Shark UV540 Lift-Away Upright Vacuum (Renewed)

Just received my vacuum today! This vacuum hands down works better than my dyson ever did! You can feel the power of the suction as it effortlessly glides over the carpet or bare floor. This model has a switch for xarpet with the roller or bare floor without. Easy to maneuver with a long cord. The attachments were not generic yet it did not come in the shark box but was packaged well. It did come with owners manual. Easy to assemble no tools needed. One thing that does make me nervous is the hose for the attachments, it is not really taught looks like its been stretched a little, that was the problem with my dyson, hose broke..but will update after some longer use! There are some visible small dings, but in my house its bound to happen anyways. It did come with a brand new filter! Overall, best buy for your money! Shipping was fairly quick

When moving, we damaged our vacuum. Due to moving and relocation costs, I didn’t really want to invest more than 100$ in a new vacuum. This was perfect. My only complaints is I wish it came with 2 day shipping options. I just received it today, put it together, and vacuumed immediately. It works very well, and I was glad the user manual came with it to show me how to piece it together etc. I’m so excited to have found an affordable shark vacuum and I’m pleased with the refurbished quality. I’ve had no issues and I hope none arise. Mine did have like 4 tiny “scratches” which were just markings where the attachments had previously been pieced together, but it arrived clean and in plastic/foam as if it was new. I would purchase this again.

I'm so glad they had this model of the Shark vacuum. It's been renewed. I can't tell the difference from new or used since it has incredible suction and all parts look new. The price was great too. This vacuum can be used with deep shag carpet (reduce the suction), medium & low carpet or bare floors (wood, tile, etc). The ease of using the wand and brush for hard to get to area is great.I love this refurbished Shark professional vacuum. It's old school and looks like it will last a long time.

This vacuum (Shark UV540 Lift-Away Upright Vacuum Certified Refurbished) works perfectly. Was fairly clean with only minimal signs of prior use. Attachments appear new and everything was packaged very well. This is a positive reflection on the seller/refurbisher more so than the vac itself.I have never used a Shark before and am amazed at the suction this UV540 Lift-Away has. I wanted to try a more inexpensive model before I decided to go with a larger one so I purchase this refurbished model. I don't care what brand something is as long as it does what I need it to and has all of the features that I need however I also will not pay a premium just to say I have *** brand. This one does not disappoint and I am sold. I have not seen suction power such as this in any other brand (even though I had thought I had found some powerful vacs in the past). The UV540 does have a very small dust cup which for some reason seems to be a common trait in all brands and most models. I think this small dust cup is the only real negative that I have found so far with this model. I have two large dogs and one of them sheds constantly so this smaller dust cup must be emptied often. Given how well this vac works I can live with that undil I can purchase a model with a larger cup. I also would have liked the ability to utilize an actual extension hose for hand tools rather than the hard pipe this has (I have a whole collection for various vacs over the years). The extension hose I have that is a common size but does not adapt to this pipe very well but I will work it out. Even though dust cup is small the process of emptying it is more straight forward, and it is also fairly simple to clean the filter which I found is not so with many other brands that I have used (wife had to ask how to empty it as it sort of confused her due to being much more simplified and she really did not expect that). It would ordinarily be just large enough for an average/large size room (if you don't have a dog that sheds as heavily as mine) to be able to complete one room or so before having to empty it. I do like the fact you don't have to take the whole vac outside to clean the car possibly risking tipping it over and damaging it. If you don't mind emptying the dust cup a little more often or absolutely need a larger one then I would highly recommend this model. For suction power I don't think you can beat a Shark corded vac (at least I have not found one yet). I will be looking to the larger dust cup model next.***Edit/update-Been using this vac for over a year and a half. Still works very well. Twice I have had to repair the plastic protrusions that the clips clip onto that hold the dust bin on. I used structural plastic epoxy that seems to be holding well. If it did not then I would have had to purchase a replacement bin or another vac as it would not stay together without tape. Other than that the only other issue would be the odd size tube that requires some creative construction to adapt an extension hose.I have noticed that after some length of time the hepa filter will plug up causing the vac to loose suction. Looking at it it did not appear dirty at all but that was definitely the problem and a new aftermarket one solved.I will definitely be purchasing another when this vac does finally give out (although maybe the model with the larger bin).****Update 7-3-2024- vac still going strong. I did end up purchasing a replacement dust bin after my epoxy repairs on the dust bin tabs eventually gave out after the cracking (possibly from tipping over) extended further. Also, I did recently discover an aftermarket adapter that clips perfectly into the handle/hose end that allows connecting standard 1-1/4" attachments that now increases the usability of the vacuum tremendously. I would still recommend the shark vac and if this one does give up will be purchasing another.

This is my third Shark vacuum. I love how they work. The suction power is great and the swivel head gets into most places.

I was impressed. It was like new. I have not used it yet. I did make sure everything worked as described. I love this vacuum. It has great suction and is lightweight.

This is the best shark that I have ever owened.

I detail RVs for a living and I fell in love with our vacuum at work that originally was this model, eventually we wore it out seeing as we use it a LOT every single day and we ended up upgrading to the more expensive and even better Duo model, meanwhile I was using an ancient Bissell from probably 20 years ago that my mother handed down to me at home. The first time I used this Shark I filled the canister vacuuming less than half of my living room, I was disgusted to see just how much filth my old vacuum wasn’t picking up and I was living in!!! It was quick to assemble and my carpet looks great and it’s so easy to use and my only regret is I didn’t spend the money sooner! Plus it being a renewed unit it was pretty damn affordable too! Highly recommend!
