NEEDHAM, Mass. [August 6, 2019] – Shark®, the #1 upright vacuum brand in America*, announces the launch of the Shark® APEX® UpLight™ Vacuum.
Available today, the new Shark® APEX® UpLight™ delivers the best of both worlds – the incredible deep-cleaning power of big upright vacuums has been combined with the ultra-lightweight versatility of a stick vacuum.
This first-of-its-kind vacuum is packed with performance and innovation. Built with more suction power than the best-selling upright vacuum**, the UpLight™ brings together Shark’s best cleaning technologies. DuoClean® tackles large, small, and stuck-on particles on carpets and floors, and the self-cleaning brushroll handles long hair and pet hair without any hair wrap.
The UpLight™ also features Shark’s lightest Lift-Away® pod —40% lighter than Shark’s original Lift-Away®. This breakthrough detachable pod lets you clean above the floor in two ways: with an integrated hose for tight spaces and detailed cleaning, or in handheld mode for cleaning furniture, stairs, and more. Additional product highlights include:
“Until now, Shark® has created two types of vacuums – big, powerful uprights like our Shark® Rotator® and ultra-lights like the Shark® Rocket®. There’s so much that our consumers love about these products, that when we asked them what they wanted most, they told us they wanted it all! The Shark® APEX® UpLight™ is finally the one vacuum that gives you the best of both worlds – full-size suction power, deep-cleaning performance, and Lift-Away® versatility with ultra-light convenience!” Mark Rosenzweig, Founder of SharkNinja.
