Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have had many vacuums throughout the years, but this one is by far the best one I have ever had. Suction is amazing and it is quiet. The only drawback is that it is heavier than my previous ones. This is fine as it is the best in cleaning.

This is my review of the Shark POWERDETECT® Upright Vacuum with DuoClean Detect™ Technology upon which I rate at 5 out of 5 stars. Out of the box, the device comes with the following attachments: duster crevice tool, pet multi-tool, and a pet power brush. All these attachments fit onboard the vacuum body except the pet power brush. The device will need some simple assembly per the owner's guide which I will not go into here. The final item to add to the device is the new odor neutralizer technology dial. In brief, this is an oder control unit that dispenses its liquid within the device to eliminate odors. This device has some great operating settings which include: Select Detect Mode - device will detect the type of floor surface (hard vs. carpet) along with wall edges and corners and adjust its motors accordingly. Manual Surface Modes - Hard Floor, Carpet/Low Pile, and Thick Carpet/High Pile. I personally like to keep the device in manual mode giving the device to perform at its maximum ability for the surface to be cleaned. This device has some great cleaning technologies which include: FloorDetect adjusts brush roll speed and suction power, DirtDetect increases the suction power when more dirt is detected in a specific area, and EdgeDetect maximizes suction power along edges and corners when the device detects these instances. For anyone not familiar with the Shark Powered Lift-Away, you will have the ability to detatch to the upright canister from the device to allow you to move the device head wtih ease around and under furniture. You also to ability to remove the wand from the device to clean hard to reach areas both hight and low. The one feature I especially like is the self-cleaning brush roll. This feature comes into play having pets or people with long hair. The device is able to clean its brush roll eliminating the need to manually detangle and cut hair from the brush roll. This device performed magnificently in my home and highly recommend it. I hope you enjoyed reading my review and it helped in your purchase decision.

This is a pretty great vacuum. Pros: *Great suction, it got super deep down. *Easy to maneuver (but it is heavy) *I have always LOVED the headlights on a Shark *lots of accessories *The carpet feels very clean after *Nice long cord *GIANT dirt canister Cons: *a bit too sensitive to shut down if it feels the brushroll is stuck *not the best on thin rugs *heavy *Very expensive

I was very hesitant at spending this much on a vacuum at first but wow I’m so glad I did. I’ve never owned a vacuum with this level of suction and ease. I have an almost 3 and 1 year old. Naturally a mess and crumb trail follow them wherever they go, this vacuum one pass gets all of it. Works really well on our shaggy area rug, hard wood, and short carpet areas as well as furniture.

GREAT VACUUM DOES EXCELLENT JOB ON SUCTION, KINDA HIGH PRICED, IT IS LITTLE HEAVY TO PUSH , BUT IT SEEMS LIKE WHEN U PUSH IT. IT TAKES OFF, THATS A HELP. WISH IT WAS SELF PROPELLED LIKE THE KENMORES VACUM AT SEARS LONG TIME AGO FOR THAT KIND OF MONEY IT SHOUKD BE SELF PROPELLED..IT DOES GREAT JOB VACUMING , HAD IT 3 MTHS GONFAR

Vacuum is little on the heavy side but glides across carpet and bare floors with extreme ease. It has picked up dirt that we didn’t know was there and we have bare floors in 90% of our home. And with 3 GSDs, it never clogs with their hair

A great vacuum that performs as advertised. Pet hair and long human hair have not clogged it, or even wrapped around the rollers. It picks up lots of dirt a Dyson left behind.

The suction is more powerful than any other vacuum cleaners I've used. I love how it collects a large amount of dust before it needs emptied. It comes with 3 attachments, which work great. Con: it would be nice to have an automatic cord winder.

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.

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.

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!

this has tremendous vaccum power! the floor-type sensor works really well in transtioning between hard and carpet floors. bought this because it was top rated vac on consumer reports. festure i didnt realize i wanted and was a surprise is if you leave it on and step away it powers down a bit so its not so loud when idling. not crazy about the capret perfume odor that comes with it and it is heavy-ish.

Amazing! This sweeper is so crazy powerful. We have three dogs, and all of them are shedders. The power is incredible and you definitely cannot tell we have so many dogs after using this. Got it for $350 on a Black Friday deal and I feel like this is worth at least double!

I love it, it’s a little heavy but maneuverable. I replaced a Dyson animal with this and got a little pushback from Housekeepers; today they said it has really strong suction. I’m thinking that’s a good thing, they’ll get use to it.

Love the suction in this vacuum, it is easy to Maneuver but is a heavy push. I would still recommend it.

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 is not a small vacuum cleaner, nor is it particularly light. When set on automatic floor sensor, the motor seems to slow and then increase speed, almost randomly. Because we've only used the vacuum a couple of times, I don't think it's a result of the sensors being dirty. I would not recommend this vacuum if you own pets that shed or track dirt into your house. The canister supposed holds about 1/2 gallon, but when pet hair is involved, it fills quite quickly. The hose is not very long. You have to partially disassemble the vacuum and then carry the canister around when you're cleaning stairs or anything that requirers more the few feet of hose. One positive is that the canister is easy to empty and does not require a lot of shaking, unlike the Dyson Pet Ball.

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.

powerful suck. works great. Wasn't a fan of Shark's earlier products but it seems they've upped their game
