Shark IZ363HT Anti-Allergen Pet Power Cordless Stick Vacuum Self-Cleaning Brusholl, PowerFins, Crevice Tool, Dusting Brush, Pet Multi-Tool & Anti-Allergen Dusting Brush, 50min Runtime, Blue

I have 5 cats - 2 of them are older Maine Coons who have long hair and at the age where it sheds easily. I also have long hair. I got really tired of sweeping my downstairs twice a day from cat litter, etc. All but my bedroom downstairs has the fake wood flooring (no better way to describe it). In recent years, Ive owned two Dyson Ball vacuums and neither have ever worked well and have needed frequent repairs. Ive also owned a Shark Rocket vacuum and while it was easier to maneuver, the hose just below the floor attachment cracked and duct tape wouldnt cut it anymore. So.... I bought this one on Black Friday this past November. I really didnt care that one of the accessory attachments was missing - hardly use those anyway. Using this twice a day has made my upper arm chronically sore, but still easier than sweeping morning and night. Pros: it did what I wanted it to do and made my daily cleaning a lot easier, (other than the sore arm!). It sits nicely up close against a wall and easy to keep charged. Its also true that hair does NOT get wrapped around the brushes! I got very tired of having to cut out the hair every time I used my other Shark Rocket vac. Cons: One of the same reasons I hated my Dyson vacs, getting the hair out of the canister requires using my hands to sweep or pull it out. All the filters in the world in bagless vacuums are useless when you end up attempting to empty the canister! Plus the cat litter forms a powder that leaves a residue in the canister. Also, hair wound around the tiny front wheels in the first couple of uses and is virtually impossible to get back off. I dont even think they can turn anymore and its been less than 2 months since I started using this machine. The bigger back wheels also squeak now. While the vacuum has plenty of suction power to pick up litter, cat food crumbs, etc., it will only do so when vacuuming forwards. Pulling the vacuum backwards, causes these things to be spit back out. I have yet to take this machine upstairs where I have all carpet. It does fine in the one room downstairs, so Im not sure how it would do running it longer upstairs (still use one of my Dysons up there). So, my review is incomplete. Like I said, its also only been 2 months since I purchased this. This is my first cordless vacuum and I love the cordless factor. Its definitely kept my floors downstairs much cleaner than just sweeping (cut down on need to mop, which I hate) and my bedroom carpet has been much easier to keep under control, because its much easier to use than my previous vacuum cleaners. However, with all the issues already present (especially with the wheels), its questionable how long this thing will last. Well have to wait and see, I guess.

This replaces my Dyson vacuum and does such a better job. We have 2 cats and Im amazed at all the hair we pick up on a day to day basis. Its lightweight, easy to handle, easy to convert to hand held, and easy to empty. Battery life is decent and I love not having a cord to deal with!

Overall, its a nice vacuum and great for hair given the squeegy style roller. But, wont stand on its own so storing isnt great. Also, unlike other Shark vacs I have, there is no front roller for against walls so misses about an inch near walls.

4/5 for this product thus far due to missing accessories in the box from what is described to be in the box, which i’ve seen is a trend in this product unfortunately but missing the dust brush which isn’t the end of the world but is one reason i decided on buying this vacuum. Overall i’m very happy with this vacuum, i have an off brand robot vacuum that runs every other day but with 2 dogs it just wasn’t cutting it. the robot vacuum could run and i could do a pass with the shark right after and the dust canister is pack full of hair still, so needless to say it does a great job on dog and human hairs.

You will need to order an extra battery if you use to vacuum entire house.

Don’t understand why you don’t get all of the attachments shown. That’s the one thing that disappointed me.

Works well getting the dogs hair up off our hardwood floors

Great vacuum but I wish that the charge would last longer. Otherwise, it’s good for my small condo.

I had high hopes for this vacuum. Shark is my go to brand for vacuums. This holds a charge to vacuum the whole house, which isn’t huge. At first the auction power was great. After a month or so, it is merely average. We have two furry dogs and although it does pick up the dog hair, it doesn’t always suck it into the canister. It gets caught at the vacuum head hole to the stick. Also the stick doesn’t stay tight fitting. It becomes loose. If I want a quick way to vacuum in a pinch I use this. If I want to be certain I have vacuumed the floors thoroughly, I use my real vacuum.

This is light weight, lasts a decent amount of time between charging and is great for spot cleaning the floors, both carpet and hard settings. If you have a lot of pets, you will have to empty the container more often, but it keeps the house looking clean.
