NOT Golden floof approved. Pushes hair around, clogs constantly, battery did not even get me through my family room. I do love how it reaches under furniture and how light it is, but horrible if you have hair to deal with. Wish there was a pet version.

Thought the vacuum was gonna be great till we put it on an area rug. It sucks up the area rug instantly and will not run at all. Also sucks up any smaller rug instantly and will not run very disappointing. I thought this was gonna be a much better vacuum on a rug where you need it the most. I don’t recommend this to anyone with rugs I will be returning because if I cant vacuum and ruin in my house what’s the point
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Dennis,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand how disappointing it is when the vacuum is difficult to use on area rugs, and we appreciate you letting us know. If you're finding it tough to push and pull the vacuum on carpets, it’s likely due to the strong suction power of your unit. To make it easier, you can switch to Eco Mode using the trigger under the handheld. Eco Mode still delivers powerful suction to meet your cleaning needs while being gentler on carpets and rugs and easier to maneuver.
I bought this vacuum to replace my Dyson, which I loved, but the plastic parts on it kept breaking. This vacuum has great reviews so when I saw a special deal at a local store, I grabbed it. I had had a cordless Shark before and didn't care for it because the handle felt flimsy. They have fixed that issue. While not as easily maneuverable as my Dyson, it does pick up 100x better. The sand and dog hair come up easily on the first pass and there is absolutely no grit left behind on my floor, even when I vacuum at a normal speed. The lights illuminate the floor well although I wish they were green so the debris would be even easier to see. The unit is significantly more quiet than my Dyson, something that my son with autism appreciates. The auto empty feature is great and it hasn't smelled, even after a week of dog hair. I do have a big issue with the battery life. The box touts 70 minutes but this is only when you are using just the canister and the hand tool. I am hard pressed to vacuum my 1800 sq ft house and that isn't including the 3 regular bedrooms.so I'm only getting about 15 minutes. This is a big part of the reason for my 3 star review.if the battery life were better, my rating would be higher. All in all, this is a good vacuum but it needs to so better to earn a higher rating, especially at this price

I love the vacuum but the auto empty base only has a 90 day warranty!!! Mine stopped working in first year. Also, dirt and dust somehow is collecting in the chamber as shown in the attached pictures. When I called Shark about the faulty base, I asked if this was norma and they acknowledged it should not look like that. Even family members have commented about how bad it looks. Again,I like the product but I guess I got a bad one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bought this product and was disappointed in the battery life also service support they were horrible Too many robot and when I got to a live person they don’t know what to do or help with the battery issues. They keep trying to go through unnecessary steps for clogged hose. Asking me to drop a penny down it. What the heck does that have to do with the battery. Only last like 5 to 7 mins. Needs a recharge.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I like this vacuum because of the automatic floor detection, revearse detection and most important, ability to change suction power while using it as a handheld. I tried a Shark corded stick vacuum and was not able to adjust the suction, which is very important with vacuuming small carpets, light dusting and smaller items. This vacuum allows me to adjust suction power during handheld mode and gives me good floor vacuuming performance. The clean station is a nice feature, not necessary but still nice. The ordor neutralizer is fantastic, not too strong and pleasant, too bad it wasn't installed on the vacuum itself like the Stratos version.
Love this product a lot.I feel some of them are a little more lightweight and easier to maneuver.That's why I only gave it a four, but I would buy to get in a heartbeat. I think it beats all of them as far as vacuum suction, and that's important
