Wonderful cordless vacuum!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very impressed with this version of Shark. We have had two previous ones but this one is far superior in all qualities. Much better suction and cleaning power as well as how long the battery lasts… twice as long as previous ones. The auto adjustment for power based on what it senses is fantastic as is the self cleaning feature. It is light and easy to use. All in all a wonderful purchase. We no longer use a corded vacuum we had which we felt we needed to use periodically to catch what previous vacuums did not pick up. Great on carpet as well as tile. Only drawback is does not work well on thicker taller pile carpet

Shark does the vacuum dock right - great vacuum!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Used to use exclusively Dyson, but needed another vacuum for another part of the house. This Shark has the Dock that also allows free standing without having to mount to a wall. Vacuum is smart enough to automatically adjust suction to save battery. The way this Shark bends to get under furniture is more useful than I thought it would be. Best vacuum I’ve owned. Worth it.

Awesome Vacuum
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had an older Dyson that we thought was doing a good job. We bought this because it was cordless and easier to do stairs with. When we first used the Shark we didn't think there would be much since we just vacuumed the day before with our Dyson. Were we ever wrong! This thing is awesome! It took up so much that the Dyson left behind! The power automatically changes from hardwood to carpet too. Easy to maneuver, light weight & love the fact you just put it in the charging cradle and it automatically empties! All around great Vacuum! We got it on a sale, but it's worth the full price! 5*****

Love it
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love this vacuum. Shark products have never let me down. This light weight vac allows me pickup messes with ease and have to go get my corded Shark vac that ive had over 10 years and still has great suction by the way. I keep this one downstairs for easy access. I love the self empty feature it has and the scent tab that it comes with. The vac doesn't take up too much space which i love. I did notice that it doesnt like thick carpet but thats not too much of a big deal to me because i still have my other vac to tackle thicker carpet

Best cordless vacuum on the market
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This vacuum is a beast. I have the 1st one from 8 years ago and its still working. I use it for my basement now. But this new pro version works great. The battery last a while for me. I have 1700 sqf of carpet and hasn’t went dead yet. It picks everything up. I use it on the auto setting. And the auto empty if a fantastic feature. This thing is hassle free. It is a little bit pricey but if you want a good vac you have to pay for it. Blows dyson away. I also have a corded shark for upstairs which is also a beast. But its pretty heavy. If you can afford this vacuume then you wont regret it.

Great Cordless Vacuum
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This cordless vacuum is the best I've ever used. Does a tremendous job and is extremely easy to use. The suction is so powerful that it can be a little difficult to push over carpets, but it deep cleans like no other. The only con is the battery only lasts about 20 minutes. I recommend buying spare batteries to combat this.

Excellent
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have had this unit for about a month now, hands down the best cordless vac ive ever had. I have a medium hair shepard who sheds heavy, this vac handles hair no problem. I have mainly hardwood with throw rug carpets here and there the transition is smooth. I prefer to run it on eco mode, and the self cleaning brush head works as advertised. Not having to dump it manually after every use is awesome initself. For the price, i think its fair for how well it outperforms the cheaper vacs ive had in the past. Overall great vac, good job Shark.

Excellent vacuum
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I never thought I’d brag about a vacuum, but here we are. This Shark PowerDetect has turned my floors from ‘don’t look too close’ to ‘you could eat off that’ in one charge. It glides from rugs to hard floors like it’s on a mission and the suction is so strong it’s basically judging my life choices with how much dirt it finds. The auto-empty base is the real MVP no dust clouds in my face and I don’t have to empty it every five minutes. If you secretly enjoy clean floors but hate actually cleaning, this is your new best friend.

Lots to Love with This One
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Shark - PowerDetect™ Clean & Empty Cordless Stick Vacuum & Auto Empty system is a dream come true for those of us that have multiple pets, in my case 3 dogs, that shed like crazy. For years, I have been looking at all types and kinds of vacuum reviews by people with pets and what their recommendations are. Oftentimes, they identify something, but many vacuum their floors numerous times each and every day. So, what does that tell you is the most important thing-it has to be simple, effective, and an easy process for the vacuum user. The system that I saw most highly rated was this one and I had decided to wait for the upcoming seasonal sales to see if Shark would be discounting it, all these goodies do come at a cost. It was fate that shortly after I had made this decision, this item came up for request in the Tech Insiders Network, but all the units had been taken by the time that I saw it. However, it was fate that made me go back onto the website and see that someone must have canceled their request, so I was able to get this, I am so grateful for that. Just like anyone else, I want a tidy home, especially since I have put a lot of time, money, and energy into its decoration and furnishing. Last year we took all our carpet out and replaced it with hardwood floors. Two of the three dogs that I mentioned in the first paragraph are my husband's dogs-a straight hair Border Collie and a Belgian Malinois. During the day they are kept in a kitchen/ sunroom area. My goodness they not only shed terribly on the hardwood floors, but in their beds, on furniture, even if they are not on the furniture-it just flies everywhere. I am so glad that I get to own this machine to make my life easier. Why do I love this machine? One, with all the technology it is very easy to assemble-no problems. Two, I love that it is a self-cleaning machine. All my other vacuums have plastic collection bins that require the user to either push a button or a lever to open and then, over a trash can dispose of the inside dirt, yucky. In a couple of cases there is some sort of filter that is in the bin, and it falls out into the trash, to which I need to then fish it out of the trash or get my hands dirty extracting some of the contents that do not automatically fall out of the bin, yucky again. In any case all the dust is going into the air and with self-cleaning it is self-contained. Three, tis battery charges on the base, the base also has two bump ups that you can attach 2 of the 3 accessories, and there is another free-standing plate with a bump up that you can put the 3rd accessory on. Third, the length from motor to floor cleaner is jointed and allow the user to bend the bar and be able to easily in a low profile vacuum under a table, a chair, etc. Fourth, the floor cleaner has a no hair tangle technology and it picks up dirt as it is coming and going, making for a more efficient way to pick up dirt. There is also a great side detect and pick up when vacuuming up against your floor base boards, the base of your kitchen cabinetry, or furniture. Also, there is a lever on the motor that allows the 3 different power levels- power-detect, full, or eco. Power detect will figure out how much dirt is on the floor and the floor type to determine how much oompf is needed to pick it up. That power requirement will also make determine the motor loudness-less or more. I am very happy that I got this vacuum for my floor, upholstery, stair, up and down cleaning.

Hreat vacuum!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really like this vacuum. First stick vacuum ever had. I guess vacuums have really been updated since the traditional old ones. Detects where the dirt is, automatically adjust from bare floors.to rugs or carpets, and increases suction along baseboards. Also empties into bin attached to charging station. Brilliant! I like it alot. Only caveat is - will it withstand the test of time. My previus Shark ( a more conventional upright ) lasted over 10 years, so hopefully it will.

Highly recommended
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Shark PowerDetect Cordless Stick Vacuum is an exceptional cleaning tool that has transformed my approach to household cleaning. Its powerful suction ensures thorough cleaning across various surfaces, from hardwood floors to carpets, effortlessly picking up dirt, debris, and pet hair. The HEPA filtration system is a standout feature, as it effectively traps allergens, making it a great choice for households with allergy sufferers. The cordless design provides unparalleled convenience, allowing me to clean without being tethered to an outlet. The Auto-Empty System is a game-changer, saving time and reducing contact with dust and debris. Additionally, the PowerDetect technology automatically adjusts suction power based on the cleaning surface, optimizing both performance and battery life. One minor issue is the dustbin size, which fills up relatively quickly, especially in larger households or after deep cleaning sessions. However, this is mitigated by the Auto-Empty System, which makes emptying the bin hassle-free. Overall, the Shark PowerDetect Cordless Stick Vacuum is a highly efficient and user-friendly vacuum that delivers outstanding results. It’s a worthy investment for anyone seeking a versatile and powerful cleaning solution. Highly recommended!

Go cordless.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My shopping experience was amazing at the store. I went in looking for this vacuum and took it home that afternoon. It was a bit of a strange high pitch noise compared to my corded shark that just broke, but then I heard my next door neighbor vacuuming and it sounded the same. I enjoy the auto empty. I thought for the size of the container it would be full by now but I’ve emptied into it many times over a month and it’s still not full which really has been worth not having to empty 3-4 times. The container just on the vacuum was much larger too. I can now get through my whole 872 sq foot apartment in one pass and just put it on the auto dump charger when I’m done, where I had to unplug at least 2 times and get dusty emptying into the trash with my old shark. I also enjoy the suction happening forward and backwards. Haven’t seen another do that. I enjoy the auto floor detection too. My floors seem cleaner, but only because the dirt detector makes me think that. Probably just as good as the 13 year old one but it’s definitely more convenient. Love having a cordless vacuum!

Nice strong machine
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice, it's a little heavier then my old one and a bit louder. But it seems to be sucking up dirt a lot better too. I do wish it came with a small motorized head for stairs. Using the large one seems a little clunky to me. I'm used to my old vac. All in all we like it a lot so far.

Superb Vacuum
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely awesome piece of technology. Incredibly convenient and has great power for its size. I was hesitant to buy a cordless vacuum over concerns that it would lack cleaning power, but that is not an issue with this. The dock that it comes with is super convenient, clears out the vacuum's chamber and charges the vac. Overall wonderful product.

Great power for a small size !
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Shark vacuum has incredible suction for a cordless model. The PowerDetect technology is very responsive, picking up debris I didn't even see. The self-emptying feature is the best part, saving me from constantly dumping the dustbin. Highly recommend for a busy household!

Good not great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works great but a little loud. Sometimes the transition from one surface to another is a little too strong and can pull throw rugs into the beater. The wheels also make noise if you move it to fast. Overall it out performs our old shark but the weight and noise levels are somewhat disappointing.
