I love this vacuum, it does everything I need it to do. It has lights so you can see what you’re vacuuming, it has the different floor options so you can go from the carpet to the hardwood with ease. It’s a little heavier then other vacuums I have had but as I use it I got use to it. I love the ability to take off certain pieces to clean it and make sure your brushes are always clean and if anything gets stuck you can pop off the cover and get it out super easy. I have tile, high pile carpet and low pile carpet so this vacuum has made it easy to clean up messes or just cleaning with ease, the cord is really long which I like because we have a bigger home, the container is smaller so it fills up faster but it doesn’t bother me. Im super happy with this purchase.

I have a cleaning company over 10 years specialized at high end luxury condos .I purchased 2 Sharks Apex vacuum cleaner and they are amazing !!! Very powerful , easy to navigate , light in the hand , extensions are great for vacuuming all baseboards And saving a lot of time . I highly recommend to all my clients Sark Apex !

I have owned a few vacs including the ones with the washer. I borrowed and have used a few good ones and wow, this was amazing to the touch, no sweat transitioning and literally cleaned the entire area rug, 8X7 in less than 3 minutes. The rug was filthy full of rabbit and dog hair and of course, dust and all sort of broken toys. Big to small debris and man, i just love the thing. I also used the upholstery’s accessory As well as the crevice and pet thingy. Totally Impressed by this beautiful creation of Shark. Worth the price. The only battle will be how long this thing will last. I will give update later

Needed a corded vacuum to replace a worn out Dyson and wanted to try out this Shark since I already have one of their cordless options. We have multiple vacuums from Dyson, Hoover, Shark and even an old Filter Queen to test this against. This one came very easy to assemble, just snap the head onto the main tube, set it upright, and slide the housing down on it until it clicks. Attach the hose to the main body and the handle to the main tube and you are pretty much done. There are hooks for winding the cord and it’s really long, a good bit longer than the one on either of the Dysons we have. There is also a powered mini brush that you can store on one of the attachment points on the main body, it even locks in place so it won’t fall off, and another attachment point on the other side to place one other attachment of your choosing “she wanted the crevice tool there”. There’s also a dusting brush and a brush/upholstery tool included, pretty much all the tools you really need to do a thorough cleaning. This vacuum is full sized, nothing really compact about it, and it’s pretty heavy, very heavy according to my wife and quite a bit heavier than the Dyson she liked using the most. I wanted her to give this a good try out since she’s used to that corded Dyson. Her first comment was the weight, but that quickly went away once she started using it as was extremely impressed with the amount of suction this thing has. The only other vacuum in the house even close to the amount of suction this thing has it my ShopVac in the garage, just an amazing amount of suction from this upright. The other surprising thing about it is, while having that kind of suction it’s quite a bit quieter than the other uprights we have and just as quiet as our larger stick type vacuums. There are three suction/power levels you can adjust, from bare floor, low pile, and thick pile carpet. Changing these around changes the brush speed and suction. There’s also an anti-hair device in this, it keeps hair from winding around the brush roll. I was skeptical at first but was amazed as there wasn’t any hair wrapped around the main roller. My wife has very long hair and after vacuuming I can always find a few strands wrapped around the rollers of our other vacuums, not a single one with this Shark, I was very impressed with that. Shark engineers finally put some decent headlights on this model, like our Shark cordless, and it’s a feature my wife didn’t realize was so nice to have until she started using it. She was also surprised that the handle, once you detach it, to use the hand tools, also has a single led light that lights up the area you are working on, just an excellent idea. My wife really likes having the ability to detach the main housing, “motor/dustbin”, from the handle and use it like you would a canister vac, “just no wheels”. This makes it very easy to carry around the body while sweeping under beds and furniture. She also used that along with the powered pet head to clean stairs. She was also impressed with the ease of cleaning the filters, nothing to twist, pull or uncover to get to the main ones. Just lift off the dust bin as you would when you empty it and there they sit right in the bottom of the main motor housing. Grab the plastic end that’s sticking up, lift, and the main filter comes right out. There’s a secondary filter pad underneath that with a nice tab for lifting it out. Then either go out and knock the dust out of them, or better yet, wash them out and let them dry overnight before putting back. The HEPA final filter is behind a cover on the front of the main body, just remove it and that filter lifts right out. Very simple filter maintenance, and you can find replacement filters very cheaply if you want to replace often. Before our first run with this I had vacuumed up a large 6x8' throw rug we have in our living room with our Dyson cordless. It’s very low pile and that Dyson always does a good job of getting the dog hair out of it. I went over it a few times, very carefully making sure I went over everything. We proceeded to run the Shark over it next, setting it on low pile. We both noticed how quiet the unit is even compared to the cordless Dyson. After going over the same area we pulled off the dust bin and were pretty amazed that it had a good handful of dog hair and a lot of very fine dust in it. The power of the unit and the extra suction really pulled the dirt out from even that low pile that should have been pretty clean already. So if you are looking for replacing your worn out vac, or just want something new with a lot of power this may be one to consider, the amount of suction it produces is pretty amazing and earns a 5 star easily.

This is a great vacuum. A lot of my comparisons will be based against our Dyson that served us faithfully for the last 10 years. I will list pros and cons below. Pros: The headlights on both the main unit and the wand make the whole process much better. They are great for seeing things on the floor that you miss without them. As you can see from the attached photo the amount of hair and dirt in the bag is what I got out of the Shark immediately after I had vacuumed the same area with our Dyson. I was quite amazed at the amount of hair etc. the Dyson had missed. The Zero M process, however it works is great. I have vacuumed our whole house twice and there is virtually no hair buildup on the brush roller. It does almost seem to be almost self-propelled when vacuuming on carpet. We used the appliance tool to clean under our refrigerator and stove and I was quite embarrassed at how much was under them. The powered liftaway feature is great for doing things like stairs and along walls and ceilings. The powered pet hair tool works great and when you attach it to the wand it automatically turns on the headlight on the handle which is very handy. It is much quieter than our old Dyson as well. The onboard tool storage is very nice and easy to use. The shape of the brush head makes it easier to get close to walls and under things compared to our Dyson. Works very well for edge cleaning. Very easy to assemble and was using it 5 minutes after it came out of the box. Cons: The dust cup seems to be smaller than our Dyson was and is not as easy to empty It seems to be a little heavier to move around. Steering it does take a little getting used to. The more I use it the easier it is getting to be. The cord guide that you put the cord in on the side does not hold the cord very well. Overall I am very satisfied with the operation of this vacuum and would recommend it to friends. Seems to be well built and if it lasts as long as our Dyson did I will be very happy.
