SharkPowerDetect Clean & Empty Cordless Stick Vacuum & Auto-Empty System, Powerful Suction, HEPA Filtration, Carpet & Hard Floor, Portable, Stick Vacuum for Pet Hair, Dark Gray, IP3253

This is by far the best purchase I’ve made this year. We replaced our cordless Dyson with this because the Dyson started falling apart after about 8 months. Every time we’d vacuum with it, we’d lift the vacuum off the floor to empty it into the trash can and everything we just vacuumed would fall out of the brushes, even after cleaning the vacuum and checking for clogs.This Shark does everything we wished the Dyson would’ve done. Against edges, it automatically powers up and sucks harder to suck things from under the baseboards. Going from hardwood to carpet is amazing. No switching heads like the Dyson. It automatically engages the rollers down on carpet and sucks much harder. Back to hardwood it automatically knows and goes back to hardwood/tile mode. Dust debris started to build up a bit in the dust bin on the Shark, but taking it apart and washing it is so easy. The weight of the vacuum is very light and easy to manage, but still has a very sturdy, strong feel. The automatic emptying design is the best I’ve ever seen. The battery life is awesome. It doesn’t even use 1/4 of the battery when we vacuum our 2200 sf home. The way it doesn’t clog with pet hair is the best designs we’ve used. Never a clog and we vacuum a ton of dog hair from our yellow lab everyday.I highly recommend this vacuum to anyone that’s nervous about switching brands. This thing is the best purchase you’ll make in terms of a new vacuum.

We stayed at our in-laws recently and noticed they had a cordless stick vacuum. It was very handy so when I got home I researched them and chose this Shark one. We’ve owned it for about 6 months and we use it daily even though we also have a robot vacuum. I like that it detects edges and bumps the power up, detects carpeting and turns up the roller bar. Easy to empty, easy to clean the filters. The ability to fold on the middle along with the smaller head size makes vacuuming under furniture easy. We have a long hair cat and the beater bar does not get wrapped up with hair. I like that you can separate the vacuum at different points to make a shirt car vac, or long stick vacuum. There’s been no cons with this thing, it charges quickly and you can buy extra batteries for it, they just slide on. I would definitely buy this again and recommend it to anyone looking for a good stick vacuum that doesn’t have the initials D$

Very pleased with this vacuum. So far, I only have pros, no cons.Here are the pros.* Excellent suction.* Very manuverable.* The detect feature is a great boon. I don't have to wonder if stuff on the floor or carpet has been picked up, the sweeper adjusts to get everything. I do watch the lights to know when all has been removed.* The dust bin empty feature is a wonderful addition. I prefer to empty a dust bin after each use but disliked doing that. Now, I hang the vac and presto, the bin is empty.It's not too heavy.* Given it's many features, I doubt it could be much lighter.* The battery lasts while I do everything I want to do. The battery lasts much longer than the other brand that's highly rated.Very pleased with the purchase.Two weeks later and I'm still delighted with this vac. I do have some advice. The filter system on the motor is very effective and captures large amounts of dust. I was surprised when I first checked on it and discovered it was so full. With other sweepers, I've found that allowing a vacuum filter to get too full decreases the vacuum's suction. So, now I'm looking at that filter system far more often. (I continue to be surprised at how much it collects!)

Very high tech and powerful with a long lasting battery. My only objections are that it’s a bit heavy and when it detects dirt in carpeting it becomes very hard to push until you go back and forth many times. Locks up until it no longer detects dirt. Otherwise the vacuum is heavy duty and does a great job on tile floors, the edge of walls get special attention but I got a blister on my knuckle trying to clean the large area rug. I don’t know if there’s any way to stop it from becoming difficult to push. The good thing it’s opening in the front picks up larger debris unlike the less expensive shark models. If you only use it for floors you will be very pleased. Picks up dirt and dust and pet hair better than my old fashioned Hoover canister corded type vacuum.
