Good Vacuum. Very lightweight. I am writing this review to inform people looking to buy a SPARE BATTERY. XBAT350, the model battery Shark says is compatible with this vacuum is out of stock on the Shark website. XBAT300, which is in stock, is the exact same battery, and uses the same charger. The only difference is the older XBAT300 does not have a little hole on the bottom, which prevents it from being fully sat into this cordless vertex lift-away vacuum. This can be remedied by drilling a small hole through the plastic on the bottom as seen in the pictures. This makes the XBAT300 battery work with this vacuum. Shark customer service was no help when I contacted them to see if this was possible.

this is the best vacuum for the value. I appreciate the standard configuration for ease of use. Many others are to top heavy to be agile.

I own this for 1 month now and it works great in my 720 sf apartment. I have luxury vinyl flooring with area carpets in Living Room/Kitchen and carpeting in the Bedroom. Battery lasts a long time before recharging and then charges quickly.

This is a great vacuum with a BIG CATCH: long-term parts availability is limited to non-existent. Even though this vacuum came out only a few months ago, parts for it are drying up fast. For example, I needed the "deep-cleaning motorized pet tool" (part # 857FFJ362H) to do my stairs and upholstery. Seeing it out of stock on their website and unavailable from other stores, I contacted product support and they told me that this particular part is no longer in production. Looking on Reddit, parts availability also seems to be a common complaint. Had I known of this problem, I would not have spent this kind of money on the vacuum.

Does great keeping up with my 3 pets and 3 kids! I do wish it had longer battery life or came with 2 batteries.
