The power and the ease of dumping.

I have only used it a couple of times so far but it has been enough to know that I already love it. It is easy to use and really does the job. I replaced another Shark with this one and know that I will be a Shark customer for life.

Love my Shark. The auto empty dock and the long run time are wonderful. I do wish the vacuum part was slightly lighter weight. I had a Dyson previously and while the suction was good, it was cumbersome to empty and always made a mess when doing so.

Great machine

We received this a few weeks ago, and so far everything about it is wonderful! It picks up and cleans beautifully. We would recommend this to everyone.

Great Buy

The quietness of this vacuum is amazing and I t picks up great! I was concerned about the battery losing charge. We figured out it was best to let the sensors do the job. As long as the as getting is at the lowest or medium setting, the sensors goes back and forth. The highest setting will cause the battery to get hot and lose charge faster. That is a safety feature. We live it and it is better than Dyson or any Shark I have had in the past. You have to try it to believe it yourself!

Very versatile!

Ive had this for a few weeks now. It is lite and so versatile when usung around the house. Not saying you need it. But the self clean is nice. Then when the main container gets full you empty it. So if it matches the longevity of other shark products I have bought. I will be very happy with it. Cause ive used this on blinds to on top of cabinets to crevices on couch and chairs and so much more. Buy it and be happy.

The positives are too numerous to list.

Suction is incredible and I never thought I needed the wand that bent so I could access areas under something ... now I use it and appreciate it all the time. We have 3 cats, 1 dog, and a very active wood stove and interior wood pile. Debris is a constant as are clogs with a vacuum cleaner, corded or not. So, of course, this vacuum got clogged, which was no surprise. What was a surprise was how easy it was to clear. I've yet to discover that little luxury in any other vacuum. I know this adjust speed based upon type of surface as well as degree of dirt ... Which is really, really nice ... what I didn't expect was for it to pull me along when doing my carpet. Normal for me is PUSHING the vacuum across carpet which was never fun, especially if the carpet knap was going contrary to the vacuum cleaner. The self clean I didn't need, but now that I have it, it's kinda fun. Always having the vacuum fully charged is definitely a plus, as I wasn't always faithful at plugging the previous one in. The positives for this vacuum are incredible, the only negative I have is that it's heavy. But that's a minor consideration when I weigh all that I gained. I would definitely recommend this unit . As an aside, I tried the cheap route when considering a cordless vacuum to replace my previous Shark upright, as Shark is not inexpensive. Those two attempts went to the dump today. Yes Shark is expensive, at least to me, but the value is there.

Best Vacuum for People with Pets

The vacuum is amazing! I have two black sister cats who shed like crazy. With my other vacuum (which I loved except for the cat hair issue) I could move side to side and rotate around - it was wonderful. But it would just roll the cat hair into long strips that no matter what I did the vacuum would not pick them up. It drove me crazy. The Shark picks up everything with no issue - I love this vacuum! It makes my life so much easier. My only negative comments are: 1. it is very heavy - I work out and my right arm was still sore the next day after I used it for the first time; and, 2. No little manual was provided. How to get started was provided. I had to go online to look up information. This may save you money - but for the cost of this vacuum a manual should be provided. Yes, times are changing, everything is online but that doesn't work for everyone - think please about it.

Do yourself a favor and just get a Dyson

I bought the Shark Cordless PowerDetect Clean & Empty System as a replacement for my old Dyson that finally gave up after many years of use. From the reviews I had read I figured that this would be a great cheaper alternative to a new Dyson with similar performance, boy was I wrong. If you have dog that sheds a lot, like a husky, this vacuum is not for you. The dust roller constantly gets clogged at large clumps of dog hair start to accumulate in between the roller and the vacuum rendering the roller useless. The vacuum itself does not do well at vacuuming the hair or dust and it really fail when it comes to vacuuming the rugs sold by ruggables at all. To top it all off, the battery doesn’t last long and I am having to wait hours in between vacuum session to charges just to vacuum a 900sqft

Absolutely LOVE this thing!

I absolutely love this thing! It’s quick to switch and detect the type of flooring it’s vacuuming! The auto empty feature is great! I had a different Shark auto empty and it was nothing compared to this model. Soooooo happy I upgraded! It does such a great job! And my kids love using it too, BONUS!

Powerful and lots of helpful features

This is a powerful, light and easy to use vacuum. The stick has joints that can flex so you can vacuum under things that others can’t. It can temporarily get stuck on highly textured carpet but can be manipulated to work. I love this vacuum however, it is extremely powerful and can quickly plug the foam pre filter . The pre filter must be cleaned more often than you think, there are no signs like loss of suction. This can damage the motor. It does require more checking than a normal vacuum but easy cleans more effectively.
