My experience using it has been consistent with the features explained in the TV ads. I'm very glad to be picking up dust in my dusty home rather than blowing around lots of it. I've made vacuuming my morning exercise, since I need less dust at home and more physical exercise. It's a bit awkward to handle in some instances, low capacity from my perspective (dusty house) and seems like it might be a bit delicate. I imagine that Shark will be coming up with a new model and or accessories, building on the neat qualities of this product, making a subsequent model easier to handle and providing greater capacity. If it actually is delicate, I'd think a future model would correct for that.
I've gone through expensive Dyson's and just stopped buying fancy ones until I got this. The canister is two parts, I've used it almost daily since purchase and the only thing that needs cleaned is the dirt side of the canister. The floor head has the front roller exposed a bit to pull things ahead yet the machine is capable of easily releasing cords or what might accidently get pulled in. It's a lift away so you can ditch the floor head and to use the useful 4 attachments. There's 4 suction modes as well, if you want the suction power of this Vacuum, attach the yellow power fin attachment and put it on full suction.
Strong, picks up debris on carpet and wood floors well. Self propelled, but goes forward better than reverse. Agile around obstacles like under a table and chairs. Power button is on handle for easy on/off. Can separate handle unit for quick vacuuming of bigger objects, then plug back in to continue vacuuming. Reservoir is easy to dump debris into trash, but little puzzling at first. Build seems flimsy, but lovely. Only complaint, light turns off when handle is seperated from upright unit.
Absolutely The Best Shark Vacuum to date all those features you'd expect and have come to love and new features that make this vacuum so versatile and easy to use...Gets the Floors clean Keeps Carpets looking New the best Vacuum for Pet Parents .The above Floor cleaning cannot be beat and a array of useful tools and attachments that really work and make cleaning so much easier..The Price for all you get is also very reasonable and a warranty that Gives you peace of mind....
This vac is easy to maneuver under and around furniture, and has great suction. My only complaint is that some hair and dust get caught behind main area of dust cup.
Perfect for a home with dogs! We have three and we need the suction power and this fits the bill!! Though mine was refurbished it came looking/working like new!
Very clear instructions on putting it together, took about 60 seconds to snap everything in. Very good suction, and beater brush almost acts like it is self propelled. Love that the canister comes off and the handle swivels. Excellent vacuum!!
