    Disappointed
    I have this vacuum for about 6 months now. First month great but very disappointed now. The self empty was an amazing feature but the white small doors where the all dust comes off isn't closing properly after being emptied which means now each time vacuum is loosing suction when vacuuming so we need to keep watch it and make sure we manually close. Qe hard flooring and the vacuum does not pick all the mess and dust from the floor. And when I use the small attachment, to clean stairs as also laminated flooring it drains the battery to minimum between minutes. I wasted my money on this unfortunately. I am a big lover of Ninja and thought will try to use Shark but this was disappointing as vacuum isn't worth the money and not for a long run.

    Disappointing
    I purchased the BU3521UK in March 2025 and really wish I hadn’t. It’s been incredibly frustrating to use. My home is mostly hard flooring with a few rugs, and the vacuum seems very slow to detect changes in surface type. The battery life is also disappointingly poor. I’m a big fan of Shark products and own several, but I regret getting rid of my corded Shark vacuum for this one.

    Luv how it changes from floor to rug instantly
    Own a large Dyson vacuum decided I wanted a smaller VAC but didn’t want to pay Dyson price so I got a shark and I’m glad I did works great
