This came yesterday and I’m happy with it. It had to charge for a while before I could use it, but it was ready to go after a couple hours. It’s super light and it’s nice not to have a cord getting in the way. The charge doesn’t last more than 15-20 mins, but I’m completely fine with the vacuum telling me we’re done. It’s suction is good on the bare and carpet floor. Emptying the dust bin was easy. All in all, I’m happy with the purchase considering I got a nice discount on it.

This replaces my old corded unit. The battery last longer than I need to clean all of our runners and area rugs. Having two speeds has been a blessing for the lightweight runners that the previous unit would pick up off the floor, requiring a second person to stand on the corners. After a week of cleaning up after three dogs, it has worked perfectly.

Yes, I did just say that. Because this is the best vacuum ever. I don't want to say this vacuum changed my life, because that sounds incredibly pathetic, but it kind of did. I am pretty sure I have vacuumed more in the last month than I have in my entire life. I show it to people when they come to visit and give them demonstrations. Not kidding. My husband saw his parents using it and when he came home from visiting them, the first thing we did was go out and buy this vacuum. I was skeptical. Every other vacuum I've ever encountered was heavy, awkward, inconvenient, tangly, frustrating, hard to store, and broke the minute you looked at it. It didn't matter what you spent on it--a lot or a little--it was still awful. I had given up on ever finding any vacuum that was not awful. This vacuum is aptly named. I am "free" to pick it up at any time with no janky cord in my way! It doesn't cramp my "style" because it is easy-to-use and maneuver, and super light to carry around, even up and down stairs. It is very "sucky"! I can't believe all the stuff I clean out of the bagless bag (which is effortless to clean out, just unclip it from the vacuum and then open the compartment and dump everything in it into the trash--so easy!!) each time I run it through the house. The charge lasts quite a while. We have a three bedroom home with both carpet and non-carpet floors, and I can do a quick vacuum of the whole house on a single charge. The charging stand is sleek and does not get in the way, whether or not the vacuum is on it. My husband and I both have long hair and we have several cats, but it's easy to cut off any hair that gathers around the roller--no unscrewing things or wrangling with taking things apart--and it gathers cat hair like you wouldn't believe. I use it daily to keep the kitchen crumb-free and around the areas of our cats' litterboxes and food dishes, and every few days around the whole house. We still have a super intense vacuum for occasional "deep vacuuming," but on a daily/weekly/casual basis, this vacuum is the bomb (yes, I also just said that), especially because it is such a good price. We paid $100 for ours and have said numerous times that it's the best $100 we've ever spent. The only thing I wish is that I could vacuum my furniture with it. I might be able to and just don't know it; I haven't really looked at accessories yet. I'd better go! I'm sure there's a crumb on the kitchen floor that needs the attention of me and my awesome Shark Navigator Freestyle. *flies away, cape billowing out behind her* ---- Edit 5/26/14 - I have an update that I thought I should share with everyone. Sadly, my beloved vacuum died a tragic death a few weeks ago while we were on vacation. Since the last person to use it was our housesitter, I do not know the exact circumstances of its death, but I mourned. I wanted to say, though, that this in no way diminished my love of this vacuum. No vacuum lasts forever, and this one lasted for eight months with near daily use. To replace it, we tried another, more expensive, swankier cordless stick vacuum and it was truly awful (check my other reviews if you want to know which one it was). We returned that one, and I came right here and ordered another of this one. I used it this morning, and all is right with the world again. Best vacuum ever and at $100 it's a steal. I shall never stray from it again!! Honestly, I am thinking of buying a spare of this vacuum in case they decide to stop making it.

I love this for a quick sweep. Great suction, even for dog hair and bird seed. Very lightweight. I have difficulty with normal, heavy sweepers, so I bought this when it was on sale and I love it.

What a great machine. Floors, carpet, and what a great price. Easy to empty cannister, awesome having no cord. I had an Oreck for years, which is also good, but heavy, corded, and needed the bags. Also, the SHARK WAND VAC is also unbelievable, I have had many friends and family purchase one after trying mine. Bottom line, SHARK products will not disappoint

I've had this vacuum for over a month and overall it does its job well. At times I use it just to pick up something on the floor and I end up running it over the carpet and hallway...and the amount of dirt it picks up is amazing (and a bit shocking). With two dogs this is a very good accessory to help deal with their fluff and dirt. The only downside is the charging light, which sounds strange, but it is so bright I have to remember to remove the vacuum from the charger when it's fully charged or the light literally lights up the whole area where the charger is. I've moved it to different locations and then just decided to remove the vacuum from the base after it's fully charged so the light goes out. Problem solved.

Light weight and easy to operate and clean. I hv small apartment and it's perfect for that as far as battery charge time concerned.
