Shark SV1106 Navigator Freestyle Upright Bagless Cordless Stick Vacuum for Carpet, Hard Floor and Pet with XL Dust Cup and 2-Speed Brushroll, White/Grey

Works well easy to use.
This works well, it’s easy to use. I find I clean more often for a short period of time as it’s so handy to grab and easy to vacuum now. Battery lasts as long as it’s quoted in the description. I’ve used it for two months and cleaned hopper every time I’ve used it or when the container looks full. I’ve had no problem with Hair, but obviously any bristle is going to grab some hair eventually and will need lite cleaning. If you take care of it as directed it should last a long time. Not to mention it’s lightweight and fits under most of my furniture and the beds. I love it.

Easy to use. Doesn’t last very long.
To start with….I love this vacuum. It’s lightweight, easy to empty and works great on my many carpeted stairs. Also it works over all the ruggables throughout the house. My other vacuum cleaners pull the top part away from the velcro and jam up the beater brush. This vacuum is powerful but manages not to get jammed up with the ruggables. My one big complaint: I go through one of these vacuums every year. I use it everyday on the first floor of my house. The problem: I go to start the vacuum by tapping the power button and nothing happens or for a brief moment it starts and then dies. I watched the YouTube videos on troubleshooting for this model and followed the instructions. They indicated that almost always the above “behavior” means there is a plug or jam. I keep the filters clean and have checked for jams (there haven’t been). I chalk this up to a year of constant use and after all for the price I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise that it doesn’t last past about a year and a half. And because it would cost more than I paid for it to repair it I just by another. I have a standby corded Dyson to pick up the slack. I don’t like having to dispose of my no longer working Sharks in a landfill.

Not happy.
There are exactly two things I like about this vacuum – the portable size/weight and the fact that it’s battery operated. That is where the love ends. I don’t think I’ve written a “bad” review before, but my annoyance about this product has compelled me to do so. Our home is 90% wood flooring with one decent sized low-nap area rug – seems like we should be a perfect fit for this type of vacuum, but I find that there are more things it WON’T suck up than stuff it will and this is very noticeable with bare feet on a wood floor. My list of things this vacuum won’t suck up -1. Cheerios (or similar small pieces of cereal/crackers/what-have you.) We have a child and these items are at least 50% of the reason we vacuum in the first place. It might fling it, even break it…but it really doesn’t want to suck these up.2. Sand or rock chips – we live on a gravel road. Little tiny bits of rock and sand end up around our doorway…this vacuum appears to suck them up, only to spit them back out elsewhere in my home as I continue to vacuum. I think they just get caught in the brush. I’m not talking big rocks here…just teeny little bits of sand! I’ve tried with both speeds of the brush – the higher speed just flings them everywhere.3. Small scraps of paper – see number 1. We have a child. Why are these tiny lightweight bits of paper so difficult to vacuum? I can go back and forth over it 20 times and MAYBE it will suck it up if I hit it just right.4. The straw that broke the camel’s back today? A plastic swing tag. You know, the kind that holds a price tag onto a new shirt – only minus the actual price tag. Just a tiny, insignificant piece of plastic and it WOULD NOT SUCK IT UP. I tried every angle. I tried for longer than I care to admit. I would have wasted less time and energy by getting a broom and dustpan (for all the above, really!)I will say, this this thing WILL suck up pet hair fairly decently. That’s really all I have to say that’s positive about the suction. We tried troubleshooting as much as we could – emptying out the vac regularly, etc. No dice.So, onto the next problem – somewhere around the third week of usage, our unit came apart right where the floor portion meets the upright portion (photo attached.) There is nothing that broke from what we can tell – just sort of a plug that pushes into a groove (with no locking mechanism), so very easy to put back together, but now comes apart every time we pull the vacuum back towards us when vacuuming our area rug. It’s literally so loose of a connection, that we now have to push it around (no pulling!) on the rug to vacuum it which seems like a heck of a lot of fuss considering it still doesn’t suck up the stuff. We purchased this as a replacement for a vacuum that never gave us trouble until it just died one day. I just bought a newer version of that vacuum here on amazon. I’m done with this thing!

Cordless with good function

Totally in love with my Shark. (Yes, should get out more.) Seriously though all the excellent reviews are correct and they decided my purchase. Superb machine. Tested it on arrival on just a portion of shag carpet and could not believe what it picked up. I am too ashamed to show you all the photo. Some reviews say it is not so efficient on hard floors. I have not found that. It is a superb cleaner of carpeted and hard wood floors at a very competitive price. So glad I have it. So glad too that I chose cordless and bagless. Easy to charge it is also a good looking vacuum – if that is what floats your boat – looking more expensive than it is. Very highly recommended without hesitation.

Works very well on carpet and hard floors. The only issue is that it wouldn’t be suitable for areas with lots of carpet. The dirt compartment is very small and needs frequent emptying. Other than that it cleans up good. Very light weight and versatile. I do find that it takes a while to fully charge and I don’t like how the light still blinks once it’s charged, it’s very bright and annoying at night. So I take it off the charger once it’s done. Also it doesn’t come with any crevice tools, so it’s strictly a floor vacuum. Which is fine for me but may not be for everyone.
