This is the first Shark vacuum I have ever purchased and I am not disappointed. It is easy to use, switching from hard floor to carpet and switching to tools is a breeze. It has powerful suction and doesn’t scatter debris on hard floors. I didn’t realize how disgusting my floors were until I saw how much dirt this thing picks up. I thought the swivel steering would be annoying but it’s actually been quite helpful when avoiding the toys I refuse to pick up off the floor for the hundredth time.  My dogs like to rub their stank all over the floor but none of that blows up in my face thanks to the filters. I literally vacuum everyday and I actually enjoy doing it!
