    Converted to Shark from Dyson, Couldn’t Be Happier

    Best vacuum we have owned. We have golden retriever who sheds more than Chewbacca. We also have a mix of hardwood and carpet, so wanted something that would easily work on both without attachments etc. this does exactly that and it’s a beast. We have a Dyson v7 and it’s not even close. The Dyson is noticeably lighter, but I’d rather have the extra 2 pounds or so and have a really powerful vacuum. The auto adjusting speeds, based on how dirty an area is, is clutch.

    I really love this vacuum. It’s lightweight and bends so you can get underneath furniture easily. It has smart technology so it adjust to your flooring whether it’s hardwood or carpet. It also adjust to dirt levels in the area to increase suction as needed. There is a light on the front that is an added advantage. By far the most important thing for me in buying this vacuum was the self emptying feature. The vacuum empties itself when placed on the base. All of the waste is trapped in a container that you only have to empty when it’s full.
