NO LIE!!! IT IS AMAZING!!
I read all the reviews and was hoping for the best. This vacuum cleaner showed me that I was cheating myself and not treating myself. Within 2 minutes of vacuuming my canister was full. That's how dirty my carpet in my living room was and I'm a pretty tidy person. You can feel the strength of the suction. It is unbelievable! Picture attached is 2 minutes of vacuuming.

DO NOT BUY!!!!
Do not buy! Bought 7/25/22 and the base came apart with wires exposed on 8/23/22. Of course, base is not covered under warranty and they wanted $89 for a vacuum that cost $99. Oh but they offered a 50% discount. Never buying this brand again!

    Good Vacuum With Caveats
    I bought this on sale for $100 and I wouldnt pay more than that for it. The suction on it is great and it does very well on area rugs. It also picks up things like cat litter well. However, the cord is quite short and has no automatic wind. Part of the reason I bought this was because you could lift off the canister to vacuum stairs, but I don't even use that feature. The cord keeps you stuck to the rest of the vacuum and the hose isn't very convenient to hold because of the handle on it. The vacuum itself tends to fall over due to the weight of the canister (even when empty) and it feels a bit flimsy. Overall, it's an okay vacuum but I don't expect it to last long term and won't repurchase when it gives out.

    Do not buy this vacuum it has multiple issues!!!
    Don't buy this vacuum. It is the worst shark vacuum I have seen the quality is not the same. It is hard to push it is hard to get the hose out to clean in crevices and the end of the hose is so wierd you would have to use one of the attachments to get it to work well. I am not one who ever uses the attachments and do not want to stop what I am doing to put it on then take it off. That is if I can ever get the hose out to use it the button is in a weird place and I really had to pull to get it out. It's not even the same color as the picture. It has two weird hook things you have to detach to empty the canister all the other ones had one easy button. The hose connected to the brush roller which none of the other models ever had constantly came off so I was vacuuming nothing a few times. It is such a bad design it kept getting knocked off and I wouldn't notice right away. The dust cup is smaller than usual and all around this is the worst shark ever. I am returning it and getting a different brand because the quality is just not there anymore unfortunately. Hope this helps! Don't buy this one!

    Great suction—Faulty Construction
    This vac has great suction and works well. However, pieces are beginning to fall off and I've only had it 3 months. When I pushed the release to use the wand, it all popped off and now doesn't function. So the wand comes out now when you try to vacuum the floor. Trying to return and it's not letting me—though it says it can be returned until November 22.

    I usually really like the Shark brand, however this model is not like their others. I started having issues with it within the first month. The wheels and internal rollers would get stuck and clogged with by the littlest amount of hair. I have pets so I have to use it everyday. I don't recommend purchasing it.

    Unfortunate purchase.
    This is a piece of junk. The newer models are work horses. This one, bought as an extra vacuum for our upstairs, has multiple problems. It is lower to the floor so hard to push, the roller bar works only occasionally even though it is unobstructed, etc.

    Awesome Vacuum!!!
    This Shark vacuum is amazing!!! I've had it for 6 months now. It's unbelievable how much dirt and carpet refresher it pulls up even when you don't physically see it on the carpet until you look at what's in the canister!!! The suction power is awesome!!! I truly feel it's worth the money!!!

    A vacuum that's easy to push
    This vacuum is perfect for me. It is lightweight which is nice and easy to use even though I have parkinsons disease and schizophrenia and other health issues. It was easy to assemble. It is easy to push and has different settings for hard floor and carpet. It swivels. I love it.

    Good vacuum for the price.
    Likes: Easy unboxing and assembly. Works good, strong suction and easy to maneuver. Dislikes: The color is definitely more of a darker emerald green. It looks more teal in the picture.

    GO SHARK
    love love love. originally I had ordered this Shark and a Swiffer vacuum. I cant push big vacuums. When the Swiffer arrives, I am returning it. Nothing against it. My sister highly recommends for daily cleaning. I will my Shark for daily cleaning. Small yet strong. So strong, i thought my large carpet area rug needed cleaning. I obviously needed a new vacuum. Haven't used the lift off feature yet. but had to right this review. Don't understand the nay-sayers. Go SHARK!

    Disappointed. Promptly returned!
    Bought it for the extra large dust cup, then saw the “max fill line” was slightly less than the halfway mark on the canister! What a joke. What's the point?!

    Super Amazing Very Powerful
    Can I just say this is a very powerful vacuum! I bought one back in 2019 and it quit due to motor being clogged up. This vacuum is amazing it's a little hard to push at times due to the Suction of it but it definitely pulls up dirt and anything else in its way. So happy I invested the money to buy a new one. After seeing what was pulled up we finally got the ok from landlord to remove our carpet. Even tho the picture is disgusting I'm so glad we actually seen what was pulling up in our carpet. You will not be unsatisfied with the vacuum and for 114$ that's with tax and extra warranty. You have nothing to lose

    Will never own another sweeper but a shark.
    I have found numerous sweepers from Bissell to Hoover but by far my Shark Lift-Away as I have a lot of pets and have owned a lot of pets in the Years this one the hair in the dirt and how it works and how easy it was to put together it just snaps together it wasn't like all these screws that you needed with other sweepers this is the most amazing sweeper I have ever owned and I will not own another one when you own pets Why Pay five $600 when I paid $100 for my shark and it does just as well if not better as my 22 $300 sweeper that broke. The one thing I did wish it had was I did wish that it would come with more attachment that you did not have to buy separately because it didn't give me a order form which would have been nice to have an order form so I could order the attachments instead of going online and hunting them down but that's the only down thing that I have is I would like to have an order form for the so that I can get more attachment for it to come with more.

    Great Vacuum!
    Great vacuum! Sucks up everything! Very strong suction! Only recommendation is to be able to adjust the level of suction. There's two options carpet or floor. That's it.

    Its saved me from wearing our doggies shedded hair
    We have two dogs and the pic is literally how much hair and junk in a single day it picked up! Its crazy and yes she sheds a lot...but we love them! Once you go sharx you don't go back. If the cost is hard to swallow, buy it on Black Friday when its on sale every where for under $125! It's an amazing difference!

    Absolutely wonderful machine
    This machine is amazing, it picked up so much unseen debris from carpets that had just been professionally cleaned. If you have a problematic back this machine is the one for you, it comes apart easily to insert accessories and using the wand makes cleaning stairs and crevices so easy

    BUY IT NOW! DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!
    Love this Vacuum! I have mostly all carpet in my house and have tried literally ever vacuum before I broke down and bought this one. I didn't know my carpet was so dirty! The suction on this vacuum is AMAZING! I ended up emptying the can 6x before I finished my whole house. I'll never own another vacuum!

    Leaks above brushroll
    seems to work great but it leaks! i checked all the seals and everything is good. leaks out of the clear cover over the brush head. Went to the Shark website and the CU510 series doesnt even show up. No wonder it was half off. Shark is usually good product. Not this model. could just be a manufacturer defect.
