Customer Ratings & Reviews

Not a whole house vacuum. But for those of us that have pets, its great to quickly hit the kitchen and general living areas.

Light weight, but hair gets caught in rollers/small wheels. Expected vacuum designed/advertised for pet hair to not do that.Ligth

Could be more powerful but its decently light and i recommend it for the money. It is cordless!

The power switch has three positions, Off, Bare Floor for solid and area rugs, and Carpet. The rug setting spins the powerhead brush faster than the hard floor setting. The vacuum power seems the same between the two settings. There is a ‘Boost’ pull switch to get extra suction power when needed. The vacuum works really well on hard floors, short nap rugs, and surprisingly well on even deep pile rugs. Typical dust/dirt seems to get picked up just fine. But getting heavy items like cracker bits sucked up takes the Boost mode and on deeper carpets it sometimes took an extra pass or two. Emptying the dust cup is a simple and no mess task. Rinsing the pre filter and even the main filter is simple to do when needed. It works great as a hand vac on furniture or in the car and comes with a crevice and dusting tool. The light weight makes cleaning steps incredibly easy. Ever do steps with a plugged in canister or upright vac? It’s worth getting one just for stairs! Using the power head to clean floors will cut down on the 40 minute battery run time some. But I still had no problem cleaning 4 rooms, about 800 sq,ft, with some charge left. Doing a whole house may need to be broken out into two or more sessions to allow charging in between. It would be great if I could buy an extra battery, or a higher capacity battery and swap batteries easily to keep going as I do with my other cordless tools such as a drill driver, saw, and other such tools. The LED lights are a welcome feature when cleaning under furniture, but like other vacs, they could be brighter. Better than none though. Storing the vac upright on the fixed wand, like a typical upright vac requires leaning it against a wall. My son bumped it once and it slid out and went down. There is no wall mount bracket to secure it. I would recommend considering a model with the MultiFLEX Wand which will allow upright storage with the vac motor bent over. This seems like it would distribute the weight lower and closer to the center so it will stay upright safely. A cord on a vac is limiting. Having to move a piece of furniture, bending over to unplug something to plug the vacuum in, and put it back when done. And this happens repeatedly in each room. Then to have the cord get pulled out as it too often seems to be just a bit too short, get hung up, or knock something over. Frustrating, it's no wonder I put off vacuuming so much. Cordless fixes all of this. Vacuuming is now simple, immediate, and continuous. The vacuum is always ready to go as is, no more plug hunting and moving. I can clean a room, or four, quickly without stopping to move the power cord in each room. Liberating. I find I now spot clean high traffic areas and crumbs whenever I see a need now, not just one every week or so. With less dirt and grit staying on the floors getting spread out and ground in with foot traffic, the floors and rugs should last longer. The Shark IX141 does the job well, is easy to use, convenient, needs no bags, and is easy to maintain. I have not felt a need or desire to use my corded vac and may put it out at the next yard sale. While it may not be as powerful as a plug in vac, it is not a chore to use either. It’s the vac you don’t dread using, it’s the vac you will actually use, and use more often. Overall my floors are cleaner and high traffic areas are cleaned every day or two. Its priced well and Shark has many attachments available to suit your needs as well. As with other tools, cordless is a game changer. I like this vac, its design and how it works. I recommend checking it out, especially if you have stairs.

Bought it for the RV and dog hair, fast easy to use our dog has short hair so haven’t had any clogging issues. Only con is the battery life

Not reallly for carpet and the battery runs out quick maybe better luck on hard floors

Very good vacuum for being so small, it picks up pet hair and dust very well

The shark pet vacuum works well the only down side is the battery dont last very long.

This broke right at the 1 year mark as if it is designed to. While it lasted, it was ok for the price. Did small jobs well. The support experience was a mess. They sent me replacement parts in separate orders and demanded shipping fee for those separate orders. I refused to pay and they either forfeited the fee or reduced it. The replacement parts did not work. Now they want me to send back the part they sent me. Once the receive it, they will send me the new part for a shipping fee ofcourse. See a pattern? I am returning all replacement parts, recycling the remains and most likely never buying SharkNinja products again. I wasted time woth these guys for a 120$ product that still doesnt work and it is not worth it Also, this is definitely a product quality problem in addition to customer support. The replacement parts did not work and they were new.

This is an awesome vacuum for an apartment. If you have a house the battery may not survive the whole trip.

The batter life isn’t the best. The most it last is about 25 minutes. If you’re not using the max button the suction isn’t that great, but always using the max button kills the battery faster. It’s great for quick pick ups but for a deep vacuum I’ll stick to my cord vacuum.

Section on the vacuum is not as good as my other shark, but wanted an option where it was cordless. I like the fact that this vacuum comes apart for easy storage and charging makes it convenient for you to be able to take it out to the car to vacuum up small areas, but the section is not that great

Good but not great! Picks up dirt good but cannot hold up stand while charging, constantly falling to floor.

Great purchase for my son who is leaving for college.

This is the worst vacuum I've ever had. When I vaccum the floor and then move onto the area run, all the pet hair comes off the roller and forms clumps on the floor which the vacuum will not pick up. I then have to sweep with a broom to get everything up. I had to leave for vacation and when I returned, I found I missed the return date so now I'm stuck. I'm guessing it's going out in the trash.

Had trouble getting it to work after the first use. Instructions were not clear. The wand must be tilted back (push floor button), move into carpet position on the handle and then turning the power will turn on.

Excellent functionality for all surfaces. Battery performance is good, but not outstanding.

Nice to have a sweeper and not worry about the cord. I would like it better if the base floor nozzle was bigger. Easy to assemble.

Cleans and does the job just battery life is not great

Easy to use. Does a great job! Worth every penny. I appreciate this tool on my stairs.
