Hi Jake, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the battery life hasn’t met your expectations.

Hi there, Thank you for sharing your experience. Putting your trust in a new vacuum and seeing the runtime only at 15 minutes, especially on hardwood floors, would be incredibly frustrating. Hearing that the vacuum struggles to move on rugs only adds to the disappointment. That's definitely not the experience we want for you. To help address the runtime and performance concerns, please refer to our self‑help guide here for detailed troubleshooting steps: https://support.sharkninja.com/article/IP1000-Series-Shark-POWERDETECT-Cordless-Vacuum-Troubleshooting-Guide?redirect=false. If the steps don’t solve the issue, please follow the directions provided at the end of the guide so our team can assist you further. Kind Regards, Shark Clean.

Hi Mg08d, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about the frustration you’ve experienced when using this vacuum on your washable rugs. We understand how disappointing it can be when the vacuum lifts the rug, shuts off repeatedly due to sensitivity, and makes cleaning feel nearly impossible, especially when you previously had a Shark model that worked well for your needs. This certainly isn’t the experience we want for our customers. We appreciate you sharing these details, and we’ll be sure to pass your feedback along to our product team. To make cleaning throw rugs easier, you can switch to Eco Mode by using the trigger under the handheld. Eco Mode is the recommended setting for throw rugs, as it provides effective suction while being gentler on carpets and rugs and easier to maneuver. In addition, we recommend trying our troubleshooting guide, which may help address the sensitivity and shut‑off concerns you’re encountering: https://support.sharkninja.com/article/IP1000-Series-Shark-POWERDETECT-Cordless-Vacuum-Troubleshooting-Guide If the issue continues, the guide will direct you to our customer service team for further assistance.
