This vacuum has worked great for us, we have a mix of hardwood and rugs. Cord is long. I never saw laying it down to move locations as a detractor until I read other reviews but it has not been a problem. Great little vacuum.

Better than anticipated suction/pickup. I was amazed to see how much hidden dirt was pulled out of my carpets (and that my heavy full size upright vacuum was leaving behind!).

The top is a little heavy especially when using it for a long time. In my opinion the shaft is a little long. Works great as far as the vacuuming goes.

Bought this for a friend & she loves it. She was struggling with a heavy oversized vacuum & I kept telling her this was the best light weight vacuum I ever bought. Better than Dyson.

Great amount of suction for such a small vacuum. Does the trick and I like the fact that you can change the setting for smooth floor at your thumb tip.

I have had one of these for several years. I love it but the one I had fell and broke the hinge which was unfixable so I bought a replacement which now has a better design

This is my second shark vacuum, like this one! I had the first one for 8 years, the only reason I decided to get a new one is the black Friday sale, actually it's the best one I've ever owned and I'm in my 60's!

says it's marketed for pet owners yet doesn't even survive semi-regular vacuuming of a ~800sqft apartment with one husky. not bad, but not good enough for what I needed

If all you want to vacuum is dog/cat/people hair, this isn't a bad choice. Even though the cord is too short. It won't touch rock salt, crumbs, paper, paper clips, wood chips and anything else bigger than a pinkie nail

Does a great job of cleaning the water/dirt catching rug at the back door that normally has to be taken outside & beaten. It is top heavy and will make your arm tired pretty quickly, but works very well!
