Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro Plus Cordless Hand Vacuum, Black, CH951

Every other handheld vacuum I’ve owned has eventually let me down. This one is the exception. I got the yellow-and-black version at a great price, and honestly, who cares what color a vacuum is? Not me. The suction is surprisingly strong, the dirt bin is easy to empty, and the powered brush head is the real winner. We have two small dogs, so there is always hair on the couch. Training them to stay off the furniture has been somewhat less successful than the vacuum. I’ve owned other handheld vacuums where the brush head was powered only by the suction. Those attachments eventually ended up in the trash. This powered head actually works and does a great job picking up pet hair. This is what a handheld vacuum should be: powerful, easy to use, good battery life, strong suction, and a rotating brush head that actually does its job. Add in a reasonable price and a brand I trust, and both my wife and I are very happy with it.

I read many reviews for hand vacs before I bought one, and so glad I found the Shark! The reviews are all accurate. Lightweight, strong suction, battery charge lasts around 15 minutes, on and off button is a little annoying because you accidentally hit it while you’re vacuuming, but everything else is beyond amazing so I don’t mind that one little thing at all. This little gem just sucks the long Maine Coon cat hair and cat litter right up. It’s perfect and I’m so glad I found it!

Much to my dismay, my 8 year old Shark handheld vacuum finally died recently - not surprising since it was so old and used multiple times daily, but I was still sad to find that the exact same model is no longer made. I'm autistic and I don't generally do well with "change"...even if the new item may be an upgrade. This particular newer model of Shark handheld seemed like the closest thing to my old beloved original Shark. Overall, I really like this new handheld Shark. Suction is definitely more powerful than my previous one, and the two attachments that come with it are helpful. The attachments from my old model do not fit on the new one. This new one is much slimmer design and more lightweight - both improvements from my old model. I appreciate that, like my old one, the power button can be slid on and off and kept in that position, you don't need to constantly hold the power button down while using the vacuum, which is very annoying but for some reason some other popular brands of handheld vacuums still insist on using that style. However, I do not like this style of power button...unlike my old one, this button is recessed and very low profile, and difficult to switch up or down. I actually have to use both hands to flip the switch, which is quite inconvenient while cleaning messes - and it still hurts my hand! The old model had a raised power button that was so much easier to push into position. I wish they would have kept that former design! (Attaching a photo comparison of the two different styles of vacuums in this review so you can see the power button differences). All in all, this is a great handheld vacuum at the price point. It cleans cat litter, crumbs, cat hair and dust bunnies with ease and seems to have good battery life. My only complaint is the difficult to push power button, which is enough of an annoyance that I have to dock a star from the review. Still worth the money, but I hope they rethink this button design in the future.

This is the best effing vacuum I’ve ever had. I’ve had hand held dyson vacuums but nothing compares to this bad boy. It is such a great vacuum for the price. Holds a lot, easy to clean, and the suction is great! Even my fiance is jealous and wants to steal my vacuum for his car! 🙄😂 I honestly love it so much. I was on the fence for a good vacuum but I am so glad I went with the shark! Great for small needs like picking up hair or food crumbs in your car. The battery holds the charge for a long time as well!!

This is what I've always wanted. Before, I bought "cheaper" ones from different brands. Not nearly as capable as this. Plus, they stopped working unusually soon. This one. It's a godsend. It's like a standing vacuum cleaner in your hand. I love it. It has a brush. Picks up everything. It's not too heavy, but it's solid. Easy charge. One power level. I am pleased and wanted to share.

This vacuum is a convenient tool for quick, targeted cleanups, especially in a home with pets, but it has some clear limitations. I'm mainly writing this review because I spend a long time reading reviews of things that I want to buy and I honestly should have listened to the folks on here saying that the battery was the biggest issue. Versatility: This is one of its stronger points. I use it in a lot of different areas: corners when sweeping, around my cat’s water fountain, near my air purifiers, on window sills, on my couch, and even in the kitchen (like the island or surfaces my cats climb on before wiping them down). It’s great for spot cleaning and everyday maintenance without needing to pull out a full vacuum. Performance: On surfaces like velvet or microfiber couches, it does pick up dust, crumbs, and pet hair, but it usually takes a few passes. It also snags slightly on softer cushions, so it works better on firmer surfaces. Pet Hair & Litter: It handles pet hair fairly well and is especially useful for picking up litter pellets, which helps cut down on constant sweeping. That said, a wider mouth attachment would make this much more efficient. Maintenance: Long hairs get caught in the brush attachment, but they’re easy to remove. The dust chamber is simple to empty and hasn’t been an issue. I do wish that you could remove the dust chamber entirely instead of it. just opening from one part so that I can get a better "clean" out. Noise & Lighting: Noise level is reasonable and not too loud. The built-in light is weak and doesn’t add much value for darker areas. Battery Life (Biggest Drawback): The battery is the main issue. After fully charging it (about 12 hours initially), I only got around 20 minutes of on-and-off use. I then plugged it back in for about 5, and it only lasted 15 or 20 minutes of consistent use. I kept having to recharge it because I was on a time crunch so I would plug it in for like 5 to 10 minutes at a time and it would only run for like, 5 minutes. For a cordless vacuum, that’s pretty limiting and affects how useful it is overall. Fully defeats the purpose of why I purchased a cordless hand vacuum. Overall: It’s a solid option for quick, versatile cleanups, but the battery life holds it back. I’d consider a different option next time mainly because of that.

I finally gave up on my previous hand vac, a big name brand but which never really worked well (and yes, I did clean out the cup and check for clogs). It would pick up crumbs, but then drop them immediately. Very frustrating. So I did some research and people said this one worked well. So far, I haven't used any of the attachments, and our dog doesn't shed, so I can't comment on how well it works on dog hair. But I can say it really sucks, and I mean that in a good way. I cleaned up typical crud on the floor with ease, and also used it to clean my ventilator system's filters. I think it may have done better on those filters than the floor vacuum I used last time. I could really feel it grabbing surfaces below the debris. I am very glad I bought this!!!

If you’re posting it as an Amazon review, I’d tighten it up a bit while keeping the same criticisms: Certainly not worth the $112 I paid after tax. The Shark PowerBoost is powerful enough to pick up loose dirt and debris from your car’s floor mats, but it struggles with hair and ground-in dirt in the carpet. That kind of defeats the purpose of a dedicated car vacuum if you still need to grab another tool to finish the job. It comes with a couple of useful attachments, but the long crevice tool isn’t actually long or narrow enough to reach the deepest areas between seats, under seats, around seat rails, and in the tight spaces surrounding the center console. Again, if you’re constantly reaching for another tool, it defeats the purpose of an all-in-one solution. Battery life is another major disappointment. It takes a long time to charge and drains surprisingly quickly. If you’re trying to do a thorough cleaning of your vehicle, don’t expect to finish on a single charge. You’ll likely need to recharge at least once, which is frustrating for a product marketed specifically for car cleaning. Suction also drops off noticeably as the filter collects debris, meaning you’ll find yourself frequently emptying the dust cup and cleaning the filter just to maintain performance. That’s especially annoying when the suction isn’t particularly impressive to begin with. If this were a $40-$50 handheld vacuum intended for occasional household spills, I’d say it’s perfectly acceptable. But that’s not how it’s marketed, and it’s certainly not how it’s priced. For over $100, I expected stronger suction, better reach, and enough battery life to clean an entire vehicle in one session. It’s not terrible. It’s just not the powerful, all-in-one car-cleaning tool it’s advertised to be.

Good vacuum cleans sofa, garden furniture and car, although becomes heavy after a while. Easy to empty

Best ever

Great machine but was surprised to find an American plug on it (then had to buy a USA plug)..had already thrown packaging away or would have returned. Also had trouble registering it with Shark as could not find model no. Hoping if anything goes wrong Amazon will honour guarantee.

Buenísima para aspirar pelo de perro y residuos que hace mi perrita, 10/10

Over all ok
