Customer Ratings & Reviews

I wanted a lightweight vacuum that was easy to maneuver under furniture. This vacuum is heavy and very stiff when trying to turn corners or go under furniture. Donot use it as a canister because it does not move easily- too heavy to carry around as a hand vac. As an upright it does not move easily at all!!!

I COMPARED SEVERAL VACUUMS AND THIS WAS A GREAT BALANCE OF PRICE AND PERFORMANCE. LIGHT AND HIGHLY MANEUVERABLE.

Its an excellent vacuum cleaner with a lot of accessories but its a little too heavy to lift and clean.

We have a home with many animals; cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, fish, rodents and more so vacuuming is a common occurrence in our house. We liked a Eureka vacuum that was very inexpensive because it dealt with the animal issues very nicely. Biggest problem is that neither my wife nor I really care to spend time vacuuming so we are not very nice on vacuums. End result: we would get about 18-months with the Eureka before it would break to the point of disrepair. Well, Eureka changed their design and the new model did not perform as well as the old model. We decided that maybe it was time to spend more $'s and get one that would last. (save $'s and better on the environment). We tried a fiends Dyson that is comparable to this Shark. It was okay but required multiple passes when vacuuming bird seed and such around the bird cages. If you own birds you understand this issue and how often vacuuming needs to be done. For the price the Dyson wasn’t worth the hassles of the multiple passes needed. We decided to give this Shark a try since it is much less expensive than the Dyson, similar in concept, had good reviews in our research and if it didn't work on the bird seed issue we could use it elsewhere in the house. Wow, this vacuum is nice; it works great on the birdseed, is easy to use, light weight enough we both can just grab it and vacuum the stairs without hassle and seems to be of decent quality. My wife has preferred bagged vacuums due to the dust issue when emptying bagless vacuums. She liked how the Dyson bagless emptied and felt she could live with it. The shark empties just as nice as the Dyson and she has no problems with it. Our house contains pretty equal amounts of carpet, tile and wood. This vacuums work fantastic on all surfaces, including area rugs, without pushing multiple levers buttons and knobs when switching surfaces. Biggest issue is when vacuuming high pile carpet. The suction is so great it is hard to push. There is a valve on the handle you open to decrease the suction and it helps a lot, enough that it is not an issue for us but it is still a little harder to push than the Eureka was. The next issue is the limited space for the attachments. There’s no room for the power brush so you can only keep the crevice tool and small brush with the vacuum. So far that hasn’t been an issue since we’ve been able to do most everything without the power brush and those few times its been needed we just pull it out of the closet. In 12 months if this is still in good shape I’ll be getting a second one so I don’t have to keep fighting my wife for it!

If you have pets this is the vacuum to get. It's amazing how hair it will pick up. Works great on laminate floors

A good value for the price. The position of the power cord is annoying but not a big deal, I would still purchase it again.

Just purchased Shark vacuum I was skeptical works great but stair feature is just ok could be better

I love this vacuum my only disappointment is the tendency of it to fall over when using the wand.

I have always had a Dyson but hated paying so much for them. We tried a Shark and I'm pleasantly surprised.

Great vacuum, wish you could take off the base to clean the roller but other than that it’s great.

This machine does a wonderful job. A bit heavier than I thought it would be, not for a 98 pound weakling.

Great power, great machine, great warrantee.......

First off buyer beware the price is different when you look at home online as compared to sometimes when you go in the store and you look online . I was able to take a picture of it online at home and they did honor the price . vacuum is OK don’t think it worked any better than my last one that I was 6 years old,kept it anyways.

It's a wonderful vacuum except on carpet. It's very hard to push.

Nice product very good the auto shut off is great so things don’t get stuck In The brushes.

Heavier than I would like but works well. I like how easy it is to empty the dust can.

This is our second shark. Made some improvements from previous model. Very reliable

I'm very happy with this vacuum for all the great features it has. The only downside is the weight.

Is relaible, we have leas than two months with it, and all good.

Vacuum picks up dirt very effectively and leaves carpet clean. a powerhouse
