Shark ION P50: Lightweight, Cordless Upright Vacuum with HEPA Filter

Reece: First off, I'm reviewing the vacuum, not my experience with the seller.
This is hands down, the best battery operated vacuum ever. The end. No complaints whatsoever. It is amazing. The charge and go floor dock should be included-thats all I got. I like the vacuum so much I convinced my friend to buy this one which we didn't see was renewed...
Unfortunately, when it finally arrived after a month, there were many issues with it... the handle had no buttons, the charger didn't work, the battery overheated, the plastic on the base was cracked all the way through... we Unfortunately returned the vacuum.

I like the ion P50 better than the replacement ion F80. I like the upright design-in my opinion thus is the best all around vacuum ever.

Vuvuzela: Took a chance and bought a refurbished one, saved $115 from the $299 cost of a new one at time of purchase -- so I saved a little more than 1/3 by buying a refurbished. I was encouraged to buy refurbished only by the extended time Amazon provides for a return. Mine appears in decent shape - not much sign of previous use. It works perfectly, and the design is magnificent. Must have taken quite an engineering team to design a battery operated vacuum cleaner this compact, so packed with clever features in terms of operation, and so effective. I'm shocked at how much I like it frankly. This ain't merely some little stick vacuum - considering its size, ease of use and the fact you don't have to plug it in to use it, this thing is great. Is it a full-size corded cleaner? Of course not, and I knew that going in, so I'm not comparing it to one. This is SO MUCH EASIER to use though you won't believe it until you try it.

J. Lease: I put my vacuums through lots of use, and this ION P50 is an improvement over my old Shark stick vac in almost every way. Suction is excellent, battery life is also excellent, and the design is well-thought-out and executed. Being able to detach the heavy canister part of the machine makes for easier and quicker hard floor cleaning, but the weight on the thing feels like it helps it vacuum well when pressed into the carpet. The dual roller system works well, cleanouts are pretty easy, and I feel like it needs less maintenance than my previous shark. Only complaint is that the connection between stick and canister feels like it could wear out, as does the stick's connection to the vacuum head. Time will tell!

Robert P.: Not sure why Shark has discontinued this model. For hardwood floors and stairs it has been unbeatable. We replaced an eight year old Shark Lift-a-Way which was getting a bit heavy for going up and down the stairs. I had a very hard time finding an extra battery, so as to have one one the charger while using the other. I was able to source one on eBay which was just luck. The brush roller is not self cleaning and does collect hair but has been very easy to clean. Overall a very solid purchase so far.

E. Osterberg: I absolutely love how easy this is to use. You can park it where ever, in a closet, whatever, where ever... I have cats that leave litter around the house. This is so convenient I can vacuum for 3 minutes twice a day. I'm not sure I can find words to express how much I love this thing. It's Sunday and I was able to vacuum before anyone woke up this morning. It's really very quiet. I wouldn't vacuum in a room where someone was sleeping, but no problem being in another room or just outside the door. Works great on tile and wood floors. Works on all my rugs and small carpeted areas. I love how easy it is to take out to my car too. No need for an extension cord! Who in their right might would ever write the words "I love this vacuum". Never thought I would.
