Great for home with pets and smaller spaces!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum being so versatile has been ideal for our apartment living!! Having it transform and having modular modes is great for vacuuming the floor and above it as well. We have a golden retriever and cat who live in a perpetual shedding contest and since using this vacuum it seems like neither is winning!! The auto-evacuation of the stick mode is also one of the coolest home tech features I’ve ever seen.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Impressive vacuum

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum is impressive. I vacuumed my area rug yesterday with my old vacuum. I just re-vacuumed with the shark transformer and the amount of dirt and hair that was missed was extreme. It maneuvers so smoothly around corners and under furniture providing easier access to problem areas. Nobody likes to vacuum but this vacuum definitely makes my life easier and cleaner.

Effective, Efficient, & Powerful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never thought I could actually like vacuuming until I used this!! The PowerDetect Transformer vacuum has been an absolute joy to clean with. I spend about 1/5 the time vacuuming than with my old shop vac, and I am left with a deeper and easier clean. It's lightweight, easy to maneuver, and I love how it automatically switches between suction power and type depending on the floor. The design makes it super easy to use as a handheld vacuum to get into tighter spaces or places you couldn't otherwise with the full vacuum-this was really effective for me in my kitchen drawers and car. Gross, but it was really satisfying to see it picking up so much dust and even better that emptying it was intuitive and mess free. I know my house and floors are going to be infinitely cleaner in a fraction of the time now that I have the Shark PowerDetect

Just buy it!

I never knew I could feel so strongly about a vacuum, but after using this one, wow-I'm in love! I'll never be able to buy a basic vacuum again. My upright and stuck vacuum were on their last leg, so I bought this to replace both. The 3-in-1 is a game changer!
Top features: extra suction boost when it senses it's near an edge or wall, auto floor detection to smoothly get what you need between carpet and bare floors, the blue light when you're on hard floors shows you dust you would never otherwise see, smooth transitions between the 3 different vacuums, auto canister dump after clicking handheld or stick back into canister, propel assist when on carpet, no more hair wrapped around the roller, and more! Even though I had just had all the floors cleaned with my robot vacuum, I went ahead and vacuumed every floor in the entire house after I opened this from the package because I loved it so much. I was amazed at the amount of dust and dirt it had collected from what I thought were clean floors. I'm a fan!

Worst Vacuum Ever
on August 19, 2026
Posted by: German Shepherd Mom2
I bought this a little over 30 days ago and have used it many, many times before coming to this review. And now I can officially say this is the worst vacuum I have ever owned!! The suction is terrible. The features it highlights are only available in a single mode. You are forced to use the bulkiest mode for the reveal and detect and edge cleaning. I can super slow vacuum for 20 minutes and then go back over it with an older model and still pick up a canister full of dust and dog hair. When using as a stick or handheld there is no visibility as to when it's full so you constantly have to stop and empty. But the empty doesn't really work so I'm always having to unclog it as well. The only thing that actually works is the hairwrap. I truly dislike this vacuum and regret the purchase.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
