I love shark

I bought it and it revealed that I never really got everything with a broom. I love the clean and empty feature I hated emptying vacuums

Keep your money … not worth it

I have really tried to like this product. Best features are charging station and self cleaning . Boost power is very poorly designed and only gives a boost transitioning from hard floor to carpet. Does not pick up well on hardwood floors. I would return this if I could , but waited too late. SO NOT WORTH THE MONEY.

Perfect vacuum

Best vacuum I’ve ever owned and is nowhere near the cost of its D———— predecessors. Have been using it for a few months now and love the fact that I do not have to get up close and personal with the dirt and debris. It is so easy to maneuver in small spaces and under furniture. It is well made, stores neatly and is always ready to go. It cleans up the whole place and then cleans up itself!

Exceeds expentatios!!!!

The Auto Empty Debris Canister is a game changer for what I thought was a small debris canister. The debris auto detect sensor works great. The baseboard detector works great.

Disappointed

I own Model: BU3521, and thought I would upgrade to this model to keep in a different area of my home. I love the convenience of no cord and vacuuming every day, so I figured since this had more features and it was more expensive it would be an upgrade. What a disappointment, I wish I had bought another BU3521. It's hard to turn on, it doesn't detect the flooring easily - doesn't pick up when vacuuming in reverse like the description says. When I used the power boost, the charge didn't even last 20 minutes. I didn't save the box, so I don't know how I can return and replace with the other model...Shark, can you assist?

Hi Katie, Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re really sorry to hear that your Cordless PowerDetect hasn’t lived up to your expectations, especially since you’ve enjoyed your BU3521 so much. Turning the vacuum on should feel easy, floor detection should be consistent, and the vacuum should pick up effectively in both directions. We understand how frustrating it is when these features don’t work the way they should. We also know how disappointing it feels when the runtime drops too quickly while using power boost. Even without the original box, we’d be happy to take a closer look at your unit and explore options to make this right for you. When you have a moment, please reach out to us here so our team can assist you: https://support.sharkninja.com/contact-us Sincerely, Shark Home
