It's "Awkward" to use. Lifting it out of the stand is too high up. The Power on is on the end of the head instead of the trigger. You need two hands to start it, then use the trigger - which changes speed if you keep your finger on it! The latch to angle the shaft is hard to press. It cleans okay and the "auto empty" is nice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own a Dyson and had never tried Shark products. I was quite surprised at the power of this vacuum. I am now going to use this one instead of the Dyson because of its overall suction power and battery life. Another cool feature is the light indicators. It turns white once the area you are going over is clean. This is super helpful when vacuuming carpets and area rugs as you can’t visibly see the dirt but the vacuum will detect how dirty it is. Another awesome feature is the folding stick. Now I can reach under all my sofas and furniture. Move over Dyson, shark for the win!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was blessed enough to receive the shark power, detect self cleaning and emptying stick vacuum system recently. This vacuum compares to other models of the shark as well as the Dyson vacuums. This product has a feature called the power detect intelligence which increases the cleaning power for up to 75%. It is able to detect and find hidden dirt and boost the power to suction it. It also has a built-in extra suction to pull in debris from the edges and corners of the floor. While using it on carpets and floors, it’s able to optimize performance based on what type of floor it is and it also is able to change directions and pull in debris even on a reverse pull.I think the best part of this is that has a multi flex feature that is able to flex the stick in hard to reach places like under tables, etc. The other very awesome feature is that it has an auto empty dock which locks away dirt, does, allergens and odor without having to empty physically. The charge time on this also last up to 70 minutes, which is great and much more than the average cordless vacuum, I would 100% tell you all to purchase this product as it works great for people who shed as well as pets.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was absolutely blown away by how good this vacuum is. It is super easy to set up. It is a workhorse on both carpets and hardwood floors, angling around obstacles as needed and delivering professional results. I was impressed by the long battery life, as I was able to finish the whole house in one charge. Since I have allergies, I was hoping it would sufficiently remove dust and it did better than I expected. I immediately noticed a difference. Lastly, the automatic evacuation of the vacuum is amazing. I love not having to worry about emptying the vacuum every time I use it.

This is my third shark, and i don't feel it compares to the others that I've bought in the past. I don't like the power detect system. It doesn't always power up when you need it to vacuum up something. I didn't see any way to override it and increase the power myself. Also, it didn't come with any type of instruction manual. You have to scan it with your phone and try and figure things out that way.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum cleans very well. Suction power is great and it can clean my entire house on one charge and then some. It maneuvers easily and the handle is comfortable and the noise level is minimal so I can clean without waking up the kids! The self cleaning dust system is really awesome too. Makes cleanup easy

I was very skeptical of a cordless vacuums because I’ve always heard the battery life is bad. But I loved the idea of the quick and easy clean up. I’ve had this one for a month and LOVE it!! It’s never died on me and I the best feature is my long hair doesn’t get caught in the bottom ever!! No more having to take the time to cut my hair out of the bottom. I also love the fact that it sucks up along the baseboards and moves so easily. I haven’t had a single issue yet and I actually enjoy vacuuming now. Sounds crazy but it takes half the time now. I would definitely recommend this vacuum!!

I have been using my cordless vacuum for 4 months. I purchased this vacuum to supplement my normal vacuum with day to day to quick vacuums. The first month I was really happy with it, out of the box worked great. My only gripe was the dust bin on the vacuum itself is difficult to open. This is annoying when every so often you have to open the bin because it gets stuck and will not auto empty. By month 2 I started having issues. Dirt and hair are getting stuck and not being sucked up into the vacuum. The amount of work I have to do to use the vacuum each time its not worth it. If you are a house without shedding pets and hard floors, you will likely be happy with your purchase. By month 4 I rarely use it now because I am just exhausted from the amount of work to use it.

I received my ninja on October 5th and used if for the first time today and was amazed as the vacuum did everything as advertised. I have a small dog that sheds 365 and she is black with light colored tile floors. I was concerned at first that the dust collector seemed very full after doing 3 rooms as I. Had not vacuumed for 5 or 6 days and was concerned there would be a drop in the suction which did not happen. My house is around 1800 SF took about 30 min to complete had at least half of the battery life left and continued to pick up everything in its path. I love the size of the vacuum, the flexibility of movement and ear of use. My son was telling me he had purchase one 2 weeks ago and when we talked he had not yet used it but has since and loves it too, he told me how great everything was that he had read and researched about this model. Great purchase.

So far, so good. I’ve had this vacuum for a few weeks. It was easy to set up. I vacuumed an area where I had just vacuumed a couple of days before and was very surprised to see how much dirt and debris it picked up. I like that I can stand the unit anywhere and don’t have to screw parts into the wall. So far this has been an excellent purchase.
