Great, but not for us

This was great, until is was not. We have an auto repair shop and this is for the front office/lobby. We wanted cordless and powerful, with auto empty. This fit the bill! Unfortunately, we started noticing that the deep grout was not getting very clean, corners and baseboards areas, as well as the magnetic closure at the dustbin began to stay slightly open, dumping the contents on the floor.

Hello Carolyn,<br /><br />Thank you for writing a review. We&#39;re truly sorry to hear about your challenges with the Shark Cordless stick vacuum. We understand the disappointment when there&#39;s poor cleaning performance, especially when you&#39;re relying on an effortless clean. When the magnetic closure fails, causing debris to fall onto the floor, it can certainly increase the frustration. We&#39;d love the opportunity to make this right, and we encourage you to contact us at 1-855-427-5127. We&#39;re available Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET.<br /><br />Kind regards, <br />Shark Home

Not worth it

Purchased on 6/18/26 and will have to return. The angle of the light doesn't show the amount of dirt and pet hair actually on the floor. Also, even at the detect setting doesn't pick up dirt as well as my Bissel Power Clean. The vacuum itself is very light and quiet though. I wish it would actually clean my hard wood floors.

Disappointing

Very disappointed with mine don't recommend it for hardwood floor. I still have to sweep after I vacuum and it looks like the vacuum didn't even do nothing cause I'm literally picking up dirt like it hasn't been vacuumed.

Hi there,<br /><br />Thank you for your feedback on the Clean &amp; Empty Cordless. We understand how frustrating this must be, especially when the vacuum isn’t picking up debris on hardwood floors and is leaving dirt behind, that’s not the result you should expect. This isn’t our usual standard, and we’d appreciate the opportunity to make this right. For troubleshooting assistance, please contact our customer service team at 1‑855‑427‑5127, available Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, and we’ll be happy to assist you further.<br /><br />Kind Regards,<br />Shark Home

Before you buy

The battery life is about 15 minutes, no matter what mode it's in. It does better on hard floors vs carpet. It's a little too long to do stairs comfortably. Just get a corded vac. I bought it while I was out of town and didn't get to really test it for about a month after I bought it, so I just kept it.

Hi there, thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand how frustrating it can be to have limited battery life across modes, stronger performance on hard floors than carpet, and a design that makes stair cleaning uncomfortable. We also recognize how disappointing it is when travel prevents fully testing a product within the return window. This isn’t the level of convenience or performance we aim to provide, and your feedback is important to us. Please contact our customer service team at 1‑855‑427‑5127, available Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, and we’ll do our best to help review your situation and explore possible options.<br />Kind regards,<br />Shark Home

Great for wood floors, not for carpet

I love Shark vacuums and have used them for 20 years. The customer service is exceptional. Unfortunately this vacuum is not great. If you have a small home and only wood floors then it works. Or if you plan to only use it in the kitchen for quick, after meal cleanups. But, it only holds a tiny bit of debris before you have to go to the docking station to release the debris. So you will get 3 times the workout than you would with a regular vacuum. Also, after shampooing my carpets (with my shark shampooer that I love) I noticed that my carpets had a ton of dirt in them. So I don't think this does a great job on carpets. I will continue to use this vacuum in my kitchen and entry way. But for weekly, whole house cleaning and larger messes I am going back to my upright shark vacuum.

Sounds good in theory

This only lasted in our home for 24 hours. In theory this is an amazing vacuum. It worked really well on our hardwood floors but when used on carpet or upholstery the issues started. It seems we got a defective one. I couldn't vacuum our couch or rugs without the vacuum flashing red lights at me and shutting off after 30-60 seconds of run time. I would have just exchanged it but the lady behind the CS counter said that this was one of several that she had seen returned in the last few days due to issues with them.
