Second Dyson buying very happy to have it I recommend

The main complaint we have with this vacuum after about a year of use is that it stays clogged constantly. We have a lab that sheds short hair a ton, hence why we bought the “pet plus”. The bendable hose on the main vacuum attachment must have a major design flaw. I wholly disagree with it being a vacuum design for pet households.

1. Does not pick up kitty litter and hard food bits unless in high power mode. Higher power mode decreases battery life. Expect up to 15 minutes of battery life if you actually use it to clean up after your pets. 40 minutes is an absolutely disingenuous claim. 2. Supposed to be "total allergen seal", except the hose connections have terrible dust on the outside meaning it leaks (see pic). Paid $50 extra for that "feature". 3. High power mode is activated via trigger mechanism which means you need to hold the trigger the whole time you clean. 4. Did an ok job in high power mode on hard floors and low pile rugs. Picked up short hair ok on normal power mode. 5. Will replace sweeping, but don't expect it to replace a more powerful vacuum cleaner. 6. Label stickers are not easy release, so purchase a bottle of goo-gone if you want your vacuum to look nice (see pic). 7. Overall, disappointing product. Losing most stars for points 1 and 2.

We have always been a Shark family. Normally, we are more than happy with their products since we are a family with small children and animals. This is by far the most disappointing product we have owned. I have spent more time cleaning the hair out of the little wheels than I've actually ran it. Not a good vacuum for GSD owners. Hair gets caught behind the brushless roll and it will not come out. Maybe it's great for those who kids are super tidy and their animals never shed but definitely not for a house of multiples. Not super impressed with it's suction either, I'm going over areas multiple times just minutes after vacuuming. We have all hard flooring very little carpet and I wont be even trying it out on those areas!

Gets so much dust. great vacuum. The light shows alot of stuff you wouldn't be able to tell is there.

I have a German Shepard who sheds like crazy and this worked like a charm on both my hardwood and my carpet and it made cleaning up that much easier

I got this because it calls itself "pet plus". I have two dogs that shed like crazy. This thing vacuums OK but it gets dog hair stuck in it's wheels so you end up dragging strands of dog hair. If I had not thrown away the box I would return it.

Used to have Dyson but I wanted to buy cheaper vacuum that looks like Dyson & cheaper. Opened it, tried it once and will return it. Product material, weight & speed/power. Going bck to Dyson! Thanks for Black Friday

What a great cordless stick vac! Comes with accessories and stores easily,.

Literally awful for pet hair. It pushes around the pet hair instead of sucking it up. The fancy light just shows me how well it’s doing at NOT picking up hairs. If you’re looking to pick up rice or crushed cereal this is great but for pet hair from a large dog like husky or chocolate labs like mine keep looking. It’s called a pet plus but it’s honestly not good for large dogs or breeds that shed fur. You can see from my photos it’s just pushing this dog hair around the house without ever suctioning it up.

This vacuum has the best suction cleans well better than my Dyson that I only had for two years and it doesn’t even clean as good

Its not for a big job. It is top heavy and awkward to maneuver.

I bought this vacuum for my Mother on Christmas. I was skeptical buying a cordless vacuum but I figured it was lightweight so I gave it a try. What a joke, this thing won’t pick up cat food off hard floors. It pushes debris into piles instead of sucking them up. And that’s with a fresh charged battery. On carpet it just balls up the lint and leaves little lint balls all over. I really don’t know what it’s good for. Maybe cobwebs?

I chose this as a second vacuum to use upstairs to avoid having to lug the heavy full-sized vacuum up thee stairs. It will see infrequent use but still needs to be powerful. I was especially interested in seeing if the battery life was sufficient and whether the "paddles" actually kept hair from getting caught in the roller. The vacuum is extremely lightweight, easy to maneuver. The lower portion is very compact due to the small size of the roller, which allows it to be pushed well under furniture (see photo) - I can't do this with any other vacuum. To check the performance, I ran the vacuum over an area that had been recently cleaned using a full-sized machine and I was surprised to see how much dust it had picked up. The battery performance was fine. It did not run out in the time that I cleaned the entire second story. I checked the roller and nothing got rolled up into the roller brush. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with the performance of such a small, lightweight machine.

O.K., so, we have a variety of animals and we love them all! We have a cat, a dog (hound/beagle mix) that sheds like crazy, a few rats, a Black Mexican Kingsnake and coming this week, a Bearded Dragon! So, needless to say, we needed a good stick vacuum that's designed for pets, specifically. It sure beats pulling out the full-sized vacuum when you just need to quickly vacuum something simple, like some substrate spilling onto the floor during cleaning, stray treats and such, lol. Enter this Shark vacuum. Now, I am a huge fan of Shark/Ninja products, but I will still review honestly, as I have had some Shark/Ninja stuff that have just been "duds" in the past. However, I love their Hot/Cold Coffee Brewing System, as well as their cooking products, such as the Foodi line (grill, pressure cookers, etc). I will say that this vacuum, pun intended, sucks in all the best ways. Unboxing is pretty standard fare for a vacuum and you do feel that you get your money's worth. Inside is the vacuum itself, several attachments for it and the instruction manual. Now, Shark/Ninja branded items are notorious for putting shipment protection stickers all over the product. Which I don't mind, as they do tend to remove easily with no residue. This is the first Shark/Ninja product I've gotten that I've had problems in this department. All of the stickers and tape, etc, came off great and left nothing behind. But there was this one notorious one on the stick part of the vacuum, closer to the bottom where it attaches to the base. It was a yellow sticker and it just peeled off in pieces and left a ton of gunk. I had to take the Goo-Gone to it. Luckily, it removed everything and didn't eat away at the paint, so that's a plus. I also wanted to comment on the color. It's really nice - it's shiny and metallic looking and seems pretty durable. It was already about half charged when we unboxed it, so I was able to do a quick test vacuum, immediately. I put it on charge and it was done pretty quickly. I really wasn't paying attention, as I've had a lot going on this past week, but if I had to guess, it was fully charged within 45 minutes or so. It does have a 40 minute run-time, according to the packaging. With all of my use of it this week, that seems to be about on par. I've used it on both carpet and regular flooring and both settings work fantastic. I was impressed with the floor/no carpet mode as with most vacuums, on a bare floor, it just scatters the dust around. Not this guy. It pulls it right in. I even vacuumed my Gaming/Media room over the weekend and it pulled everything out of the normally problematic areas I have in there. And what it didn't, the stick attachments too care of super easily. I love the Rubber parts of the underbrush, as this works great in pulling up hard to get pet hair. Our dog sheds a TON and her fur is so thick and course, it tends to "weave" itself into other fabrics. This vacuum has tackled her fur with ease. I also love the trigger that ups the power temporarily, when needed. If you have a problem piece of debris that's stuck and just won't pull up, hold the trigger in and odds are pretty good that it'll grab it then. Outside of the above, I can't really think of any other cons besides the stickers. If I had to nit-pick, the only thing I can come up with is that I do wish the dirt bin was larger. I'm being honest...this thing pulls up way more dirt and stuff from the carpet than even our full-sized vacuum does....as well as more than our robot vacuum, even. But just the convenience of being able to quickly spot clean without dealing with cables is fantastic. Cleaning out the snake enclosure is super easy now, as once I get all the Aspen bedding out, the vacuum takes care of what little is left, even the dust from it. Stray rat pellets and treats or other food that's found it way to the carpet all come up great. Overall, I'm giving this vacuum a 5/5 star rating. I just hope that it holds up well, over time.

Its ok, i wish it had more suction. You have to think of where you will keep it and all of its parts. Charge could be better.

It took me months to decide which brand and then which model of vacuum I wanted to purchase. I was looking for something light weight and easy to use. Nothing bulky or cumbersome. I was weary at first about a vacuum that runs on battery power alone, but the convenience of a cordless was just too alluring and i went with this choice. My boggest complaint is pet hair and my husbands biggest complaint is my long hair! Finding one that could manage both of those was a bonus! I LOVE THIS VACUUM! It had great suctiong and a button you can pull for extra suction, if needed. Pet hair is no match for this product and it even manages to keep my long hair from getting stuck in the roller bar!! The battery lasts about 40 minutes of continuous vacuuming which is long enough to clean our two bedroom apartment. This product is also super convenient for vehicle cleaning as again, its cordless. But! It also comes apart easipy, has great attachemnts for small areas and is super lightweight as well!

I have tried a couple cordless stick vacuums before with varying levels of disappointment. Most suffered from inadequate suction / air velocity making them ineffective at picking up much. So at first, when I received this Shark I was skeptical as to what it's abilities would be. But went ahead and put it through it's paces, keeping an open mind. First, the box it was packed in was excellent, everything fitting in snugly. After pulling all the parts and accessories out of the box, putting the individual pieces together is a simple and straight forward task. All parts "snap" together, and are held with locking tab. To take apart, just hold down the lock tab and pull apart. Next charging the battery. After a couple uses and charges, I found you can expect it to take around 2 1/2 hours for full charge. Then popped in the battery and tested suction right at the power head. The power head has 2 settings for the vacuum motor, and I was quite surprised at how much suction and air velocity the unit developed. Okay, so far, so good. Snapped on the power brush and went over the entire carpet. This thing picked up pet hair, dirt, and even some cat litter I sprinkled on the carpet as a test. It really did a good job - left nothing behind. I also liked the swivel power floor brush - it allows for easy maneuvering around corners, table legs etc. As to run time, I got about 15 minutes with floor brush running. Although I didn't use it, there is a turbo mode for vacuum that will certainly shorten run times. The included tools seem well thought out and designed. I tried the small brush with great results. Also included is a crevice tool, and a flat brush for such things as blinds, on top of shelves, etc. One thing - when the power head is snapped to the wand and carpet brush, it will not stand up. You need to unsnap power head and hang on front of the wand as shown in pic. In summary, this vacuum seemed to do nearly as good as the full sized (also Shark) vacuum we use. I am impressed!

Very disappointed. I picked this vacuum due to the power fins pictured, but when I received the item, it has a regular brush head with teeny-tiny power fins and a regular brush roll. It even has the picture with the power fins on the box. I will try to rebox it and return.

I recently purchased the Shark Cordless Pet Plus Stick Vacuum from Best Buy and I am extremely happy with my purchase. The vacuum is incredibly easy to use, thanks to its lightweight design and cordless feature. I can effortlessly clean my entire home without worrying about tangled cords or being tethered to a power outlet. One of the best features of this vacuum is its remarkable silence. I read reviews talking about how loud this vacuum was and the first time I turned it on I laughed! All my previous vacuums must sound like jet engines compared to this one. Despite its shorter battery life, which is common for cordless vacuums, I found that it was still sufficient to clean my one bedroom apartment without any issues. The vacuum charges quickly, and its slim and flexible enough to quickly clean up any cereal or small crumbs my son drops. (If you have the clunky wired vacuums you know what I mean) One of the most impressive aspects of this vacuum is the amount of dust and hair it was able to pull up from my carpet. Even though I thought my carpet was clean, the Shark Cordless Pet Plus Stick Vacuum was able to reveal how much dirt and pet hair was still trapped in my carpet fibers. I was amazed at how effective the PowerFins and Self-Cleaning Brushroll were at removing even the most stubborn pet hair and debris. ( I have long curly hair and I have not had any issues so far with that.) I also appreciate the Anti-Allergen Complete Seal technology that traps dust, allergens, and pet dander inside the vacuum, preventing them from escaping back into the air. This may be the only con, and that is that this machine traps so much dust that dumping it out in the trash can sometimes make a little dust cloud so I have to be gentle when I do it so as not to spread that around. Overall, the Shark Cordless Pet Plus Stick Vacuum is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a versatile, powerful, and quiet vacuum cleaner. It has made my life so much easier, and I highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a new vacuum.
