    Very disappointed! Purchased this vacuum upon researching and reading many reviews. I have dogs vinyl flooring and just need something to suck the dog hair up from hard floors. It seemed to gather hair along the front roller brush that I am continuously wiping. Im 5'3 and its a bit tall and akward for me to grab the handle as well.called shark as its only 38 days old they said they dont usually replace unless their is an issue with the suction. The customer service specialist advised this weird for this "top of the line product". They offered to replace the floor nozzle

    I bought this for area rugs and it over heated or something and broke in less than a year. So expensive! Money down the drain, or hose, as it may be.

    Don't waste your money. We bought this to replace an older shark (maybe 3 years old and we paid around $350), it doesn't even come close to our previous model. It feels very cheap, the pet attachment is junk. I don't know what shark was thinking or why they decided to compromise their quality. We are loyal to shark products but this one is definitely not worth it.

    I’m pretty disappointed with this vacuum and I usually love Shark products. The biggest problem is that it’s not self propelled so for an old lady like me, my shoulder was pretty sore after vacuuming. Also, my previous model had a light when I used the wand-this one doesn’t. It picks up ok, I would have returned it but I missed the return window. Now I’m stuck with it.

    I was really excited about this machine as all the reviews were great. I traveled 100 miles round trip to pick this vacuum up. When I got it home and put it together and pushed the start button it wouldn't start. Tried a different outlet, wouldn't start. Brought it back to the store, for a exchange and had the associate open the new vacuum box to make sure it would run, Nope. Same problem. Wouldn't run. No power at all. $500.00 piece of junk. Who ever is in charge of Quality control needs to be re trained. No one wants to pay this kind of money for something that won't even turn on. SHARK, are you listening?

    This vacuum would otherwise be the best one we've bought (with shedding pets and all) we've been through a lot of vacuums. Unfortunately, it randomly will not turn on or show any power whatsoever. We've tried many different outlets, cleaned it, the whole 9 yards, and nothing. A few days later, it turns on like nothing was ever wrong. This has happened twice now. Far too expensive for something you cannot use at all times.

    Initially we really enjoyed the quality of this product. Then we started to notice a burning hair smell and the lower wheels started to squeak after a month. Then the vacuum completely stopped working 61 days later (frustrating it was outside of the return policy). I would be very cautious about purchasing this product and would buy the replacement plan if it breaks.

    Worst shark vacuum I have purchase. For the price is retail I expected something like the old sharks but better! After 4 months of using this, the soft brush stop rolling and because of it, it doesn’t have sufficient suction. Try calling because of the warranty but I have to pay $150 “because it only covers the motor NOT the parts” even tough it was bought back in February

    Broken right out of the box. I could not get the dust chamber to snap into place. Upon further inspection, the plastic moulding was defective. For this price point, that should not happen. I got so frustrated I returned it and bought a Dyson the same day.
