Don’t bother, it’s a complete waste of money.

This is the worst vacuum I have used in my lifetime. If you have a pet that sheds, it is absolutely not for you. I have had this vacuum for 3 months and the main attachment is not working at all. Pet hair clumps under the intake rendering it completely ineffective. Shark used to be a great value, now it is just a cheap piece of junk.

Save your money & frustration, buy something else!

I have had this now for 2 months. The vacuum is useless for my house. It assembles easily. I love the feature to clean under furniture. It is light and easy to push. It cannot handle hair on bare floors. It pushes it around and gets clogged multiple times even in a small room which requires taking the thing apart constantly. The AI setting is awful, just a constant slow down/power up/slow down/power up. Ecomode does not have enough suction. Power boost drains the battery before I have half a room vacuumed. Save your money if you have pet hair! You will spend more time unclogging it and your floor still won't be clean.

Better price, nice features and flexible power.

I like this vacuum because of the automatic floor detection, revearse detection and most important, ability to change suction power while using it as a handheld. I tried a Shark corded stick vacuum and was not able to adjust the suction, which is very important with vacuuming small carpets, light dusting and smaller items. This vacuum allows me to adjust suction power during handheld mode and gives me good floor vacuuming performance. The clean station is a nice feature, not necessary but still nice. The ordor neutralizer is fantastic, not too strong and pleasant, too bad it wasn't installed on the vacuum itself like the Stratos version.

Everything about it

Well worth the price I have a Geman shepherd and a Australian ridgeback and leave dog tinsel everywhere. We use it everyday the convenience of no cord combined with the run time and power are unmatched. I have had other high end brands before and this works so much better. Also you gotta love the automatic container that eliminates all the dust.

Excellent for bare floors.

This vacuum does exactly what I hoped it would do. We have six cats and bare floors, and despite liners and litter rugs, they get cat litter on the floor. This vacuum with the counter rotating rollers picks up the cat litter without flinging it behind the roller head. All other vacuums with a roller make picking up the litter tedious. I can now vacuum the house in about half the time that I could with our dyson and other vacuums.

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!!!

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

Turns a chore into quick fun!

2 weeks in I’m really impressed. Ease of use is great, cleaning is impressive. Vacuumed house 3 times in two days just because it was fun. Third time got almost nothing. Can finally get to all that dust under furniture that used to irritate me so much!

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!

Love this vacuum!

I bought this a month ago, and I am so happy I did! It picks up my dog's hair and anything she tracks in! It also is great on the couches-I used the pet brush and the motorized hand tool I purchased extra. It also is fabulous for cobwebs up high that I don't need a ladder to get or stand on a chair. I bought it mostly for dog hair since I have hard flooring more than carpet, but it also works so well on the carpeted areas and area rugs. Note: on very thick pile, it uses battery life faster. But, it charges well! The auto emptying is probably one of the best features of this vacuum!
