Me and my friend clean houses. This our second shark. The first one we wore out. We like this vacuum because it’s light and easy to carry. We also like how powerful the motor it. It dies a very good job!! You can detached the hose and use it as a hand-held for stairs. I’m the one who does most of the vacuuming, so I love this feature. It has a light to tell you the beater bar needs cleaning. Anorher thinng I like is it fits under most beds. It’s a great little vacuum for the price.

You’re reading reviews for this vacuum because you have two concerns: hair and weight. Consider your problems solved.
First, hair. As you can see from the attached image, I have the kind of long, extremely thick hair that strangles vacuum rollers dead in nanoseconds. This vacuum’s roller has a groove carved into the plastic so you can quickly and easily slide a knife or scissor blade in, severing every hair with no hassle. Instant cleanup, no destroyed roller.
The suction is no joke. There are two settings: one that is as powerful as my old vacuum on max power, and one that is TURBO CHARGED. This will demolish ground-in dirt and hair even from high-pile carpet or rugs. The suction is so powerful, even carpeting and rugs that have been pounded completely flat have the fibers physically pulled upwards, so even if your hairy little monster of a pet likes to destroy carpet or rug fibers, after vacuuming they feel plush and wonderful. Con: on Turbo mode, you will smell burning hair. The motor really is not kidding around and will set itself on fire before it allows the tiniest speck of dirt to remain on your floor.
Second: weight. It’s remarkably lightweight and very easy to heft around even with tiny elf arms. The maneuverability of the vacuum head is excellent and can work around such tight unwieldy places as between chair legs. All the pieces pop apart and reassemble with no trouble, so storage and transportation will never be an issue. Con: almost all of the weight is in the top handle, where the motor is. This can make it a tiny bit difficult to get the vacuum head to stay on the ground properly, and makes it nigh impossible for you just to stand the vacuum up anywhere and leave it there. Being top-heavy does it no favors.
General design con: the canister is somewhat small and connected directly to the motor so you can’t just pop it out, empty it into a bin, and pop it back into the vacuum. It’s very easy to empty, but you are still going to have to heft the motor around with it, and the motor is obviously still going to be plugged into the wall. Good news is that the motor/handle/canister all pops free of the other bits with a simple lever press, so it’s not like you need to carry the entire vacuum with you when you head to the bin.
Bonus pro: there are a huge number of attachments, heads, and specialty bits and bobs in with the vacuum. I don’t know what half of them are used for. Some are obviously for cleaning off stairs, or ceiling fans, or getting into crevasses, but some of them, who even knows. Literally whatever kind of application you’d like this vacuum for, there’s probably a specialized nozzle for it. This is the cleanest my stairs have been in four years.
Final pitch: look, I get it. I have a A Thing about money where no matter how worthy a purchase it is, a triple digit price tag makes me flinch. I put off getting a new vacuum for months and watched my own mental health spiral, knowing a contributing factor was that I was living in rising masses of dirt and grime. Danger had its element, too; a pie plate exploded (don’t ask) and glass shards found themselves all over my kitchen floor, and some ended up in my feet. No vacuum to clean up the shards I couldn’t see and couldn’t get up with a broom and dustpan. I know being surrounded by painful messes we’re powerless to fix is a 2020 mood and all, but this metaphor is a little too on the nose. I caved and bought the vacuum. I cranked her up this morning. This is the best I’ve felt in months. I know the price tag is a little steep compared to other lightweight vacs, but it’s powerful and versatile enough that it’s absolutely worth the expenditure.
If you’re looking for a worthwhile vacuum that will demolish human hair, pet hair, ground-in dirt, and particulates from any flooring you could possibly have, all while staying under $200, this is it.

Facil de utilizar muy comoda, remplaza al 100% a una escoba convencional, ideal para aspirar diario en lugar de barrer y mover el polvo de un lado a otro. EXCELENTE

This vacuum is magical. I use it everyday in my dog friendly home and the power is fantastic. It’s easy to use, very lightweight and empties easily. I do wish it would stand alone without the need to prop it somewhere while I shuffle furniture but if that’s the only downside… GET IT!

I had a Dyson cordless vacuum which I wasn’t too impressed with for the price. The battery started dying slowly and now only stays charged for 10 minutes. I hate cleaning and when I am motivated to clean, don’t want to have to recharge the battery and start again LOL. I wasn’t going to spend a bunch of money on a new battery so bought the Shark corded vac (don’t have to worry about running out of juice)! The cord is very long. The suction power is very good and not heavy at all. It is top heavy, but it has a rubber pad so that you lean it against a wall and had no issues with it falling. I really like this vac. I also have Shark steam vac that I bought ages ago and it also works very well.

Necesitaria valorar varias cosas, sin embargo es una marca y un producto que valen la pena.
Sobre todo porque lo agarre a mejor precio del normal.
Mis puntos de vista reales del producto: Pros y cons.
Sirve en alfombra o piso duro sin problema.
Muy buena succion (se esta en la primer semana de compra)
Facil uso y ensamble.
Es para limpieza diaria o rapida.
Se calienta rapido.
Tiene poco espacio al ser pequeña asi que se tiene que estar limpiando varias veces, eso si tienes casa grande.
Es un poco mas pesada de lo que pense (son como 9 libras o 4 kilos)
Tienes que tener cuidado en escaleras por el cordon (pero eso es basico de todas)
No trae donde colgarla, pero si tiene espacio el producto al reverso para poder ponerla en algun lugar puesto con anterioridad (es decir no trae aditamento para guardar),
Al ser pesado el motor versus los accesorios, si la dejas sola parada puede caerse.
Pero a pesar de los puntitos malos, le doy un 4.5 de 5 estrellas, lo unico que no me gusta es que se calento algo rapido en comparacion de otras maquinas que he tenido.

This is better than my dyson! Super long cord! The vacuum unit is super light although I took off stars for weight as when you use it with the floor piece it feels very heavy from the floor head.
Comes with amazing attachments for fur and super easy to clean the vacuum itself!
When my dyson battery was only lasting 15 minutes due to age I decided instead of replacing it I would get a corded vacuum and shark came highly recommended and I am so glad I bought it!! Never have to worry about the battery dying when you aren’t finished a big job again!
I have 6 cats and a small child as well as issues with my joints and muscles and this vacuum works perfectly for me.

After throwing out our 3 hardwood vacuums that either: 1. Could no longer hold a charge 2. Had poor suction capacity or 3. Had limited use due to constantly overheating, we were excited and weary to get a new hardwood vacuum.
My mom has an older model of this same vacuum that we trialed first and really liked, so when Amazon prime day came around we decided to get one for ourselves!
The good: this vacuum has phenomenal suction capabilities. The dust cup is very easy to empty. The cord is long so we don’t need to constantly change outlets and it’s not like the rechargeable ones that will eventually not hold a charge. It comes with lots of attachments that are helpful for everything from getting spider webs in hard to reach corners to getting pet hair off upholstery to cleaning our ceiling fans.
The bad: it’s advertised as light weight but I still thought the main handle component was pretty heavy, but worth it due to the enhanced motor it probably needs for superior suctioning.
The really bad: the brush roller was extremely challenging to take apart and clean out. I have long hair and it’s a constant problem that my hair tangles in vacuums. It does have a nice built in brush line that makes it easy to cut along but I had to use 3 tools and watch 2 videos to figure out how to open the base of the vacuum up to get to the actual brush roll. The older version my mom had included an attachment that didn’t have a brush roll and it was much less bulky to get into smaller spaces, I was hoping this attachment would be included.
Overall we are happy with this purchase and would recommend.

I have another larger vacuum and – honesty – I’d rather burn all the carpets than lug that thing around. This feels like a tree branch compared to that one. Great suction power and gets into decent spaces. The head swivels quite a bit. Does a great job. It’s also one of the easiest vacuums to clean. The roller panel cover is easy to take off (I used a butter knife to unlock the 3 latches) and it’s REALLY satisfying to cut and yank all the hair out of there. The filter is also really easy to clean under the sink and dries fairly quickly (softly ring the water out). Got this on sale and it was worth every penny.
