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.

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We're pleased to hear that you've found the vacuum's suction and dirt pickup performance impressive, and that the canister empties well and provides enough runtime for your home. We also appreciate you taking the time to use the vacuum for nearly a year before sharing your experience. We're sorry to hear, however, that you've found the vacuum struggles with the amount of fur from your two Huskies, particularly when it comes to clogging in the floorhead, brush roll, wand, and dust cup. We understand how frustrating this can be and appreciate your honest feedback regarding its suitability for homes with long-haired pets. Your feedback is important to us and helps us improve both our products and overall customer experience. If you would like assistance with maintaining performance or reducing blockages, please contact our support team by clicking the link below, and we'll be happy to assist you further. https://support.sharkninja.ca/en-CA/contact-us Kind regards, SharkNinja Ca

Best vacuum I’ve ever owned.

This product is spectacular. The run time is great. The automatic bin feature is a game changer.

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're glad to hear that you initially had a positive experience with your Shark PowerDetect Cordless Vacuum & Empty System. However, we're sorry to learn that it is no longer charging or self-emptying after only a short period of use. We understand how frustrating this can be, especially when the product was working as expected initially. To help ensure proper charging and self-emptying performance, we recommend verifying that the dock is connected to a working power outlet, ensuring the vacuum is correctly seated on the dock, and checking that all connections are secure and free from debris. If you continue to experience these concerns, please reach out to our support team using the link below so we can investigate further and provide additional assistance: https://support.sharkclean.com/hc/en-us/requests/new Kind Regards, SharkNinja

Nice vacuum!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Surprising this is quite powerful. Make sure you check the model number because not all suction in reverse. I like the strongest setting but the detect setting seems to work well.its a little delayed when it recognizes dirt but it did kick up the speed. I have used it on my concrete floors in my home and vinyl plank floors…it worked low pile carpet but I felt like I had to push and pull pretty hard…it’s supposed to auto detect the different kind of floors too…but seriously I don’t like battery powered things like this and I am thinking about buying another one! It’s light weight too…

Not so good great

The charging does not last that long on the unit, run time Approximately 25/30 mins tops. The hair or debris get caught in the rollers and collects a firm line of hair which has to be cleaned out constantly causing loss of suction. Doesn’t do well on area rugs. I’ve cleaned out the canister as directed and hard to put back together .without breaking a little hook piece, be careful. I like that I don’t have have to empty it but I would trade everything for. More suction less small and longer running time. Does not cover 1500 sq ft.

Great suction

I have a 9 year old Shark stick vac and I love it. Decided I needed an upgrade so I purchased this wonderful power detect and I couldn’t be happier! The suction is fantastic and the auto empty is a great feature. I have several Shark products and am happy with all of them.
