YES! It has an attachment just for stairs. Works great. Best vaccine you can buy! "I Love my shark"
928097
Yes. I do with entire vacuum as is. Can also detach canister and use as handheld with wand.
928098
yes, but wouldnt recommend lugging the whole thing - use the hose and hose head adapter.

Yes you would need to vacuum first, but honestly this thing is not going to clean your carpets.

Yes you can. The vacuum is better as a hand held though......it's very top heavy with the attachments. Has great suction.

We have an inground pool with stairs at the shallow end. This is our 3rd year with this robotic cleaner. This pool cleaner will go around stairs, but it will not climb them. My unit climbs the beveled sides, and even the vertical sides of our pool with no difficulty. Please note: the vacuum bags must be kept clean for the unit to run properly.

I love the great suction of the animal. I do use it on the flight of 14 stairs to the basement and it works fine. However, I am thinking that in the future I might invest also in the dyson rechargeable stick Vac. I would use it for stairs and quick cleanups in the kitchen area. But I am happy with animal canister as I use it on carpets and also with the "flat out" tool on the laminates as it get as close to the floor and grooves as possible. Hope this information helps you in making your choices. Good luck

Yes. It does. It has the small tools and brushes for getting in tight and small spaces. The small brush is perfect for stairs and the cone gets into the corners. The only thing with stairs is the awkwardness of the unit but without the power brush, it is manageable. We love this unit as we have three dogs and two cats. I highly recommend this vacuum.

Yes you can! A great feature this unit has is a brush on off switch which allows for great pick up on hard floors like tile. Just turn the brush off, lower the vacuum to the lowest height setting and you will be good to go!

I don't have carpeted stairs so I can't really answer that, but when I try to vacuum upholstered furniture the brushes stop rotating unless you apply the lightest touch possible, which means that it doesn't really pick up well unless you keep going over the same spot picking up a little more each time, which is a pain in the butt. I don't recommend buying it.

No, 'fraid not. This vac is primarily for stairs. Only attachment is a wand. I feel your pain with the computer mess. I have a little DeWalt rechargeable/corded vac. If it sucked like a good vac, it'd be close to ideal.

This vacuum does a much better than average job on stairs. The motorized head is light and swivels easily. It has great pick-up, and a light on the head. The entire vacuum is very light and easy to carry on stairs. The crevice tools Los work well on stairs. The long cord is plenty for he stirs in most homes.

Yes! That is exactly why I purchased this attachment, and it does a terrific job. The beater bar is very effective, and the device channels the suction from the vacuum admirably - resulting in very clean stairs. However, be aware that you will have to hold the device to maneuver it - the hand tool simply slides onto the hose from the vacuum without any means of securing the attachment. So, if you push and pull it, it will slide off unless you are holding it at the attachment point.

Wish I could answer about stairs, but Ive used it for a few months now in a 800 sq ft apt mostly carpeted and I've loved it. As a guy who doesn't vacuum regularly, this thing is awesome because its easy to use and it picks up a ton. I have no problem emptying out a container, it's so much easier then remembering to buy bags or filters.

perhaps so. It is the best vacuum cleaner we have ever had and it does a fantastic job of removing pet hair etc. We love it because of it's ability to get under beds, sofas and cabinets. It is also wonderful for cleaning stuffed furniture and draperies. True, you can get a vacuum of lesser capabilities than this one, but in the end, you get what you pay for.

It works AWESOME on stairs. Does a terrific job picking up pet hair and overall cleaning.

Yes, this would work well on stairs. My regular vacuum attachments (Hoover) don't work because those attachments are female to fit to a male fitting and the Makita attachments are male to fit to a female fitting.

Yes, that was a main reason for purchasing it. It has a smaller head attachment that can be used for stairs. However, it is also easy to vacuum carpeted stairs with it as is, because it is lightweight and swivels.

I have a split foyer I can vacuum the two sets of steps with no extension cord. The cord is plenty long
