Shark | Pet Cordless Vacuum Cleaner | LED Headlights | Removable Handheld Vacuum for Pet Hair | Crevice Tool & Pet Multi-Tool Included | 40min Runtime | For Carpet & Hard Floors | Grey | IX141

I wanted a lightweight cordless vacuum that could go from floor vac to hand vac. I researched my options and settled on this one. We have a cat and also are allergic to cats (go figure) so really wanted something to get the cat hair under control. Unbeknownst to me when I ordered this, not only do we have a cat but we also had a major flea situation (I can’t bring myself to use the word ‘infestation’). I ripped this lil’ Shark out of the box and immediately started vacuuming, and have used it almost daily for the past three weeks. Really impressed with the suction, charge, ease of use, and ease of emptying. It’s easy to transition it from a floor vac to a hand vac, and the pet hair attachment and crevice tool seem good. I wish there was a place on the device to store the extra tools, because I’m just wandering around from room to room carrying them in a plastic bag for whenever I need to swap them in and out. Also a little annoying that I sometimes have to power off and on when it gets unhappy with one of the throw rugs and the floor brush stops spinning. But overall, I love it! I have two Dysons, a Roomba, and a shop vac, and this one has been getting by far the most use. I’m shocked and horrified by how much dust and fur it picks up every day. Gross but satisfying (and fleas are now at bay!!).

Very good and easy to use vacuum it is not very heavy and big it picked up messed very fast and you can use it on carpet and hardwood floors and has many different attachments

I bought this vacuum in summer of 2023. I use it weekly and it is now on its last leg. My household has two indoor cats and it did a good job with picking up cat hair. I enjoyed that it’s lightweight and cordless. This was my first cordless vacuum. The battery lasts about a half hour on the highest setting. It still turns on, but in the last month, I’ve noticed that it mostly pushes around dirt and doesn’t pick things up very well anymore. I have taken really good care of it by cleaning and changing the filter and detangling the brush. I’m disappointed that it’s no longer working. I’m not sure if it’s common for cordless vacuums to stop working or not, but I have a cheap plug in Black and Decker vacuum from 2015 that still works well. It just surprises me that it didn’t last as long. In short, it’s a good vacuum but doesn’t last very long.

My six-year-old Dyson was slowing down so I decided to stop around for a new cordless vacuum. The fellow who cleans my carpets on an annual basis recommended the Sharp. I couldn’t be more pleased. It does a superior job at vacuuming up cat hair and, on a hard surface floor, kibble which the Dyson simply ignored. It’s powerful and very easy to use and has a large dirt cup which is much easier to empty than the Dyson’s. All this for about 25% of the cost of the Dyson! Amazing..

We have a bunch of large door floor mats in front of several doors in the house, plus some walkway doorways that collect dirt and lint balls on the carpet. Always a big project getting out the canister vacuum, hose, and carpet floor unit to vacuum, so they don't get vacuumed as often as they should. A few weeks ago I'm walking out of a local large grocery store and see one of this model of Shark stick vacuum being used on their entry doorway floor mat. I took a look and remembered "Rocket" on the carpet unit, then tracked the stick vac down here and at a big box home store. What really caught my attention was the clear plastic "catch bin" at the top! Seemed like exactly the right thing in the right place, and clear so I could see what was being picked up. Well yep, having bought one, it works even better than expected! The various comments here, before I bought, said you have to pull the "high suction" trigger to get sufficient power on carpets, and that drains the battery faster. BOTH TRUE, BUT WHEN YOU DO THAT THIS THING SUCKS LIKE CRAZY! I'm impressed with what was in the catch bin and what I could see coming up from the carpets and mats. Small bits like cat litter, large bits of stuff, lint, hairs, everything on the mats and rug walkways. I vacuumed two carpet areas in in doorways between rooms that always accumulate a lot of dirt. Then vacuumed 3 of the door mats. Then vacuumed part of a sunroom carpet where a bunch of cats live. Even on the "high suction" the battery was only 2/3 gone after all that (there are 3 LEDs that tell you charge/discharge level) but I stopped because it looked like the catch bin might be full. This was first use and I wasn't sure. Yep, completely full, and that is a large bin! One thing: INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT CLEAR THAT THE CATCH BIN EMPTIES WITH A TRAP DOOR ON ITS BOTTOM, WHEN YOU PRESS THE EMPTY LEVER. SO IT WILL DUMP RIGHT INTO YOUR LAP IF YOU DON'T KNOW THAT UPFRONT, LIKE HAPPENED TO ME. :) Luckily it was close enough to my lap that the suddenly-open trap door hit my leg and only opened about an inch, limiting how much came out until I could move it and me to the trash can. :) Knowing how it works now, I just hold it over the trash can then trigger the bottom door release. Which is really great, you don't have to turn the catch bin upside down and shake or such. There isn't a printed set of "word" instructions with the unit, it is one of those picture instruction pamphlets. For the most part that works, as in: assemble the stick pipe into the floor unit, then the vacuum head onto the stick pipe. There apparently is a QR code on the top than can be scanned for more instructions. Pro tip: the inside of the catch bin will be dusty after you empty. I used a "computer air" spray can (for PC keyboards and such) to blow out the inside and top. There is no way to get the unit to self-stand that I've found, for storage, as other comments here have noted. I found two cabinets with a space between them wide enough to set this unit in upright. Done! Even has a plug nearby for the charger. Those LEDs near the "suction trigger" show you how the charging is coming along. 3 of them that light in sequence as it charges, then they all go off when completely charged. Charges reasonably fast. At a local big box home store I saw this unit in person, plus a whole bunch of other brands and models. Yep, I "showroomed" then ordered here for $30 less. :/ None of the brands and models had that nice, large, clear catch bin at the top back like this one has. Several brands had black or opaque catch bins and they were located in odd places. Why? To make sure I won't be able to see how full it is getting? Guys! :) This vacuum is great, for what it is, a quick and fairly powerful unit to quickly clean floor mats, doorways, and other small areas. Probably not the ideal thing for your entire living room rug, although could do it with a few re-charges and catch bin empties. Summary: just buy it already! :) A+++++

I have had this for over a year and I love it. I use it every day. It may not have enough battery to do the entire house, but I typically do it in sections so this is not a problem for me. I like the different attachments. It is very lightweight but powerful, so perfect for our carpeted stairs. It is small and out of the way, and easy to put together when it is time to vacuum. Works quickly with dog hair and dust.

I purchased this to replace a Dyson that cost more than double what this vacuum cost. While the Dyson was getting up there in age, this one has better suction, battery life, is quieter and overall runs better than the Dyson ever did. I thought the dirt spotlight would be a gimmick but it does make dirt and dust stand out. Very happy with it.

I love that this is cordless, lightweight, and works very well. The accessories are easy to change out. My only complaint is that the battery lasts only about 30 minutes when you run it on high. However, when running it on high, it picks up light, dusty footprints from my hardwood floors, so it doesn't bother me too much. The battery run time is just about perfect for getting my living room, dining room, and kitchen floors done in one charge. The battery charges pretty quickly, so after it charges I'm able to get my other three rooms done. It's easy to switch from carpet to hard floors with just the slide of a switch. I've had it for about a month and have only had to empty the canister twice. I don't have it memorized yet on how to empty the canister, but there are instructions on the vacuum itself, so it's not a big deal. It also does a good job of picking up hair, whether it's my fine, thin hair, my son's curly hair, or the leftover pet hair from my home's previous owner's four little dogs.
