Regret Buying
Very poor design. Not much suction, all attachements are designed to slip over the outside of the upstream attachment, causing shelfs in the hose, where debris gets stuck and causes clogs. The 3' hose is way too short, you're always pulling on the vacuum, and it's top-heavy so it falls over, and then the filter clogs so you have to restart it. The hose is very small diameter, and low flow, so it takes forever to clean any large area. It is easy to empty, light, and it's nice that you can use any bag, but that's all that I like. It's good for cleaning a car, but trying to clean up leaves, pine needles, scraps from a jobsite, forget about it. It's basically a glorified dust-buster

Highly recommend!
We bought the mess master after buying a Shark upright vacuum a few months prior. Both have been amazing and have held up well in the last year and a half. I love this little guy for the bigger messes. I love that you can do wet or dry... or both at the same time. We've even used it outside for some of our projects!

Best Portable Vacuum
This is my go to. It's light and easy to carry around and use. It does an excellent job of picking up all debris. I haven't tried the squeegee yet or vacuuming up anything wet. I also have the Shark vacuum which is great but I use this one for anything other than vacuuming the entire house.

Nifty Little Vacuum. I really like it.
I really dig this little vacuum. It is lightweight so you can carry it around easily. It has excellent suction. I haven't used it to suck up an water yet, I've mostly used it on areas I don't want to use my regular house vacuum on. I have carpet and three dogs, so inevitably little bits of paper, cardboard, toys, etc. wind up in the corners/at the base boards. This vacuum is perfect for picking those up. I have no doubt it will also be excellent on wet areas.

Perfect for my RV
I own a smaller RV where storage space is limited. I tried using a stick vac but it was awkward to use and a pain to switch tools. I found the Shark MessMaster portable wet/dry vacuum while searching for small canister vacuum and thought it might be a good option to try. The features I like the most are the ability to use any type of bag for debris containment, on board tool storage, included attachments that can manage just about anything I encounter on my RV including the extension wands that make this vacuum easy to use as a regular vacuum and the fact that the inch and a half nozzle size is standard and you can add tools from anywhere. No need to be locked in to just Shark attachments. It is not as quiet as a household type vacuum but certainly livable.

Very handy and efficient
I am an STR cleaner. I purchased this machine specifically for use at one STR that has a freezer that always has excess dirty, frozen ice in it. It's hard to remove. I end up having to pour in water to melt the ice but then removing the water is a pain. This machine is a game changer. It has also been used for quick clean up of spills and to remover water from a clogged drain. So handy and the power surprised me. The tools actually work well

Not the worst, but not the best.
Great little vacuum but the hose keeps snapping at the base. This is the second one we’ve had to return in less than 90 days!

Save your money
They missed the mark on this one. Poor design with short hose and the floating ball constantly trips shutting off suction. Dustbin is empty, vacuum brand new.

Best Vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that is very powerful and cleans up all the mess from carpet and wooden floor. We dropped a glass jar with pickle juice and it clean it all up with no fuss. This surprised us and made us recommend the same vacuum to my parents.

Shark mess master

NEEDS LONGER HOSE
Longest hose offered is 4.5ft? Sad for what’s supposed to be a home use shop vac equivalent.

Why bother
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First time testing a new vacuum cleaner. It is my first with a shark brand. I was so hoping it would replace all the current Bissell ones I have. But no. The hose is way too short, made it very hard on my lower back to cart around. Only good thing is it is a wet and dry vacuum combination.

Amazing suction
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the vacuum you didn't realise you needed in your life until it arrives in your home. It's small and easily portable around the areas of your home that you need it. My son spilt chips in his car seat which during the duration of the ride got squished in. Out comes the Shark Mess Master and they are gone. It comes perfectly packaged, super easy to assemble and does the job fast. The MOST AMAZING feature is not having to get your hands dirty cleaning any filters or washing out dirty stinky containers. For a small portable machine it sure packs a punch, making a quick job of sucking up a dropped raw egg on the ground to German Shepherd fur attached to fluffy carpet. You won't be disappointed.

Vacuum for everyday messes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is an excellent vacuum cleaner for everyday messes. I use it to supplement my Dyson vacuum cleaner for bigger cleans. It was (surprisingly) lightweight and can be used for spills, pet vomit, and to get into those hard-to-reach places. The self-clean mechanism is very neat! All in all, definitely recommend!

Shark MessMaster
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great little machine, perfect for the shed and car clean ups. We have used the machine to clean the cars a few times now, one of the downfalls of this machine is it could have had a longer cord and maybe a little more suction would be good. Worked well on the mats etc of car but did struggle to get some of the sand/dirt from the carpet of the car. Works great in the shed and hubby said he would buy another, he likes the wet/dry option.

Great Lil Vac
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this product for several weeks now, What I can say is that it is a great workhorse for cleaning your car or smaller rooms, The wet function makes spills easier to clean, the one issue I did have with it is the filter catches sometimes, especially if there is a lot of pet hair, if you have long haired critters, be prepared to clean in shifts.

Shark Wet/Dry Vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Product was bulky and very loud. Used in car, ok for getting into hard to reach places but cord prevented easily moving around car. Wouldn't use to vacuum spills,easier to use a mop.
