I have been seriously impressed, but also quite disappointed by this Shark vacuum.
Firstly the good points. Minimal assembly is needed out of the box, and it comes with a stand which holds all the cleaning tools when not in use. This is a great feature because it means you are less likely to misplace them if you're putting the unit away in a rush. The Shark is super light and its small size means reaching smaller spots is nice and easy, too. The waste container is easy to empty, and the manufacturer provided sticker shows you how, so you don't even need to glance at the manual before getting going. Suction has been very impressive, beating the 12v cigarette lighter car vacuum I've been using by a long stretch. It picks up all small and medium-sized pieces of dirt/rubbish on first pass through, and has a wide enough nozzle so it doesn't get blocked too often.
The downside unfortunately is the battery. 10 minutes simply isn't long enough, especially when the claimed charging time is 2.5 hours! I have managed to clean the car without it going flat, however if you plan to use it intensively in the house, the two battery option may be a better option.
Overall I have really enjoyed using this vacuum. It provides great suction, feels robust and has a practical as well as functional charging dock. It's just a shame about the battery.
