Shark cordless stick vacuum

Name: Shark cordless stick vacuum
Brand: Shark

The vacuum you actually use daily, provided the brush roll comes out.

Photograph illustrates the category, not this exact model.

What it is good at

Being light enough to grab for a two-minute clean
Reaching under furniture with a low profile
Converting to a handheld for stairs and cars

Check before you buy

Whether the battery can be replaced, and its price
Whether the brush roll lifts out for cutting hair off it
Filter type: washable means no consumables, sealed means a part to buy

Who it is not for

Anyone with wall-to-wall high-pile carpet, which needs an upright with a powered head.

A cordless vacuum earns its place by being used, and it is used when maintenance is trivial. That is why the removable brush roll matters more than the quoted suction.

Batteries are the second life limit. If the pack is not replaceable, the machine has a fixed lifespan of a few years.
