Meet Shark s evolved Lift-Away? upright vacuum, LA500WM. Its Lift-Away Technology, now with an even lighter pod, lets you Lift Away the pod with an easy-release pedal. Hold the pod in one hand, and use the hose to clean tough areas above the floor, like stairs, furniture, and more. This lightweight upright vacuum also features DuoClean? PowerFins?: a PowerFins roller and a soft roller combine on all floors, for continuous cleaning contact.
