This has much stronger suction than my battery powered stick vacuum. It is even good on carpeting and great on vinyl tile flooring. Also good for picking up dog hair.

Works really well. Good suctioning power.

This is perfection. I have a hairy lab and this is helping immensely. Easy to use and gets the job done quickly.

Shark is powerful , something you dont get with battery operated machinesthey are great for light duty, but nothing beats a corded vac for heavy duty or long haul workas the suction is soooo much greater...this Shark realllly screams quality and does an amazing job cleaning with just ONE pass, which I never get with my Dysons....love the odor neutralizer! The headlight is impressive, you can see if the carpet is clean and the way this thing pivots is truly amazing for getting around corners tight spots, under things, etc. The dust bin removal, simple and effective, easy to clean....ahhhh, I am having a hard time trying to find a flaw here....the attachments turnning it into a hand operated unit,m or crevice tool for long reach, just impressive....5 stars, no flaws here, amazing machine at 1/3rd the price of a dyson cordless.....

Super light weight but performs like a full size vacuum. I've been a Dyson customer for years but Shark has won me over with this one!

I rarely use the cored vacuum but man, this vacuum has STRONG suction! I owned Dyson cordless vacuum before and now I use Tineco cordless vacuum for everyday use. Once I vacuum with this Shark vacuum, it sucks more cat hairs than my Tineco one. I have 2 cats and this vacuum does the job wonderfully! Get this vacuum if you have pets or just simply like to enjoy your spotless home.

This vacuum is awesome.It sucks up cat liter and pet hair like it's nothing. It does corners great. I find it does better if you go into the corner front first, it swivels and can get anywhere, It has a decent size canister to hold quite a bit. We vacuum every dayIt has a super long cord. It's not quiet, but not loud. I think you'll appreciate that because of the suction power. However, it's not really light.You will not go wrong with purchasing this vacuum. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the power. It's very easy to put together, took me 60 seconds.I also own a Dyson but this vacuum has a better suction, who would have thought!

Very nice vacuum. Its very light and easy to use. My wife has used the heck out of it in just a few weeks. She literally vacuums 3x+ per week. You got to do that when you have kids and pets. I understand the class of vacuums this falls in, but the dirt compartment is a little small for me. She will need to empty it before finishing "1 round" of vacuuming. But we do have a big house, so maybe I'm the outlier. At least it is very easy to take off, empty, and put back on.

My husband uses this everyday. We have laminate flooring in a small temporary home at a farm that we bought. It is amazing how much dirt gets into the house daily. This little vacuum is perfect for that type of job. Great for rugs that are too large and bulky for the washing machine. This is really a great item. Now its' capacity is not large, so either use it for smaller rooms or empty it often.

My first impression is that the suction is great. I used it on one set of carpeted stairs, and about 5-6 sq ft of carpeted floor and there was about 3 cups of stuff sucked up.It has some nice attachments and can store compactly. You can also remove the upright extension and mount the motor (which is in the handle) to the rotary part of the vacuum. This makes use on stairways even easier.Note that I wouldn't recommend it for your main/only vacuum. The vacuum width is narrow and is a little awkward to maneuver. But for my needs, mostly on stairs, it will be great.UPDATE: My wife loves this vacuum so much that she HAS been using it as our main vacuum in a 2,500 square foot home.
