    So disappointed

    It came yesterday, my husband put it together which was very easy. I used it for 25 min. and it stopped running. It's been about 30 mins still will not come on. I did not even have the chance to really use any of the options with it so I can not say how they work ! Very disappointed with this. It is my 3rd Shark in 5 years. I bought the higher priced one this time thinking it would last more than a year. Not even an hour !!! My rug is not filthy either.

      Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your review on the Shark Vertex Upright Vacuum. We are sorry to learn that while using for the first time the unit shut off and would not turn back on. This can happen sometimes if the hose is not attached securely to the main body. We recommend removing the hose from the back of the unit and then reattach it with a bit of force ensuring you are hearing an audible click. If this does not resolve the issue our Product Specialists will be happy to assist you with this issue. They are available at 1-877-581-7375 Monday to Friday, 9:00 am - 9:00 pm EST, as well as Saturday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm EST.

    I have had this vacuum for 2 years. Last year I had to have the floor nozzle replaced, the roller stopped spinning. That piece wasn't covered by warranty. Well, here we are 1 year later, and I am having the same issue. For the price the vacuum should last more than 1 year!

    This is a great vacuum. The double rollers do a great job on tile and carpet. I really like the fact the exhaust does not disturb the path you are about to vacuum. No more chasing dog hair around the house!

    Great Pick-Up; Hard to Maneuver

    Vacuums excellently, but hard to push on even a very low pile carpet! I’m 76 years old, so I have to vacuum my carpets in stages, resting every 20 minutes or so. It does such a tremendous job of picking up (even the dog hair from my 2 canine companions), that I decided not to return it!

    Terrible condition of packaging, it seemed like the vacuum was probably ok. Had this as a Christmas gift and only 3 uses after unpacking it has died. Of course it is past the return exchange period. Previously had shark products that were great, shark customer service and Best Buy’s are awful concerning this purchase

    Terrible. I’ve only used it a handful of times and it’s given me problems every single time. Now the want won’t clip in and it’s unusable. Even when it sort of worked it’s to top heavy and the hose is super tight. Very cumbersome. Wish I could return the.

    We've had the vacuum for five months and it has worked pretty well for four of them. Over the past month, there has been times when it will shut off for no reason. After the last time it shut itself off, it no longer turns on. We've troubleshooted and still no luck. Oit of all the Shark vacuums we have owned, this one has been the worst.

    Awesome power, but heavy

    This vacuum is both attractive and powerful, but the power comes at the cost of noise, bulk, and weight (sorry, no such thing as a free lunch). While it does an AMAZING job of picking up dog hair, the dogs themselves don’t seem to enjoy this appliance, preferring to run away from it. The beater brush is also easy to remove for cleaning (nice touch), and the tank itself is easy to empty. The light on the front is also appreciated. Really, the only down side is that there does not appear to be any storage place on the unit itself that I could find to hold the various attachments that came with it. Yes, this unit is expensive, but it has the power to justify the cost.

    It was a great a vacuum until it decided it wanted to randomly stop several times the second time I used it. Cant trust it. And the one star reviews on Amazon all say Shark customer service is terrible.
