This vac makes very little noise and the battery powered brush doesn't appear to really be doing much. But then your floors and carpets get clean. It really does a pretty good job! It's perfect for 'in-between' use. I use it once or twice a week just to keep the floors in good shape. Now for the bad news. Battery life does in fact seem to...well...suck. I've had this little guy for about 3 weeks and already I can sense the battery losing charge much more quickly than the first few runs. As this isn't a powerful vac, a full strong battery charge is important. There's even a sticker on the vac that instructs you to replace the battery every 9-12 months. Not a good sign if you ask me. So overall, I'm disappointed. It's a good little vac with a cheap battery. With any luck, Shark will take these reviews to heart and really delve into improving the battery life. If and when they do, my review will go straight to 5 stars. Update: after a total of about 6 hours of use, while rolling the unit over bare marble floors, the main drive has broken. I guess this speaks to the quality of this unit - terrible? 38 of 38 people found the following review helpful. Very Pleased By mom05 I just bought this today so I cant tell you how wonderful it still works after many uses but I can tell you that it worked absolutely wonderfully on my very yuckie, dirty, Cheerio crumb infested (toddler in the house) kitchen floor. I will never use a broom and dust pan again. Well, maybe the broom, but only to quickly sweep the stuff the Shark can't reach under the lower cupboards (we live in an old apt which may have something to do with that). Not a big deal. I just swept it into the middle of the floor and then sucked it all right up with the Shark. It picks up much more than the broom/dust pan method, even better than my Hoover on the "hard floor" setting! It made mopping the old fashioned not so "yuckie." Now Im starting to eye the steam mops. Here's to no more getting on my hands and knees to clean the floors! I also tried it out on the carpet (more crumbs!) and it worked the same. Great! This product obviously wont replace your regular vacuum, but for quick, light clean ups, and for "pre-mopping" vacuuming it does the job very well. 17 of 17 people found the following review helpful. Convenience is great, cleaning is OK By Alan S. After using this product on my entire house for the first time, I find it easy and convenient. It is small enough to get under many things that are difficult for my real vacuum to reach. It is easy to carry upstairs. It seems to work fairly well on carpet, which was a surprise. I find my vacuuming is done faster. I have many uncarpeted surfaces, though, and found it a bit substandard on those. I had to go over my kitchen and hardwood floors several times in some spots to gather the dirt/dust there. My hardwood floors have grooves between the wide boards, as well, which my regular vacuum does a great job on, but the Shark leaves most dirt in those grooves. I did try it around the litter box, and after some repeated passes, it did pick up most of the cat litter, except any left in grooves. The place it did the poorest was on my hardwood stairs. It really did a lousy job, which is a shame, because this is one of the places that is real pain to use my regular vacuum on. I also felt that on some surfaces, such as the stairs, the Shark v1930 seemed to kick up a lot of dust into the air. My regular vacuum does a much better job keeping the air clean. That said, I may keep this as my go-to cleaner and save my regular vacuum for better cleaning efforts that I may get to every two weeks or so. It's just so easy to use. It's also so quiet that I can still listen to the TV or music and not bother the rest of the household while using it. That's a big plus. We are trying to
