So far it's wonderful!
So far it's wonderful for my 92 year old Mom who still lives independently! It's easy for her to operate, maneuver, empty, and charge. She's figuring out how to do everything and it is so much easier and lighter for her to use on all her floors (tile and carpet). She's loving it! It's such a big hit that my sister just ordered one for herself. Hope that over time we all...

Bad product
I liked that this vacuum was cordless and no hair got wrapped or caught around the brush rolls. Unfortunately the wheels squeaked when using it and the dust cup came apart after a few months so I am no longer able to use the vacuum.

PowerDetect cordless vacuum
It took me a couple of uses to get familiar with how the power boost works on the various flooring types we have, but once I knew how to modify the power level for throw rugs I was thrilled with the extra powerful suction it has! We live in dusty Colorado and when the winds blow there is a very fine dust that makes it through the window and doorframe’s. This vacuum do...

Such a great vacuum!

Honestly super impressed with how powerful this is for a cordless vacuum, the battery is also amazing!

No dock? Really???
What they dont tell you is there is no wall bracket. There is no dock. You need to remove the battery from the vaccum cleaner every time you charge it. I stupidly assumed it would be like every other vaccum stick on the market that you put it in the doc and it holds the cleaner and starts vaccuming straight away. Funny they dont mention or show photos of the ridiculous ...

Powerful but flawed.
I bought this a few weeks ago to replace our previous vacuum which had started to have mechanical issues.
Pros:
- It does a great job of cleaning and so far I haven't seen any issues with hair getting tangled on the roller.
- Doesn't require holding down a trigger to run it.
- Emptying it is relatively easy compared to some other stick vacuums. The dust bin pivots out...

It sucks but not in a good way
I usually love everything Shark except for this horrible vacuum. I hate it! The 70 minute run time is a joke but the biggest problem is the suction head and rollers -- they have quit so many times . They're clean, I put it back on and it runs for a few more times then same thing again -- it stops sucking and the rollers stop turning. I do not like the way it whirs up ...

regretful purchase
a lot more cons than pros unfortunately. Struggles to pick up litter, the pet tool attachment doesn’t even pick up fur properly.
It’s fiddly, very heavy (hurts my wrists just trying to hold it, it’s high pitched.. over all just isn’t worth the money tbh. A regretful purchase. And now it’s on sale! 🥲 I

All except kitty litter
I bought this unit primarily to pick up kitty litter. The one thing it doesn't do exceptionally well is pick up kitty litter. Disappointing. I tale off the beater attachment and it works well , but not what I was expecting

Great little machine
So glad I took the leap and bought this vacuum. The amount of dirt I pick up each time I use it is insane! I love how I can switch to different cleaning modes, and being able to bend the stick helps to reach those hard to get spots. Just buy it, you won’t be disappointed. I had a Dyson for 14 years and was apprehensive I wouldn’t like this as much, but I do, if not more...

Broke the second day!
The roller fell off the second day I used it! It caught on the edge of the rug and now it continues to fall out everytime I use it. Can’t believe I spent money on this.

Dissapointing
Bought this several months ago as a replacement for a Dyson. So far, its been a disappointment. The suction power is not great, and it easily clogs. While I am still using it, I've actually bought a refurbished Dyson.

No good on carpets
Does not work well on carpet or rugs. I have to fight with it to the point I am afraid it will break. Even on eco with lower suction. I have the same problems. I can push it sometimes but most of the time it won't work. These are low pile rugs and warpets. Wish that I would have bought something else.
