Concerns have also been raised about the quality of certain components and the reliability of the auto-empty function. Overall, the vacuum appears to provide excellent value and functionality when working as intended, but the consistency of its performance may be inconsistent.

Solid cordless vacuum

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this vacuum, it is easy to use and stronger than my old cordless vacuum. The battery seems to last a long time, I haven’t actually timed it, but it never died before the end of the job for me. I’m able to get the whole basement vacuumed, the stairs and kitchen and hallway. As with most cordless vacuums, I think it’s best for touch ups and a quick clean, not a general whole house vacuum. I really enjoy the auto option that adjusts ...

Great vacuum for a house with dogs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I was very pleased with this vacuum. When I opened the box, the assembly instructions were clearly printed on the box. I was able to set it up, plug it in, and get to using it fairly quickly. It had excellent suction and I was able to vacuum the first floor and stairs with one charge, including a den with fairly deep carpet covered in dog hair. On a normal pass, I would expect to get a couple more rooms out of a charge. I was particula...

Horrible.

I bought this today and it is the biggest waste of money I have ever spent. The thing takes five hours plus to charge with a total run time of about 20 minutes. It’s literally un-usable and the suction is terrible. DO NOT BUY

Faulty Design

It vacuums well . But the stick tube ls too narrow and keeps plugging up. I have to put a dowel down the tube to unplug it almost every time I use it.

Has so many amazing features!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum is AMAZING. It tells you the amount of suction that it is using(so you know when you’re going over crumbs). It is a lot quieter that most vacuums I have owned previously. It’s cordless so it makes for easy use and it has not died on me yet. It also has a light so you can really see what you are cleaning up. On top of all of that, it’s self cleaning. I honestly have not used a vacuum as amazing as this one.

So far, loving it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, this vacuum has been AMAZING! I love being able to vacuum my entire apartment without worrying about tripping over a cord or unplugging and plugging back in the cord over and over. I also love that this can be used as a handheld vacuum to clean up smaller areas. The self-emptying feature is a dream; I feel like I can have this vacuum out in my apartment rather than shoved into a closet because it always looks clean and emptied. It isn’t...

So many PROs, but the biggest CON....

I bought this Shark 2 or so months ago and I do really love the convenience of a no chord vacuum. I have been wanting to switch for awhile and after researching, this is the one I went with. PROS: Love the difference attachments, great for high corners, and handheld cleaning jobs. it's so light and easy to maneuver. I truly enjoy the cordless aspect of the vacuum. Grab and clean so quickly. The suction meets my needs and I really like the different speeds and suction options that can be chosen f...

Great all purpose vacuum!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great all purpose vacuum! This vacuum has great suction power and can clean any mess I have encountered so far. It is easy to maneuver and charge for use. Battery works great. The dust capacity is large and you do not need to empty too often.

Very convenient!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To say I like my Shark cordless vac is an understatement! It works great! It’s so convenient…just take it off the stand and it’s ready to go anywhere because there is no cord! Vacuuming my steps are a breeze. It has great suction and handy attachments. It can also operate as a handheld for those hard-to-get spaces. The charge lasts through all my house. It even empties itself…what more could I ask!? If there is one downside…it’s a littl...

Like the features.

Good enough for us , because more powerful Shark vacuums suck up thin rugs. I like the way it cleans itself. Only have to empty once a .month.

I really want it to work maybe a bad battery

I have been using my vac for a few weeks. I am disappointed it won’t run past ten minutes tops. I have a corded one had for years it is awesome. I thought I wasn’t getting it on charger good but still doesn’t last. I vacuumed up sugar I spilt and when I put on charger the sugar fell out the hose

Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this vacuum, it’s very light and easy to maneuver around the house! There are 2 additional heads they gave us for a more deep clean. It’s very powerful and effective with cleaning. It honestly collected so much dirt and hair from a short vacuum session. I’m being serious when I say I never felt more excited to vacuum before! As for the noise I think it’s a pretty average sounding vacuum. Lastly battery life is good, it can at the least l...

Impressive suction and run time

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been looking for a cordless stick vacuum with a handheld capability for months. This Shark really surprised me. It charges quickly, picks up pet hair like a dream, and it quiet enough to not scare my cat away every time I use it. I also really like how it automatically purges what you’ve vacuumed up into the bin on the stand each time you hang the cordless stick back on the charger. Best part of all is that it’s strong enough to pick up c...

It’s pretty quiet too compared to the other vaccuum I had. clean up is easy. And she’s still going strong after a month and a half of using her !!

Horrible waste of money

Would Not Recommend

I bought this around the first of December and I am so disappointed with it. I’ve previously owed 2 Shark stick cordless vacs and they were really great. This one, not great at all. Unless I run it as high as it will go, it just pushes the dirt around the floor and doesn’t suck it up. But, running it on high drains the battery so fast that I can’t even get 2 rooms done. Running on eco mode is completely useless, and although it’s supposed to have more power along baseboards using the Detector Pr...

Great for carpets

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is perfect for cleaning carpets. Really strong suction to get up all the dust and mites that might be on carpet. Not too noisy either. The outlet downside is that it does take a lot of storage space.

Might be better than Dyson

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE this vacuum. I have very long, dark hair and have yet to find a single strand wrapped around the roller bar! That’s something I struggle with our Dyson, but not the shark. Suction is fantastic, and you can hear the auto detect floor type working as you vacuum. The auto empty is something that (for me) is a nice to have, but not wholly necessary for a 2 bed apartment. Overall LOVE this vacuum and have already told family about it!

Very nice light vacuum

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum is very light. It gets up all the dog hair and more. Used it a handful of times on one charge. Not very noisy. I love that it self empties. It was very quick to put together too.

Suction power needs help

I got rid of my cordless Dyson for this and it's even worse. I absolutely hate this vacuum. It does NOT clean hard floors well at all. Half my house is tile which is why I wanted to get this cordless vacuum that self emptied. Would not recommend and makes me hesitant to buy another shark product.
