This has to be hands down the best vacuum I’ve ever used. It’s works amazingly on the laminate floors I have really glides over them and cleans them well. It does an equally good job on the carpet I have, and I have a few different styles. As powerful the vacuum is I wouldn’t try a thin rug, it would probably just suck it up like wires. Additionally when vacuuming carpet be careful of the pull when trying to power off. You’d be better served putting the vacuum upright to power off when doing carpet,

Like others here, I am replacing an old Dyson and this is the first vacuum I've found that comes pretty close to the Dyson when it comes to suction. I wish the vacuum was a little wider, but it doesn't kill me to make a few more passes. This Shark is noticeably lighter in weight, which is great. The plastic feels 'cheaper' and not as sturdy as the Dyson. I don't know how long this machine will last but it won't get rough use with me, so hopefully it will go a long time. It has a scent puck that evidentially must be used for the machine to work. I haven't noticed any detectable scent so I suspect it's a way to add an additional money stream from the consumer for the life of the vacuum. They aren't real expensive so I'll suck it up and buy them twice a year. The cord is a little shorter than the Dyson, but the Shark is not as loud. All in all, I like this vacuum and while I don't think it's better than the Dyson, it is a close second for a much more affordable price. So far, I'm happy with this vacuum.

FRONT BRUSH FELL 1ST USE!!! On first use, front brush fell off and would not reattach. Many things have changed with shark vacuums. The on/off switch placed on the vacuums is a huge let down. It use to be on the handle ready to use. The light on the wand is gone now also. The vacuum picked up hair well until the brush fell off it!! ... and if you hit an uneven spot 2nd roller stopped working and red light came on... DON'T BUY

Great vacuum for pet hair removal. Good suction and adjustable for carpet or wood floor. I like the detachable canister for stairs with no wheels to move off step. . Hand tool accessories helpful with couches. Slightly heavier than my smaller navigator shark but not too heavy. I love all my shark vacuums !!!!

Love this vacuum! Had a Dyson before and I would even say that I like this one better. The suction power is about the same but the the Shark is easier to maneuver and not as heavy as the Dyson. So glad I bought this one. With one dog and three cats out home is as clean as it gets. Can only recommend the Shark!

My first shark is wonderful! I have to my sister. I wanted one I could remove from the base of the vacuum to walk around with out the heavy floor/carpet attachment! This is awesome to do exactly what I was looking for! I love it so much, made my life so much easier!!! Thank you!!

Great little vacuum with a good amount of power. Accessories are easy to get to and use. Really like the brush/rubber feature in the power head - picks up the tiny dog hairs like a champ! All in all it’s nearly perfect for daily use. Nearly… because it would make it more convenient if it was cordless and came with 2 long-use batteries!! (The only reason it didn’t get the best rating!)

Honestly I am a total vacuum snob. I have bought every vacuum Available. These nicer sharks are the very most versatile and best bang for your buck. I love them. I own two just because I love having one on each floor. They are easy to keep clean. Just keep them clean and they will last forever and keep doing the same great job as the day you bought them!

I had given my old Shark rotator vacuum to my cleaning lady and purchased a new one. Now I'm sorry that I gave my old red vacuum away for the new one isn't as good as the old one was. I think I had the old red one for 7 to10 years or so. It was a great vacuum.

This is a great vacuum. The suction is great and pulled a lot of stuff out of the carpet that had been recently vacuumed with a stick vacuum. I like the ability to detach the actual vacuum from the base for portable use like cleaning your car. I've found that a stick unit isn't as well suited for that sort of use because the lack of a hose. Overall, very happy with my purchase.
