SharkCordless Detect Clean & Empty Auto-Empty System with QuadClean Multi-Surface Brushroll- IW3511

Shark vacuum

Very first use the pipe got stuck .

Great Features But Needs Some Fine Tuning

I decided to buy this on a whim, and while I am so glad that I gave it a try, I have to say that it appears that the vacuum itself is too short for someone of my height (5'10") to use. I have attached a photo of it on it's stand with my Dyson V11 standing upright beside it in an attempt to show the height difference. I must say the shark was so short that I could barely push it along the carpet; I kept lifting it up off the floor instead. I did not actually like the detect mode for the edges of the room, as I found it irritating that the suction was adjusted upwards to clean the edge of the room. This product left beautiful lines in the carpet and it did an OK job on hard floors too. I have some very light rugs that my Dyson V11 cannot clean (as it will try to suck them up) and this shark did a great job of fluffing those rugs back up. This is not a proper cyclonic vacuum cleaner. IF one is to open it up one can see that there is just a pleated HEPA filter behind the cone shaped shroud that is inside the bin. This does lead me to be concerned that the machine would lose suction very fast. The contents of the vacuum stick straight to the shroud. I had thought this vacuum would be cyclonic when I purchased it, hence why I am mentioning this. I found the self-emptying base cleared most of the dust off the filter, but not all of it. Furthermore, The self-emptying base is not cyclonic either, and you will have to stick your hand in there to clean some of the dust off when you do eventually empty it. It is a great idea that I think could use some fine tuning. Overall, the product was good, but I found that I personally could not overlook its faults, so I sent it back and I am still using my Dyson V11. I am not a stranger to Shark products as I used to be a house cleaner. 9 times out of 10 I would recommend the Shark corded vacuum to people as Shark products are normally excellent. I have even gifted a corded shark to my mother as she enjoys that it is much lighter than a corded Dyson. I myself continue to use Dyson in my own home due to the fact that I will only use a cordless vacuum for myself. This is not my first time buying a Shark cordless either; last time was a Vertex (I believe) and I also found that one was too short. This is something I would really like to see improved, possibly by an adjustable length tube, so that I can use a Shark cordless vacuum, instead of continuing to pay Dyson's prices.

Shark cordless vacuum

Item works as described

Great lights, doesn't clog up

We like it and it cleans well. It is easy to use and conveinent to empy hands free. Very happy with this model.

Best Stock vacuum on the Market

I am a disabled veteran and have health issues which make it difficult for me to use a full-sized vacuum. This stick vacuum is the best I have ever used. The automatic emptying of the vacuum into a chamber that holds a month or more debris is phenomenal!!

As soon as that handle breaks it’s absolutely junk Just a really poor handle design.
