Shark® CZ351 Canister Pet Bagless Corded Vacuum in Navy/Silver

Probably a safety feature for the vacuum to shut off to keep the motor from over heating but I can't vacuum a full room without it shutting off 8 times. Rather annoying. I've gone thru all the trouble shooting to see if something was stuck in the machine but couldn't find anything. I a sending back.

Our first canister vacuum and we like it. Love the light on the front as well as the retractable cord. It is easy to empty and does a great job.

So far as I can see the vacuum is performing as advertised; great on the dog hair and we have 3 GSD's.

Let me start this review by saying that I have purchased and used a lot of vacuums in my day. For the last couple of years I’ve been using the Shark Vertex Powered lift away. I love that machine, but still missed having a canister. I had been seeing the Shark Canister Pet vacuum advertised on line and a couple days ago decided to purchase, and I’m so glad I did. The first thing I noticed when trying it out for the first time was how powerful it is. The suction power is unbelievable. I also love that it has 3 speeds of suction power. The beater brush has two speeds. Low and high. High is recommended for carpet while low is recommended for hardwood floors. The power head has fins mixed with bristles and does an excellent job at removing dust and dirt from floors. My favorite thing about this vacuum is how lightweight it is. I literally can pick the canister up by its handle with one finger. The controls for this vacuum are conveniently located on the handle. This particular canister vacuum comes with two attachments. A decent sized crevice tool and a nice upholstery tool. The power head comes with the unit as well. I tried my attachments from my vertex lift away and they fit and work with the canister! The canister glides on 4 caster wheels and moves great. It also has a 25 ft retractable cord. The Shark Canister Pet is a high quality vacuum that’s lightweight and easy to maneuver. I give this vacuum an A+! In my humble opinion Shark makes the best household vacuums on the market today! I truly love all three of my Shark vacuums, and wouldn’t want any other vacuum! Thank you Shark for making a canister vacuum, and for making my household vacuuming chore easier to tackle!

We have been Dyson people for a while, but when we needed a new vacuum I wanted to give this shark model a try since it had decent reviews. This has been a terrible vacuum and I regret not going with another dyson option. The suction on the vacuum is terrible and it does not work on any rug that is higher than a low pile rug (advertised as having multi-pile options). The option between rug to hard floor is glitchy and doesn't always change over when I select the correct option.

Vacuum works well but I’m worried about how long that will last because of the hose. Instead of a heavy duty rubber, it’s plastic and kinks easily. Not sure how long it’ll last.

I bought this about 3 months ago. Always used upright stick vacs. Pros- This is much lighter. Easier for me to maneuver. The vac head is a little less wide. But it fits in more spaces, under the couch, in between the toilet and trash can. The cord has a rewind button love this. I hate cords. Good suction and attachments. Still have an issue with the attachments coming off though when I’m trying to use the stick part. Also the hose does easily get twisted, pinched and stuck to itself. The cord gets caught under the wheels sometimes which can be a little frustrating. But I love the suction levels and the ability to adjust it at the handle. Plus the on/off button on the canister at foot level also.

I have only used it a couple of times, but I like it.
