Customer Ratings & Reviews

Would give a 4 1/2 stars; but, we haven’t had it long enough to really rate the vacuum. It’s a little different to empty; although, that’s not really a negative point. It kind of pulls you along so - not a very heavy machine and it picks up a lot of dust with great suction. Would recommend it.

We like this vacuum a lot. It is quite powerful, more so than the Dyson we've had for several years. It seems to pull itself, and that took some time to get used to. If you release the canister and wand you have to hold the canister, the hose doesn't let you get more than two or three steps away, but it's light enough to easily carry. It's easy to clean.

I Have had this Vacuum for about 3 years now. Great Vacuum, still cleans and suction is as strong as Day One. I recommend reading the care guide and make sure to wash/clean the filter every 2 weeks or depending on how often you vacuum and to wash out the canister. I soak the dirty filter in water with dish detergent and rinse with cold water and let it dry for 24hr or stick it in a dryer on low heat. If you do regular maintenance and cleaning it out it should last a long time.

Great vacuum, performed better than my Dyson v8 at picking up messes left by 3 kids around the house

When my old Hoover died, I debated between getting another Dyson or the Shark Vertex. I had had a Dyson years ago. After reading a lot of reviews, I went with the Shark, and I am so glad I did! I have a large, long-haired dog. This Shark really picks up the dog hair! I do wish the canister was a little larger so I don’t have to empty it so often.

Picks up everything in one pass. Power lift-away is great. I've had another Shark for about 7 years. Sharks are well built machines. Ordering on-line with Best Buy was easy. On-line support was very good.

Great suction, the adjustable setting doesn't rip up my carpet anymore.

We haven't had the vacuum for very long but so far, it is great. It has good suction, can reach right to the edge making it easier to clean in hard places and is easy to empty.

- strong suction & dual rollers work great for picking up dog hair

This is probably the best vacuum on the market. It picks up all dirt and debris in its path and does not toss it aside. Granted the cleaning path width isn't nearly as wide as expected but its more than made up for by having just one pass for all cleaning. A bit pricey but it pays for itself with the convenience. Also is amazing on carpets and leaves nicely wicked carpet fibers.

Is easy to use and clean, it also light to carry. Is a great product!

Vacuum is great very versatile. I like it very much.

I love shark because it is easy to use, easy to get corners and underneath the furniture, and it is not very heavy! on the newer models like this, you get to have all the attachments attached to the device which is perfect. It is very powerful too! If you are scared of vacuuming every time you are thinking about it, like me! I recommend this vacuum! It helps you to face your fears ;)

Couldn’t find many reviews that addressed how this unit handled pet hair, so we were worried if it would be up to the task. Boy, is it ever! We have two dogs that shed and a lot of carpet in the house, so keeping our floors clean has always been a challenge. We had a Dyson before this Shark and thought it was getting most all the pet hair because the canister was nearly empty- WRONG! We vacuumed our living room TWICE before using the Shark, to see if anything was missed by the Dyson. We only got about a QUARTER of the way through the living room before the Shark canister was full! This thing is a beast! My only gripes are that the vacuum head is a bit small (takes more passes than our Dyson) and the “self cleaning brush” still catches hair (especially longer human hair) so it’s not as maintenance free as the claims are. Highly, highly recommended regardless.

I don't think there's a better sweeper made picking up animal fur and dirt like no other one I've had.

This vacuum has great suction. It also has a special attachment for getting out pet hair that works very well. It also has part of it that detaches for ease of use.

Love it. It’s easy to disassemble to use just the wand and it is very powerful

I am very pleased with this vacuum. I wanted a powered liftaway & this one was rated highly & was a very reasonable price while on sale. It's a bit difficult to maneuver when it's not used as a liftaway.

Amazing power! The power head is a selling point by itself! My girls have long hair and our old vacuum was always having to be taken apart and clean the roller bar. I’ve used this twice a week since I bought it and there isn’t any hair balled up on the roller bar. Bagless is great too. I’ve got two labs and the amount of hair that gets picked up from them would fill a bag a week!

So far, its a really great vacuum. Long cord, great suction. My only issues are the tank is small so it needs to be dumped halfway through when vacuuming the whole house and it pulls itself along so it tires out my hand/wrist, for whatever weird reason. Those 2 issues are really nothing overall and I'm extremely happy with the purchase.
