About Shark IX141 Impact Cordless Stick Vacuum
Overall Feedback:
77% positive
69% appreciated the weight and maneuverability
While vacuuming, I noticed that the Shark vacuum feels heavy in my hand, but it has a large dust cup and a powerful motor, making the extra weight worth it. It is also easy to push and glides smoothly over floors.
74% found it versatile on various surfaces
It's easy to clean multiple surfaces without switching devices.
This vacuum is great for quick vacuuming around the dining table, stairs, and crevices.
71% appreciated the noise level, but 29% found it too loud
I am disappointed with the suction power of the stick vacuum. It was very quiet when I turned it on for the first time.
71% liked the dustbin capacity, although 29% didn't
The dust cup volume is very small and it continues to make noise while vacuuming. The roller is not moving and the dust cup is full.
61% liked the filtration system, yet 39% experienced issues
I have noticed a flap underneath that traps debris, but it just pushes it around until I get the suction right on top. This indicates that the filtration system is not working properly.
65% liked the attachments and accessories, although 35% disliked
It would be helpful to have an option to mount the vacuum on the wall, even if it has to be purchased separately.
I unpacked and put the unit together but the brush roller attachment still wasn't working.
73% were satisfied with the battery life, nevertheless, 27% weren't
The estimated battery life is good and there is a clear 4-segment LED indicator to let me know when the battery is getting low.
I tested three different cordless stick vacuums and found that Shark Pet IX141 had the longest battery life at 27 minutes, while Bissell Powerlifter 3789X lasted for 18 minutes and Black & Decker Powerseries Max lasted for 13 minutes.
The battery life of the vacuum was great initially, but after 6 months, it lasted only 30 minutes, and after a year, it has come down to 10 minutes. I am lucky if I can finish the kitchen and living room in one charge.
I would have to break up my cleaning into sessions if I rely on it to clean a whole house.

78% liked the suction power, but 22% found it lacking
For max suction, I need to hold the button down on the vacuum which has 2 strengths of suction.
I found that the suction power was barely adequate and suspected that there was some packing material blocking it.
I have to hold the button down for extra powerful suction, which is a little annoying.
I compared the suction power of this stick-vacuum-electric-broom with my old one and found that with my old one, the carpet was visibly vacuumed and standing up. But with this one, I couldn’t even see or feel that the carpet had been vacuumed.
