Especially, when turned on to carpet mode, the vacuum basically propels itself forward, so it may feel heavier.Īlso, I heard bad things about Shark warranties, which is why I bought the Amazon Asurion insurance for around $35. I, 5ft11 (M), find this vacuum to be very lightweight, however, my mother finds it to be on the heavier side, near the handle. However, I don’t have allergies, so that’s not a huge deal, but it’s important to take note. However, I noticed across Shark’s vacuum line that their Rocket and stick form vacuums DO NOT have the Anti-Allergen Seal, so I guess it will not keep all dust in the bin and will blow somewhat of it back in the air. I really like the way it’s designed for emptying, the whole dust compartment comes out. It truly never tangles! That alone is a selling point considering the price point. The Zero-M anti-tangling brush bar is a life saver. This vacuum mainly relies on the brush bar power, and has pretty weak suction. I have noticed that without the cleaner head, just at the handle, when I attached the crevice tool, there is practically no suction.

I spilled coffee beans on the floor the other day, and it did not spit in behind or in front.

On hard floor, the Duo Clean roller really picks up the larger chunks of dirt and debris. With the cleaner head, this is great for carpet, and especially in homes with lots of pet hair, this is a game changer.
