I always love shark products, but this vacuum system is a little off to me. I love that it's small and light weight, it fits in those small nooks and crannies perfectly! However having a lab dog, and young kids I really need a vacuum with string suction, which I don't feel like this vacuum has. 

I feel like this is more for a quick clean up of a mess, such as when I had sand in my entry way. It's not really meant for whole house cleaning. The suction is weak, and the battery also dies relatively quickly. I do like the detachable handheld portion though. The hand held is great for using on furniture or even in your car. I would say it depends on what you'll be cleaning if this vacuum will be right for you or not.
