Upright Vacuums

Vacuum cleaner power can be measured in ‘air watts’ (a combination of suction power and airflow), or in motor power. However, the highest suction power does not necessarily mean the best clean for your home – look out for adjustable suction power or floor mode controls to ensure a vacuum has settings that suit your home. Corded vacuums give you the reassurance of continuous power from a plug, without the need to recharge any batteries. Most Shark uprights feature a long 25 ft cable, with extended cleaning reach.

With proper maintenance, a corded upright vacuum can last 7–10 years or more. Because they're not reliant on a battery, corded uprights are built for consistent, heavy-duty use over the long haul.

At SharkNinja, we stand behind that durability with a 5-year limited warranty on most Shark upright vacuums, covering defects in material and workmanship under normal household conditions.

To get the most out of your vacuum, we recommend cleaning filters regularly, emptying the dust cup after each use, and clearing the brush roll of tangled hair, especially in pet or high-traffic homes.

To find the best upright vacuum cleaner for you, think about your home's layout and floor types – uprights with Lift-Away easily clean stairs, Powered Lift-Away easily cleans under furniture, while DuoClean glides across carpets and hard floors. Anti Hair Wrap uprights are perfect if you’re always battling with hair. If you have animals, choose a Pet Model which includes a dedicated pet hair removal attachment.
