- 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase11/24/2013I have rotator cuff problems and lifting my big vacuum is often too much for me. This little guy steps in and does the job whether is crumbs on the counter or floor or cat hair on the sofa. It is light weight and easy to use the accesories. The only problem would be that it doesn't hold a lot of dirt! But then, it is small.
Great little helper!
Archaeologist - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase11/7/2014Before I bought this product, like many I looked around and read the reviews. Specifically this item in particular, I saw quite a few reviews saying that the suction was weak and the battery life was bad. Taking my chances, I bought this item anyways. When I finally had it in my possession, the instructions say to first charge it before you use it, which I did (I wonder if some people didn't and that is why they have bad battery life). When I first used it, it was great! Suction was powerful, though there are a few times I had to go over the same spot, and the battery is fine (instructions also say to leave it off the charger when not in use until it dies. This is because if you do not use it for a long period of time and it's on the charge...
Does its job

samWalmart Associate - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase2/2/2014I lost my hand held sweeper, the best one I have ever had in my 44 years of marriage. It was lost in a car accident, coming home from my daughters, over the Christmas holidays. Yes it was the same model & exact same one. Thank you for not changing a thing about a product that was excellant the first time arround.
I just had to replace the best hand sweeper
pasdandelion - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase2/18/2013I've only had this item for 2 weeks but so far I have been impressed with its power and cleaning ability. Great for stairs and those little clean-up jobs. It remains to be seen how long the battery will last, which is often an issue with cordless vacs.
Powerful little hand vac. for a reasonable price.
ValueHunter49 - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase10/30/2013Reviewed all the price options against the "Best of Show " rating and finding that Walmart had the best pricing for the best product , ordered their on- line delivery . Amazingly , it was delivered the following day !! Remarkable! Best we have ever had.! Well done Sharp and well done Walmart!
Great experience of product and Walmert service
PalmCoasterUK - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase12/20/2013I love my shark vacuums. Great for households with children and pets. The additional accessories are a plus as well as having a charging base (which is wall mountable) and long charging cord. So you can practically put it anywhere, which is nice because you can keep it out of reach from the small children.
Great for cleaning up after my cat and nephews.
SassyLass216 - 4 out of 5 stars review5/8/2020This is for my Shark SV780_N. It is pretty amazing when it works. I had given up on cordless vacuum cleaners many years ago until I came across this one. I had similar flaky behavior where it would shut off while being used or simply not work, as reported by many of the 1-star reviews. When mine finally died for good, I opened things up to fix it. I had assumed the battery was bad, but it's great. Turned out the problem was with the little circuit board that is inside the handle. It contains the switch as well as the electronics to regulate the charging. I reflowed the solder on a few joints, and when I did so on the upper pin on the power transistor in the upper left corner of the circuit board, it was suddenly fixed and now working bet...
Great when it works, problem solved
vacFixerOriginally posted onsharkninja.com - 4 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase4/12/2014I have owned many hand-vacuums over the years, for the purpose of quick pick-ups around the house and for the vehicles. The most important things to me are its battery power, air flow and suction capability, attachments, and the weight of the vacuum. The Shark SX780 meets all of my requirements for an exceptional hand-vac. You will have absolutely no problem having a very long running time with this vacuum as long as you follow the very simple directions given. This type battery, once fully charged, has to completely run down before allowing it to charge again. If you keep placing it back onto the charger while it is plugged into the wall, it will deplete the battery and ruin it. Just simply unplug the adapter, and let the vac run down. It ...
Best Hand-Vac I have owned
giadawn105 - 3 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase3/12/2017It does have adequate suction and not too heavy for a cordless. However instructions state that you cannot leave the unit on charger except when charging it. This means that you do not know how much charge is left until it stops ! I don't remember when I could not buy a cordless device that could be left in charger without over charging.
Charger problem
babydoc - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase10/21/2016I've had a Dyson handheld for years. The vacuum was alright, but cost a ton and never held a charge very long. A call with Dyson said they had lifetime warranty on all vacuums BUT mine! We purchased the Shark cordless handheld and it blows the Dyson away. Has long run time on single charge and great suction. We now have one on boat and one in house.
Best little handheld!
CaptainSteve - 4 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase10/19/2013The Shark does a great job on cat hair and is MUCH better at everything than my old dust buster. Picking up crumbs & powdery dry spills are easy. The nits that kept me from giving 5 stars: - Could use longer lasting lithium battery. - A smart-charger would mean you could store vac in base without damaging battery. - A longer & thinner attchment tool would give better reach into narrow spaces. (between car seats)
Good little vac
Calium - 4 out of 5 stars review8/25/2017If you read the bad reviews they all seem to be based on early battery failure and the cause is having it plugged in all the time. You would not know that from the instructions. That said, this is a very good product. For years we had used a B&D dust buster and it performed miserably. Maybe the newer ones are better. I wondered one day if all hand vacs were that bad and did some research and found this unit. Just so much better than the dust buster. It pics up cat litter from the carpet probably better than the full sized vac. I wonder how it would have done with the mess of BBs that got spilled on the floor at work once. Maybe not so well but probably better than the bush and dustpan we used.
Do not keep it plugged in all the time
irishbornmWalmart Associate - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase11/2/2013Have not had this product long enough to rate it. I have used it in my car and for small spills around the house. It was a nice surprise to see how powerful it is and the run time is very good before I had to charge it. I liked it well enough that I will order 2 more for gifts to friends.
So far I love it
- 2 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase2/20/2014when I saw this item I thought it was going to be something worth while, I was going to use it for my stairs. after purchasing and receiving the item I was happy with the design and the structure of it but when I went to use it the brush roll stopped when it touch the carpet in the section was pretty weak. Plus its a mess to clean up. It claims to be easy to clean but it really is not, you have to shake the dust off the filter and wash it after every use which I found pretty tedious since their claim is "Easy to Clean" so... I say keep your money and buy something better this thing is only with 5$ not 50$ or 60$...! I ended up buying the new shark lift away vacuum and live it!!! I gybe that 10 stars out of five and it works amazing on my st...
not worth it!!!
j1308 - 3 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase4/5/2014I searched Consumer Reports and they said this is the best. I like it, use it every day. I ordered it site to store, took about 3 days. Has a lot of power and good capacity. Only two things to remember: charge it overnight before using for the first time and do NOT put it back on the charger unless the battery is dead. You must run it till the battery is dead before you put back on the charger. It only runs about 15 minutes before dying which is about 3 days of on and off to chase dust bunnies. I set it down next to the charger until it won't run then it goes into the charger.
I agree with Consumer Reports
Rustinif - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase2/1/2014Buying a cordless was intimidating on line, reading reviews on products...not knowing if people were honest...etc. I tell you I am extremely happy with the product so far. One thing I like is the charge time. No more than 6 hours...so it is not constantly using electricity like so many items we leave plugged in all the time. I can give the car a good cleaning about 3 times before I need to charge it, and we have a large Chrysler van, AND a large dog!! The other thing I really like are the attachments. I am pleasantly surprised that we got such a good product for the price we paid. I would think another 20 bucks on the price would still be VERY worth it !! All in all...extremely pleased. ..and would definitely recommend this product to other...
Excellent cordless product
Hillbillies - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase11/19/2013I don't usually write reviews, but this particular Shark handheld vacuum is worth it! I had originally bought the lesser Shark model, the green one, for twenty dollars cheaper, and it was garbage in comparison with this one! This SV780 Shark, the lavender one, has so much more suction. Spend the extra money! Plus, this shark has a station to place the Shark while it is being charged. It's GREAT!
I love this Shark handheld vacuum!
MinnieMaid - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase11/25/2013I own this and have for several years. I purchased this one as a gift for my daughter. She loves it so much and wanted one for her home to get up all the dog hair on her furniture. I give it 5 stars because it is a great product as are all Shark products. I have several Shark products (steam mop, Shark Professional, Shark carpet and hardwood cleaner). I am on my second Shark vacuum because I gave my daughter (the same one) my first because she needed a good vacuum. I am purchasing a Shark lift-away for the other daughter for Christmas. They are a great value.
Love Shark Products
Dilbertsmom1 - 1 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase8/19/2013I'm not usually one to say negative things about a product, but I was so excited when I got this. I followed the directions for charging it (the box and the directions say two different things about charging the vacuum) and the first time I used it I instantly fell in love with how well it worked on cleaning my stairs of pet hair. Unfortunately, I have only used it twice since then because even after following charging directions it doesn't even hold its charge for 10 minutes. I am returning it today for a vacuum that has a lithium ion battery. I do NOT recommend this item.
Works great, doesn't stay charged
