We were plannng to buy another Dyson Ball, but we started to research the Shark Power Detect and saw it was rated higher than the Dyson, and cost less. we also took a look at Consumer.Report which had it rated #1 for pet hair. We decided to bu...

Trips breakers, sometimes the detect power kicks on, at times does not work in the upright position at all. I’ve always loved my shark vacuums but this one is a piece of c…. For the money paid. I will be returning and that will cost me money for the box.

Worst vacuum cleaner don't recommend
I brought one of these and it didn't last a day. It started smoking up my room after one day. I WAS NOT offered a warranty for it nor was I offered any replacement parts for it. Also hair keept getting caught up in it as well. Overall I had to throw it away due to no warranty or replacement parts. I would love either a new one for a replacement for it.

Lasted Only 8 Moths
We had the vacuum since late April ‘25. It worked great. Now the roller brush doesn’t turn. Nothing is stuck in it. Unbelievable to have spent this much money for an 8 month life span. Do not buy this vacuum .

As a self proclaimed vacuum snob I LOVE it
Over the years I've had all types of vacuum cleaners and lately have been sticking to the Sharks. I've been happy with all of them but this one is fabulous ! All the details and customer complaints from previous Sharks have been attended to. It is lightweight but the suction is incredible. I just got it today but have been vacuuming like a fool and can't find anything w...

Excellent suction
The suction on this vacuum is amazing. I replaced my very old upright because I wanted a detachable dust tank for vacuuming the steps as I am getting too old to try to balance the old upright on a step while vacuuming at the same time. The old vacuum had a dirt sensor just as this one does. I vacuumed a swath with my old vacuum until the dirt detector went to "green...

I'm pleased
I couldn't imagine you'd want or need a vacuum with any more power. Overall, I'm pleased with it so far. If I had to nitpick, I'd say the delay in turning it on and off is a bit awkward. You push the button and think, "Is it on?" then it comes on. You have to fight the urge to push it again. And the touch buttons that select the different modes are too sensitive. you ac...

Too many bad reviews
I was planning to buy it, but too many negative reviews. It is ironic that some poor reviews got response from the company, still not addressing the problems raised to satisfy those customers to update their reviews. Meanwhile marketing keep pushing sales.

The best vacuum I've used. Couldn't believe how much debris it pulled out of my carpet AFTER I had just used my old vacuum first. This vacuum pulled out the same amount of debris that they show on TV. There were some extra parts I couldn't afford at the time of purchase that I wish I could

It sucks - in the best way.
I first bought the Shark Stain Striker Pet and after seeing how much pet hair it pulled up AFTER I had vacuumed with my Dyson, I knew I needed to upgrade. This was worth every penny. Color me impressed. You can feel the suction in the way it grabs on the carpet when vacuuming. It’s easy to maneuver, easy to empty, and I am low-key grossed out by what it pulled out of my...

I have called shark and they tell me “that’s just the way it is!” There is no problem with the suction it will easily suck up your area rugs or anything else in its way! I have never seen such a powerful suction and that is why I wanted this vacuum. With the dirt detector it can find any minuscule...
