Q: I have lots of long hair to vacuum. How does the anti-hair tangling on the brushes work?
submitted by KM - 5 months ago
A: This vacuum and the anti hair tangling brushroll has worked amazingly for our home! I was a skeptic as I have long curly hair and we also have a Great Pyrenees, but I haven’t had to clean the brush roll once yet and have been using it 1-2x times a week for over two months. Every other vacuum I’ve used I’ve had to clean the clogged brush roll every other use.
submitted bytvbrown27 - 4 months agoA: The Shark PowerDetect Upright Vacuum features a self-cleaning brush roll, which actively removes hair as you vacuum. The anti-hair wrap technology uses a combination of bristle guards and a continuously rotating brush roll to prevent hair from wrapping around the roller, making it ideal for homes with long hair or pet hair. Regular maintenance, such as checking the brush roll for buildup, will help keep it working efficiently.

submitted by Kris1980 - 1 month ago
A: The cord does not retract. Instead, it winds around the hooks positioned on its side.

Q: how do you clean if you have to take the rollers out because of tangles hair
submitted by mayhue - 2 months ago
A: To clean tangled hair from the rollers, detach the nozzle by pressing the Powered Lift-Away button on top of the dust cup handle. Remove the wand from the nozzle and place the nozzle bottom-up on a flat surface. Carefully cut away any hair or debris from the brushroll using scissors. Once clean, reattach the wand to the nozzle and slide the pod back onto the wand until it clicks into place.

Gregg - 15 days ago, Verified purchaser
I ordered this almost a week ago and still do not have the item when Target says order within the next 5 hours get next day deilvery. I placed the order on a Friday and after check out it said it will arrive by Sunday. Nothing Saturday. Waited all day Sunday and tracking said it went by my area and then ended up in another state. Target Customer service was a joke and would not help me out. I called my old driver up at Fedex now higher up and had him look into this. He said someone really messed this up and rerouted back to me. He said it will take another day or two. Glad I never supported Target or shop at this joke of a company. I will never do it again. They are rude and do not care you are just another number. No idea how the product is. I still do not have it.

I HATE this vacuum....I always buy and recommend Sharks, think they are much better than Dysons (and I have dogs).....this vacuum sucks up well, but is horrible to use.....super heavy......cord is always twisting/tangling.....I spend more time 'readjusting' the settings after it adjusts/detects to what it wants (what it 'detects' is incorrect).....I am taking time off from vacuuming to write this review because I am havng a miserable cleaning experience yet again....I clearly would not recommend and am going to have to purchase yet another vacuum......

Too heavy/tipsy when wand is in use

Bought couple months ago based on reviews. Had Dyson before . Suction is great. But way too heavy. Plus when you rake wand out tips over very easy. Also, auto detect does not do well on thin area rugs. Tried all settings on a ruggable and it way too hard to push. Not at all the vacuum I expected.

The vacuum works great for the most part. suctions well. however, i bought this less than a year ago and am sad to see it decline in quality so quickly. i use this everyday as i have used my other shark vacuums everyday as well. this one however has been such poorly made… the cord is ripping in three spots after under a year of use. i already had to replace the dust cup because the latch to release the dirt, broke. now the cord is ripping and the rubber seal to the detachable handle has come off a bit and was catching dog hair and clogging the hose… thoroughly disappointed in this model. i’ve had 3 shark vacuums before this and was able to get at least 2yrs out of each!!! also, i’ve never received my steam mop.

HEAVILY SCENTED. NOT ODOR NEUTRAL. HIGHLY PERFUMED

BEWARE! HIGHLY PERFUMED! I thought the odor neutralizer would be like baking soda, but it is very heavily fake scented, and you must use it for the vacuum cleaner to work. Even if you take it out, the unit is still very perfuming and lingers. Opening the package, put me into an ASTHMA COUGHING AND HEADACHE DAY! If you are sensitive to fragrance, do not buy this !

Disappointed - 30 days ago
originally posted on sharkninja.com
Bought this the end of January. Because of a surgery, I was unable to use it for a month. Since then I have used it 4 times. I find this vacuum very heavy, tips easily when using just the wand, and the hose is way too short to reach higher areas. I am old school so getting comfortable to the changes in suction power is difficult for me. I do appreciate the lights on the handle and base, does well on bare floors, but generally not happy with this one…I have purchased 3 other shark vacuums over 20 + years (have many pets - dog, cats, and birds) and still like the original purple one ( long gone). I would return this for something easier and lighter, but I believe I missed the deadline. Probably will gift it to my daughter…. Do like some of the extra tools…

Just bought cuz my Dyson finally died. I really wanted to luv this. It has great suction and a plus on the lights. But it’s such a hassle to pull out canister to vacuum stairs. I have 3 sets of stairs and it’s terrible. Then putting canister back, forget it. Having to lug it around, I’m over this. Can’t even return cuz I already shredded box. Too bad cuz it did seem to be good vacuum but certainly more of a hassle than what it’s worth!!

I own a lot of shark products, I really like this brand. I purchased this vacuum last year and the first thing I noticed was the suction power! This thing is a BEAST at picking up pet hair, dander and tiny particles of dirt! I have wood floors and I have rugs. Shag rugs. So obviously they are a pain to clean and with two frechies, there’s a level of acceptance when it comes to how clean I can get- well, anything. TO MY SURPRISE, the vacuum works on my rugs. I have to go a little fast so it doesn’t catch BUT IT PULLS SO MUCH STUFF OUT OF THERE. Truly, my only complaint, is that the CORD is so stiff! It catches on EVERYTHING, including itself and pulls itself out of the outlet. It’s so frustrating! I’ve never had any cord like this before and I absolutely HATE it. Also, the placement of the cord “storage” is on the side, which can prevent the ability to get into and around tighter spaces. The other thing that can be a little frustrating is the sensor. Sometimes it just, doesn’t. Then you gotta stop and wipe it before you can start again. It’s not that big of a deal, but it does make the whole cleaning process longer. And nobody wants that!
Really great features and suction!!!

The first unit did not work properly, I contacted Shark CS and they sent me a replacement vacuum. I have had it about a week now it appears to be working correctly. Time will tell.

We've had this vacuum for a couple months now. We have been loyal Dyson customers for fifteen years. Was tired of the Dyson collecting hair on the roller ball and smelling. The Dyson was horrible to take apart and clean. This Shark has amazing suction, great accessories, the scent feature is amazing, and hair doesn't collect on the bar!!!!!!

Pros and cons
3 out of 5 stars
Leer6 - 1 month ago
originally posted on sharkninja.com
I have had my vacuum for a couple months and I will say the suction is unbeatable. I love that the detector can tell when you are up against a wall and will adjust the suction to grab even more. I like that the felt roller is able to dust the hard floors and I have not noticed any debris getting kicked out from behind like some vacuums can do. Now, there are a few cons compared to my other shark vacuums. First it is noticeably heavier and I will say you really need some muscle to use this thing. It will take over! I’m not happy with how short and tight the hose is being that I have tall ceilings, but even more disappointing is when you use the wand the machine always falls over. Also, it is impossible to vacuum an area rug without it getting stuck inside and causing the safety shut down to go on so then you have to turn the vacuum off and back on to get the rollers to turn back on. Even when I adjust the suction manually. The buttons seem to be in a convenient place but somehow I manage to accidentally change the buttons by the way I am holding the handle since they are sensor buttons. I usually love to vacuum but I find myself yelling at this one more often than not. I have always loved shark vacuums but this time I made the wrong choice because I thought it sounded as close to a Kirby vacuum as you can get ( which I also have owned and have been on the hunt for something close to it). My first choice was to get the stratos but then I read about this. I’m not giving up on shark but this one just doesn’t make me happy to clean!

Love it. Best vacumm ever. It's better that the stick vacumms that batteries will die on you. It sucks up everything. If u have multiple kids, it's a life changer. My other vacumms in the past never sucked up everything. This is a must. If you are constantly vacuuming because of kids, you will quickly see the money spent was worth it.
