Review: Light, convenient, works well - I've been using my Shark
Cordless vacuum for a few months now. I still love it. I was
waiting to make sure it kept working before reviewing. So far, so
good. I haven't had the best luck with the less expensive
cordless vacuums. One was so hard to clean I just sent it back.
Another had a problem with the rollers not spinning. I managed to
keep it going for 2 years but always presented problems. This one
is easy. The rollers stop the nanosecond a problem is detected
and nothing has gotten wrapped up in them. This one is not so
expensive that I couldn't afford it and is what I was looking
for. It seems durable and hopefully it will last more than a few
years. It's easy to use, lightweight and empties very easily.
Just hold it over the garbage can and push the button. Nice. It's
also easy to charge. I just plug it in next to a wall and let it
charge. My only complaint is actually that the charge barely
lasts long enough. I have 1204 sq. ft. on 3 levels. I use a
larger, corded vacuum for the top level that has 2 carpeted
bedrooms. So, I'm only vacuuming the hard floors on the 2nd level
(with some throw rugs) and the carpeted living room on the ground
floor. Also 18 total carpeted steps. So, I wish the charge would
last another 10-15 minutes for a more complete job. That said, it
works so well, that I'm still very happy. The best part is that
it's small enough and light enough to make cleaning the stairs a
lot less of a chore than with a full-sized regular vacuum. The
rollers pull strongly and the suction is quite adequate. Not
overwhelmingly so but does the job. I have 2 cats and need to be
able to have a handy device especially for the steps where they
love to play.
Review: Perfect stick vacuum, as long as it fits your demands -
As a disclaimer, our home is 1700ft2, and about 2/3 of it is
carpeted. The vacuum works phenomenal on the regular carpeting
and hardwood in the house, but struggles a little bit with the
wool area rug. The variety of ways this vacuum can be assembled
makes it extremely versatile. For example, using the regular
brush roll head while removing the extension works wonders on the
carpeted stairs. The short "handheld" version with the scraper
does great on the couch. And the extension, with the small ended
nozzle, works great for after the initial vacuuming, getting all
the dirt along the edges of the rooms and furniture. It lays down
almost flat, so getting under things like the dog food bowls, the
couch, the dining room table etc are a breeze. So the reason I
made the title the way it is, is related to battery life. To
realistically clean our first floor (mostly hardwood/tile + wool
rug) and the second floor (totally carpeted) will eat up the
entire battery. The battery is NOT fast to charge. The runtime is
based I believe on the vacuum running in "handheld mode" (aka
without the brush head). So, if you're home is over 1500ft2 and
mostly carpeted, you're going to have to throw it on the charger
for a while most likely. I think it would greatly benefit Shark
to come up with swappable batteries, think Milwaukee or DeWalt
style. If you're handy you can do this yourself, but it would
greatly benefit the company to have a proprietary design for
this. Another con, though I hesitate to call it a con based on
the portability of this vacuum, is the power. As mentioned, it
does great on our regular carpeting, but just isn't as good as
the corded Shark we've had for almost 10 years. This is to be
expected as the motor in the corded vac draws significantly more
power than the cordless battery version, but still worth
mentioning. The vacuum is very light and easy to use. The blue
light on the front of the roller head is AWESOME, and will show
every spec of dirt on any uncarpeted surface. Overall, for the
sale price we got it at (I want to say between $175-225, can't
remember exactly) it has been excellent. Just keep in mind how
much you're going to want to run it at once, as if you're living
space is too big, you will have to take long breaks to recharge
the vacuum.
