If you want a Dyson, check this out first. One of my co-works has one of these and a Dyson. She will grab the Shark before the Dyson. The construction is a bit less heavy duty, but the ease and the suction are amazing...

This vacuum has good suction but sometimes almost seems top heavy. The main thing I probably do not like about it is that you really can't get under furniture with it.

I really like this vacuum , I go to it more than a big name higher priced one that I have. Using the attachments are quick and easy. It's not too heavy and is easy to maneuver around and under furniture. Suction is excellent on rugs carpet and hard floors.

Takes some getting used to the rotator action. Steering is by the wrist rather than the arm. Really does a better job than the old vacuums we are replacing. Removed dirt the older units left. The narrower head gets between things that the old units couldn't; the smaller head gets those areas that would otherwise be missed. Couldn't believe how quiet the Shark is, even though it has more suction. Going to buy another for the upstairs area.

I read all the online reviews about the Shark Rotator Professional XL before my purchase and they helped me make my decision to purchase. The reviews were great and the Shark lives up to them. I was so excited the night I bought it that I put it together and vacuumed all the carpet in my house - as well as some of the tile! I love it!

I am replacing a DC33 with this vacuum cleaner, the clutch in the Dyson costs 80 dollars, and that's you replacing it yourself. After doing a little research I found this little bad boy. We have a cat and small dog and two young grandkids that really can make a mess! Beware Dyson for half the price and quality of the shark it's going to give you a run for your money! I am not going to bash Dyson but mine was 3 years old and not covered under warranty as they said it was normal wear.

I have only cleaned 3 times with this vac, but I have zero negative things to say! The cord is long, the suction great, the maneuverability great, the emptying of the canister great! I actually like the small head size because it fits in tight spaces. More use will really be needed to get a true handle on this vacuum.

I have been a loyal Dyson owner for about 10 years now. I was looking for a second vacuum for another floor and was reading some reviews from friends during a Facebook debate. Dyson vs. Shark? I figured I would give it a whirl. At about half the ocst of a Dyson, the Shark has been very impressive! Quality, Value & Amazing Suction! I am now a convert to Shark products. Also, I put the Shark in our downstairs and the Dyson upstairs.

The Shark is very lightweight but is a little on the "flimsy" side. It has an tremendous amount of suction which is a major plus. Couldn't believe what is got out of my carpet. I was using a 25 year old Electrolux which I thought was doing a good job but evidently not.

I had been researching vacuums for a few days. I wanted to buy a Shark because they have a good long warranty and quality products. I found this while shopping at Sam's Club and it had a $30 instant discount! I love that it's not very loud like most vacuums and has great suction! I only have tile floors and use the vacuum instead of a broom or dust mop. I used it on my rugs and it is pretty powerful....I couldn't do it by myself because it wouldn't move. The only bad thing I found about this model is the weight....It weighs about 30 lbs. It moves easily on the floor but lifting is tough if you have any kind of back issues.
