Shark - Bagless Cylinder Pet Vacuum

I have owned 2 Shark's now, the first one was an upright, and was quite good, but at 4 years and 11 months the hose split, and (thanks to the 5 year warranty) the retailer ended up giving a credit as Shark couldn't repair it or get parts (bit of a red flag) We then stuck with the stick vac for a while until a couple of years ago when we got another Shark, a bagless barrel vac with powered brush. It. Is. TERRIBLE. Not only does it not provide anywhere near enough suction, the rollers or hose clog at the drop of a hat, and the emptying system is sure to leave more dust on the floor than you can get off it with this vacuum. About a week ago, sick of going over and over the carpet, I finally dragged the cheapo $200 Karcher T 7/1 I use for car detailing in from the shed. With just the standard suction head (no brush at all), it managed to get dog and cat hair off the carpet that I thought was ingrained in it it had been there so long. It serioulsy looked like I had had the carpet steam cleaned. So, to answer your question, the best Shark to get is another brand. And on that note, does anyone have any good recommendations? Or should I just buy another Karcher for the house and have 2 the same... only downside I find is the 3 part plastic pipe feels a bit flimsy (Don't need this for cars)

Not entirely true. We have the shark pet vac, bag-less. We’ve had it for 9 years now and no issues!

Shark every time. I’ve had Henry and I can’t stand him (they’re good but I don’t personally like them and they’re heavy) I am on my second shark and I love it, light weight and picks up the dog hair (we have the pet one) even my mum who has had countless vacuum makes swears by shark now

Yeh best one I have found for pets especially cat hair, has to be the pet friendly Shark. Had mine for 5 years no which is the longest I have owned a vacuum cleaner, they normally burn out within 2 yrs but the Shark has proven to be the best

Bummer, because this is the recommendation I was going to make, also. We got a Shark animal 2 years ago to replace our previous regular Shark that was 10+ yrs old

I’ve had a corded shark pet vacuum for probably 9-10 years. It still works great. I definitely recommend a shark.

Agree. My Shark pet-friendly corded vacuum beautifully handles both my cats (one with med/long hair), as well as my own very long hair. I’ve had it ~4yrs. (Meanwhile my brother does nothing but complain about his Dyson pet.)

I don't recommend shark. We bought it, it's alright, but we still use our corded shark for the heavy lifting.

Corded Shark, I got my second one after 10 years. We have dogs, cats and kids. It does very well, would recommend.

I have a corded Shark. It sucks... but in a good way.
