There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I read all the reviews here and the one that sold me was someone saying how it good it worked on their wood floor and how much time it saved them. I HATE sweeping our wood floor. It's a pain. And it's dark wood so it shows the dirt fast. It really needs at least a once a day sweep. But the way I was doing it (sweep into piles then use the handheld vac to suck up the piles...often having to stop to empty the dust cup multiple times because it's so small) was really time consuming and didn't inspire me to want to do it. So I didn't.
Being more efficient with my time was part of my New Year's goals. So I figured I'd give this a shot. OMG I wish I had seen that infomercial sooner and hadn't hesitated to go ahead and just fork out the dough for this so much sooner. My cleaning time is easily cut in half. Because not only can I do a quick vac pass on the wood floor, I can also do the carpets with a push of the button...all at the same time.
I don't have cords to monkey with, don't have to move the coffee table (which is super heavy) out of the way anymore. This flexes and passes right under.
We have 3 cats so I do have to stop and empty the dust cup, maybe even twice if I do carpets and wood at the same time. And I have found that for a quick clean up I don't have to sweep first, but for a deeper clean before mopping it's best to make my piles then suck them up with this vac, which still makes my job faster because I (a) don't have to bend over and (b) can suck it up all at once with only one emptying stop at the trash can.
It's also more substantial than I was expecting. I had a Shark product years ago. It worked fine for a year then quit. I bought another and it died in about a year too. Or broke. But I remembered liking them, just that they felt kind of cheap and couldn't take my abuse. I switched to Ergorapidos which have lasted me for years now. (I have two, one upstairs and one down.)
This vac however is much sturdier than the previous Shark products I'd owned. It is a little heavier than I was expecting too, BUT compared to my 25+ year old Royal? Less heavy, I don't have to worry about, "Is this the day the belt breaks and I have to spend 20 minutes wrestling with it?" (Which inevitably happens at THE worst time-crunched moments.) And NO MORE CHANGING FILTER BAGS! Omg trying to fit a new bag back on the hose...I've had 2+ decades worth of practice and I still have to fight with it every time.
Nope. Not now. I never thought I'd be excited about vacuuming or cleaning my wood floors but now I'm looking for excuses to clean, all just so I can play with my new "toy. Even the stairs, which, let's face it, is even worse than sweeping wood floors in my cleaning book, but, "Why not go ahead and do them quick too?" is my new thought process. Which if I could insert the mind blown emoji here I would!
My house hasn't been this clean in the 13 years we've lived here. So, yeah, this earns 5 stars from me and my hub for sure!
Cons:
1) Heavier than the Dyson cordless.
2) A bit more bulky, but I'm getting used to it.
3) I read it's supposed to be less noisy, but I think it's a high-pitch, nosier vacuum and all my pets are scared of it. With the Dyson, only some of my pets were scared when I ran it. I think it's the higher pitch noise. (They'll get used to it ;)
Pros:
1) Suction is WAY stronger than the Dyson cordless.
2) I can fully get under my beds now with the way the Duo Flex bends.
3) It picks up all the cat food around the bowl and larger items on the floor without my having to grab the long attachment and remove the vacuum.
4) Having two batteries is cool. I honestly tried the higher power and the battery lasted like 10 minutes. So I tried the regular power and it did the same exact job and the battery lasted about 20-25 minutes.
5) The canister appears smaller, but it honestly collected a lot of hair and dirt before I had to dump it. I would have made it a bit bigger, but it's fine.
6) The on/off button is a DREAM! No more callouses on my fingers from holding any buttons down. Yippee. It's a solid base. Much higher quality product than the Dyson. It's made to last without all these thin, plastic pieces holding two pieces together.
7) The strength and suction alone makes this well worth having over the Dyson, aside from all the other pluses.
8) I charged both batteries fully before my first use. Then I used both batteries until they were drained in one use, because that's easy to do with all my animals (17 of them with my small zoo). Then, I am using one here and there and not charging it again until it's fully drained. Some people were complaining about that, but it's not a big deal since I always have a back up.
I'd go for the Shark ION Flex 2x versus the Dyson. Sorry Dyson, it was time to say goodbye after my years of investing and you couldn't fix obvious issues for us after all we spent on your products. You're not the best anymore.
It is well designed - to switch from stick to handheld you can step on a button on the bottom of the unit so you don't have to bend down all the time - this is so convenient and intuitive I hate the rocket for not having it now
It is worth buying the extra attachments as the multifunction crevice tool is ok but not great (the brush doesn't stay in place)
The brush roller is great on the floors without damaging them
It works ok on the the throw rugs and area rugs - I have all hard floors so I can't speak to how it does on carpet
It folds up small for storage in tiny places.
The ability to switch to a hand vac is a dream for the stairs and tight places.
The battery life is good and it is pretty light
It costs a bit , but worth every penny
Edit
Now that I have had this for a while, I like it even better.
The suction is almost as good as the corded shark.
It has better design features - easier to switch between attachments, , easier to get under things.
I was going to use this only for quick clean ups, but it gets behind and under things so much better that I use it all the time now.
Get the one with 2 batteries. Battery lasts about 30 min
I use it for mostly hard floors but works pretty good on the few rugs that I have.
Attachments from shock rocket fit this model - if it came with these attachments it would be perfect - almost perfect as is and best vacuum I have ever had,
Top reviews from other countries
it works well,
picks up the dog hair with no problem,
It's easy to clean and also take apart.
We have experienced at times the unit may be overheating or heat up too much.
We just have to wait until the lights stop flashing and the unit cools down and works really good again???
Still happy with the vacuum.
I personally think this vacuum is brilliant and would recommend it to anyone requiring a flexible, convenient, strong and dependable portable vacuum cleaner. The two-batteries supplied are more than enough to complete our 2600sq ft home (full broadloom lower/vinal flooring with area rugs upper). The flex pole (which I at first it thought a bit wobblily and would surly break) has held up wonderfully. It’s so easy to just touch a button and the pole elbow bends to enable easy vacuuming under beds, chairs, tables and legged cabinets.
After two years of weekly use, I have even greater confidence in this vacuum than before.
It is really powerful, easy to clean, has a hyper filter and is so very convenient to use.
This is the best vacuum I’ve ever used (and I never would have believed I’d say that)!
I have no connection whatsoever with the company. I’m just a very satisfied customer. 5 stars to Shark!
