> 3 dayThis vacuum cleaner does its job well. It is light to use and handles hair well. It is equipped with an extra brush for hard floors, which additionally polishes it. Highly recommended

> 3 dayI upgraded my Shark Navigator True Pet to the Apex and I love the new rollers. They stay hair free for a while and are very easy to get to when I have to clean them. One of the rollers is kinda fuzzy and its perfect for hard floors because it actually sweeps up the dust that other vacuums cant pick up because its technically not debris. My only issue is that its not a smooth ride. My forearms get quite a workout pushing this thing around. The swivel is not as easy as my last two sharks.

> 3 dayI like my sharp. I love the fact it cleans carpet and hardwood/ linoleum. The suction could be a little more powerful but its agility and ability to separate from the base makes up for it. I havent used it for my dog yet but with the air filter I can tell the difference just after cleaning a room.

> 3 dayI ordered this vacuum five years ago and it still runs perfectly!! We are very hard on vacuums in our home. I have three dogs, one of which is a German shepherd-Great Pyrenees mix who sheds nonstop. [Pic included to showcase his cuteness and mass amount of fur that I’m vacuuming daily! I’m talking big huge chunks of fur.] Additionally, we live in a 3700 square-foot house that is made up of hardwood floors and carpeting. This vacuum is fantastic. Never once had any issue with it. I love the suction power of it, how easy it is to clean and the light on the cover of the beater bar. The light is especially fantastic when it’s a little bit dark out and you can really see how filthy your floor is and how well the vacuum works. I highly recommend this product. You will not be disappointed!

> 3 dayI love this vaacuum, granted our old one wasnt working well, but I can not believe all the stuff this has picked up and betweeen my long hair and the dog, none of it is wrapped around the roller.. love it. I do find it a tad heavy to push around, but worth the effort.

> 3 dayIncredible suction on both tile floors and carpet. Coming from central vacuum system it’s a little heavy but worth it. Bedroom carpet looked like it had been shampooed. Highly recommend this vacuum.

> 3 dayFor the past fifteen or more years I have used a Bissell Pet something or other vacuum. I have replaced it three times and each time I always thought about going with a different brand, but just decided to keep going forward with the Bissell. I use our vacuum a lot. Sometimes three times per day. I have severe allergies and we have two huge dogs and we dog sit. I vacuum constantly. Last month our last Bissell started to lose suction. The hand tools had long ago stopped working and I knew I was going to need to start shopping for a new vacuum soon, I was just procrastinating because I hate vacuum shopping. Everyone thinks their brand is the best. My parents have both a Miele and a Shark. My brother has a Hoover. The Internet has Dyson. Ugh. I spent hours and hours watching videos and reading reviews and I finally settled on this Shark Apex because Bob Villa said it was probably the best bet. A lot of other people also said it was a solid choice, but I like Bob and I trust him. Shark has so many different models and features that it was confusing as heck deciding which vacuum I needed. For those of you wondering, our house is mostly hardwood and tile with a few rugs. This vacuum has a switch for hardwood, short carpet and shag carpet. The brushes move on all three settings. We paid the extra money to get the hand tools because we have dog beds that need daily attention. First off, I love this stupid vacuum. I had no idea how poorly my Bissell was actually working until I swept my house with the Shark. I was disgusted and amazed all at once. The swivel head was super annoying and I just finally am getting adjusted to it after a full week of daily use. If you only vacuum once per week, give the swivel some time, you will grow to like it. The suction on this vacuum is crazy. If our Aussies fluffy rugs would fit in the canister I would have sucked them up at least ten times over now. The hand wand - not the long wand, but the short tool that comes off the top of the handle - is the best vacuum shortcut Ive ever used. Most vacuums you need to take the hose out from the side, while this one has a button and it just comes from the top. It is so easy. If you need a taller wand, simply disconnect from further down. As we paid extra for the tools, I can connect the upholstery tool to easily vacuum the dogs beds and rugs. Its a snap. Everything comes apart and goes back together so easily. Our last vacuum did not have lights and my husband always complained about this and I never understood why. Now I understand why. Having lights on this vacuum is amazing. I can see when Im trying to get all the little crevices of our senior girls bed clean or when Im trying to clean behind the fridge. Having a light on the front of the main vacuum illuminates any white dog hairs on our wood floors, so I dont miss anything. I seriously love it. I hesitated on a Shark vacuum for years because I was skeptical of the brand. If this vacuum holds up I will be a convert. As of now, I love this vacuum.

> 3 dayI bought this to replace an older vacuum—does a much better job! I love the latch to remove the dust it opens from the bottom meaning you dont breath in all the dust that collets from the top. Really good suction—again, does a much better job than our old vacuum. Very happy with the purchase, shark vacuums are great.

> 3 dayImmediate first impressions: Cons: heavier than I expected and doesn’t turn as easily as I thought it would. Sort of reminded me of an old fashioned vacuum based on bulkiness. Pros: picks up amazing on hard floors, carpet and rugs. I love the light on it, it really helps to show what you don’t see. Overall, I am happy with my purchase. Of course everything will have cons, I was looking for a good vacuum for my new house and this will be a perfect fit!
