Average machine

The machine isn’t quite as powerful as I had heard

No good for family homes

The worst Shark hoover I’ve ever had. The small width of the pipe means it is always requiring to be unclogged, the suction isn’t the greatest and the small dust box means it needs to be emptied at least 4 times in one cleaning process of a 2 up 2 down house.
Now it does have its upsides like the auto change of power for different floors and increased suction on skirtings, the weight is very nice but easily understood considering the what might seem like shortcuts they’ve taken to give you a smarter hoover.
The new anti hair wrap is very impressive though my last shark had the old anti hair wrap of which I had to untangle my long dark hair from maybe once or twice a week, not had to do that yet. The tools for this product are also what you might call cheaply made. I feel either the hoover or part will need replacing at some point. Might have to rethink on hoover brands

extremely poor

purchased last week and worked brilliantly for first couple days. Now when using the floor nozzle is no longer picking up. It just moves the dust etc around & when switch it off it drops any debris it has picked up. Works and picks up perfectly with the other two attachments. I've followed all the troubleshooting advice and cleaned the product twice and still getting same issue. Tried to call to get assistance and agent disconnected the call.

Impressed

Okay — I’m officially obsessed. This Shark hoover is honestly a game changer.

First off, it’s so lightweight and easy to manoeuvre, even on carpet, and it literally tells you how dirty your floor is and adjusts power automatically — it’s like it’s smarter than me ????

The “Clean & Empty” function is next level — no more getting hands full of dust trying to empty the bin. You just push a button and it does its thing. Super hygienic and no mess.

The battery lasts ages — I’ve done my whole flat (and then some) on one charge. And the suction?? It’s seriously powerful. I didn’t realise how gross my floors were until I used this.

Also — the pet hair tool is a lifesaver if you’ve got animals. My sofa finally looks like it’s not part dog.

For the price, it’s an absolute steal. Genuinely one of the best cordless vacuums I’ve ever used.

Highly recommend — like, 11/10.

Terrible vaccum - but Shark saved the day!

This has been the worst vacuum we've ever had - blocks so easily, and constantly have to take it apart and empty the blockage out. The battery life is awful. The emptying flap always sticks open. The actual suction of it is truly awful.
In fairness to Shark, they offered me a refund for the return of it...I'm guessing because there's been such poor reviews for it. So, this score is not for Shark themselves, it's for the product.

BRILLIANT QUALITY - Excellent clean

Fantastic vacuums for the price, sufficiently cleans each surface, and I love the fact it's empty's after each clean into the waste bin at the back. fantastic vacuum.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Not Fit For Purpose

I was given this vacuum as a gift and not impressed at all as dust gathers in the wand and blocks it moving upwards into the box. I’ve contacted Shark but found their response to be really unhelpful. Is there a replacement wand I can purchase for this model as I can’t find one on site. At present I’d say this device is not fit for the purpose as it’s only used in a very small flooring area

Great for just dust & hairs !

2 star is all i will give , and that's because I like the design potential not to touch the vacuumed stuff, and that covers only dust and hairs and similar. I thought it worked well at first , but then the more I used it the more little giggles I noticed.such as will it pick up cat or kitten biscuits, the answer was no , so what can be hoovered up, just dust particles and hairs

Clever design great functionality

Better than expected, pick up is powerfull and self adjusting. The self empth function is brilliant. Never had any issues with blockages that some have experienced. My only negative is it is not very tall, which means i tend to bend when cleaning thick pile carpet.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Extremely unhappy customer and not recommend

Not recommended at all. The suction is insufficient. It does not effectively remove debris; it merely shifts more than half of the rubbish from one side to another. The battery life is extremely poor. I have been a loyal customer of Shark vacuum products and have utilized other items as well without any complaints, but this particular product is a significant disappointment. Unfortunately, it is too late; I wish I could have returned it.

Customer Questions
What guarantee do I get with my Shark vacuum?
When you register your guarantee with Shark, you are covered for 5 years (excludes batteries). You can register your guarantee here
What are the benefits of the LED display?
The LED display shows battery status by displaying the amount of charge you have remaining. You can see the mode you are currently in – Auto, Eco or Boost – as well as seeing the level of dirt and debris being picked up by the vacuum cleaner from the light indicator.
What does the LED light indicator show?
When the LED indicator light is blue, this means no heavy dirt levels are detected and suction power is normal. When the vacuum senses heavy debris, the light will turn red, and suction power will increase for more cleaning power. When the indicator light turns amber, debris is being removed. Continue cleaning until the indicator turns blue again.
What is Detect Technology?
When in Auto mode, there are four detect technology features that will be automatically activated: Dirt Detect identifies dirtier high-traffic areas and automatically boosts suction power to pull in hidden dirt; Floor Detect makes the brush-roll respond to surface changes and automatically adjusts to optimize your clean; Edge Detect dynamically detects edges and corners and maximises suction to remove stubborn dirt; Light Detect senses low-light situations and automatically illuminates dark areas to help you spot debris.
What is an Auto Empty Dock?
The Auto Empty Dock automatically charges the vacuum cleaner whilst also emptying the dust cup into a sealed base after every clean.
What are the benefits of an Auto Empty Dock?
Fine dust and debris go straight to the self-empty base and are completely sealed keeping irritants from being released back into the air you breathe.
How much dirt and debris can be stored in the Auto Empty Dock?
The Auto Empty Dock can store up to 45 days of dirt and debris
How long does the battery take to charge?
The battery takes approximately 5 hours to fully charge. Prior to first use, the battery should be charged completely. The battery will only charge when the vacuum is docked on the Auto Empty unit. When docked the battery will automatically start charging.
How heavy is the vacuum?
The total weight of the vacuum including the floor nozzle is 2.78kg.
Are the filters washable?
Yes, all filters on both the vacuum cleaner and the Auto Empty Dock are washable. Simply rinse the filters with water and let them air dry for at least 24 hours before re-inserting into the unit. Clean the pre-motor filters at least once a month and post-motor filter at least once a year. Tap off loose dirt between washes when needed. More frequent cleaning may sometimes be necessary with heavy use.
What is the capacity of the dust cup?
0.42L
What is the capacity of the Auto Empty Dock?
2L
