You can't beat a SHARK

First, I'd like to say it is wonderful working with Shark. My previous version of this vacuum stopped working and they were very quick to replace my entire vacuum covered under warranty with the upgraded version. Though the vacuum is not as lightweight as my previous, the powerful suction makes it easier to overlook. This version has odor technology built in vs me having to purchase an odor neutralizing cartridge. And though it does not stand up alone fully connected it does stand when detaching the handheld portion and placing it on the front hook. At first, I was a little upset at the differences, but it is a great vacuum and as with my other Shark products I find they far surpass any other vacuums including Dyson. I have owned many vacuums from Electrolux to Kenmore Hoover Dirt Devil. Shark by far has everyone beat. THANK YOU
I would recommend this to a friend!

Small but Mighty!

I needed a very light weight vacuum to carry up and down stairs.. it also needed to be powerful. I was reluctant to purchase this one due to the fact that I just couldn’t imagine it having enough suction/airflow needed to get the job done. After going back and forth for days trying to decide which one to buy I settled on this one. I am so thrilled that I did! It has way more suction/airflow than I imagined! The only cons in my eyes are that the dirt bin is small, and it won’t stand on its own with the vacuum motor attached to the wand/power head. Neither would keep me from purchasing this vacuum again!

He I love the weight of it and it had great suction. I sort of wish that the canister was on the bottom, but I understand that I wouldn’t be able to detach and use it as a handheld for furniture, etc. But overall I give it a 9.5!!!!!!!

Powerful stick vacuum

I bought this vacuum about a month ago and I am so glad I did. I got tired of the cordless vacuums, having to buy new batteries so I did some research and ended up getting this shark vacuum. It has way more power than a cordless. I gave it a 5 star but I would I would take off just a portion of one for it not standing up on its own. But I knew that when I bought it so that's on me. This vacuum has great suction , not too heavy and is powerful on carpets. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that is looking for a powerful corded stick vacuum. I love it !
I would recommend this to a friend!

TOO HARD TO PUSH
on February 19, 2026
Posted by: roller

Gender:Female
I received my sweeper 2 weeks ago. When we went to use it, it was extremely hard to push. I notified Shark and they send me another filter to add . This makes it slightly better. I have purchased many shark vacuums and this is the first one I can honestly say I do not care for. I am 66 years old and purchased a lightweight vacuum to make it easier. I did not expect to get one that was extremely hard to push.

Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
We’re really sorry to hear that your new sweeper has been difficult to push. We understand how frustrating and disappointing this must be, particularly since you’ve had many Shark vacuums in the past and this is the first one that hasn’t met your expectations. We will absolutely share your feedback on the maneuverability of this Shark with our product development team.
Kind regards,
Shark Clean

I bought this for my mother, she is 87 and was looking for something light and easy to use. Very happy with it, works great all the attachments that came with is really all that is needed. Small container for collection, but good for just doing a room or 2 at a time!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Powerful Suction

I love this vacuum. I only gave 4 stars because I have ended up with very sore hands and bruises from the handle. It is very top heavy and puts pressure on my hands when holding it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Weak Suction
on April 20, 2026
Posted by: Emily407
Gender:Female
I bought this Shark vacuum in October 2025, and within two months the suction was clearly weak. It struggles to pick up even small debris on tile floors, and I’ve always had to sweep after using it.
I regularly clean the filter and dustbin, so clogging isn’t the issue—the performance just isn’t there. Less than a year later, I’m already shopping for a replacement. I’m very disappointed in both the product and the brand.
I really wanted to love this but I'm so disappointed

Your feedback is important to us and helps us continue improving both our products and the support we provide. We would really like the opportunity to assist you further and review what may be happening with your vacuum. Our support team can help explore possible solutions or next steps at
