The vacuum worked well for 3 weeks, then I picked up the power head and heard a snap sound. Afterwards the power head no longer sat at an angle when picked up and would instead hang straight down limply.
I contacted Shark support assuming they would cover an internal part failure after just three weeks but they told me it would not be covered. I pointed out I was a loyal customer of multiple other Shark/Ninja products and they made an offer for 50% off a replacement. Again, I said no given that it broke immediately and they should cover it. I said I would file a complaint with Amazon or start a credit card charge back instead.
At this point they offered the unit for free but I would cover the cost of shipping. I ended up taking that since it was less hassle than continuing to fight. However I am disappointed that the company would make a customer go that far over a mechanical defect on a $400 product less than a month after purchase.
Long story short, the unit worked well when new but if it breaks you can’t rely on Shark to help you out.

We bought this vacuum to replace a eufy HomeVac Duo 2-in-1 Cordless Vacuum with the intent for using it in a similar manner – to handle quick vacuum jobs around the house – primarily on hardwood. To our surprise the Shark not only performs very well on the hardwood, as expected, but is powerful enough to handle our carpets, which are rather thick and challenging. Even the LED light on the front is a nice added touch and helped us see and pick up more dust and dirt.
The Shark is simple overall – with a sleek design that is minimal, which makes storing it very easy – we are easily able to store this between our washer and dryer in our bathroom, nice and tucked away, but very accessible in a moments notice. Check out the first picture – the motor comes off and hooks to the bottom of the stick/vacuum head to self balance and makes for compact storage.
We have a small dog and 2 women in our house – so removing hair from vacuum cleaner heads has become something we are used to having to do every couple months. I was amazed the Shark has NO HAIR tangled in the vacuum head after 40 minutes of vacuuming, which would normally result in a tangled hair mess with the eufy. See the 2nd picture – this shows you what the vacuum head looks like after 40 minutes of vacuuming – not one hair!
The attachments that come with the Shark are very convenient and easy to snap on and off – making it easy to reach tight spaces, vacuum couches, etc. In addition the ability to attach the vacuum head directly to the motor allows us to vacuum the stairs with ease. The vacuum head is the perfect width for the stairs and it made a once tedious and annoying job easy. The 3rd picture shows the 2 setting the Shark has; one for bare floors and then ramped up power and a spinning vacuum head for carpet.
You cannot go wrong for the price – especially if you find yourself dealing with a vacuum hair always snarled in hair. You will be impressed by the power, ease of use, and overall convenience of the Shark. The only thing you may be wanting bit more of it battery life – as you find yourself getting carried away with the ease of use. Happy vacuuming!

This is a great vacuum. Does a very good job. A little too heavy on top, but manageable.

Pros.
Fantastic with long hair as well as plastic strips, lint and similar stringy objects that can clog other vacuums.
Works well on carpets and floors.
Stands up straight against a wall.
Great battery life.
Good solid build quality.
Looks good.
Doesn’t choke on debris nearly as easily as other models we’ve had.
Cleans cup fairly easily
Attachments are worth it
Easily and smoothly swap and re-attach attachments
Can upgrade/add an extra battery if you have a Really large area to clean.
High power mode can actually remove some types of stuck on dirt too.
Cons.
Default Suction could be better but high power mode is good.
On the heavy side.
Cup may possibly not be equal to battery life (minor)
Wish more companies can make solid products like this.

Skip to bottom for breakdown on pros and cons. Overall good suctions. Just misleading on some things like battery life and bristles. So that’s why I’m only giving it 4 stars since it’s a nearly $300 vacuum. Suction seems overall really good as of now, but does have bristles (that was a big thing for me for the hardwood floors), and battery life only runs for around 20 minutes when using it as a vacuum, it only lasts (via the manual) for 40 minutes when using it handheld. UPDATE: I vacuumed my whole house (all hardwoods & is roughly 1500 sq ft) without the battery dying. So that definitely was a good thing. Satisfied with that! Also hook your crevice tool, or other tools to the part that attaches to the head, and Bam you have a long crevice tool that can get pretty much anywhere!
I received the vacuum today, and I will update review as I go if I need to. First impression was the box was simple. Looked very generic, and I wished it had an actual name instead of just model number. I also thought it would only have powerfins and no bristles since that’s how it’s pictured and advertised. IT HAS BRISTLES. They feel soft, and I’m watching how they do on my LVP flooring but that’s very misleading because I thought it was going to be just a soft silicone fin. I’m scared it’s going to scratch my flooring. It’s overall very light, and nice sleek look to it. I used it as soon as I got it for about 10 minutes on the LVP flooring I have. It sucked up pet hair and dirt that I couldn’t even see. Worked great. I’m very satisfied with the suction so far. I did plug it in to charge after it died (before the initial charge), and it has now been 2 hours and it still isn’t fully charged. I do wish it had quicker charging. So I decided to glance through the manual to make sure I’m doing everything right. In the manual, it states with hand vac it works for up to 40 minutes, but only 25 mins on bare floor, and only 20 mins during carpet mode. If you’re using the boost (it has a boost button which is nice) vac with handheld it only works for 10 minutes on a full battery. So I would say it would only last in boost mode for about 12 minutes on bare floors, and probably less on carpet since it’s half the time almost from the hand vac times. I do wished the battery life was longer, and it’s misleading when it says the vacuum lasts around 40 minutes on a full battery. I knew it wouldn’t always last 40 minutes with different modes and flooring, but I didn’t think using the actual vacuum in standard mode on hardwoods would cut that time in almost half, to 25 minutes. Disappointed in that. I do like the design, the boost button (hate how much time it cuts off the run time before the battery dies), and I think it does a good job overall with suction this far. I also love the LED lights. I think it’s a pretty good vacuum. Wished it would come with two batteries so you could charge one and have a backup. I have an almost 1500 square foot house with all LVP flooring & a dog that sheds. So I will definitely be testing this out over the next days to get accurate timing myself.
Breakdown is —
Pros:
1. The style/design is sleek
2. Easy empty container
3. Boost mode button
4. Powerfins (it does have bristles though. Pics are misleading)
5. Good suction this far
6. LED lights
7. Can change battery out (only comes with 1 though)
8. Pretty easy and convenient storage
Cons:
1. Battery life (states 40 mins but that’s for hand vac, only 25 mins for bare floor and 20 carpets)
2. Charging time — it’s been over 2 hours and it still isn’t fully charged.
3. Has bristles, does have powerfins — but pictures makes it look like it doesn’t have bristles and only has powerfins. It has both. This was one of the main reasonings I ordered this one was because I felt like it was safer on my flooring.
4. No “name” — just a model number. And the packaging looks generic. Not like an almost $300 vacuum. Came in a cardboard box, with the vacuum inside a plain white box.

Less suction than I expected, but it gets the job done. Compared to other sealed systems, I think the price is fair. It probably won’t replace my corded vacuum, but works well for quick clean ups.

Took care of the dog hair – no negative issues.
