SharkIZ163H Pet Plus Cordless Stick Vacuum with Self-Cleaning Brushroll and HEPA Filter, Lightweight Deep Cleaning Vacuum for Carpet and Hard Floors, Folds for Easy Storage, 40-min Runtime, Raspberry

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I LOVE this vacuum. I have scoured online to find one that met my requirements for what I wanted. This one has everything and more. I’ve tried lots of different brands, styles and sizes all claiming they have great suction, long battery life and store well. This one is far exceeding any I’ve tried! Durability:Extremely durable, but still light-weightCordless:Rechargeable battery that lasts a long time & does not add too much extra weight. Functionality:Very versatile, multiple attachments and bends to go under furniture

This vac is pretty awesome. It is lighter than I expected. Some said that it was heavy at the top, which is because the battery is mounted there. Instead of trying to hold it up, I let it rest on my hand and move it around. The vac does a great job on hard floors, as it has two types of rollers - one is with the "blades" and the other is a microfiber material, which means it not only picks up debris, it also sweeps and cleans the dust that has settled on the floor. It also will pick up when moving forward and reverse. Some cordless vacs only pick up when moving forward. It passes the Cheerios test, and picks up crunchy cat food on the floor with ease.This vac has 3 settings - high and low, and then the Clean Sense, which allows the vac to determine which speed and power is needed. On hard floors, I let the Clean Sense do its job and by doing so, the battery lasts longer. I also will start with the auto feature in the rooms with carpet, but sometimes I will notch it up to "high" to get a little deeper into the carpet. Initially, I was concerned that the battery would not last throughout the house, but it does for the most part. Once I have run through the house, I dump the collection bin, fold up the vac for storage and then I plug in the battery charger to top it back off. I never put it up without charging it fully again. After it fully recharges, I unplug the charger from the vac. The folding feature of the vac is a great way to store the vac, though I worry about the plastic tubing being bent up 180 degrees. Based on some reviews about the folding feature breaking something in that area, I am very careful when folding it up. It also is still confusing which button I press to fold up versus opening the bin to dump out the contents. So far, I have not accidentally dumped the container by pushing the wrong button. I'm still learning a month into it.I like the odor neutralizer, as it leaves behind a pleasant smell. I am very sensitive to fragrances and the little cartridge that comes with the vac smells really good. My house has a fresh smell after vacuuming. You can dial in the amount of fragrance to be released, and I have it on low. It will also last longer the lower the setting used. I also note that there are replacement cartridges from other sellers for this vac, so I will not worry about using this one up without replacing it.This does not replace my Rainbow vacuum, but it sure is a heck of an easier way to keep the floors tidy. I also have the robot vac by the same manufacturer and sadly it is not getting used as much now that I have this cordless stick. With this stick, I can spontaneously decide to clean up the floors, but the robot requires me to go all around the house picking up everything small enough to get the robot stuck. I also have a handheld cordless vac by another company and I occasionally use it instead of the hand vac on this vac. This vac comes with two attachments - one for dusting and one is a crevice tool. I so far I have not utilized either one, but the dusting tool has microfiber all around it, so I am excited to try dusting next.So, overall I am pleased with this purchase. I will need to use this over time to report back on the durability and quality of the build to fully conclude the value. If this vac dies on me, you can be sure I will immediately revise my rating, since this was a luxury purchase for me and I expect it to hold up. But, for now this is a welcome addition to my home.

I think this is a nice vacuum and it does a better than average job. The battery life should be better but if you keep on the recommended setting it will be adequate for normal vacuuming. i have lots of family over and i have to run mine at the highest setting sometimes and it sure pulls the battery down quickly. I think they should offer a second battery for a quick switch out if needed for a new purchase.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Works great. Battery life is pretty sad. On high power you get maybe 20 minutes of use. If you let it do its thing with the AI technology, it still only lasts about 40-50 minutes. But it picks up everything. It’s easy to use. Gets under furniture easily.

I bought this because I have a 15 year old Shark vacuum I bought that was amazing and probably the best vacuum I've ever owned.So I thought this would be good to.WRONGSuction is absolutely terrible. When its not clogged (which is practically never) it might suck up half the dirt and debris on the floor.Major design flaw because the suction tube is very narrow and also not smooth so most of the hair it sucks up gets stuck in the ribs of the tube blocking the entire passage way.So I spend more time turning if off and getting hair clogs out of the tube than I do vacuuming.What good does a head that does not clog do if you just moved it further up the chain to the tube?The filters on this are tiny and get so dirty every time you use it that you must take the unit apart and clean the filters otherwise it will not suck, overheat, and shut off.There are also filters, they dont tell you about, built into the head unit and you cannot remove.You have to have a high powered compressed air blower and blow that thing out on a regular basis or the unit will just not suck and overheat.You will not understand what is going on because you have cleaned the 2 removable filters they tell you about and the unit still will not work.Then you get desperate and start blowing the entire unit out with high pressure air and realize there is a built in filter to the head you cannot remove and it has to be cleaned too.The unit constantly shuts itself off because of "over heating". Even when using the auto and eco modes.If you try to use any attachment other than the head, say like the small brushes for hand use, the unit overheats and shuts off in less than 20 seconds.I bought this in October 2023 and the battery has already swelled, leaked, and stopped working.I called support today and they are sending me a new battery but the shipping is $20.Thats a freaking joke for such a small package and they are clearly subsidizing my battery warranty with "shipping costs".Shark has lost me as a customer forever. I've wasted almost $300 on a useless piece of junk that I spend more time cleaning and unclogging than I do using.And the 5-10 minutes I do get to use it the thing barely sucks anything up.

My husband bought this as he does most of the vacuuming. I tried it too, and Love it...No cord to worry about. Light weight compared to our old vacuum. Really collects the dirt and in an easy to clean container. Love the swivel head on it, plus the power revs up when more power is needed. The battery life is pretty good, can do our whole house at one time. Seems very well built
