Stick with the corded versions

I bought this six months ago and find its not worth the money. I had a shark vertex corded vaccum before which has great suction but I needed something lighter for the stairs. I knew a battery operated vaccum would have less function than a corded but its too significant of a difference. It won't suck up dirt along the baseboards. It cant pick up cereal. It only moves one direction in carpet, otherwise it gets stuck. If there is anything the paper or ither item the size of a penny or bigger it will clog the machine. Its claim of dust free is only true when connecting the vaccum to the stand, but once you have to empty the stand (about monthly) dust still flies around. When it bends flat I can get under the dressers and bed but it doesn't fit under couch. It does have good swivel on tile floor and its nice that it stays charged in the stand and its nice not messing with a cord making it easier for kids to use on tile floors.

Great Purchase

Recent purchase, so limited utilization, but I believe it is going to be a great purchase. Unboxing and assembly was painless abd so it has worked great on vinyl plank flooring/carpets/area rugs. The automatic empty feature is a big plus.

Second vacuum, first one stopped working

We are having issues with this new replacement. It will stop working in the middle of vacuuming after just a few minutes into the task. Also, unlike the original Shark, this one will stop on one of our area rugs.

Great pick up, poor battery life

I bought this vacuum to replace my Dyson, which I loved, but the plastic parts on it kept breaking. This vacuum has great reviews so when I saw a special deal at a local store, I grabbed it. I had had a cordless Shark before and didn't care for it because the handle felt flimsy. They have fixed that issue. While not as easily maneuverable as my Dyson, it does pick up 100x better. The sand and dog hair come up easily on the first pass and there is absolutely no grit left behind on my floor, even when I vacuum at a normal speed. The lights illuminate the floor well although I wish they were green so the debris would be even easier to see. The unit is significantly more quiet than my Dyson, something that my son with autism appreciates. The auto empty feature is great and it hasn't smelled, even after a week of dog hair. I do have a big issue with the battery life. The box touts 70 minutes but this is only when you are using just the canister and the hand tool. I am hard pressed to vacuum my 1800 sq ft house and that isn't including the 3 regular bedrooms.so I'm only getting about 15 minutes. This is a big part of the reason for my 3 star review.if the battery life were better, my rating would be higher. All in all, this is a good vacuum but it needs to so better to earn a higher rating, especially at this price

Love !

Love ! Easy to clean with, picks up on carpets and tile effortlessly, easy to dump/deposit, so far it’s better than my Dyson stick. And it’s light !!

Dissappointed

While this vacuum does indeed have good suction, I am so disappointed with it in almost every other way. The motor head is not high enough off the ground and does not steer well at all - I think it only has 2 functional wheels? Because it is so low to the ground, as other reviews have said it flat out does not work on area rugs (even on the ECO setting) because it just sucks right to the rug and doesn't pick up anything. I am relatively young and fit and can barely push it along my rug. I though the other reviews were exaggerating this - they are not. I have two long haired dogs - there is still hair wrap on the rollers, which I expected and am fine with, however more often than not, the "clean and empty" function does not work because the hair in the vacuum cannister is stuck. So I still have to manually empty it rendering the clean and empty part useless. Which lead to another thing - opening the filter/cannister compartment of this thing is so unnatural and difficult to do. I have had a couple other shark vacuums (corded and cordless) and they were always so intuitive to take apart. Not this thing. -Last couple issues: the 'detect' function is slow to react to the level of dirt present, and I've never seen it react any differently along edges as advertised. I also have a tough time just putting the vacuum on the clean/empty station - it's awkward and the heavy weight of the vacuum makes it tougher to lift. Overall very disappointed. I usually am a fan of Shark products and was very excited to treat myself to this "upgrade." I would return it if I hadn't prematurely thrown out the box.

I love shark

I bought it and it revealed that I never really got everything with a broom. I love the clean and empty feature I hated emptying vacuums
