Customer Ratings & Reviews

We wanted a lightweight vacuum so our kids could help vacuum their own rooms. Unfortunately, we ordered this from the internet without testing it in person. It tips very, very easily. I barely touched it, it tipped. I tried using the attachments, it tipped. I stopped vacuuming to put it away, it tipped over. Drove me insane, so I returned it. I tried several other lightweight vacuums at the store, and this was the only one that tipped with a finger weight touch. If tipping easily doesn't bother you, the vacuum isn't so bad. The suction was good. Emptying the canister was annoying, and bits of fluff was stuck in it and wouldn't come out. Not a problem we had with our previous vacuum, but I could live with that if it didn't tip so easily.

Works great! I can't believe how much more it picks up than my Eureka did. I love not having to but bags anymore. When I vacuum almost no dust goes airborne...it all ends up inside. Feels a little cheap at times in your hands, but it's performance is awesome.

I bought this vacuum on the christmas sale at a good price. My wife had seen it on a reveiw on tv and wanted it because the old hover was about 15 yrs. old and not working to well. It seems to work real well, and my wife loves it. There is one draw back to it and that is it is top heavy. It does not set up right by is self very well. My wife had it up right and went to wind up the cord and fell over and the handle hit her in the face and broke her glasses. But other than that it good.

I go through vacuums at least every 2 to 3 years. I have owned Dysons, Eureka, Bissels, and Pannasonic Vacuums. I am the type of person who vacuums her vacuums with a back-up vacuum and blows out the dust etc... Yes, I rather have a Dyson but being a single mom of 4 kids and a full time college student my budget can't allow me to spend a lot. They let me test this vacuum and it was great. So in the mean time this vacuum will do.

This vacuum is wonderful! I had to replace my other bag less -that stopped suction- and this one is wonderful! I'm soooo glad for this vacuum. I do have a touch of OCD and it satisfies my cleaning madness...lol

I feel this is a good vacuum for the price. Good suction. I like that the motor is quieter than my old canister vacuum, however, the cord isn't nearly long enough. I had to plug & unplug numerous times compared to only once or twice with my old vacuum. It doesn't get under furniture & even using the attachment, with the way the handle & all is made it still bangs into the furniture. Given the choice I would go back to a canister vacuum. I just feel its much easier to switch attachments & I'm only holding the hose, not having to hold up the whole vacuum. If you're used to a canister vacuum, you'd probably want to stick with one. I wish I had shopped more & gotten another canister vacuum.

Just got mine today and its totally unbelievable!! From the moment i turned it on it started picking up hair and dirt that my old Royal kept missing. I have two cats one being white, the main reason i bought this little gem! If your in the market for a new sweeper or just wanna upgrade the SHARK is the way to go!!!

I am happy with the suction power of this vacuum. I was happy to find one that has the hose that disconnects to be used with tools. It is also good that it has zero maintenance cost. Overall, I am very happy with the vacuum.

I would suggest this vacuum to anyone who thinks that paying a higher price makes for a better vacuum cleaner. You get all the gadgets the others talk about along with the suction to boot. It is an all around good buy.

i just purchased this vacuum i was replacing a hoover that i have had for about 10 years i tried it for the first time today and i can't believe the suction it has on the carpet setting i vacuum once a week so when i finished vacuuming i could not believe how much the shark picked up i had to empty the canister before i did my floors i'm so glad i bought this vacuum i'm 72 and this vacuum is so easy to push i love it and highly recommend it

Love this vac already had it about a month. Real good picking up pet hair. Very easy to empty.

I'm coming from an 8 year Dyson owner, but the plastic finally gave and I had to buy a new vacuum. So I went w/ the Shark, w/ the advise of a sales rep. I used it once, and had to return it! I LOVED the suction and the self propel feeling of the vacuum. I have 2 German Shepherds, that shed all the time, so it picked up the dog hair great. I had to dump the canister a lot, b/c it's pretty small and had to unplug it a lot to find a closer plug. But the HEPA filter snap on cover on the front kept FLYING off and would hit the wall or furniture and the cord is WAY to short. I wasn't real happy w/ the neck/attachment to the vacuum stand (Not really sturdy#, but I guess that's why most vacuums have the lift away systems #My old Dyson didn't). So had to return it and now I'm using the Hoover Pro3.

Very easy to use lightweight vacuum. Swivel steering is a plus. Easy to switch from carpet to hardwood or tile.

Highly Recommend! Easy to maneuver & lightweight. Works great on carpet & hardwood floors. Was easy to disconnect and vacuum stairs. *I must say...I was amazed as what I found in the "bag"....Apparently my old vacuum was not doing its job (*.*) So far....So Good...

I read the reviews and decided when I had to replace our vacuum cleaner for the 3rd time, we'd try a shark. I'm so glad we did. It picks up dust, dirt, pet hair and anything else you vacuum over. I've had expensive "pet" vacuum cleaners that didn't work this well. The only not so positive thing I can say, because it's lightweight, when you're using the tools, it can tip over - but with the power it has, I'm not complaining!

I was tired of purchasing vacuum cleaners that lost suction after a year of use. I finally found a reliable vacuum! Great buy!

I sell appliances at best buy and I can tell you that everything Shark is amazing! I recommend it to everyone because I have it and I know that it works great! I've had my Shark vacuum for over 5 years and it still works as good as when I bought it. I will always buy Shark.

Worth the money. Great product and cheaper than a dyson!

Love it. Much more reasonble than the Dyson I ws looking at.

Reading the reviews I thought I was going to just love this vacuum cleaner. I dashed home today and vacuumed my new carpet (it's thick, 59 oz., but not particularly tall) and I could hardly push this vacuum cleaner even with adjusting it wide open, as far as it would go. When vacuuming my Oriental rugs, trying to get the dog hair up, it took several passes for it to get it all. It did great on the marble and cork flooring. If I exchange it for the self propelled then I give up the lift away feature which would be great for stairs or cleaning the car. I may go to the Hoover made for pet hair,,, but for sure I'm returning back breaking vacuum!!
