Customer Ratings & Reviews

vaccum release did not open into the bin as advertised; Best Buy staff were helpful in ordering a new product to see if it was an isolated issue. Latches for various attachments can sometimes be difficult to release/change.

I was browsing and took my time looking at a lot of vaccums. I tried to settle for the best. I have a dog that's been shedding a lot, and I can say this was worth the money.

Absolutely worth every penny didn’t come with the charger. Good thing I had another shark it was compatible with.

Suction power is less compared to other corded vacuums and even charging life is not that great.

I think it’s a good product specially if you have dogs

Good vacumm, convenient features, does as advertised.

Exceptional Easy on our wood floors Smooth Rider Self cleaning Easy steering

Better than expected Did have a little difficulty with the arm attachment to release to bend to use that feature but once we figures it out no issues

Great product, just make sure to purchase the extended warranty since this is a tool which will be used everyday.

i like shark power vacuum clean best easy to empty

Too Bulky and Heavy for me. Was looking for a more lightweight cordless vac. It works fine, however, if you use full suction it only operates for 15 minutes maximum. Would have preferred something lighter and less expensive.

I have bought this vaccum and i am really pleased it works great on carpet and on wood floors.

Very happy with this vacuum, the self cleaning is super nice and it is very smooth to opperate

Great cordless vacuum, we like it better than our other “big brand name”. Seems to have better suction.

Love this vacuum cleaner-especially the automatic cleaner.

Great , love the stand , very versatile. Only reason didn’t give it 5 stars is its power, feel it could be a bit better.

I wanted to love it as I love my Shark upright but it just doesn't have the same power to clean. It clogs all the time, doesn't fully empty and generally is just ok. I will go back to my shark upright once it is fixed.

Due to a medical issue a couple of days before I received my Shark - PowerDetect™ Clean & Empty Cordless Stick Vacuum & Auto-Empty System with Powerful Suction, a friend came over to help me clean, so she was the first to use it. As she does it for a living, I asked if she’d tell me what she thinks of it, so you are getting two points of view in this review. She was pleasantly surprised at how well it was packaged. The setup instructions were super easy to use and understand and she had it together in minutes. Once she opened it, she plugged in the cradle station and let it charge for a good 4 hours while she went about cleaning other things. We both found it super easy to use the power button on the control panel, and above that is an easy-to-read battery indicator light. Upon starting and using this thing it has an amazing sucking power. She did use it on carpet and on hardwood floors as I have both. She was able to get in around and under things that haven't been thoroughly cleaned in a while due to my physical limitations (and I’ve never been great at vacuuming anyway). She was able to get leaves that were embedded in the carpets which appeared to be mulched as I didn’t notice any when she showed me the tank as she was excited about picking up leaves. This machine was able to get super close to the walls, again cleaning a hard-to-clean place for me. It has handy little lights on the front for finding and detecting more dirt. This Shark has a self-propelled swivel steering head. It moves forward well and speeds up when necessary. Backward was a little more difficult for her as it was resistant as if it didn't want to go in the direction indicated. Moving forward was easy, but the backwards vacuuming was a little wonky for her. I did not find that to be an issue, but I also haven’t used it as long continuously as she did. The battery life on this is about 2 hours straight as she, bless her heart, vacuumed every room, including the pet’s favorites and kids’ bedrooms. She wanted to make sure she got everything she could while she had the excuse. And it worked fantastic. For the amount of area covered, the storage tank held everything beautifully. The vacuum was easy to get back into its holding cradle and emptied itself. This went much quieter than expected. The attachments went on and off smoothly. The only Cons we both have is that for a person around 5 feet tall (my size) or shorter, this was a tall product. Also, the weight of the top portion with the dirt canister and the battery was a little heavy, particularly as short as I am, though age and physical conditioning could also be a factor. While my friend felt the weight, it didn’t bother her, but she gave me a heads-up before I used it. Overall, we both think this is a great machine.

A very nice vacuum for the money. very good quality.

This vaccum is awsome...we have had every shark..it is the best to date.
