Junk
I had this vacuum for four months. The gears are grinding when I pull backwards on it after spending 45 minutes on the phone with them to detect troubles, which I knew I wouldn’t be able to but I did what they asked, also the upholstery tool where you connected to the hose on the toilet itself. It’s all cracking after using a few times I’d say maybe 10 and they want me to pay to ship it back. I don’t think so. I’ll return it to the store and find a different product to buy. It does suck good yet I guess that is a plus

Don’t buy!
Wish I would have read the reviews before I purchased. I loved my old shark vacuum, it lasted 10 years! This one is super heavy. It over suctions and I can’t use it on my large rugs. It sucks them up and stops working. After one full house vacuum, it already appears clogged towards the top of the unit but I don’t even know how I’d get that out. Doesn’t appear to be reachable. All the parts were mailed separately in 6 boxes! Not sure how I’d even attempt to return. I feel like I threw my money away. DON’T BUY THIS VACUUM!!

Power Swich broke after 8 months
I havent even had it a year and the power switch is broken. Vacuum goes on at plug in and wont turn off anymore with switch. Has great power and suction and cleans dirt out of rugs you didnt know was there deep down, so I gave it 2☆. Switch failure prompted me to give this a poor rating

Horrible for German Shepherd owners
I bought this thinking it would easily pick up my German Shepherds hair. It does that easily but my biggest issue is the roller gets clogged easily and the roller bar in the front gets tangled full of hair!!! Also the buttons on the handle ate touch sensitive and ate constantly changing and the vacuum is so heavy! This vacuum is the biggest waste of money! I hate I wasted all that money on this. I've had it about 3 months or so. Plenty of time to test it out.

Worst vacuum ever
This is the worst vacuum I've ever owned. The auto detect is a joke. It just doesn't work at all near walls. It won't shut off when you hit the button. If you even slightly bump into something it errors out and you have to shut it off to reset. And it's absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to use on area rugs. I spend 10 times cleaning with this vacuum than I should and 90% of that time is pulling rugs out of it or having to turn it on and off. Thanks Shark for making it harder to clean. Will be returning ASAP unless I take a sledgehammer to it first.

Fails Big Time on tile/hardwood flooring😩
I love the power in this vacuum but no matter what my daughter and I do - we can’t get it to vacuum floor ! When vacuum hits anything other than carpet it literally blows everything in front of it away. We look ridiculous trying to chase the dust or fuzz bunnies that the vacuum just blew away and up towards the ceiling. We have removed a roller and yes we have on floor setting and even tried every setting , I can’t imagine no one else isn’t bothered by this . If it worked on hardwood and tile flooring like it does on rugs and carpets this would be the Best vacuum ever made. Because of this flaw I have to fall back on my forever dependable Dyson vacuum that is over 10 yrs old and works like day I bought it ! I really was hoping Shark would win me over as its cheaper and I really like some of their other products I’ve purchased. 😣😩

Great suction and performance!
This is the most powerful vacuum I've ever used, and it has performed beyond my expectations. On the very first use, it pulled up more dirt and cat hair than our old vacuum ever did, and it left the carpet looking much cleaner than it has in a long time. It moved from our carpets to the hardwood floor seamlessly, and sucked up all the bits of dirt and dust without scattering anything. Previously when we used our carpet cleaner, it would end up getting plenty of cat hair pulled up in the drain canister and stuck in the water return. Paired with the new shark upright powerdetect, our carpet cleaner cleaned our living room with virtually no cat hair found in the reservoir afterward. Having the ability to remove the canister from the wand gives you superior mobility when it comes to getting around furniture, and I can run it nearly level with the floor to the point it will go underneath my bed and still suck up all the cat hair. The only cons I can think of are super nit picky and ultimately don't affect how this vacuum performs. You have to watch the canister closely, as it fills up rather quickly, which is another testament to the suction power this thing has. The cord isn't as long as some other vacuums I've used in the past, but is still plenty long enough to clean our large living room without switching outlets. You will have to weigh down rugs or floor mats, as the suction is so strong, that the vacuum will almost want to pull them in. All things considered, you can't go wrong with this vacuum.
