I just got my first Shark vacuum, Wow  I love it. I'm so happy that I got one ! The Shark Wand Vac self empty vacuum has powerful cleaning force. Some assembly required, but not much and it's easy. I vacuumed a large black area rug with the Shark, my carpet looks nearly new again. No more tripping over cords. So easy to use, I can go room to room without any hassle. Great vacuum if you have allergies, it self cleans it's self, also there's several filters. Excellent for cleaning any hairs on carpet and can also be used on wood floors. Charging system is so easy. Removable hand wand is great for small tight spots. I very highly recommend the Shark Wand Vac self empty vacuum!!
