Shark Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum with XL Dust Cup, LED Headlights, Removable Handheld Vac, Crevice Tool, Portable Vacuum for Household Pet Hair, Carpet and Hard Floors, 40min Runtime, Grey, IX141

This is a great little vacuum for light cleaning. It works well on all surfaces, however, it works the best on floors with no real texture like my rock tile kitchen. With all the varied elevations of my kitchen floor, it does work but it takes time. On my othrr, regular flat floors it's great and on a very low pile carpet it excels. It's strong enough but I wouldn't try to use this for any "heavy" cleaning as I think my Shark upright is more suited for that. I use this one as a "daily sweeper" and use my big shark for the weekly and sping cleaning. This cleaner is lightweight and very manueverable and still has good suction for a cleaner it's size. It would be an excellent choice of vacuum for a small dorm or apartment or even for use in an RV as it's easy to store and takes a charge quickly. I'm more and more impressed with Shark products over Hoover for price point and value for my dollar as well as the machines themselves.

I bought this guy for quick vacuums during the week. Our main vacuum is a Shark Vertex, which I love, but it is a heavy beast. We previously had a cordless Dyson stick vacuum, but I never really thought it did a great job on the carpet.This little guy is THE BEST. It is lightweight and does such a great job. I have an australian shepherd, 2 cats, a kid, and very long hair that sheds. My vacuum needs are NOT for the weak! This does an amazing job, so much better than the Dyson on both hard floor and carpet. The suction power seems great, though I have had to unclog the tube a few times. It was very easy to do. I do find the actual dust cup a little finicky to open, but I think it's getting easier the more I use it.I love that it has the headlight so I can see that it's working and that a charge seems to last for a while...I don't have a huge house, but I can do an entire floor on one charge no problem. I've never had the battery run down, so maybe I could even do the whole house. Sometimes I use it instead of the Vertex for my bigger weekly vacuum and it still does a great job, though I do think the Vertex has an edge because of the way it separates long hair from the rest of the dust.6 months of regular use and it's still going strong. Love it!

We love our Shark Navigator Cordless so much we have purchased three of them over the last ten years. It is one of the few cordless vacuum's out there that doesn't have the dirt bin in the handle. For those that have the dirt bin up by the handle, it added just enough extra weight to the handle to be uncomfortable for people with arthritis or other problems with their hands. It works great on either floor or carpet, and the bin is very easy to remove and clean out. We have pets that shed and we run this almost every day to pick up pet hair. It does a great job. The only two things we would have a complaint about would be the longevity, as the motor seems to give out after three or fours years of constant usage (hence owning three), and the fact there is no light mounted on the front to see the floor. You would be amazed at how much you can see on the floor with a vacuum light versus just having the room light on. We have tried other cordless vacs and for us this one is hands down the best.

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.
