Two years and it’s now in the landfill
We had a Kirby that I just hated! It was heavy, always smelled like burning rubber, and kicked back debris constantly. I got rid of it and bought this. I just used it and after already running my iRobot minutes before, it pulled out nearly a tank full of pet stuff from the living room alone. I love the different floor options and suction control (that brush roll has some power!).. I’m really looking forward to the roller not getting wrapped up! I’ve always been a fan of shark but the Kirby chick yanked my heart strings and I made a bad choice. Never again. Now the kids have no excuses since it’s lightweight! It even did along the baseboards without a fuss!! Very pleased (so far-it’s literally minutes old) bonus- I can clean rugs I’ve havent been able to in a year bc the Kirby would eat them! This is magic! Update- I used the hardwood setting and vacuumed up cat litter in our bathroom without any kickback! Update update- i still love it a week later! Probably more now. If I could marry it and it could financially support me, I would! Update update update: it’s now 3 was later and we are still very happy together. I took this to work and it did fantastic. People were seriously amazed that this wasn’t something super expensive or commercial oriented. The roller bar underneath did fantastic. No tangles and it was easy to remove things I accidentally ran over that I shouldn’t have. Oops! We had a carpet of used staples removed and I forgot about it as I sucked every one up without any fear of getting pegged in the legs. This seriously beats any vacuum I have ever owned, Kirby and dyson included. Update- 3 months later abs the roll brush stopped working. I contacted shark and they sent me a new one after sending back my old. So keep your box bc it’s super hard to find a vacuum shaped box to return it in! Update-down to one star. 2 years later and it’s awful. It’s kicking everything back out and just now, it stopped sucking altogether. When I stand it up to use the hose, it’s like it’s not even powered on anymore. I’ve maintained it and cleaned it regularly. No idea why it’s done this and now I’m not sure what to do- Update-2.5 years and it’s in the trash. It stopped suctioning, kicking back everything, hose broke in multiple places, and filters just seem to stop it up even brand new ones.. goes to show that quality is definitely not a standard in products anymore. Very disappointed. Don’t buy this one unless you are looking to trade in every two years.
