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 blew it with this power cord

I needed a vac. quickly. Shark is notorious for the plastic breaking, but the cleaning capability is 4/5. The power cord on this model is THE WORST, and most unsafe cord, I have ever seen. It is stiff, remains bent, does not ever soften to straighten out, and is a tripping hazard. Shark should be ashamed to use this low cost cord, as in the end I am convinced it will cost them! I cannot in good conscience recommend this unit to anyone.

Not for large dogs. Clogged in a month.

I have 6 dogs. Large ones. Was really excited to see the great reviews on this vacuum. Well I have owned it less than a month and the front roller is totally clogged up!! I dont put it on bare floors all the time to (hopefully) help with German Shepherd and Golden Retriever hair, but this failed miserably. :( I do vacuum every day. Have to, this is crazy. Now I am paying for a vacuum that doesnt do what I needed to do.

Excellent lightweight vacuum!

I have long been a SharkNinja fan! This replaced my 10-year old Shark. Suction, weight, and maneuverability are excellent! However, three things that drive me crazy are the control button being on the top of the canister (instead of the handle), the stiff (cheap-feeling) cord, and no light on the handle! I will have a hard time adjusting to these differences from my older model. Overall, the results it provides are excellent.

Sadly disappointed

I am an avid Shark user and I hate to say this but im disappointed in this vacuum. My previous stratos was much stronger sounding and the suction was awesome. With this one , the suction is okay but doesnt compare to the stratos. Its lightweight which is nice but I just feel that this one will not last long ...... feels cheap.

Impressive

I love this vacuum. I have only used Dyson for years but this vacuum is light and easy to use. I’m 6’4 and love the long handle.

Replacement

Had my detector replaced and this one is much better to use. The cord is more manageable and suction control is better
