Not good with pet hair

It seemed nice and I love the idea of it but unfortunately, the vacuum was only used 1.5 for a small living room area before it seized. It smelled of something burning so I didn't get to finish the other 0.5. My boyfriend had to spend 45 min delicately removing the dog hair that had wrapped itself all around and into the mechanisms. The fluffy green and black rod is permanently scarred and practically useless. Needless to say, I haven't used the vacuum since.

Good first impression

The vacum is as advertised, it's brand new so I can't speak to longevity. Works amazing, it pulls me on the carpet and does a fantastic job, wood floors great also. Sucks the dirt out haha with no dust etc, I really like this shark better than my old one.

The solution to the dog hair drifts.

The Shark Cordless Power Detect vacuum has been a wonderful help in managing the dog hair and dirt in our home. With two dogs, a husky and shepherd, shedding year round, and the impact of having a wood burning fireplace and stove in our home, the dust, wood fragments and hair overwhelms. This has been a great solution to stay on top of the problems daily. The appreciate all its features, but the duration of operation at the highest setting is limiting. Overall very happy with this purchase and it arrived in what I would say was an environmentally considerate way, minimal plastic. We are considering obtaining additional Ninja/Shark products.

Shark is new to us

Haven't had this unit long but so far we are very happy with its performance both on carpet and wood floor. Really like the side wall pull feature when travelling along the cupboards in the kitchen. I hope we continue to see decent battery life, that would be the best.

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.

So far so good after a few weeks

After only a few weeks I'm still very pleased with this vacuum. The automatic empty feature is great and a full charge lets me vacuum my entire house. The hand held mode is also great for cleaning elevated surfaces. Fingers crossed that this experience continues.

Powerful vacuum

When I purchased this vacuum I had no idea how powerful if was. It effortlessly switches from bare floors to carpet. Automatically switches to more power when it detects dirt and cleans right up to the edges like no other vacuum I've used. I love this vacuum

Vacuum cleaner and company are outstanding

This a a great vacuum cleaner. It picks up debris perfectly, suction is great, it smoothly transitions from hardwood floors to rugs all by itself. I loved it. In the Detect mode the battery runs for about 40 minutes, which is long enough for my house. Unfortunately, after a few months something was wrong with my unit. Without any fuss or problem, the company sent me a new one completely free. All companies have units that do not work as well as expected once in a while. So I do not fault Ninja. The easy process and the speed with which the faulty unit was replaced were amazing. And YES!!! The replacement works beautifully. Thank you, Ninja, You have a customer for life.

Don't bother

Not worth the money! The power head and tube consistently clog. I spend more time cleaning the vacuum then I do vacuuming with it. The automatic dust bin doesn't clean itself either. It fails to remove all of the waste it collects in the dust cup. You need to manually remove the dust cup to fully empty it.

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We're sorry to hear that the vacuum has not met your expectations.

We also appreciate you bringing your concerns about the auto-empty system to our attention, as we understand how disappointing it is when the dust cup is not fully emptied and requires manual intervention. Your feedback is important to us and helps us improve both our products and overall customer experience. We would recommend using our self-troubleshooting support by clicking the link below, which may help address the blockage and auto-empty concerns you're experiencing. https://support.sharkninja.co.uk/article/IP3000UK-Series-Shark-Cordless-PowerDetect-Stick-Vacuum-with-Auto-Empty-System-Troubleshooting-Guide-uk Kind Regards, SharkNinja

Its great but... it clogs easily.

I've had this vacuum for a year almost. I like waiting a while before giving a product a review. I have 2 huskies and I wouldn't recommend for husky owners, I would recommend a normal Shark vacuum though. It picks up dirt amazingly, the suction is great until it gets clogged and it gets clogged easily. The fur can clog up this vacuum very easily in the vacuum head/brushrollers, shaft and canister. The canister empties really well actually. And the runtime is all I need, and I live in a fair size house. I do love the vacuum but I wouldn't say its for husky owners or other long coat breeds.
