Greater than one weekI have had an oreck vacuum for years and years. I love it for its cleaning power. BUT its loud and heavy. And you have to get it serviced every 2 years. Of course that may be the reason Ive had it for year and years. Plus did I mention that its loud. We live in a 2 story house now and I wanted a lightweight vacuum that I could easily lug up and down the stairs. Thus I thought Id try the shark. Overall, its extremely lightweight and maneuverable. I love that its also a reasonable decibel when you turn it on. The battery (I have the 50 min one) seems to last for me to do most of my downstairs (2000sq ft) as long as I am efficient. Its cleaning power, however, is not ideal. Anything over basic dust and dirt just gets pushed around. With kids in the house, this mean tiny pieces of paper or leaves or grass or pencil erasers or lego pieces, just get pushed around. I think this vacuum is better designated as a sweeper than a true vacuum. Its fine for when the dog drags in dirt oo the kids soccer cleats drop something, but as the way to clean my entire floor - not so much. And on carpets, again its more a sweeper than a vacuum to clean. Im pretty disappointed b/c now I have 3 vacuums to deal with and store and I had been hoping this purchase would consolidate. Guess its time to take the Oreck to be serviced again since Im not getting rid of it any time soon.

> 3 dayIve only used it a few times. Seems to have a good suction. I used my Cordless Shark on carpet and wood flooring. I havent used any of the attachments yet but they seem like they will work good. My only complaint is that it wont stand up on its own. I have to lay it down or take it with me while moving stuff from in front of it.

> 3 dayIt works very well. Even with Cat and dog hair. I would recommend getting an extra battery. If your doing any kind of deep cleaning, you get about 45 minutes on a full charge.

> 3 dayI have 5 cats - 2 of them are older Maine Coons who have long hair and at the age where it sheds easily. I also have long hair. I got really tired of sweeping my downstairs twice a day from cat litter, etc. All but my bedroom downstairs has the fake wood flooring (no better way to describe it). In recent years, Ive owned two Dyson Ball vacuums and neither have ever worked well and have needed frequent repairs. Ive also owned a Shark Rocket vacuum and while it was easier to maneuver, the hose just below the floor attachment cracked and duct tape wouldnt cut it anymore. So.... I bought this one on Black Friday this past November. I really didnt care that one of the accessory attachments was missing - hardly use those anyway. Using this twice a day has made my upper arm chronically sore, but still easier than sweeping morning and night. Pros: it did what I wanted it to do and made my daily cleaning a lot easier, (other than the sore arm!). It sits nicely up close against a wall and easy to keep charged. Its also true that hair does NOT get wrapped around the brushes! I got very tired of having to cut out the hair every time I used my other Shark Rocket vac. Cons: One of the same reasons I hated my Dyson vacs, getting the hair out of the canister requires using my hands to sweep or pull it out. All the filters in the world in bagless vacuums are useless when you end up attempting to empty the canister! Plus the cat litter forms a powder that leaves a residue in the canister. Also, hair wound around the tiny front wheels in the first couple of uses and is virtually impossible to get back off. I dont even think they can turn anymore and its been less than 2 months since I started using this machine. The bigger back wheels also squeak now. While the vacuum has plenty of suction power to pick up litter, cat food crumbs, etc., it will only do so when vacuuming forwards. Pulling the vacuum backwards, causes these things to be spit back out. I have yet to take this machine upstairs where I have all carpet. It does fine in the one room downstairs, so Im not sure how it would do running it longer upstairs (still use one of my Dysons up there). So, my review is incomplete. Like I said, its also only been 2 months since I purchased this. This is my first cordless vacuum and I love the cordless factor. Its definitely kept my floors downstairs much cleaner than just sweeping (cut down on need to mop, which I hate) and my bedroom carpet has been much easier to keep under control, because its much easier to use than my previous vacuum cleaners. However, with all the issues already present (especially with the wheels), its questionable how long this thing will last. Well have to wait and see, I guess.

> 3 dayI have been looking for a cordless vac for awhile now and happened across this one on Prime Days. I already own a Shark corked vacuum that I am extremely happy with I just have been so tired working around that blasted power cord. Naturally, the first concern going to cordless is if it’s going to have the same power as a corded vacuum and I just got done with my first use of this and I was not disappointed. It was so nice to be able to just grab it and go and not have to move the power cord around to get different areas of the floor vacuumed. The debris storage compartment for everything that has been vacuumed up is equal to that of my corded Shark vacuum too. Overall, at this point, I’m am very pleased with my purchase. I foresee me getting my vacuum out more often now that I can just grab it and go

> 3 day6 months ago I was looking for a cordless vacuum that could tackle all the shedding my dog, longhair cat and my boyfriend and I have and this has worked great! Its got really good suction and decent battery life too. It’s crazy how much it picks up even when you think your floors are clean. It has gotten clogged a couple times but thats mostly due from me trynna vaccumm up something I shouldn’t have. My only complaint is it states it comes with 4 attatchments yet I only received two.

> 3 dayI had high hopes for this vacuum. Shark is my go to brand for vacuums. This holds a charge to vacuum the whole house, which isn’t huge. At first the auction power was great. After a month or so, it is merely average. We have two furry dogs and although it does pick up the dog hair, it doesn’t always suck it into the canister. It gets caught at the vacuum head hole to the stick. Also the stick doesn’t stay tight fitting. It becomes loose. If I want a quick way to vacuum in a pinch I use this. If I want to be certain I have vacuumed the floors thoroughly, I use my real vacuum.

> 3 dayOverall, its a nice vacuum and great for hair given the squeegy style roller. But, wont stand on its own so storing isnt great. Also, unlike other Shark vacs I have, there is no front roller for against walls so misses about an inch near walls.

> 3 dayThis is light weight, lasts a decent amount of time between charging and is great for spot cleaning the floors, both carpet and hard settings. If you have a lot of pets, you will have to empty the container more often, but it keeps the house looking clean.

> 3 dayI’ve only had this vacuum since last week so hopefully nothing goes wrong after posting this review, but so far I’m extremely pleased and happy with it. I had to return a different brand one because it quit working after a couple weeks and was on the lookout for a good quality one that didn’t cost an arm and a leg like some do. When I saw this one on sale, I decided to try it out. It really is great. The suction is awesome, the battery lasts long enough to do my entire 1,500 sq. foot house without even dying after I’m finished. I love that it has so many attachment pieces with it. Something I really wanted in a cordless vacuum was something strong enough to pick up dog food pieces and this does it with ease. I use it on both my wood flooring and my carpet. It works well with each and has different power settings on it. Heads up, it doesn’t come with a mount or stand. It says there’s a way to hang the head of it I think, but haven’t been able to figure it out yet. I just prop it against the trim of my wall because it won’t stay upright on its own. This is the least of my worries because it works so good. One other thing is if it starts to spit back out everything and not pick it up, make sure to remember to unscrew the piece on the very bottom of the vacuum head because it will get clogged and stop sucking up. I learned about this with my large corded Shark vacuum. Hope this helps anyone trying to decide!
