Shark HZ602 Ultralight Pet Pro Corded Stick Vacuum with PowerFins & Self-Cleaning Brushroll, Perfect for Pets, Converts to Hand Vacuum, Pet Power Brush, Crevice & Upholstery Tools, Comet Red

After taking all of the individual parts of this vacuum out of the box, I would have sworn that something was missing. It just didnt look like the pieces I removed would turn into the vacuum that was pictured on the front of the box. But, surprise! Just like one of those transformers, the pieces came together and really did look exactly like the image shown. I was pleasantly surprised with the weight of the unit. It really was as light as they say. And the maneuverability of the vacuum was honestly amazing. When I compare it to my older Dirt Devil model, this behaved like a fine Italian sports car. I was able to easily reach places underneath tables and maneuver it into corners like a pro. There was very little resistance and it seemed to glide over the carpet effortlessly. In no time at all, the dirt canister filled up and it was simple to remove it and empty it into the trash bin. As a matter of fact, it filled up really, really fast. Either my home was filthier than I thought or the canister is just a tad too small. I decided to put the entire model to the test, so I ran it over bare floors as well. Again, it slid almost like a hovercraft and left virtually nothing in its wake. Then, I disconnected the hand held unit and vacuumed by stairs with it. It did a fantastic job on them also. So, I am thrilled with this vacuum. I thoroughly enjoyed cleaning my home which must have been a first for me. The power of the unit was everything that Shark claimed it to be. But, I do have a few things that I thought could be improved. Here they are: Although I love the light at the bottom of the cleaner, it is noticeably absent from the handheld unit. It would have been nice if somehow they could have installed one on that too. I really could have used it and it was sorely missed. As mentioned previously, the model is incredibly light but I kind of dont like the fact that it just cant seem to stand upright unattended. It has to lean on something else because of its high center of gravity and this just makes it a bit awkward. The instruction booklet does say that you can detach the top part of the unit and hang it on a storage hook lower on the main section. I have not tried this yet, but that might be enough for it to stand on its own. And, unless I am missing something, there seems to be nowhere to store one attachment that contains a spinning brush. I will read through the booklet again - I could very well have missed it, but there is a place for each accessory so I found it surprising that there was no place to store that . The few cons that I just mentioned are minor and certainly should not be a deterrent to making this purchase. I love that I dont have to deal with bags although I do wish the dirt container was slightly larger. There is something oddly satisfying at dumping the dirt into the trash can. It just makes you feel as if you did a great cleaning job!

What I like most about this vacuum is also what I like least about it. It’s compact, lightweight and maneuverable. But the small size also means small canister. I have 5 cats, and live in a high dust area. When I was a kid growing up in the suburbs, my mom used to dust once a week, and it was barely necessary. I’ve lived most of my adult life in the city, and weekly dusting is necessary - there is always a fine layer of dust on the furniture. Which means there is also dust settling into the carpets. I have a full size Bissell canister vacuum, but I hate lugging it around. Doing a thorough vacuum with it means moving furniture around. It takes me an hour to do my living room and dining room, about 800 sq. ft. Because I hate vacuuming, I don’t do it nearly as often as I should, so I have to stop about 4 times to empty the canister. First time out with the Shark, I only got about 10 sq feet and had to empty the canister twice. So before attempting my whole apartment, I did a deep clean with the Bissell. I spent an hour and a half moving furniture and thoroughly cleaning. Now I use the Shark 2-3 times a week, and because it’s easier to move into small spaces, I don’t have to move the furniture, so I can be done in about 15-20 minutes. I like that the blades don’t cause tangles of hair and long fur. I should note that the furniture attachment does not have the blade system that the main vacuum does. It has bristles, so I did have to stop after using it to untangle fur. Two of my cats have long fur. I was initially irritated by the fact that the vacuum does not stay upright when fully assembled until I discovered the little hook on the front that you can hang the hand held portion onto which stabilizes the machine so it isn’t top heavy. Despite my initial misgivings about the size, I’m giving it 5 stars because once I got my groove, it works wonderfully!

On the first time vacuuming my whole house the brush stopped spinning. Found a Shark help line and called to see if they could assist with the issue, so I could finish cleaning my house. They informed me the nozzle needed to be replaced, and it was not a part that was under warranty. They put me on a brief hold and when she came back on the line, she informed they would do a one-time replacement like they were doing me a favor. No apologies...this is a one time deal. First of all, if your floor nozzle cannot make it around my house once, then your product is crap.The floor nozzle should be under warranty, it is a major component of a stick vacuum. It also sounds as if it doesnt hold up, I am out of luck and will have to replace it myself. I plan on replacing the whole vacuum and will never purchase a Shark product again. I wish I would have went with the Bissell.

IT HANDLES SUPER FOR A SENIOR LADY, LIGHT. LOW. AND FITS IN SMALL SPACES EASY TO CLEAN. I ORDERED THE REFURBUSHED AND IT REALLY NICE. THANK YOU AMAZON

Work great on wood floors.

I really like this Shark, but I find it to be awkward. It won’t stand on its own because it’s so top heavy. I have to lean it against something and a few times it’s fallen onto furniture or against the wall and nicked it. The suction is great, though.

This is a piece of garbage. After a few months it wont suck up anything and when it does it spits it all out in a giant pile once you turn it off. If anything is left inside it, when you move the vacuum it will all shake out. If you are looking to clean a room, this will not help. The motor also overheats after a few minutes.

This was my second Shark corded stick. My first one was duo clean with front roller. Silly me thought this vacuum was also , it is not. Purchased the HZ602 June 2022 and it is basically shot now. Never completely picked up the dirt. Had to go back and forth over the dirt to get it. This past weekend it has lost 90% of suction power. This is after clean everything completely. It was only used downstairs for my hardwood floors , 7x10 rug and a runner. This vacuum never lived up to my first Shark and I am disappointed in the HZ602. You would think you would get more than 8 months out of a seldom used vacuum.

Used for bare floor and rugs. Great suction.
