Shark TruePet (NV752) Vs. Shark Apex (AZ1002) Zero-M | Upright Vacuums (Differences, Best Models)

Shark TruePet Vs. Shark Apex Upright Vacuum (Differences): Shark has very capable upright vacuums, matching Dyson vacuums in power and cleaning ability. Both vacuums provide the suction and powered brushroll to clean carpets of dust, dirt and pet hair. Both are not lightweight vacuums, but heavy duty, high powered cleaning machines. All Shark uprights are Bagless, where you empty the dust bin into a trashcan, with some of the allergens getting into the air. Both models have a lift-away canister, have pet tools, and have LED headlights.

The main differences between the Shark TruePet NV752 and Shark Apex AZ1002 are: The Apex is somewhat quieter with noise reduction technology. The Apex has DuoClean brushrolls (one hard and one soft) for carpets and hard floors, the Truepet has a regular brushroll, but has a motorized pet tool and multi pet tool, so more suitable for those with pets. The Truepet also has a larger dust canister. The Apex comes with Zero-M anti hair wrap technology to keep the brushroll clean. Both models come with different cleaning tools. Both models are close in price, with the Apex being a the more expensive model.

What makes Shark Unique- Main Differences: Shark vacuums use a Lift-Away system, where the vacuum can be lifted off the body. Traditional vacuums like Dyson use a wand +hose off the main body. Shark has LED headlights in most of its higher end uprights. The DuoClean system used on the NV803 and APEX models uses two brushrolls, one is a bristle brush to deep clean carpets, the other is a soft brushroll for larger particles and hard and hardwood floors.

Bottom Line Shark TruePet Vs. Apex: Both the Shark TruePet NV752 and Shark Apex AZ1002 are both capable and powerful vacuums. The Truepet is more focused on carpets and pets. The Apex AZ1002 Zero-M is designed for carpets, hard floors, and pets. The Duoclean on the Apex is more designed for multi-floor use with its twin brushrolls. The Truepet has a Motorized pet tool, while the Apex has an air powered one. Only the Truepet has the Pet Multi-Tool. The Apex Zero-M technology will help with those with pets, as it prevents hair from wrapping around the brushbar. The Apex has the edge on features, but is somewhat more expensive than the Truepet. The tools that come with each vacuum are different (see below). We feel that either vacuum will do a great job, but the TruePet is better if you do have pets.

Shark NV752 Cleaning Tools: Dusting crevice tool, Pet Multi-Tool, TruePet® Pet Tool (motorized), Hard Floor Hero™.

Shark AZ1002 Cleaning Tools: 12″ Crevice Tool, Upholstery Tool, and Air Powered Pet Tool.
