Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have three Shelties and the long hair constantly getting wrapped in the brush roll on my Shark Navigator was driving me crazy. I would swiffer the whole house then vacuum to avoid having to stand there and cut out the hair every time. After a month using this I have had to pull some hair off the roll--and not very much! It works VERY well on their long hair! Pros: It's light weight, easy to maneuver, has a bright light, and can get under almost all my furniture. And the hair doesn't get wrapped! You can switch from carpet to hard floor mode instantly with the button on the handle, same with taking off the tube section for attachments. Comes apart and goes back together on the fly. Cons: It is not as powerful as my Navigator, so doesn't suck up as much as quickly. This one can't stand up without being leaned on something, but my Navigator fell over a lot too, so not much of a con. Dust cup is small, so much more frequent emptying. Overall very pleased with this model and highly recommend it.

I am not sure what I was expecting out of this purchase but I'm not $300 worth of blown away. PROS: To be true, it is a good vacuum. I love the foam roller for hardwood floors and the cord length is more than enough. It has an ample supply of suction available. CONS: The motor and canister housing is a touch unruly. For upright standing storage, you must remove it from the top of the tube and place it in a hanging slot that sits lower on the tube. It is suspended by a hooked slot on the rear of the vacuum debris canister. One massive drawback that I have encountered with this design is that when doing this, enough pressure gets applied to the debris canister that it will separate the body of the vac from the canister at the seal. It's not a lot of separation, but it is enough to cause small amounts of wispy dust to fall out. This might seem like pedantic fault-finding to some, but from my perspective, when you spend $300 on a vacuum, this is a glaring design flaw that is frankly unacceptable at this price point and leads me to assume that dust probably has other ways of escaping once vacuumed up. SUMMARY: A good vacuum with a terrible price point.

This vacuum does everything you would like a vacuum to do and with ease and while being very light weight. Works fabulously picking up the long many hairs from my dog, cleans window sills, woodwork, all types of carpets and hardwood floors.

I have been using this vacuum for almost a month now. It took a few tries to get a hang of it. I had a shark navigator that lasted for 9 years but the hose ripped off in a few places so it was time to change it. It somewhat light, it gets a bit tiring on the hand after a 10-15 min of use due its weight being where the handle is. It is super easy to maneuver around, has pretty good suction. I live in 2 br apartment and the cord length allows me to plug it in only once in the middle of all rooms in a hallway and not unplug until done. It has a dust attachment, small crevice tool and small tube with tiny brush for car detailing I guess. I don't like that ther is no place to keep all the attachments together and attached to the vacuum. I have to go back and forth to get needed attachment. Also the cord is just loosely hanging around and ther is really no way to keep it on the vacuum once you start using it. Overall, I'm satisfied with the product. Let's hope it will last long enough.

Let me start by saying I love this vacuum and am very pleased with it; would definitely recommend! It is lightweight and has great cleaning power, transitions from carpet to laminate beautifully. It is by far the easiest emptying vac I have ever used. The double roll design was the seller and I am quite happy with my choice. That said, there are a couple of design flaws that could stand to be improved. It is necessarily top heavy, which in itself is not an issue, per se, more a minor inconvenience if you need to pause vacuuming briefly - it will not stand up on its own. There is a hook that rests the heavy top motor portion on the bottom for storage. The biggest issue is the cord management in storing. Regardless of whether you wrap the cord before or after separating, you will short yourself one way or another. Design engineers should strongly consider a cordless or retractable cord for future models.

I love my new Shark - APEX DuoClean Bagless Pet Handheld/Stick Vacuum!!! So does my mother and my boyfriend's 8 year old son! I've never seen an 8 year old so eager to vacuum, let alone an 8 year old boy :-D The vacuum is so lightweight and leaves all our carpet and hardwood floors looking brand new. I watched as the 8yr old vacuumed one of our bathrooms. I could see the vacuums path of shiney clean hardwood versus other areas that hadn't been vacuumed yet, I was pleasantly surprised! It's one thing to see the vacuums performance on a commercial and another to see it in our home with my own eyes! Thank you Shark for making such an awesome, easy to use vacuum!!! So easy an 8yr old cam use it efficiently and thoroughly!

Light, easy to use. Fits into small spaces. Good suction and beater brush. Could be made of more durable materials, but that would increase weight and price.

You'll love this vacuum for its functionality and effectiveness. If you haven't been using a vacuum that has lights, you don't know what you're missing on your floors. The vacuum self-propels on the carpet setting and it really cleans deep. The brush roller cleans wood and tile floors well (we have a lab and two cats). It's really easy to transition to the wand to clean the stairs, under furniture, high places, etc. It swivels! This is so cool because you can get into tight places and around corners. I highly recommend this vacuum.

I've used this vacuum for about 5 months and love it! It's super light weight so I can literally vacuum with either hand. I have a Dyson Animal canister vac that I no longer use as it's way to heavy and I'd spend a good 15 minutes cleaning my golden retriever's hair out of the brush bar. There is never any hair stuck in the brush bar - it all ends up where it should! This vacuum is super easy to switch from floor to using the attachments when cleaning. I keep the accessories in a Lulu bag to keep them together.

Really wanted a cordless one, however after reviewing all of the vacuums and watching a lot of videos on the perfect vacuums for tile and pets I picked this one up, the fact that this is corded doesn't bother me at all, it is amazing at picking up even the most minute dust particles! The only negative thing is the storage, I wish that it had a wall mount or at least be able to store it upright without having to break it down in order to store.

It has a long cord, is easy to maneuver, easy to unclog and very powerful for such a small cleaner.

Got this for my wife. She really likes it. She says it is easy to use, it sucks, and it gets the floor clean.

So much lighter and easier to use than my old heavy upright ! Great suction and manuverability

i purchased this shark apex duoclean pet stick vacuum a year ago. this vacuum is one of the lightest weight vacuums i have ever used. it cleans rugs and bare floors for all kind. i also use it to clean my furniture upholstery it has a powerful suction. it is easy to empty dust canister and easy to use attachments. it still works and cleans today a year later as it did when i first bought it.

I was looking for a cheaper replacement for my Dyson stick. It is not at all like a Dyson stick, but I love it anyway. It collects dirt so close to the wall...it has the suction of my big Dyson, but its much smaller. Fantastic for pet hair and on stairs. It has some great attachments for upholstery and tiny nooks and crannies in the car. The only draw back is that it is a little heavy.

This got to be the best vacuum I ever bought. It's lightweight, bagless, and did an excellent job at cleaning both my laminate floor and carpet. I thought I have to throw away the pads in my bathroom because it look like the inside of a toilet. Run this vacuum over the pads, and I changed my mind about throwing the pads away. I am lazy, and this vacuum made me want to clean the house again. It's well design.

This does great on carpet and hardwood. Really is easy to use and lightweight.

I will never go back to a heavy canister vacuum! This is lightweight enough to vacuum the stairs, and the hose can get into small places without using the attachments. I have 3 dogs and a cat, so I really appreciate how well it picks up hair and fuzz without getting clogged. Super easy to clean, too!

Replaced a previous Shark vacuum of 5 years. This picks up dirt and dust really well with strong suction; is a lot quieter than the previous model. Hair in the roller is not as large as a problem compared to other vacuums I've owned. Pretty lightweight for a full powered stick vacuum.

I used to be so loyal to Dyson but bought this vacuum due to an employee recommendation and I’m so glad I did! You can feel the power of this small, light vacuum and best of all it doesn’t tangle my hair around the bottom like my Dyson used to! Also, the fact that you can take the top off of the system and use it as a handheld is amazing! It makes cleaning so convenient!
