Shark - Canister Pet Bagless Corded Vacuum

I have a shark pet canister bag less vac and it’s amazing. Power head never clogs and we have 3 long haired people in the house. The Miele c1 is also good, but we needed that power head.

I totally get the satisfaction of seeing the dust bin fill up — there’s something weirdly motivating about it. And honestly, I’m not sure why Shark gets so much hate here. I’ve had a Shark Pet for about three years now and it’s still going strong. It is kind of a pain to empty and I sometimes wish I’d gone bagged,, but if you prefer bagless, it’s actually been a solid option for me. If you want to compare bagless canisters side by side, there’s a [vacuum comparison sheet](https://www.reddit.com/user/lacking_foyer48/comments/1lj76h3/vacuum_cleaners_compared_comprehensive_datasheet/) another Redditor put together that covers all the different styles, specs, and features. Makes it a lot easier to see what you’re really getting for your budget.

I use a shark that has the XL canister for pet hair. I love it and have had the same vacuum for 10 years now. Even bought a 2nd one to use

Everyone says Shark. I had many Shark vacuums. The filters suck. The canisters suck. The brush rolls suck. When they broke or died it was impossible to find anyone who was willing to repair them. I decided to switch to a bagged canister style vacuum. I started with a kenmore because I wasn’t sure I’d like the canister style and Kenmore vacuums are fairly inexpensive. I really liked it. Although it was super heavy. The bags are much cleaner and easier to deal with than the shark canisters. One bag lasts a week or more which means I’m not dumping the canister multiple times during one clean. Filters don’t get as dirty. The Kenmore died after a year but I was able to get it repaired for cheap enough (was a fuse or something). I saved up $ and bought a Miele bagged canister style vacuum and I love it so much. Superior suction. Superior filtration. Light weight. Will never go back to the crappy shark vacuums. I’m a Miele for life. And I can get it repaired or serviced at my local vacuum repair place. I probably spent as much on all the sharks I bought as I did on the Miele.

I have a Shark and the canister is a good size and it worked awesome on pet hair and it’s like super light and generally they are much more cheaper.

We have a Dyson Animal and a Shark Canister style vacuum. We prefer the Shark. Suction is just as good as the Dyson and it’s infinitely more user friendly as far as the attachments and hose cleaning goes. Plus smaller head fits more places like under the bed. The Shark is just a better design.

Why? I like my shark and it’s a canister and it has a few filters. Cleans well, but I’m curious to see why bagged is better

Corded shark stick vac. Not as powerful but man they're easy to move around. I also have a more powerful shark that's a traditional canister. Not as easy to move around but the suction is noticeably stronger.

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

No, shark with duo clean and powerfins or whatever they’re now calling the hair cleaning spikes are the best
