Vacuum shuts off
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.
Nice vacuum!
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.
GREAT VACUUM!
So far as I can see the vacuum is performing as advertised; great on the dog hair and we have 3 GSD's.
The best canister vacuum I’ve owned!
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!
Terrible Vacuum
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.
Hose
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.
Pretty good
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.
Good Vacuum on high
You need to use the high setting on hard floors, or it does next to nothing. I guess that's why they have that setting! It's the only one I use.
not as good as the navigator
I purchased the canister hoping it had the same power and suction as my navigator..the canister is such a disappointment..
Best canister.....
Lightweight, rolls efficiently, long retractable cord, powerful suction, easy to clean multiple filters, NO special bags required, reasonably priced! Would highly recommend this powerhouse vacuum cleaner! It could use an upholstery attachment but certainly not a reason to pass this up.
Great on dog hair
I have a German Shepard and have a lot of hair. I’ve noticed that my Shark picks up more hair and dirt than my Bissel ever did. The Shark moves around better without flipping over. Absolutely love it.
Exceeded expectations!
I hesitated to spend this amount on a vacuum, but I am so glad I did! My hardwood floors were never clean using a broom or a sweeper. This vacuum has major suction. I love the ease of switching from hardwood to carpet/area rug. But like the instructions indicate, it will suck up a light area rug. I no longer dread cleaning my floors. You'll want to consider storage. It does take up some space. I made room for mine in a guest room closet. Looking forward to getting more of the attachments.
Sucks well
I have used this twice since I got it a week ago works great
Low suction
Compared to the original upright pet vacuum I bought years ago, this vacuum lacks suction. The power heads don’t even pick up the hair. Regretting giving my old vacuum away in hopes of an upgrade! Investing in this one was a bad choice!
Picks up everything!!
This is a great vacuum for a household that has pets..it picks up everything and also gets the stuff along the sides of the vacuum head..easy to dump the dirt too and holds quite a bit
Powerful and versatile
I love this vacuum! I've never owned a canister vacuum before and this makes me feel like I've been vacuuming wrong all these years. I have wool areas rugs, one is thick shag, tile, wood, and linoleum flooring. It does a beautiful job on all of them. It's so quickly shifts to a powerful stair vac, too. A click of a button and I can get under the ottoman, buffet, dressers, and bed and store it in a small place under shelves in a closet!
Very nice cleaner
I bought this a year after I bought the upright vacuum so I could have a second one and a lighter one for me to handle. It works great! If I saw this before I bought the upright I wouldn't have bought it.
I bought this a month ago but I’m not really happy with that not what I was inspecting
Cleans beautifully light weight
I bought this because my daughter had the shark upright. But it was too heavy for me to carry
