Great product.

This is my 2nd Shark, previously has F 80 cordless, loved it this one is way better and I absolutely love it, very light, picks up everything, close edge and love it dumps into container.

Garbage product

DO NOT BUY

Garbage. DO NOT buy!!! Does not pick up items off floor. Drags them around. Magnet closure attracts tiny bits of metal on your floor and make it so the trap sill not close. Better off with a shop vac. Seriously, don't buy this item.

Horrible

So far it's horrible. Doesn't hold it's charge. Fully charged and it maybe lasted for 10 min. Hardly sucks anything up. I'm seriously considering on returning this thing.

Hi there, Thank you for sharing your feedback. Experiencing a vacuum that only runs for a few minutes on a full charge and barely picks up debris would leave anyone frustrated, especially when you expect strong performance right out of the box. Your experience so far doesn’t reflect how this model should be operating, and it makes complete sense that you’re considering returning it. To help address the battery and suction issues you’re seeing, we’d recommend checking our self‑help guide here: https://support.sharkninja.com/article/IW4000-Series-Shark-Cordless-Detect-Pro-Vacuum-Troubleshooting-Guide?redirect=false. If the troubleshooting doesn’t improve performance, please follow the instructions at the end of the guide so our team can assist you further. Kind Regards, Shark Clean US.

Useless

We received this vacuum as a gift from my parents for Christmas. We don’t use it often, but recently have noticed it just pushes dirt and hairballs around. It does not pick up. If I lay the vacuum right on top of these things, it will initially suck it up and then leave it behind once the vacuum turns off. And to top it off, it clogs constantly. I don’t know why I even bother using it. I end up having to pull out my big Dyson and just suck up everything this leaves behind. Very disappointing because I’ve heard great things about Shark from people.

Love, Love, Love!

I bought this because we were looking for the perfect hardwood floor vacuum, that would also vacuum our rugs easily. This is it!! It does great on both and on the edges of our floors against the wall. The automatic charge and trash emptier is a plus as well!

Love It!

I absolutely love this vacuum!! I am a clean freak and have bought so many over the years that have been such a disappointment. We have an indoor 100 lb dog that sheds a lot, and this vacuum sucks it all right up. I have wasted so much money over the years in vacuums with no suction😫 An added plus is the self emptying feature . You put the vacuum in its base and it does the work for you. I would definitely recommend it to anyone!!

Good for daily small jobs

We have had a Dyson V7 for years and needed an economical replacement. Chose this one because of the auto empty feature on the base. I use this vacuum daily for limited jobs. I like the auto empty feature and the lighted brush roller head. There are two less-than-perfect details. 1) the auto-empty only works if you have the motor on the floor wand. If you use a handheld attachment, you have to swap back to the floor attachment before you can lodge in the base for the dirt canister to empty. 2) I vacuum a lot of crystal cat litter. The crystals don’t transfer fully when emptying, and they will get hung in the back “gate”, requiring me to use my hand to clear the crystals and close the gate before using the vacuum again. My husband has said he wishes the power button was a trigger rather than a push button on the back of the motor requiring two hand operation - but I’m not as bothered by that. Suction is good.
