Superb suction, NO hair/string wrap on beater bar

Love it! We use it every day as we have a dog that sheds a ton, and two boys. This vacuum sucks up so much, it is incredible and there is NO hair/string wrap under the beater bar! The led lights are very helpful as well. I only wish it had a longer cord. I did install a suitable 16/2 13 amp 15' extension cord to use with it which really improved the convenience. This Shark replaced a previous Shark that had lasted many years.

So far so great

I haven’t been able to use every feature of it but all the features I have used have worked out great. The power of the vacuum is fantastic and to me it is pretty lightweight. I vacuumed a room after it had been vacuumed, not very long ago, with another vacuum and it picked up so much more.

Hands down ***** love this vacuum !

I have now had my upright detect pro for about a month now and I absolutely love this vacuum! I have owned a few shark vacuums before this one , the vortex, the rocket they have been great vacuums and have lasted for a long time especially at times with having 5 dogs,3 Cats and 3 Birds… I do a lot of rescue and with that comes a lot of hair and dander… This vacuum blows all of the others away! The strength is unmatched! Only thing I regret is that it didn't come with all of the attachments… I would've liked to have tried them out and reviewed them as well, but as far as this vacuum goes, hands Down my absolute favorite and I am definitely so so impressed with everything about! *****

Great upgrade.

I have this exact model only 10+years old. We needed an upgrade bc we have a new dog and I vacuumed the basement and it was a bit stinky. I did my research and I kept coming back to wanting my vacuum just newer. This one is great. I think it's 100% lighter than the older version. There are a few things I wish didn't change like button placement and the wind up but overall this thing is super powerful, cleans what we assumed was clean and is actually propelling which makes things easier. Again it's powerful so if you're not prepared for the propel it does jolt you a bit. I love it and I'm really happy with it.

Love the new automatic features!

This is our third Shark vacuum cleaner, has always been a dependable machine. Our daughter still has the first one, which is over 20 years old and still works well. We like the new way it automatically switches from carpet to bare floors, and puts more suction on the side that is against a wall. The suction on Shark vacuums has always been awesome, which is why I still buy them. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is they took away the one thing that made it awesome. The body is no longer detachable so you can clean under your furniture and such. That is a feature we loved on our old vacuum, which we broke the plastic that holds it upright. If Shark will put that feature back on it, it's a 5 star product.

I Love Shark vacuums and with 2 goldens I NEED a great vacuum. Although I love this vacuum the design flaw is that it should lift away like the stratos (which I had prior to this vacuum) so that you can easily get under furniture. I honestly thought it did which is why I bought this one instead of another stratos but that was my fault for not researching better.

Not for owners of dogs that shed

I am super disappointed in this vacuum. I have two German Shepards and this vacuum just can’t seem to handle their hair. I do not have any carpet in my home, only hard flooring, and the vacuum continues to get jammed and hair gets built up and stuck in the roller. I have to take it apart often to keep that area clear. The chord on the vacuum is also way too short. I’ve always had Dysons and wanted to give Shark a try, but I feel like I’ve made a mistake.

Shark Carpet feeding frenzy

Regretted this purchase within days. On carpet or large area rugs anchored by furniture it's ok. Not great but ok. Unless there's a setting I haven't found yet, it's impossible to vacuum smaller rugs without it trying to pull the rug into the roller. You can use the hard floor mode but then you lose the roller/beater option to better clean the rug. It doesn't fit well under furniture unless you're willing to give up the power nozzle. It doesn't pick up fine dust along the edges or hard floors.- not even with multiple passes. The liftoff canister is ok for vacuuming stairs but there's no power tools for carpeted stairs. My last vacuum had a smaller power roller brush like a pet hair attachment - this one does not. Also the motor/canister area gets so hot it partially melted the crevice tool and warped it so it doesn't fit smoothly. The power cord is insanely short so expect to have to unplug and plug it in elsewhere to finish a decent sized room (like a master bedroom). And finally if there is ANYTHING on the floor like even a pair of shoes, it will lift up over the sole and try to vacuum up the shoe. This product was clearly QA'd in an empty 10x10 room with only clumps of dirt by a person who'd never operated a vacuum before.

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback with us. We’re really sorry to hear about the difficulties you’ve experienced, from trouble cleaning smaller rugs and edges to maneuverability around furniture and everyday items. We understand how frustrating this has been, especially when the vacuum isn’t performing as expected in a lived‑in home. For smaller rugs and bare floors, try using the Hard Floor setting. This provides maximum suction while slowing the brushroll, which can help prevent rugs from being pulled into the roller. You can find more tips and guidance by visiting our FAQs at the link below. https://support.sharkninja.com/en-CA/article/LA800-Series-Shark-DetectPro-Lift-Away-Upright-Vacuum-FAQs We would like to look into the overheating you mentioned, especially where it caused a tool to become warped. Please reach out to us through the link below so our team can review this further with you. https://support.sharkninja.com/contact-us Kind regards, Shark Home

Not worth the money, very disappointing!

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