Throw Rugs
I had to stand on the throw rugs to hold them down because the suction is so strong. These two carpets are at the back door and get a lot of traffic. They also get vacuumed by my Dyson (albeit old) weekly.
After running the Shark vacuum over them, the vacuum was full.

Has problems
I purchased my about a month ago rubber gasket came off called to get it replaced and they are out so I’m having to wait over a month to get it fixed so I’m not at all happy with this purchase

I think I’m hooked!
I bought this vacuum last month during an incredible sale. I was skeptical about getting another corded vacuum but this is amazing. I love all the features and it cleans deeper than my Dyson stick vacuum ever had. It’s light weight, stands on its own and maneuvers so smoothly! So powerful on my carpets that even on hard surface mode, it picks up the rugs. The only str...

Great for hardwood and low pile rugs
I have it 2 weeks. - I have 2 dogs hardwood floors and low pile carpets. This handles all with ease and actually does a great job picking it all up. I was hesitant to get a stick but found it works just as well as regular and it’s easier to maneuver . The cord is long and covers most of my main floor. The small con is you have to dump the cup often, but it’s really...

Best shark stick vac.
Love it. Much improved over other stick vacs. It stands up on its own and has a longer cord.

The cord will be the downfall of this vacuum
I really do like this vacuum. I have a shark full size vacuum that is great and love having a corded stick vacuum for quick yet complete cleaning. I have long thick hair that sheds like crazy and it never gets wrapped around the brushrolls. The smaller canister honestly makes it so much easier to empty out the debris and dust, as my old battery stick vacuum from another...

Great features and powerful. Sharon
I've had this shark detect vacuum for about 2 weeks. I've used it twice so far and it is amazing! It's got power and wants to take off soon as you turn it on! It cleans like my other shark did which was also amazing but with more power. It's lighter in weight, stands upright with power control and vacuum container attached to the top. Easy to use. Easy to clean. You can...

Shark Corded Power Detect
After a month it has worked great. Suction is consistent and the auto detect transitions well and instantly between carpet and hard floors. The cord is longer than our previous Shark and I don’t have to worry about charging it. Canister works well and it fills evenly starting with the back portion so that once it’s full, it is actually full. So far so good, absolute...

Great features
This is a very nice stick vacuum. It stands up on its own which is big. It has what's called power detect and will determine what kind of power is needed for the floor that you vacuuming. The power is outstanding.

It’s just okay.
I’ve owned the shark powerdetect for two years now. The statement they make about no wrap hair I’d say is mildly true. It still wraps hair once in a while but it’s not hard to unwrap. The second thing and this is the main one is the cord is awful. It’s got plenty of length which is really nice but the cord is so stiff and hard it’s like dragging around a piece of hard ...

Great replacement vacuum!
I bought this vacuum as a replacement for my other shark vacuum that lasted for over 10 years. The new features I am loving: extra cord length, the odor control, high suction, and the stand alone feature! Our house is 3200 sq ft, with a finished basement of equal size, and has both carpet, wood floors, and flexible tile-type basement flooring. This vacuum works great on...

Lightweight, forward propelling feature
This is a great vacuum. It's lightweight. It's more lightweight than most of the stick vacuums I have had. I have trouble with my joints, and this is the first vacuum I can carry around myself. The only issue I have is that the self propelling feature when I'm vacuuming can take a little bit of energy to wrestle back in, so when you're pushing forward with the vacuum, i...

Detailed Review from Independent Customer
I did so much research before purchasing this vacuum and had trouble finding reviews that weren't marked as "incentived" so I wanted to post a thorough review. I've had this vacuum for 2 months and I love it, it is a huge upgrade for me. The things that people were complaining about in the other reivews don't feel like a problem to me but that's mostly personal preferen...

Works great.
I have a shark rotator upright vacuum now for 11 years and it is still working great. Since I have been impressed with it I just wanted something lighter for some smaller jobs and my hardwood floors. It works great and it has great suction also and I love how it is a lot lighter. I have been impressed with Shark.
