Really just sucks, don’t know how else to put it.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was awful. I tried to get there within two weeks to return it, even sent a message on the 15th day but it was too late. This vacuum sucks! It never had good suction, it just scattered things around, and I was constantly getting tangled in the long cord. Worst purchase ever!

Not worth the money and pitiful return policy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Shark powerfin brush stopped turning after 3 weeks (or basically 3 uses). Piece of crap. Convenient enough, Best Buy's new return policy prevented me from returning. Shark refuses a refund and tried to say that the part was not under warranty. After pitching a fit complaining, they sent me the replacement part because it was so new and they would wave the normal shipping. What a crock. I know it's going to break soon again. So, over $200 wasted. I will not buy anything from Shark nor from Best Buy again. If you sell electronics that are not constantly used, you cannot have a 2 week return policy.

Don’t waste your money
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This vacuum stopped working for us within 3 months. Tried to exchange it here and it wasnt available. Called Shark, they made us cut the cord of the broken vacuum before sending a new one and then charged us shipping. Waste of money and time with horrible customer service. What happened to a warranty? Very frustrated and will go back to Dyson only.

Should have known better
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this thing 14 months ago and now is deader than a door nail!! We have a couple of long coat German Shepherd Dogs (otherwise known as German Shedders) and I realize this thing has had a workout. But "come on, man!!" It just can't handle the pet fur. And I should have known better as I've had a Shark or 2 and they've always cratered in about a year. And it's not like they're $79-89 vacuums. Total junk, and extremely difficult to break down and clean. Never again for me and sfould be the same for you.

Doesnt stack up to the reviews
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from a stick Dyson to this vacuum but was disappointed. Setup was easy, but during use, it just didn’t feel powerful. I ended up returning it and spending $80 more on a Dyson Animal 3 (on sale), which picked up half a canister of dirt that this vacuum missed. Save yourself the trouble and invest in a better model. Also, the odor control feature smelled like a cheap air freshener from a gas station not great.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it 2 weeks ago, and it died on the first use after running for 15 minutes. BestBuy support on the phone is useless. They are giving me a runaround. So much for being a Total Tech Support member.
