Customer Ratings & Reviews

Let me start out by saying I love Shark Vacuums. This is the third one I have owned from Shark. The biggest con I would say is the price, but you truly get what you pay for. This vacuum has very good suction, comes apart so you can vacuum the steps easier and looks great. It also comes with a great warranty and great customer service! I would highly recommend!

Let me start this off by saying that we have seven cats, one dog, and two humans in our house. When it comes to couches, I'm sure everyone here can deduce that vacuuming is a regular occurrence. We only have hard floors in our home, so I was simply using our shop vac on our couches. However, when we saw this vacuum on sale and saw its awesome reviews, we decided it was time to get a vacuum designated for indoor use. All ten beings in our house agree it was one of our best purchases! This vacuum works far better on our couches than our shop vac did! Vacuuming the couches (and steaming them afterward with our new steamer) has strangely become one of my favorite chores. Using the vacuum hose can be a little clunky, as it feels rather short when the vacuum cleaner is on - however, that means the powerful suction is actually doing its job! If I'm getting proper performance, that little bit of extra maneuvering I have to do is more than worth it.

This is a great product, we have a very hairy dog and the attachment works great and makes it easy to clean the couches. We use the vacuum first through the house and picks up dirt and small debris pretty nicely, then we use the broom to get to the corners. Absolutely recommend this product.

This vacuum gets everything from the ground! The attachments are awesome, you can easily clean your baseboards with them. The vacuum is a little heavy, but it’s worth it to how well this cleans.

Amazing vacuum - very powerful and picks up the pet hair in our home so well! We have 5 dogs and 2 cats. Very impressed and happy with this purchase.

Love this vacuum, and I hate vacuuming! Works wonders on our hardwood floors, literally moves itself across carpets, easy to empty, and the fact that it will go flat to get under beds etc., is awesome. Highly recommend.

This is a phenomenal vacuum, it picks up just about anything. But there are cons to it, over time (about a year) the prongs wore out connectimg to the head of the vacuum but was fairly cheap. The other con of mine is that you cant take the head apart to clean it thoroughly and if you do take it apart it is a process needless to say. Im also noticing the fins are starting to wear down on the large roller a decent amount (about 1/2 of what they used to be) and the cost of the whole head is pretty expensive. But overall its a great vacuum, the suction is just as strong as it was the day we purchased.

Great machine but… yes, hair gets wrappled/clogged so you need to take out the roll at least monthly (if you hardly vacuum, like me) to cut the dog hair out. But otherwise, it’s really good. One caveat - I have a bunch of accessories for things like dusting, and under appliances, but the suction on this is SO STRONG, even with the air vent open, that it sucks down on the machines hose and forces it to shorten. So if you’re trying to dust up high or be careful, good luck. You’ll have to keep all 8 of your hands on the machine to stabilize it at the same time you’re trying to reach up, say, to dust on top of a hutch, otherwise the machine constantly falls over. And it feels like you’re wrestling a live thing, because of how powerful it is, when you’re trying to use the hose (for something that really should just be simple). The hose should be at LEAST a foot longer, and more stabilized so it doesn’t pull/shorten under the vacuum pressure. Also SharkClean doesn’t sell any extra lengths of hose for this, so the one hand on accessory, other hand on machine wrestling match is never-ending. If you just want to push vacuum around the house, you should be fine. Otherwise, it’s quite frustrating.

Originally I purchased a competitor vacuum (Bissell) and had returned it because it did not have a lot of suction. Spent a bit more for this one instead and even though it was more than I wanted to spend I am so glad I did! I vacuumed right away after using the Bissell, and it picked up a lot more dirt! This Shark Vertex vacuum works very well, I can't believe the dirt it picks up, and it even gets burrs out of my carpet. Highly recommend!

This vacuum cleaner has amazing suction strength, and I highly recommend it.

Amazing vacuum! the handle is so convenient in that it transitions from hardwood to thick carpet & it does a great job at vacuuming all areas of the home. I’ve had it for 10 months and use it 2-3/week

This is the first Shark Vacuum we have purchased and are very pleased! We have been buying Dyson's and with our dog, we're constantly cleaning the brush roller. This vacuum advertised that it will not clog up with hair and is self cleaning, and so far, this is true! This vacuum does a great job on hardwood floors as well as carpet! Our only complaint is that it could be a little lighter, although it pushes pretty easy. To sum it up, we really like this vacuum!!

Love this vacuum. It has a really powerful suction. I couldnt believe the amount of dog hairs that it got up. Jus to see if it was better I had previously run over the carpets with my old cylinder vacuum. Then I used the Shark Vertex and it filled the dust canister 3 times. Amazing. It is a little heavy to get used to at first, but now it's no problem. Sometimes the front fins wont spin if I have been using it on hard floors. Just have to turn off and back on for them to start.

If you're looking for a vacuum for hardwood floors, just stop looking. This is it. Seriously, I love it so far, powerful suction, it even cleans areas where I would usually would have to bend down and scrub with my hands. Although be ready to put on a workout if you have weaker arms, as it is very heavy, but only because you need at that weight for all that power.

This is one of the best I have purchased , Excellent product!!!

I love everything about this vacuum. I’ve been a long time Shark user but this is hands down the best oke I’ve owned. Hair is a big problem in my house and the bristles just keep wrapping and wrapping with a death grip and its very difficult to clean. This vacuum has the fins which make that part so easy! I buy the filters on Amazon for a lot cheaper. My only complaint and I can live with this since this vacuum is so easy to clean/maintain, but it does not have a light when using the handle. Shark, please consider adding this feature and this will hands down be the perfect vacuum!

This is hands down better than any Dyson I’ve ever used. It’s amazingly versatile and proficient at cleaning every material imaginable. My wife convinced me over to Shark products and I regret nothing about the switch. A higher quality product at a more reasonable price is every reason to buy one.

This vacuum works really well and has strong suction. It’s lightweight, easy to move around, and picks up dust and pet hair quickly. Very happy with this purchase!

This sweeper is easy to use. It it great for pet hair i have two long hair cats that shed and a dog that sheds hair non stop. The canister is light to carry it has good suction in the hose it does what its suppose to do and i havent had any trouble with it at all. Its also easy to clean out.

For those that are looking for something to clean your hardwood floors , this works great. Vacuums and harwood floors have difficulty getting along and those that have hardwood floor know it can be troublesome when the wrong vacuum is used. The roller/brush itself can not turn off but the hardwood floor setting on the Shark made no marks whatsoever . It's a tad tricky to manuver around , but it's suprisingly light for a strong corded vacuum. I recommend it for those looking to get something to clean their hardwood floors. I'm certain people have their own needs and wants for a vacuum . And that's fine. I can only say for certainty that this one fits for my needs. One note - Be mindful of the cord. Personally , I like it because it's longer than most . Some will not and may even run over the cord on accident.
