What's great about it: Great suction and easy to maneuver
What's not so great: Miss not having a dusting brush for baseboard and floor brush
I was planing to buy either a Dyson or Oreck touch. When I did a demo of this vacuum I was sold on the spot! It handled like the Dyson but had so many more features and much lower price tag. Loved the fact it was a lift away, makes it so easy to do stairs etc. I previously had a Kenmore canister and I really liked the brushes that came with it. Although it does come with brushes, I wish the wood floor dusting brush was better and miss a dusting brush for doing baseboards. I'm hoping I can find them online sold separately When I vacuumed the first time I got tons of dirt up, amazing!! I wish I had gotten it sooner. Love it, you will too!
This product is or has... Enough suction that a single-pass does the job, Great for stairs, easy to empty, A great pet hair picker upper, Long enough cord, Allergy filtration does the job, Easy to carry, Convenient to store

What's great about it: suction
What's not so great: slightly awkward wand maneuvering
I bought this vacuum after watching videos on YouTube showing how great it was so I thought I would give it a shot... after a little over a month of use I found that its great for cleanning just about anywhere... even used it on my car without the auto accessories... the only thing that I would say is bad even though its really not bad would be the slight awkwardness of maneuvering of the wand in tight spaces but the wand does come off making it easier...

The shark pro is a steal for the price and quality! It keeps suction, gets the dirt in one trip, maneuvers easily and has several attachments for any job. I highly recommend this vacuum.

What's great about it: Hardwood carpet rugs etc...
What's not so great: I have 2 Siberian Huskies and when they get hair on the couch it does not get all the hair off
I bought this mainly because of my dogs and all their hair. I was kind of disappointed because it did not get all the hair. I use the crevice tool to get underthings a whole lot and it is great because it never gets stopped up. The great thing is The canister will come off and you can carry it or you can put it on the rollers and it is easy to go around the house and vacuum Using other tools that it comes with.

What's great about it: Attachments and functionality
I bought the Sharp vacuum for the assisted living I work for and it has been great. We use it daily and the attachments make it possible to clean and reach areas we were not able to with previous vacuums. The staff has come to me several times to say thank you, how much better it works and how much they like using it.

My wife and I went to purchase a vacuum, and she went in set on a Dyson. After trying the floor models, she had a change of heart, which did my heart (and wallet) good. But having used the Shark now, I honestly believe she picked a vacuum just as good as the one she could have spent another $200+ on.

What's not so great: nothing
I had been looking at buying a Dyson and then a friend recommended Shark. I couldn't happier. It is the best vacuum that I have owned - and for less than half of what I would have paid for a Dyson. I highly recommend it.

What's great about it: lightweight, powerful suction, easy to maintain, quiet, versatile, lots of accessories, makes cleaning fun and easy.
What's not so great: Flexible hose could be a little longer, balance not quite right when bagless container detached
I love this Vacuum Cleaner. Period. l can even attach my older extension tubes (l have very high ceilings) by using an adaptor. So versatile: upright with swivel head, lift away for stairs and other awkward places, and a trolley to use as a canister. Suction is awesome and cleaning the filters simple. Cannot recommend highly enough.

What's not so great: little pricey
Such a functional vacuum! Tools for every use: from low-profile head for under furniture to caddy for canister use, wand for ceiling, furniture brush, soft-bristled head for dusting electronics and glass. It's great on carpet or hardwoods/tile, suction control dial on main wand so you can vacuum throw rugs with the main head attachment and cover more areas faster. Very easy to empty dust canister, especially with openings at top & bottom!

What's great about it: On board attachments and great suction power.
What's not so great: Bit of a learning curve on how it dis-assembles.
This vacuum does it all with on board attachments and great suction power.Amazing what my old sweeper left behind.Great value for the price. Assembled easily without tools. Instructions vague for how to dis-assemble for canister use only. LOVE that it does not use bags!!

Love this vacuum. We have a large Lab and 3 cats so plenty of animal hair. This vacuum gets it all! Even off the furniture and bed. We love the long wand that's built in. Find a bug on the ceiling? Pull the wand and suck it up! It's light weight, easy to push around and does everything we need!

What's great about it: multi facet vaccuum
What's not so great: Suction power could be a little better, but is still very good.
If you are looking for a vacuum cleaner that is multi function this is the one. I have hardwood floors and also some carpet and the attachments make it easy to do it all. Very easy to move around and easy to change attachments.

What's great about it: It can separate from its base.
What's not so great: It does not have a place for all of the attachments.
I have not had this unit for too long but it seems to be a good unit. Lets see if it lives up to never losing suction.

What's great about it: Easy to set up, fabulous suction, versatile
What's not so great: buttons
I bought this vacuum just over two weeks ago. I vacuumed with my old vac immediately before using the Shark for the first time. I could hardly believe how much the Shark picked up that my other vac had left behind. The dust cup is SO much easier to dump than the cup on my last vac. The accessories are all quite useful, though the wand is a bit heavier than I'd like.
Unfortunately, it appears that the button that releases the wand no longer works (used about 4 times), and without being about to use the wand, quite a few of the Shark's functionalities are eliminated.
To add insult to injury, Best Buy in Waterford, CT was unwilling to do an exchange since my purchase was 18 days ago. (Unbeknownst to me, they'd recently cut return time in half...) I bought it with the special 6-month financing, and I haven't even made my first payment yet! I was shocked that Best Buy was unwilling to exchange the vacuum within such a short time frame.
Thus, I was forced to call Shark. Fortunately, they were much more accommodating. I will have to send the vacuum back to them, but they did say they would send a new replacement. Of course, this means that I'll be without a vacuum for a week or so. Unfortunately, I threw away the original box, so I'll have to dig up something the broken vac will fit into. The person at Shark was also surprised that Best Buy has such an unbelievably short return period.
At any rate, I'm hoping that the now non-functioning wand button on my current Shark is the exception and not the rule, because otherwise I love this vacuum. I'll try to post an update after I receive the replacement vacuum.
