Shark Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum, 40-Min Runtime, Lightweight, Grey, IX141

This vacuum was my one and only prime day splurge last year and I have not regretted it even once. I researched different stick vacs and decided this model seemed like the best value for what I needed (vs. dyson and other brands). Overall summary: extremely easy to use, charge, and clean the vacuum itself. Very effective and functional, would absolutely buy again even if it died tomorrow after only one year of owning but it seems to be working about 98% as well as it was right out of the box. I specifically waited a year to write this because many reviews I read when comparing cordless vacuums prior to purchase mentioned problems after about 6 months of use. I've had none. The rest of the review is long but I know if I would have appreciated reading this input when shopping around. Battery life: I timed the use when I first got it and ran it for ~40 minutes switching between hard floor and carpet settings and it did not run out. I think it's only died on me once or twice in the entire time I've had it, and that's when I was vacuuming the entire ~3000 sq ft house in one go. Since I usually stick to just upstairs or just downstairs at a time, battery isn't an issue for me even on the high power setting. Suction/dust cup capacity: the suction is only ever affected when the dust collector cup is seriously full, and since we had two cats and one dog and were catching up on a long time of neglecting vacuuming, this was pretty often at first. Since then we've gotten through one or two full battery charges worth of cleaning without having to empty, which means the suction has been great. We use crystal cat litter that sometimes gets statically stuck to our cat's fur and he will shake it off on the carpeted floor. This vacuum has been great at getting the litter (and fur of course) out of the carpet. Not to mention actually emptying the dust cup is super easy too. Hand vac/crevice tool: switching attachments is also very easy. I had a super cheap hand vac I used to use for crevices and cleaning my car, but no more. This is great for getting in between couch cushions, car seats, cup holders, floorboards, etc. Brush roll: I have long hair and I shed a lot more than the average person. One of the biggest deciding factors between brands for me was the ability to get my hair out of the brush roll and I definitely made the right choice on this one. Even when my hair is clogging the brush roll, it has never once actually stopped it from rolling and has barely changed the effectiveness at all. When I do clean it out - it's SO easy thanks to the grooves on the roll and the bristle design. Even on other vacuums that are supposedly designed to easily clean the brush roll, it has never been this easy before. Down side: The only suggestion for improvement I have is that the tiny wheels on the front of the vacuum head were tangled with fur/dust/hair after the second or third use. Unlike the brush roll, it seems impossible to fix this. On the other hand, even though I'm not sure those wheels even roll anymore, it hasn't actually seemed to have any effect on the vacuum's functionality which is why I'm still giving five stars. If you are on the fence about getting a stick vac in general: I cannot recommend it enough and it is absolutely worth making the switch. My partner and I both have depression and ADHD which makes it very hard for us to find the motivation to clean. Since getting this vacuum I am not kidding, I have vacuumed more in the past year than I have the rest of my adult life (I'm 32! Yes, this is embarrassing!). We keep this near the kitchen within easy reach and eye sight, and it's small enough not to be in the way. We also have carpeted stairs which were the worst to have to deal with - both mentally and literally - and now I vacuum them regularly just because it's so easy. We have had multiple full size/traditional "pet" specific vacuums before and this specific model has equal or better suction power and is so much more convenient than all of them. And it fits under the couch!

Title: Powerful Suction and Easy Cordless Cleaning! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m very happy with the Shark PowerPro Reveal Plus Cordless Vacuum! It has great suction power and makes cleaning quick and easy. I love that it’s cordless, so I can move around the house without worrying about plugging it in. It picks up dust, dirt, and everyday messes effectively, and its lightweight design makes it convenient to use. It’s a great choice for keeping my home clean with less effort. I definitely recommend it!

Its a decent vacuum for the price. The PROS: It is light weight, which is nice to not feel like I worked out just to vacuum. The battery lasted about as long as advertised, less than I needed with using the power trigger on many areas that I felt the hardwood setting suction wasn't powerful enough for, but they battery life was honest. Was able to get through most of the house in one full charge. It sucked up most hair/dust/dirt on regular suction though. The CONS: The quick guide that came with the vacuum for assembly did not show where the "prior installed filter" should go when it WASN'T installed before arriving. Took me longer than I care to admit to realize it went into the top part of the motor, before the dirt canister clips on. There was also no instruction or owners manual of any kind, so it was a trial and error, plus some "YouTube universe" to know which settings each thing was. Next issue was each time I had to empty the canister, I had to either take the canister off or disconnect the wand shaft in order to do so. Lastly, but certainly not least for a PET Vacuum, it does NOT pick up cat litter well. Long story short: it is good enough to keep it, but I won't be rushing out to buy another when this one kicks the bucket.

After years of using a No Name stick vac in our house it finally gave out. It taught us that 1. These are basically disposable as the batteries cost almost as much as the whole unit, and 2. We had no use for anything considered "high end." We have had a couple shark products before and were always very happy with the quality and the reasonable price point it came at. It was a big factor in choosing this one. UNBOXING: What you would expect from a small vac the box was about 2.5' x1.5' x 1.5'. There was a lot of cardboard inserts and dead space in there but overall was packaged in a way that would prevent most common shipping mishaps. It took all of about 6-7 minutes to unbox and assemble the vacuum in upright stick mode. Minimal plastic which was nice so we could recycle 95% or better of the packaging. STORAGE: At first I thought this was going to be and issue. We are so used to hanging our old vac off the ground, and this doesn't come with any wall mounting system. To my pleasant surprise it has a small rubber "bumper" on the bottom side of the vac handle. When upright and placed against a wall this little strip does a GREAT job of making sure it doesn't slide down the wall and across the pantry floor. Little things like this impress me. USE/FUNCTIONALITY: This is advertised as a pet vac and we have 1 very hairy cat. Hair control was a factor for us. Luckily on our main floor where this is primarily used we have hardwood flooring so the suction needed is less than a carpeted area. THere are 2 full time modes that both engage the brush. For simplicity we will call the High and Low however they only effect the speed of the brush and not the actual vacuum pull power. In low speed it is recommended for tile and hardwood flooring the brush is activated but at a very low speed suitable to sweep up crumbs without blasting them backward across your feet. It handled the dinner mess our 3 kids leave very well, and did a great job collecting the fur balls in the corners. High speed engages the brush at a much faster speed for carpeting. I did a few area just to test it out and it worked well. I think for surface and superficial cleaning it would work great but lacks the weight and power of a full size plug in vac for deeper cleaning. I did use the carpet mode on the couch and some chairs that the cat frequents and was very impressed with the ability to remove the bedded down cat hair. The vacuum can also be used as a handheld. It comes with a narrow long attachment for use between cushions and tight spaces, as well as a smaller brush assembly for couches, seat cushions, and stairs(although i use the stick mode). This is a handy feature and will be used a lot my my wife and I in our cars. VACUUM POWER: When i first turned it on i was underwhelmed. I felt like it was limited to preserve battery, and maybe it is. But the pull is fine for my use on hardwood. It never left anything on the floor that I expected it to pull up. There is a trigger that you can pull using your index finger that will boost the vac into "full power." This allows you to choose when to use the extra pull only when needed. I found myself wishing there was a way to turn this on full time, but it appears that you need to be actively pulling this whenever you want it at that speed. BATTERY LIFE: I charged this for 24 hours prior to use, not sure if it was needed or not, but we didn't need to use it yet so it charged. I used it for about15 minutes with varied use in High/Low, and FULL POWER modes. Even went and did a little more than what we would normally use it for and when i was done it read 2/3 bars left. When I plugged it in it flashed between 1 and 2 bars, so i assume I used about half of the battery life in the 15 minutes and since they claim up to 40 in low power mode I would believe this claim to be true. OVERALL THOUGHTS: This is exactly what we needed and I would foresee getting a few years or more life out of this vacuum. Versatile enough to be used on hard flooring, carpet, and automobiles or more. It comes at a very reasonable price point considering the quality and the brand reputation. I would think that for pet owners with hard flooring this would work great for most pet situations. The functionality is as promised and I like the weight and feel of it overall. I'm very happy with this purchase.

We have a bunch of large door floor mats in front of several doors in the house, plus some walkway doorways that collect dirt and lint balls on the carpet. Always a big project getting out the canister vacuum, hose, and carpet floor unit to vacuum, so they don't get vacuumed as often as they should. A few weeks ago I'm walking out of a local large grocery store and see one of this model of Shark stick vacuum being used on their entry doorway floor mat. I took a look and remembered "Rocket" on the carpet unit, then tracked the stick vac down here and at a big box home store. What really caught my attention was the clear plastic "catch bin" at the top! Seemed like exactly the right thing in the right place, and clear so I could see what was being picked up. Well yep, having bought one, it works even better than expected! The various comments here, before I bought, said you have to pull the "high suction" trigger to get sufficient power on carpets, and that drains the battery faster. BOTH TRUE, BUT WHEN YOU DO THAT THIS THING SUCKS LIKE CRAZY! I'm impressed with what was in the catch bin and what I could see coming up from the carpets and mats. Small bits like cat litter, large bits of stuff, lint, hairs, everything on the mats and rug walkways. I vacuumed two carpet areas in in doorways between rooms that always accumulate a lot of dirt. Then vacuumed 3 of the door mats. Then vacuumed part of a sunroom carpet where a bunch of cats live. Even on the "high suction" the battery was only 2/3 gone after all that (there are 3 LEDs that tell you charge/discharge level) but I stopped because it looked like the catch bin might be full. This was first use and I wasn't sure. Yep, completely full, and that is a large bin! One thing: INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT CLEAR THAT THE CATCH BIN EMPTIES WITH A TRAP DOOR ON ITS BOTTOM, WHEN YOU PRESS THE EMPTY LEVER. SO IT WILL DUMP RIGHT INTO YOUR LAP IF YOU DON'T KNOW THAT UPFRONT, LIKE HAPPENED TO ME. :) Luckily it was close enough to my lap that the suddenly-open trap door hit my leg and only opened about an inch, limiting how much came out until I could move it and me to the trash can. :) Knowing how it works now, I just hold it over the trash can then trigger the bottom door release. Which is really great, you don't have to turn the catch bin upside down and shake or such. There isn't a printed set of "word" instructions with the unit, it is one of those picture instruction pamphlets. For the most part that works, as in: assemble the stick pipe into the floor unit, then the vacuum head onto the stick pipe. There apparently is a QR code on the top than can be scanned for more instructions. Pro tip: the inside of the catch bin will be dusty after you empty. I used a "computer air" spray can (for PC keyboards and such) to blow out the inside and top. There is no way to get the unit to self-stand that I've found, for storage, as other comments here have noted. I found two cabinets with a space between them wide enough to set this unit in upright. Done! Even has a plug nearby for the charger. Those LEDs near the "suction trigger" show you how the charging is coming along. 3 of them that light in sequence as it charges, then they all go off when completely charged. Charges reasonably fast. At a local big box home store I saw this unit in person, plus a whole bunch of other brands and models. Yep, I "showroomed" then ordered here for $30 less. :/ None of the brands and models had that nice, large, clear catch bin at the top back like this one has. Several brands had black or opaque catch bins and they were located in odd places. Why? To make sure I won't be able to see how full it is getting? Guys! :) This vacuum is great, for what it is, a quick and fairly powerful unit to quickly clean floor mats, doorways, and other small areas. Probably not the ideal thing for your entire living room rug, although could do it with a few re-charges and catch bin empties. Summary: just buy it already! :) A+++++

I love this vacuum, but it wouldn’t be the perfect vacuum for every family/house. PROS: - So quick and easy to use - Lightweight - Convenient - Works great on hardwood floors - Great for stairs CONS - Not powerful enough to clean deep into carpet - Battery dies fast This vacuum works great for us because we have a small house with mostly hardwood floors. Since the battery dies relatively fast, you may not be able to vacuum a large house without stopping to let it charge. I also would not recommend it if you have a lot of carpet, especially if you have pets that shed since I don’t feel like it is powerful enough to clean deeply into carpet. It’s a great vacuum for hardwood floors.

This is my fourth Shark vacuum. My first one didnt work out through no facult of its own and i loved it 20 years ago.. My second was corded monster that was unstoppable until after much hard work it was time to let it go. My third I still have and its still working really well, but Im going to use it only for deep cleans, funky clean up, and keep my brand new shark stick vac solely for my beautiful floors and area rug. I love the very bright light to see EVERYTHING.. its light, its got great suction, theres no roll bar to catch stuff, clean up is easy as usual and i like how it stores. The handhld is a little heavy for a handheld but it works great if not using it too long for arm fatigue.

Very lightweight. Easy to maneuver. Gets in all the tight spaces. Honestly though I found it has two flaws. One being it doesn't stand up on its own like a regular vacuum cleaner so if you let go of it, it will fall to floor. The other flaw is having to stop and empty the dust container so often. It is very powerful for a cordless and sucks up well. Overall if you can get this vacuum on sale, it's worth it but if not pass. I am happy with it for now but will definitely upgrade to a Dyson at some point.

Although powerful, it only runs for around 15 minutes, if you are lucky and, I thought it would run on power as well like a mobile phone but, it does not. It is a waste of money.

Buenísima la recomiendo

This thing sucks. Like, REALLY sucks. Which creates a confusing reviewing situation because normally that would be a one-star opening, but when the product is a vacuum, I believe this is the highest compliment available. The suction is fantastic. It picks up the little crumbs, hair, dirt and assorted household debris that apparently materializes five minutes after I finish cleaning. It’s cordless, easy to grab for a quick cleanup, and powerful enough that I don’t feel like I’m sacrificing actual cleaning ability for convenience. I have yet to discover the upper limit of what this thing is willing to suck up, and frankly I’m a little afraid to challenge it. Crumbs? Gone. Hair? Gone. Dirt? Gone. Small household objects that probably should not have been in its path? It has expressed interest. It’s lightweight, manoeuvrable and has quickly become the vacuum I reach for instead of convincing myself that whatever is on the floor can remain there until tomorrow. So yes, this Shark absolutely sucks. 10/10. Possibly the suckiest appliance I own. Couldn’t be happier.

Je suis extrêmement satisfait(e) de cet aspirateur Shark Pet. La puissance d'aspiration est impressionnante et il ramasse les poils de mon animal, la poussière et les débris en un seul passage. Il est facile à manœuvrer, relativement léger et les accessoires inclus sont très pratiques pour les meubles, les escaliers et les endroits difficiles d'accès. Le bac se vide facilement et l'entretien est simple. Depuis que je l'utilise, mes planchers et mes tapis sont beaucoup plus propres. C'est un excellent achat et je le recommande sans hésiter à tous les propriétaires d'animaux.

Super buen producto, nunca imaginé que fuera tan bueno y que tuviera tanta potencia, me resolvió problemas de acumulación pelos de gatitos, que había acumulados y no se notaba, muy recomendado
