I bought the Shark Freestyle Max Cordless to replace my Bissell cordless vacuum. Why in the world did I ever think a Bissell would be better than a Shark?? My corded vacuums are both Shark--should have trusted Shark to begin with for a cordless vac!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum is ok. Nothing special. It works fine. It does what promises. I am not sure I can recommend it. It cleans easily and without any effort.
Just what I was looking for. This lightweight upright cordless replaced a stick vacuum which worked well but lacked an important upright feature. The majority of the stick vacuums won't stand on their own which is a downside to me. I have this stored just off my kitchen ready to tackle any trails left after making a snack or meal throughout the day. Not having to lug out the heavyweight vacuum for the small jobs makes the day much better. Love the features and the simplicity of this vacuum. Recommend.
The vac worked except for the charge indicator lights. Getting Shark support to help me finish warranty claim has been disappointing. I'd give the vac a 4 support 0

After wearing out a older style cordless that was exceptional in every way we decided to buy another cordless. I believe this is the one, however last years model. If I was Shark Id be embarrased to sell this compared to the older versions. Weak, short lived, cheaply made toy of a Vac. Pretty sad.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I took one star away because the battery is so short on time. My home is 900 sf, I can only vacuum half at a time because the battery runs out, I have carpet, and looks like the carpet setting uses much more battery power cause it just last 30 minutes! Then it takes hours to recharge. The performance of the vacuum itself is great. I would buy, just need longer battery life. Is very lightweight and easy to empty the filter
