I know now that shark company pays for its #1 top reviews. There is no way this product would get 5 stars from anyone. This is our 3rd shark and the 6th one I have used consistently. My parents and work also had them. 5/6 vacuums the hose split within a year. The seals to hoses and filters have to be cleaned constantly and the filters have to be cleaned constantly. We have very little traffic and no animals. The hose is way too short and tios the vaccum as soon as you pull it from the base. You literally have to pick this entire vaccum up and carry as you move to vaccum things above waist level. Will never buy another shark and wish all of the product review sites weren't bought and paid for so people could have an honest review. Greed is a terrible thing.

Shark is the best brand I’ve ever purchased. My last vacuum has lasted for at least 6 years but I was ready for a new vacuum and decided to get this one. Man, it is sooo nice. It stands up by itself, it has different levels of suctions, it has a removable canister with an easy release, and it has attachments that are perfect to get the hard to reach spots. I vacuumed with my old vacuum first and I was still able to get a considerable amount of dirt up with my new Shark. The cord is very heavy duty too and I can tell that it’s going to last a while. I’ve vacuumed every single room multiple times this past week because it’s so easy to use. Buy it!

When I ran over my low pile area rug with this I was wow'd by how much nastiness it sucked up. However, on my hard floors it just blew the dirt around and didn't suck it up (even on the hard floor setting). It jams on shag rugs and won't work at all on them. The cord is shorter than my other shark which sucks and the cord comes out so low to the floor that it just keeps getting under the vacuum and jamming it up. This is going back, I don't recommend.

I purchased the Shark pet plus as my Shark navigator is getting older. I thought I would try running the older vacuum right after I vacuumed with the new one. To my surprise the dust cup had enough dog hair in it to show that it does not perform as good as my old unit. It still does a good job but is not as strong.

I had my last vacuum for over 10 years and it finally broke down. It worked great, but heavy compared to the Shark and it did not get as many angles as this vacuum does. Works great on pet hair! The cord is not as long as my other vacuum so I do need to move it another plug to finish vacuuming each level of my house - not a biggie. Cord is located in an odd place on the vacuum that causes some tangling unless I put it over my shoulder. Would definitely purchase AGAIN!

For years, I have been dragging around a cumbersome Rainbow and dumping that nasty water out. No more! I love this vacuum. It is easy to use and has tons of suction. We have 2 dogs that are in the house part-time and one is an adorable Corgi cross that shucks hair like crazy. It picks up the dog hair off the carpet with ease. I also like that it is easy to unsnap the nozzle to suck up a quick cobweb or particles along a baseboard. I am sorry that I kept the other vacuum for so long because I probably didn't vacuum as much as I should have due to the task of filling the water reservoir and dumping it out. Do yourself a favor and buy this vacuum.

I purchased this after reading the reviews. I’m so glad I did! I have two dogs and four cats. This vacuum picks up pet hair with ease. The suction on this is amazing. Dumping the dirt and debris is very easy. Its not too heavy and is very easy to maneuver. I highly recommend for high traffic carpets and people with pets. You will not regret giving this a try!

I like it a lot but don’t like the way the base tips over when lift away in use. The hose is on one end of the lift off and is not sturdy enough to keep canister from tipping over and smashing into expensive hard flooring. If a designer could figure out how to balance the lift away it would make “the very best vacuum”

I purchased this vac as a replacement, we've had pretty much every vacuum out there and this is our first Shark. Paid full price, but I happened to be back at my club to pick up items I forgot to get when I saw the reduced price. I was lucky, it was with in the time that they give for price adjustment and was given the difference back, that was $80 can't beat that. The vacuum itself works great, have had no issues and it vacuums so well it lifts the nap of the carpet making it look new. Happy with the Shark.

I bought this 4 months ago... Everytime I am on carpet, the rotator stops working. I pull the whole thing apart, take every piece of hair or string that could possibly be clogging it out, and then out it all back together only for it to work for another 2 seconds and then the red light comes back on and rotator stops working again. Piece of junk! There are 3 of us in my house with long hair and not even any pets. I can't believe how pathetic it is that it stops working with the tiniest amount of hair in the rotator. I want a refund
