Shark - Cordless Pet, Cordless Stick vacuum with XL Dust Cup and LED Headlights, up to 40 min Runtime - Moonlight Blue

Product is easy to use and storage is super compact. For a budget level vacuum this has been a great choice. Love that this doubles as a standing vacuum and hand vac.

Affordable and very useful. I recommend it . Easy to use and dont take space

So I used the more tried and true Shark navigator. Not a terrible vacuum at all but was a bit too bulky, too much suction on my plush rugs and of course it was corded. Enter the Shark cordless pet vacuum. It covered the 3 things I mentioned above. It works just fine on plush rugs. It is slim and nimble and its cordless so I can move from room to room seamlessly. So far a 40 min runtime is no big deal as I have a fairly small apt so if you’ve got a large house it might not be the product for you. This was worth the extra $20. Couldn’t be happier with the product.

This versatile Cordless Pet Stick Vacuum functions as an excellent handheld and upright vacuum with plenty of power and versatility for most household jobs. Design The Shark Cordless Pet stick vacuum has a pretty common looking design at first glance. There's an easy to use power button toggle, press it once to turn the vacuum on and again to turn it off. A feature that was new to me is the way you can store this. The handheld part separates from the upright and easily attaches to the post, just above the base/floor unit. You don't need to mount anything on the wall to hang it, you can just set it in the corner of a closet, or where ever it fits, without taking much room at all. Another favorite feature of mine is something Shark has been doing for while, but the "Pet" part of the name is because, somehow, hair doesn't get tangled in the roller! I don't have pets but my vacuum would still get hair tangled around the roller. With this it doesn't. I don't understand how that works, the roller is a different design, but anyway, it just works. It's great to never mess with hair wrapped around the roller. Overall, the vacuum is compact and light weight but big enough and strong enough to replace a corded vacuum in my house. It includes a crevice tool and a "pet" multi-tool. I put pet in quotes because I don't have pets. The multi-tool can be used with or without a detachable brush. The attachments can be used with the upright post for greater reach, as needed. Upright Use This stick vacuum works great as an upright. While it's battery powered and fairly light weight, it still has plenty of power for vacuuming hard floors and carpet. There are no settings to mess with but it detects when it's on carpet and switches to a stronger mode, spinning the roller, with a light changing from blue to red to show that. You can also pull a trigger for a boost to the suction power at any time, as long as you hold the trigger. The floor unit is not too high, which is good, so it fits under low things like the door stops in our house (see attached picture). It also has a very versatile connection to the upright post so you can move it around at almost any angle and hold the vacuum very low to the ground, fitting under lots of furniture (I'll include a picture showing this too). When using it as an upright there's a whole row of LED lights to help you see where you're vacuuming. Handheld Use This upright works great as a handheld. While it's almost large for a handheld, it's not too heavy and works well for getting hard to reach places. As mentioned above, you can also use the upright post with the attachments for longer reach. Again, you have the trigger you can pull for more power at any time for as long as you pull the trigger. Even without that, this is very powerful, I think, for a handheld vacuum. Battery Life The battery life has been very good. I don't have great stats that I kept track of or anything but I've been impressed with how much I could vacuum on a charge. The battery would be very easy to swap if you wanted to buy a second to keep on hand. Keep in mind that if you use it as an upright on carpet where it's using the motor to spin the roller (on hardwood it will spin just due to the suction) the battery will go down faster. There are three lights on the side of the battery that show the power level. When it gets down to a single flashing light, you know the power is very low. Summary If you're looking for one vacuum to be used as a main, upright, vacuum for your house as well as a handheld for quick spot cleaning, I think the Shark Cordless Pet is a great choice! Depending on the size of your house, this really may be all you need. I think it's an excellent upright and handheld. I love the way you never need to mess with any settings. It cleans hard floors and carpets easily and seems to be a well made and thought out vacuum.

If I were going solely off the claims this vacuum makes in terms of suction, cleaning performance, and ease of use, I would easily say this stick vac lives up to all the hype. I can admit that right off the bat. The only issue I have is the design. I'll go into detail on everything below, but I wanted to give the quick synopsis up front. Let's start with the suction power. This cordless vac replaced another Shark model that I had in my home. It was a bit sleeker in its design, but it lacked the cleaning power to be a stand-in for my larger primary vacuum. The new cordless pet vac has enough power that it can handle about 90% of the jobs my primary vacuum does. With its extended runtime and large dust cup, I can basically clean my entire place on a single charge without even plugging in my main vacuum. From the kitchen to the bathroom to the rugs, it was able to pick up everything, keep the rollers clear, and do so with relative ease while pushing. It has lots of power, and there's a very easy-to-access high-power mode that's activated by simply pulling the trigger at the top. If you need an extra boost, just pull the trigger and off you go. This leads to some great features, such as the LED lights. It has a flat profile that allows you to get under furniture, and the LED lights help you spot hidden dust that you would otherwise miss. It's also very versatile. You can use it as an upright, unclick the wand to reach high places, add an attachment to get into crevices, or attach the motorized tool to tackle pet hair or other hair around the house. The battery is huge, but it provides roughly three times the cleaning time of my previous stick vac. Unfortunately, you have to plug the battery in directly, as there isn't a charging dock that charges it while it's stored. The good news—or bad, depending on how you look at it—is that the battery is removable if you'd rather charge it separately. In essence, you could buy a second battery and keep it on standby in case you forget to charge the first one and need to finish a cleaning job. As for runtime, it lives up to the hype, especially if you're not using full-power mode, which I rarely found necessary during my testing. Here's where I had enough of an issue to dock it a full star: the design. When you look at the product photos, it's shown fully assembled in the upright position. However, the trade-off for the extra runtime and larger dust cup is that the vacuum is very top-heavy, which means it can't stand on its own. If you're cleaning from room to room and need to stop to move something, you can't simply stand the vacuum upright and walk away because it will tip over. Instead, you have to lean it against a wall. I understand why this trade-off was necessary to accommodate the larger battery and dust cup, but I believe a stronger locking mechanism at the base could have allowed it to remain upright for both temporary stops and storage. As for storage, you have to disconnect the vacuum every time and hang it from the included wall mount. When stored this way, none of the additional attachments can remain connected. In other words, you have to remove any attachment before storing it and reconnect it each time you want to clean. This isn't a major issue, but it does feel like a step backward from the streamlined "grab-and-go" experience many stick vacuums offer. It's especially noticeable if you've owned a multi-purpose stick vac in the past that could simply stand upright in the corner between uses. Another minor annoyance I have with vacuum manufacturers in general is that when extra attachments are included, there should be a place to store them on the vacuum itself or at least in some type of storage caddy. The included attachments are genuinely useful, but otherwise they'll just end up sitting in a drawer unless you create a dedicated place for them. Aside from what I consider to be a flawed design, I found this cordless pet stick vac to be extremely powerful, very useful, and more than capable of handling the vast majority of my cleaning needs without having to pull out my full-size vacuum. It's just that the design makes it a bit awkward to use, and I have to change the way I vacuum to avoid having it tip over and crash onto the floor. Would I still recommend it? Absolutely. It lives up to its cleaning claims and is an extremely effective cleaning tool. I just wish the design matched the excellent performance.
