(checked 2026-10-10)The listing pools several color variants.
Amazon's best-selling stick vacuum, with more than 16,000 ratings. But the reviews are polarized: Amazon's summary flags mixed suction and battery life and reports of units breaking within two months, and we found no hands-on expert test we could read.
Top complaints
- Breaks early
Amazon's review summary says durability gets negative feedback, with multiple customers saying it broke within two months. Low-star Walmart reviews call the quality very poor and say it 'just didn't work' from the start.
- Mixed suction
Amazon's summary says suction, cleaning and pet-hair pickup get mixed feedback: some owners praise the suction, while others say it doesn't pick up debris effectively. A 1-star Walmart owner says it doesn't pick up dirt at all, and another says it had no suction after 5 minutes.
- Short battery life
Amazon owners are split between a long-lasting charge and short battery life. A Walmart owner says it barely lasts 15 minutes, and Walmart's summary says runtime can drop to about 20 minutes. Vacuum Wars notes Shark's 40-minute claim is measured on the hand vac in standard mode with no accessories.
What owners love
- Owners like its pet-hair pickup
Walmart's review summary says it picks up pet hair easily and works on multiple floor types. Some Amazon owners say it picks up everything well.
- Light and simple
Walmart's summary praises its lightweight design, simple setup and quick emptying.

What experts say
- Vacuum Wars: Spec article, not a test: it sits below Shark's premium cordless models, with a single bristle brushroll and fixed wand, and lacks dual brushrolls, a bending wand and debris detection. Listed at $249.99.
