Wanted to love it but its a no go!

Bought for Black Friday. Opened it today, finally. Was so excited, but it didn't last. Works beautifully with hand held system, although i did have some issues with getting pet hair to empty. But there was nothing on the floor attachment to hold the blue front brush in. it fell out the first time i lifted it out of its packaging. For the price point that is just ridiculous. i love my regular Shark vacuum so much I bought one for all my family members. Glad i didn't buy them this one, :(

Good vacuum but not great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The vacuum was great for the first 8 months I had it and now it barely sucks anything up. It just piles the dog hair and doesn’t suck it up. I cleaned it very well, checked for clogs, removed the hair that gets stuck at the bottom. And it does this on both carpet and hardwood floors.

Great features and easy to use!

Absolutely love this cordless vacuum, the clean and empty feature is great! I am a big fan of Shark products and this is by far the best purchase yet! It holds charge well and I can do my whole house with ease and I love the auto sense as well, it makes cleaning seamless when moving from hardwood to carpet. It vacuum's my shaggy rugs as well!

Not good on rugs

Thought the vacuum was gonna be great till we put it on an area rug. It sucks up the area rug instantly and will not run at all. Also sucks up any smaller rug instantly and will not run very disappointing. I thought this was gonna be a much better vacuum on a rug where you need it the most. I don’t recommend this to anyone with rugs I will be returning because if I cant vacuum and ruin in my house what’s the point

Hi Dennis, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand how disappointing it is when the vacuum is difficult to use on area rugs, and we appreciate you letting us know. If you're finding it tough to push and pull the vacuum on carpets, it’s likely due to the strong suction power of your unit. To make it easier, you can switch to Eco Mode using the trigger under the handheld. Eco Mode still delivers powerful suction to meet your cleaning needs while being gentler on carpets and rugs and easier to maneuver. Kind Regards, Shark Clean US.

After reading reviews. Decided NOT to purchase!!!!

I LOVE Shark!!! I really wanted this vacuum!!! I have the step down from this. It only sucks going forward. When this came out I was so excited that it sucks both forward and backward. My corded Shark I had since 2016!!!! And it finally pooped out this summer. I recently had major back surgery so needed light light light. I have dogs and cats so try and vacuum every other day. After reading reviews I’m not going to purchase this vacuum. :( AND it’s on sale too!!! :’( Hoping a newer one will come out fixing all the issues!!!

Other brands are better. Very short battery life.

Bought this product and was disappointed in the battery life also service support they were horrible Too many robot and when I got to a live person they don’t know what to do or help with the battery issues. They keep trying to go through unnecessary steps for clogged hose. Asking me to drop a penny down it. What the heck does that have to do with the battery. Only last like 5 to 7 mins. Needs a recharge.

Completely failed product design

This is a total design disaster. Every time I put the vacuum on the station to suck the dust out, there are debris blocking the vacuum’s dust bin cap closing and leave the bin unsealed. You will see dust flying all over the place when you use the vacuum with the dust bin unsealed. Also the button to manually open the dust bin is sensitive(the bin is completely opened just with 1/3 push of the button) located at the extremely easy-to-be-pushed spot, so when you are unaware you will dump all the dust and debris on you and the floor when you are carrying the vacuum after the cleaning. This happened really many times and it is definitely from a stupid design work rather than just clumsy of me.

Great vacuum, instructions not so great

This product arrived about two weeks ago and so far I love it. It is quiet and really gets the dog hair, dust and dirt up . So far the only downsides are the lack of unpacking directions I could understand. The print is so small on the online instructions I tried to enlarge it only to struggle with keeping track of the pages. I did find the website justadad.com and he did a great job of showing its features and uses. Second I would like a list and or schedule of necessary regular maintenance. Finally, the scent of air purifier tablet is awful. But the vacuum itself is great!

Awesome Vacuum

I bought my first Shark a few weeks ago. I’m loving it! I was actually surprised at how well it picked up ground in dirt and grime from my area rug. Love the feature of emptying itself! IP3000 series is the way to go! POWERDETECT clean and empty is just an awesome little upgrade. I named it Tony Shark 😆 and when I’m going to sweep I always tell my husband that me Tony Shark are going to dance around the house for a bit.

Sucks. And not like a vacuum should.

Constantly clogs with pet hair and stops running until I clear it. Hair wrapped around the barrel badly. Anything small vacuumed up and it stops until I clear it. Suction isn’t even comparable to other vacuums I’ve had. Only redeeming feature is emptying itself but that doesn’t make up for its lack of power. Two thumbs down.
