Horrible
If there was a 0 star I would rate that. My husband bought me this for Christmas so I’ve used it for 3 weeks. It won’t even suck up a piece of cat food. I’ve never liked shark products compared to bissell but this was seriously disappointing if he can find the receipt I’ll be taking it back if not lesson learned.

It’s okay.
I bought this about a month ago. And to be honest it doesn’t pick up as much as I would have liked. I replaced a 10 year old bissell, and bought this because of the promise of picking up hair, I shed like crazy. It does okay but idk if worth the price. The built in hose to handle is great but the cord is short.

Hi Stephanie, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Rotator Pet Upright Vacuum. We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the built in hose, though we’re sorry the overall pick up performance and cord length have not met your expectations. You should be getting strong hair pickup from this model. We’d love to help take a closer look at what’s going on and see if there’s anything we can troubleshoot to improve your results. When you get a moment, please reach out to us through our support page so we can assist you directly: https://support.sharkninja.com/contact-us Sincerely, Shark Home

Anti- hair wrap brush roll is a must
Had the product going on a year and it’s incredible. Picks up everything in its path and leaves the floors feeling and looking clean.

Will make your entire house smell putrid
Just received this today. Most perplexed at how this is marketed as being an ‘odor neutralizing’ vacuum, when in reality it’s an odor masking vacuum that will make your entire house smell putrid. Not sure I’ll be keeping it, and I’d really love to meet the genius that thinks people want their house to reek of a retched cologne smell.

Hi there, Thank you for leaving a review on the Rotator. We are very sorry for the discomfort you experienced from the scent. That is certainly not the kind of experience we want for any of our customers. Your feedback is truly appreciated, as it helps us better understand how our products are working for you and how we can continue improving our designs. While the odor dial does need to remain installed for the vacuum to function, the odor cartridge inside can be removed if the scent is not to your liking. If you need any help with this, feel free to reference the owner's guide below.

Great Vacuum worth the price
We bought this a few weeks ago and can't believe how much dirt and hair it picks up. We vacuum the house every week and it was like we had never done it before! We love the vacuum and recommend it to anyone even if they don't have pets. You won't believe how well it works.

Not as good, go back to previous design.
This model is not as good as the Rotator Professional I had purchased several years ago, the controls were all on the top of the handle and made it much easier to switch from carpet to hard floor and also had a low pile/high pile rug selection. I did not have to control air flow by opening or closing the flow of air using a slide to adjust. It had a headlight so I didn'...

My Shark Rotator is an awesome vacuum cleaner!
Much better than my Dyson Animal. The Dyson brush bar would stop spinning after two minutes. Although it is true that it did not lose suction, it would clog - ALOT. Trying to unclog a Dyson is like doing surgery. I finally purchased the Shark Rotator with "Powerfins". The bush bar never stops turning and when the vacuum does clog, it is much easier to unclog than the Dy...

HairPro means no more cutting hair off the brush
I’ve had this vac for 3 years now and every time I use it I am reminded how wonderful the HairPro is. I haven’t had to clean the brush since I bought the machine. I had to cut the hair off my old vac after every use. I have very, long thinning hair. So why not 5*? I’m not thrilled with the handle release. And I bought several attachments to do special jobs.

I purchased this vacuum back in March, and I had to have it replaced within 3 months because the roller wasn't working. It was working okay for a few months, and now the roller has stopped working again. It cannot keep up with big dogs I guess. We have a newfoundland that doesn't even keep a full coat.

It has strong suction power, the HEPA filter system is excellent, and the ODOR neutralizer smells amazing. The only downside is that it doesn't detach, making it hard to get under the bed or chairs.
