Powerful, Easy to Use & Cleans Exceptionally Well

We’ve been using this Shark DetectPro Lift-Away vacuum for about a month, and we’re very happy with it. The suction power is excellent and it picks up dust, dirt, and debris effortlessly. One feature we especially love is the light indicator—it clearly shows areas that still need cleaning and lets us know when the floor is actually clean, which is surprisingly helpful. The vacuum is easy to maneuver, works well on different floor surfaces, and leaves the house looking noticeably cleaner. Overall, it’s a powerful, well-designed vacuum that makes cleaning quicker and more effective. Highly recommended!

Fantastic, powerful vacuum!

Great Vacuum! Would highly recommend, it’s very powerful! I chose this one because it said it was good on carpets and I needed for carpets on the upstairs of my house and it did not disappoint. It picks up so much that I didn’t even see was actually there.

New Shark in the house!

Shark has been my vacuum of choice for years now. I would never go with another brand. Shark is superior to all others I have used and never disappoints. Plus, it outlasts all other vacuums. This new Shark I purchased is fantastic, and I look forward to using it every time I pull it out. I highly recommend this unit.

GREAT company that stands by their products

Shark sent a replacement sweeper for our one-year-old Shark which had malfunctioned. Shark sent a new replacement, what a great company that stands by their products!

Solid vacuum

Great suction, build quality, and modularity. I like that I can fully break it down and change out the pieces to fit my needs. Additionally, it is a good bit quieter than our previous vacuum. Overall, I am very pleased with this product.

Good buy

I bought this vacuum in place of my other Shark vacuum which I purchased two years ago, and is still under warranty, but stopped sucking up. The company is currently working with me. However, I have a two floor home and keep one vacuum upstairs so I don't have to lug it up and down. That is also a Shark and much older. It still works wonderfully. While I am impressed with the suction on the Shark Detect Pro Upright vacuum, the detector does get conflicted when going from hardwood to tile. Also small rugs, like bathroom rugs, are difficult to do no matter what setting. Nevertheless, it does its job very well so far and I do like the side lighting.

Shark Fail 😠

I've been a dedicated Shark vacuum customer for years. Sadly, this one is a fail on several counts. The self-propel feature is too strong. You basically have to run it to the wall if you want to stop it. The adjustment for less/more suction is ineffective. I've always been able to vacuum my rugs using this adjustment w/o sucking the rug up. Not with this one. The crevice tool does not fit on the body of the vacuum, even though there is a post for it. Lastly, the cord holders are on the top of the canister and the bottom, almost to the floor. If you have back or bending issues, this is inconvenient and not user friendly. And the carpet refresher canister 🤮. I don't want my house to smell like industrial strength bathroom deodorizer. I have basically the same but older version of this model. There was really no need for all of the changes. It was great the way it was. Now I'm in search of a replacement, ugh.

Not worth the money, very disappointing!

Succion is very inefficient, the different modes are useless. Very heavy, hard to manipulate. Cord very short.
