Customer Ratings & Reviews

Have been using Shark handvacs for a long time and they do what they say they will do. This model has better suction and stays charged for quite a bit longer than some of the earlier models.

This ended up being better that I expected. The attachments do an amazing job picking up cat hair off the furniture. It is great as a car vac too.

I previously had a Dyson hand held which I loved but it got old and damaged. The Shark is much cheaper than the Dyson, and on first use I thought I would like it just as well. Eventually I discovered, as others have, that the filter in the Shark clogs fairly easily and must be cleaned frequently. This is a pain, but need more time with it to conclude whether the extra maintenance was worth the lower price.

I bought the hand vac to use in the car. The attachments provide a different experience of vacuuming. The suction power is not as strong as I expected. However, it gets the job done.

My wife and I were looking for a "mess eraser" smaller than our vacuum. I'd used a friends Dyson handheld and thought we'd look for something similar. I didn't love the Dyson and we are already fans of Shark products (we currently use a Shark vacuum). We saw this at Best Buy while looking for something else. Seemed like we'd found what we'd been looking for. Fortunately, it works great! Excellent suction, nice variety of accessories, and a convenient wall caddy to hold it all. We love the small size. Great for spilled snacks from our toddler, loose hair from our dogs, or a quick touchup around our cars. My wife even uses it on our carpeted stair case and says it does just as well as the upright (without all the heavy lifting). Highly recommend!

The suction is superior, and the convenient is a real plus. The device takes up little space in its base and stands ready whenever needed. This vacuum is a real household asset!

Price Match if you can. We only use the vacuum for our pomeranian who sheds a lot and it does a great job of picking up dog hair especially with the brush. We don't use for extended periods of time (usually a minute at most) so I can't verify battery life, but has very good suction. Docking station is nice to have as well. The only gripes I have are that it is pretty loud and the side vent is pretty strong and can kick up what you're trying vacuum in the first place. Overall a great vacuum, would recommend!

We have three cats and two dogs. Keeping up with the hair is a chore that the vac makes easy. Very good on the couch and hardwood floors. We use it several times a week.

Works great for pet hair and the stuff all my little dogs track inside!! I would definitely buy this product again for a friend or family member with dogs or cats !

I bought for my sister and when she opened and used it, she was amazed at how powerful it was. I used it and agreed and bought one for myself. Extremely powerful and picks up almost anything, compact but very useful.

We have been using this item for roughly a month and has performed well. The suction and attachements work great on different stuff from kid crumbs under the table to dog hair from our lab on the rug. I originally bought this so my kids, 4 and 2, could help me while I vacuumed, which they try but it is a little heavy for the little one. My only complaint would be that is seems to take a while to charge, but that is really minimal. Overall we use it frequently and it works well.

This is the second vac I've had in this exact model, SV780 N1 14. This vac has exceptional suction! Coupled with the beater brush head, it pulls every last speck of dirt from my car mats and house door mats. The additional crevice tool gets into the edges to finish the job. The only down sides are the dust raised when emptying out the dust cup and filter, and the battery life issue. I keep the unit plugged in when not in use, and after about a year or so, I lost a great deal of power. Replacing the battery would have run about $47 including shipping, and a brand new unit cost about $10 more, so I opted to get a whole new unit. Gladly would have replaced the battery if it would have run $10-20! Battery technology is what it is! Great item - hope they have it available in another 18 months when I'm ready for another one!

This is a powerful hand vac that definitely does the job of picking up all sorts of items off all types of flooring! The attachments work well. I empty it every time I use it and then wash the filter. It's kept charged all the time so that it can be used at a moment's notice. The only thing that could be better is the length of the charge.

it has good suction and decent life on a single charge. but the rounded design of the tip is awkward for aiming at your targets. also when you go to dump out the dirt you will leave some dirt and dust right near the motor intake because of the way the filter and seal are burried down into the forward section a couple inches, so when you take that out for emptying you'll get some dirt back behind the seal line. My last vacuum had that seal line right at the very back of the removable forward section so this would not occur. I image over time this dirt will make its way into the motor and cause issues.

I loved mine that I bought one for my sister as a gift. Her kids loved it cuz they can use it to clean up their small messes without having to lug out the big vacuum

Has attachments that make it handy, useful and efficient in all situations. We have had a great Shark Handvac in the past and this one seems to be living up to the name "Shark."

I was using it for my car instead of a pet vacuum. Suction is great just don't have a longer attachment for in-between the seats and the manufacturer doesn't make them.

I use this vac for just about every clean up in the kitchen and family room. Has good suction and all the necessary attachments.

I have owned a variety of handheld vacuum cleaners, and this one is EXCEPTIONAL!! Not only does it have the power to remove pet hair, it comes with a rotating brush, crevice tool, and brush attachment, all of which can be stored in the upright charging unit!! Even better, the charging unit can be placed on a flat surface or mounted on the wall!! Again, an EXCEPTIONAL product!!!!

I have had multiple hand held vacuums that don’t pick up anything. I found this ranked high on consumer reports and gave it a try. Works great for vacuuming the car, around my fire place, in my shop in the garage, and on my basement steps. Lasts about 20 min of continuous use. Much better than the dust devil of the same cost that I bought, then gave to good will.
