I wanted to love this vacuum, but sadly the maintenance is driving me to use a competitor's model more. Why? Not because it doesn't work but because there are so many filters to clean monthly (and some are already falling apart after just 2 months). There are at least 7 filters that need to be washed and then take 24-48 hours to dry (usually 48). 4 in the auto-empty dock and 3 in the vacuum itself. It's almost borderline ridiculous. With that said the vacuum itself is pretty nice, it seems to pick up everything I throw at it, though the non removeable fine mesh filter seems to clog quickly, requiring me to empty it more often than normal. This vacuum is definitely not going to replace your upright, I keep it upstairs for a quick cleanup, but that all its really used for now.

I love this vacuum so much! It’s so powerful and the lights are so bright which is amazing for my dark floors! I ran this vacuum throughout my whole place when I first got it and was shocked at how much it picked up! I usually vacuum a few times a week with an old Shark plug-in model which has picked up a lot and done well over the years compared to other newer vacuums, but this one blew that out of the water! The only annoying thing about this vacuum is that it doesn’t roll well on my area rugs. The suction definitely increases with the detect mode and it picks up a lot more stuff in the rug than my last vacuum did but it doesn’t roll well at all and I have to put a lot more effort into pushing it and moving it across the rug which is really frustrating considering how much it costs… but it still picks up very well and has gotten a little easier each time I use it on the rug so maybe it just needs some more time and usage before it gets better? My dog got into a bunch of crackers and dry couscous the other day and made a big mess (on the hard floor and the rug) that I usually wouldn’t use a vacuum on since the pieces were so large, but this vacuum picked it all up and left no trace of the mess! I was amazed!! Overall, a great vacuum but if you have a lot of rugs or carpet in your house maybe try a different vacuum.

I am so happy that I switched from Dyson to Shark. I love that it automatically switches power levels from carpet to hardwood flooring. Take it off the stand and it’s ready to go! No cords or plug in and the light really helps. The head is flatter than my Dyson V8 so it fits easily under most furniture. Run time between charges is great. It has never run out of power on me. My Dyson would conk out after just a few minutes, especially on high power. So many great features, It would be hard to pick my favorite…probably the self-emptying tank.

I bought this to replace a Dyson V8 which is a garbage product. I searched and searched until I thought I found the best product at the best price. I am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED with this piece of crap. Absolute garbage. It is actually worse than the Dyson V8. I have never regretted a purchase as much as I do this piece of garbage. Upon docking it in the auto empty thing, you need to make sure that it is making contact with the charging pins. Horrible design. The auto sense technology is garbage. You are better off to just put it on high speed and go about your business. The motor changes speeds constantly while vacuuming, and while on the lowest setting, it does an absolute crap job of picking anything up. I became very annoyed with Dyson after the V8 so I thought I would give Shark a go. Regret upon regret upon regret. ABSOLUTE GARBAGE PRODUCT.

Really disappointed- I had such high expectations for this one! It’s a great hardwood floor vacuum, it’s lightweight and I love that the arm bends for under the beds and dressers etc. My cons: Doesn’t work on rugs/carpets even the thinnest material. Battery overheats and blinks red after 20-30 minutes. I have yet to even get through half of my house on the first nights use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gave this product to my mom as a gift and she loved it! She said that it was far more powerful than any of the other vacuums she had had in the past. The battery life was great and it also was not too noisy so my mom and I are both giving this a five out of five!

I brought this a short time ago, and at first liked it very much. I have dogs that shed, and their hair keeps getting caught in the front roller and stops it from rolling. Also the automatic disposal isn’t working. This morning the vacuum kept turning off after a few minutes. Not happy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shark vacuum is great it has really good suction power and I like how the light at the bottom changes depending on the amount of dirt on the floor. You can bend the handle for those hard to reach spaces. The vacuum is not so loud and the battery life seems good so far. My favorite feature would have to be the auto empty dock.

I absolutely love it! I bought it a month or two ago and I use it almost every day. I mainly bought it because I have 2 dogs and carpeted stairs. All the attachments are super helpful. It does a great job with picking up dog hair. I love that it has an automatic shut off if you accidentally go over something it shouldn’t pick up. The self cleaning is so convenient as well and I love that it charges while it’s docked so you always are ready to go. This is the 2nd shark product I bought, and I can totally see myself purchasing more with how impressed I’ve been so far.

I had previously only used the Dyson line of vacuums. However after repeated issues because of difficulty cleaning with their filter systems, I ordered the PowerDetect Clean and Empty vacuum. I am SO impressed with the power of this vacuum. It is the most expensive Shark Cordless vacuum cleaner. The ease of cleaning (overall) the vacuum and how well it vacuums is EXCELLENT. And not even close to the costs of the Dyson. Have had it 3 months so I have tested well..: a true Shark fan now
