Versatile Vacuum that Can Handle All the Dirt in Our Home
Amazing Vacuum. I have a dog, hardwood floors, thick area carpets, and a hard-to-clean leather shag rug. There are an astounding number of features on this vacuum that enabled to handle every surface type, nook, and cranny. The Shark is easily the best vacuum we've ever had.
Push-button operation allows the user to change modes right on from the handle. The vacuum operates like a traditional upright vacuum or it can be placed on a caddy that also carries several attachments and used as a canister vacuum. I would've liked a caddy designed to hold ALL the included attachments. The unit comes with a bag for the attachments that don't fit on the caddy in order to keep everything organized.
The dirt container is thoughtfully designed. First, the seal is complete. Gone are the days of the slightly dusty smelling vacuum bags. This unit does not let dust escape while in operation. A washable filter ensures clean running. Second, the canister opens from the bottom and the top. With the push of a button all the dust and dog hair just falls out of the bottom of the container.
The bright headlight highlights dog hair that could be missed and is especially valuable in hardwood floor mode. The hardwood floor mode includes a machine washable microfiber pad: dust and sweep in one pass!
The headlight on the wand is also very useful for dusting. The couch and crevice attachments work brilliantly. And the extra-long cord allows a lot of freedom.
Anyone looking for one of the best and most versatile vacuums on the market would do well to check out this Shark unit. We were very happy with it on all our carpets, couches, drapes, and even on the hardwood floor.
