Best. Vacuum. Ever.
on August 23, 2025
Posted by: amypadamie_1983
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the BEST vacuum I have ever had! Heavy duty suction power but compact and lightweight. Super powerful suction both forward AND backward. The easiest vacuum filter cartridge I’ve ever seen. Just pop it out, empty it and pop it back in! Gets every last crumb, even the big chunks!

Works but frustrating
on August 21, 2025
Posted by: kimberlyr350_3128
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I generally prefer cordless vacuums but decided to give this one a try, and it’s nice not to have to worry about charging it. I like that it’s lightweight and glides across the floor. It’s easy to use and quick to assemble. The light on the front makes it easy to spot messes on the floor.
However, the vacuum head is very narrow, I think it would be better if it were a little wider. And the dust container is also super small. My biggest pet peeve though is that it won’t stand on its own. When you go to clean the dust container or even store it, it has to be leaning up against something. If you take the handheld part off it will stand, but then you have nowhere to store the cord.

Lightweight yet powerful, the Shark Detect™ Ultral
on August 19, 2025
Posted by: _morganray_7588
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Shark Detect™ Ultralight with PowerFins Detect™ Corded Stick Vacuum for free in exchange for my honest review, and I am seriously impressed!
The suction power is excellent—it easily picks up dirt, pet hair, and fine dust from both hard floors and carpet without needing multiple passes. The filtration system does a great job of trapping dust and allergens, which I appreciate as someone who wants cleaner air while vacuuming.
It’s very maneuverable—lightweight enough to handle with ease and slim enough to get under furniture and into corners without struggling. The dust cup capacity is decent for an ultralight model; it holds more than I expected, though I do find myself emptying it more often when tackling larger clean-ups.
The noise level is moderate—powerful but not overwhelmingly loud, making it comfortable to use without feeling disruptive.
Overall, this vacuum combines strong cleaning performance with easy handling. If you’re looking for a lightweight corded stick vacuum that doesn’t compromise on suction or filtration, this is a fantastic choice!

Great vacuum
on August 19, 2025
Posted by: ViktoriaP
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really happy with this Shark corded vacuum. Super strong suction with low noise level. Picks up everything from floors and carpets, and I love not worrying about the battery dying. Easy to move around and the attachments make cleaning simple. Just a solid, reliable vacuum.

Heavy and clumsy.
on August 18, 2025
Posted by: jenniferh1242_2617
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum worked really well on my carpet and not as good on my wood floors. I gave it only 3 stars because it is heavier than my Dyson. I also don’t like that you have to take out the dust bin to empty it. It is a bit clumsy. I also didn’t like the cord. I much prefer my cordless vacuum.
I would have given it only one star until I vacuumed my area rug. I was very impressed by how much dirt it picked up out of my area rug.
