Review: This was purchased as requested by our cleaner. I’ve observed her using this item monthly, and it works well considering my home is cleaned on a monthly basis. Good quality and value.
Review: For reference, I was using a Hoover bagless that I've had for years, a Deebot robovac that I've also had for years, and a Tineco mop and vac that I've had a few months. I live in a 1900sqft 1-story house with vinyl plank in the living areas and master, tile in the kitchen and bathrooms, and carpet in 2 bedrooms. I also have a thin, light colored 8x10 area rug. Living here are 2 adults, 2 teen/preteens, one of whom is a wheelchair user, and 2 German Shepherds. The Hoover is so heavy and has started spitting out dust despite new filters. I avoid using it because it's so hard to use. Pros: The new Shark had exceeded my expectations in almost every way. I wanted a light weight vac that I wouldn't put off using because it was too heavy and cumbersome. I wanted one that I didn't have to mount anything on the wall to store. I needed something that could deal with the dog hair and tracked in dirt. The Shark does all of those things. It picks up dirt and hair better than the Hoover, and because of the light that I didn't think I needed, I can actually see what's there. I like how it comes apart to store. It's super maneuverable, getting under/into places that have probably never been vacuumed. It seems to pick up things near the wall well (something my Tineco mop fails at). Cons: I didn't realize it not being able to stand on it's own would be a little inconvenient. I was thinking storage only, so didn't really care, but if I'm in the middle of vacuuming a room and need to move something, I have to find a place to prop the Shark. Same with the cord. I would love to have a self-rewinding cord on this thing. To me, the worst part is having to wrap it around the hooks. I also think the dust bin could be a little bigger, although with 2 GSDs, I'm going to empty it pretty much every time anyway. Lastly, there doesn't seem to be anywhere onboard to store the 2 small tools that come with it. They will be lost in no time. Overall, the drawbacks wouldn't keep me from buying again. It's a great little vacuum with good suction and light weight enough that I'll actually use it often. I haven't used it as a hand tool yet, but will.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are there different carpet height options - need for thick pile?**
A: There an option for speed only . One speed for carpet and one speed floor hard floor surfaces.  No height level change available on this vacuum.

**Q: Does this model stand up on its own?**
A: Yes...and no.  I have had occasions where it stood without falling over for a period of time on carpeting.  If it's on a hard floor, the bottom slides out from under it.  Remember, this is a top-heavy stick vacuum.  Its top portion outweighs the bottom portion.  I do stand it up to store it, but I put the bottom on a nonskid surface and tuck it snuggly in a closet where it has no where to go.  If you're asking if you can let it upright and easily walk away from it, I would say NO.

**Q: Does the power cord automatically reel in or do you need to manually roll it up?**
A: manually roll it up

**Q: Can the dustbin detatch from the motor?**
A: Yes, the dustbin detaches with pressing these button things on the side. 
It then only takes pressing a couple different buttons on the detached dustbin to empty it into a trash can.

*by G***S on 29 February 2024*

Powerful suction and flexibility . my shark vacuum was simple to put together along with additional tools that are handy for fabric sofa or chairs . Easy to vacuum carpets or floors . Love this shark vacuum which has the ability to turn vacuum head going around corners as needed. I Purchased extra filters but the vacuum does come with one installed . Easy to empty attachment but make sure you know to keep the cup in the right position when opening to throw collecting dust and particles out so as not to have it spilled . Highly recommend Anne does a wonderful job . Don’t hesitate you will be pleased I just order the extra cup filters when ordering the vacuum . Makes life easy
