User Reviews about Shark 2-in-1 Cordless Stick Vac and Handheld Vacuum Cleaner - SV800\VX63

I think it's a great little stick vac that performs well. I've read some of the critical comments and have some rebuttals.

- Please read the manual as it will resolve most "problems" and misconceptions.
- Complaint: The handle does not recline. Solution: It does when you step on the head while pressing the handle down.
- Complaint: The collection cup pops off randomly. Solution: Make sure it clicks when you put in on.
- Complaint: Power fades too quickly after about 10 minutes. Solution: Manual notes that the battery should be charged for 24 hours when first charged. After that, the charge will last progressive longer with each charge. My only complaints here are that it doesn't specify how long it should be charged after the initial charge and it doesn't estimate how long the charge will last. Also, the red indicator light remains on while charging but there is no indication when it is fully charged. The battery should be left in the charger (and charging) when it is not in the vac and the charger should be unplugged when the battery is not in it (and charging).
- Complaint: It is too noisy. Solution: there are 2 levels of power. Low for bare floors and high (noisier) for carpets. If you use the higher level for floors, it will be noisier.
- Complaint: Not enough suction. Solution: It seems to have plenty for light vacuuming. Remember, it's a stick vac and not a full sized power vacuum.
- Complaint: Hair wraps around brush. Solution: True, but not overly so in my experience. I'm bald but my cat is not. I believe this "problem" would occur with any vac.
- Problem: The debris cup is too small so it requires more frequent emptying that a regular vacuum bag. Solution: True, but it is a stick vac.
- Problem: It's too complicated to use the hand vac option. Solution: REALLY! The manual and printed directions on the vac itself seem clear enough to me.
- Problem: When to change the filter. Solution: Each time the battery wears down and you are recharging it.

This little vacum is easy to use and does a good job, the only problem is the battery does not last long.
I have a 4X8 shag rug and it really runs the battery down fast. -- Shark Cleaner

i have been looking for a vac that would pick up dog hair on my vinyl floor. this one does an excellent job. the battery only lasts for one use but that is fine i just recharge it and i am ready for the next time. -- great on pet hair
