    Awesome. Love it, recommend it. If I were to pass along anything to a perspective buyer, understand it's about 16-17lbs., which is heavier than normal, but a sign of the strong motor (great suction). You can carry the canister (without the rotating head), but the roller is so strong without the weight of the canister, it can be a little unwieldy. Still a 5 out of 5 for me. Love it.

    BY FAR THE BEST

    This is BY FAR the best vacuum we have ever owned, and we've had them all. The suction is unbeatable, and might I say almost too powerful at times! You know those car wash vacuums that are so powerful they're almost hard to manage? That's what I would compare the suction power of this vacuum to. It's a little on the heavier side, but for the suction power it's worth it in my opinion. Good long cord too!

    I am very pleased with the suction power and versatility and features of this machine. The amount of dirt, debris, and pet hair that I vacuumed up in rooms that I thought were previously clean was incredible. I like the versatility of the machine. The powered brush roll. Accessory works very well; is very powerful. The machine does tip easily when the wand and hose are removed, that will take some getting used to. make sure to have the setting on area rugs when doing throw rugs. The cord is a bit thick and heavy as others have mentioned. It does get stuck on itself. I would prefer it to be more flexible and lighter. I am very pleased with how well it goes from carpeting to flooring. This is one of the best machines I’ve ever used at cleaning tile and hardwood floors. I do wish the hose was a bit longer and more flexible as well. Overall, I highly recommend this vacuum cleaner.

    Like all my other shark vacuums before this one is amazing. Great on both carpet and hard floors, great Suction power, the power cord has plenty of length. I love this vacuum. I owned a previous version about 5 years ago. It’s still running as good as normal. I still have it. I use it downstairs in our finished basement and laundry room areas.

    This vacuum is incredible. We have a full house of animals, including four dogs and four cats. We have also depended on Shark products and this does not disappoint. Our last Shark was the pet lift away and I loved it. This one’s suction blows it out of the water. I also love the detection capabilities for my different types of carpets and floors. The base and the tool both light up now so it’s even easier to see what you’re vacuuming up.

    Very well built vacuum. A little heavy but very easy to maneuver. Great edge cleaning and extremely good suction. Transitions seamlessly from hard wood to the rugs. Would definitely recommend.

    I was uncertain on the brand. I previously owned a Dyson big ball standup, which i have had for many years. Dyson no longer had the replacement parts available so I started researching a replacement using the sites like consumer reports and popular mechanics etc.. Shark products were at the top. I now see why. It is an incredible machine that can handle a miriade of surfaces. I highly recommend it.

    Very powerful suction. I just vacuumed and went over it again with the new one and was amazed to see how much still was picked up. The different areas that have a light are a nice touch. I really appreciate the light on the hose. It helps while doing the stairs.

    My Dyson Pet broke and I got this as a replacement. It is great. I wish there was a longer extension for cleaning up high or behind furniture, but other than that it is very powerful and gets the pet hair way better than the Dyson Pet.

    A solid Vacuum. It really sucks too. We had a Dyson roller ball pet and opted to try this one out instead. So far there’s been no hair wrap as advertised which nice with two girls and a dog in the house. My only knock would be that it comes with three tool attachments but only has room to hold two of them. The other would be that because it has such a strong sucking power that when using the wand extension sometimes the vacuum falls over because the hose accordions shorter yanking the vacuum base. Not a big deal so no lose of a star.

    the best vacuum i have owned in years, after trying multiple vacuums this one is the best by far. I read so many reviews to try and find something that would work well and i finally found it. I vacuumed a rug in our house three times the day of buying this once with our old vacuum, once with another we were trying out, and finally a third time with this. The canister was full of dog hair and some sand. I was beyond impressed with its abilities. My only complaint is we have small lightweight rugs around for our senior dog and it will not vacuum them they get bound up, maybe theres a way around this but i havent found it yet.

    This item was such a welcome upgrade from my old vacuum cleaner. With a sleek look and great maneuverability, this is a joy to use. The power that it provides makes it usable on any surface. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a new vacuum cleaner.

    Great vacuum. A bit heavy and I hate cords but the cordless vacs just don't do a good enough job. I finally had it with my old cordless ($$$) and bought this as the reviews were amazing. They weren't wrong. This thing sucks in a great way. I am amazed at how well it cleans and I love the light on the vacuum head so you can see all the dirt you used to miss. Highly recommend.

    My husband and I love this vacuum cleaner it’s so easy to use and when we first used it we couldn’t believe how much it picked up that was left by the old vacuum. It’s very easy to move around and so easy to empty. Best vacuum we’ve ever owned!

    Plenty of suction power. It seems to pick up everything and seamlessly goes from hardwood to carpet with the "Detect" Technology. A little on the heavy side is the only thing especially if you are hauling it up stairs.

    Impressive. We are replacing a 20 year old Dyson. In researching, it seems like everyone agrees the Shark PowerDetect is the superior vacuum tech currently. This thing lives up to the hype. Changes suction depending on surface and direction, and picks up way more dirt than our old Dyson. Only two downsides so far- the suction is so powerful that it lifts area rugs, so you need to use the hand attachment; and the canister doesn't hold as much as our old Dyson so you need to empty frequently. That's it. Otherwise this is a five star product and the value is there for the price.
