After my Dyson died I bought the shark in hopes of saving some $$. Pros: light, easier to get under beds, easy to change from carpet to hard floor setting, bin is really easy to empty. Cons: (as compared to the Dyson) suction not as good, doesn't swivel as easy, head is a little smaller, doesn't have a wall mount to store or come with as many attachments. I haven't run it long enough to challenge the battery so I can't compare. Overall it is good for a small place that doesn't get a lot of traffic and it does a great job getting up pet hair.

The vac is very powerful, does a great job and is easily maneuvered. I haven’t had any issues with the beater bar getting clogged with pet hair. (I have 3) the battery is the only issue. It only lasts about 30 minutes. Overall, I’m pretty satisfied with this vacuum.

We moved from a built in vacuum system to having a Shark and we didn't really know what to expect. It took a bit to get used to a much smaller sweep path than our old system but it has been nice for both the tile and the carpets. We are very glad we got a cordless model but it did pose some challenges on where to store it so it can charge. (Closets generally don't have outlets and we hadn't thought of that prior to purchasing it.) It's a toss up whether or not we should have gotten a corded vacuum versus a cordless one. We have run out of power before we finished, which is annoying and we have had to get creative in finding an out of the way spot to store it.

I have been told shark vacuums work good but I wasn’t sold due to the prices, but i bought s house that is all hardwood floors besides area rugs i put down, sweeping became a chore so i gave in and bought one. It was the best purchase i made. This sucks up my 2 dogs hair that you can’t even see. It also picks up my hair i have long hair and regular vacuums it gets all tied around the brush but not this one. Id recommend this vacuum to anyone with pets or kids.

I like the power and ease of use. Although compared to my previous Shark cordless the location of the power supply cord was not well thought out. Additionally with my previous Shark cordless, there was a carrying handle; this new Shark cordless does not have one. Not sure why this was omitted.

We bought this a month ago and we love it. It keeps up with the husky hair and the battery lasts longer than we expected! We love how easy emptying the container is too! Definitely recommended it! The only thing we don’t like about it is how loud it is.

I have a Shark in my Rv and another one for home. Got this wine to mainly use on bare floors and light touch up on shirt carpet. Battery life advertised at 40minutes but not likely to get 40 minutes run time period. Still it is worth the buy for my intended use. If you want more run time get the 60 minute battery machine.

Still getting use to it, but it seems to work okay. Would love it if the attachments were easier to add on and if it would stand on its own. Suction is ok with the "turbo" switch if needed. Just does not sound like it is operating at its best but that is probably to save battery. Somewhat defeats the purpose of a "quick suck up a mess" if you have to use it longer to get the job done. I guess they did it this way to save battery for people that think they need to vacuum their whole house.

I used the vacuum for the first time today. I got a new floating floor this weekend--white marble design--and I wanted to vacuum up the black cat hairs that I could see as well as some other trash that the floor installers had tracked in. I went over the floors repeatedly in low and in high; it did ok, but did not get up all the hair even after all my attempts.

We have long hair double coated dogs, most of the floors in our house the carpets have been replaced with hard floor surface. The family room has large tile with a 10x12 area rug, all dogs use this room, have tried several vacuums and all have a problem with hair wrapping around the brush. This does not happen with this machine!!! Very easy to use, works well on all of the hardwood and tile floors, long battery life! The brush roller has both a brush and rubber flap, I can remember purchasing a special rubber broom to be used on carpet to pick up hair and this is built in, really gets the hair! Easy to clean and reasonably priced for a cordless unit.
