    Purchased this based on a friends advice and love it. It is so easy to use and cleans the floor so well. I like the easy way to empty it also. I would definitely purchase again.

    Owned this for about 4 weeks now or so. Love it. The auto feature is nice when going over different types of surfaces (wood, rugs, etc.). Really like the auto empty stand. Emptying my old dyson into the trash can always seemed to create a small mess.

    Have had this vacuum for a little over 6 months now. I will be returning it. It was disappointing. Suction is low, battery runs out before I'm completed cleaning. I do like not having a cord and the stand is nice to have. 2 stars - will go back to a regular corded shark - I loved my old shark, this one not so much.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Posted .

      Hello there, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that the suction and battery life on your Power Detect vacuum haven’t met your expectations, especially after using it for just over six months. That’s definitely not the experience we want for our customers. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the cordless design and stand, but we understand how frustrating it is when performance doesn’t match what you need. We’d love the chance to troubleshoot the suction and battery concerns, or we can look into warranty options for you. Please feel free to reach out to our customer support team at 1-855-427-5127 (Monday to Friday: 9 AM to 9 PM ET and Saturday: 9 AM to 6 PM ET). We’re here to help make this right. Kind Regards, Shark Clean

    I honestly love this vacuum. It’s easy to use and the feature is a little judgy, in the sense that you will know when an area of your house isn’t clean. However, when you see the indication that it is clean … it’s pure joy :-)

    I got this for my wife because shes been begging for a new vacuum and we both fell in love with it. We love the way its able to bend and get underneath the couch without having to lift it up, I wish we would’ve bought it sooner.

    Extremely powerful vacuum for a cordless. This thing is a game changer. I like the storage apparatus and the emptying feature. It’s a great alternative to more expensive brands and outperforms them as well.

    Love the convenience. Battery goes dead if I go crazy and try to do a large house clean with it. But it is great for touch up’s on the hard floors. Definitely noticed it takes a lot more power to vacuum carpet.
