Cordless Cleaner Reviews

Shark Ion P50 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Shark-Lightweight-Hardfloor-IC162-Limestone/dp/B07FX3Y4TB/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1537220666&sr=8-1&keywords=shark+Ion+p50&linkCode=ll1&tag=cewhitebooks-20&linkId=2721942a822425d96e70ae73795cd35c&language=en_US

On hard floors it is nothing short of amazing, It picks up everything from fine debris including heavy fine debris like sand to pet hair to large debris of just about any size. Duocleans actually seem to dust the floors as well as pick up the debris.

On carpet the same amazing performance is evident, there doesn’t seem to be anything it cant pick up.

So I can say confidently that the Shark Ion P50 is the best cordless vacuum I have ever tested in terms of its ability to clean floors. I also like that you don’t have to change cleaner heads when switching from carpets to hard floors like you do with the Dyson cordless vacuums as there is a button on the handle that slows the brushroll speed for hard floors and speeds it up for carpets. So transitions are painless and instantaneous.

Another pro is its power. We measured its suction at 79 inches of water, which is the highest I have ever seen on a cordless, and its airflow at 36 cfm on max power at the cleaner head, 44 cfm on max at the wand, and 26 and 28 cfm on low power.

I should mention that its max power or power boost button can be tapped once to continuously run when using it as a handheld vacuum, that is, without the cleaner head attached, but with the cleaner head attached the power boost only runs when you hold down the button, in other words you cant run it continuously in boost mode while vacuuming unless you want to hold the boost button down.

That being said I found that its standard low power was more than enough, I ran these tests twice, once with the high power button pressed and once without, and did not encounter anything that it could not pick up on low power.

The power and floor nozzle seal on hard floors was also evident in the crevice pickup test where it picked up the debris from both crevice sizes in one pass, which is extremely rare.

Another pro was its battery life. The Ion P50 comes with a large Ion battery that we tested at 31:01 with the cleaner head attached and 55:22 minutes without the cleaner head attached. Those numbers would of course decrease depending on how much you held down the power boost button, which is difficult to test.

To make sense of that battery life you would have about 30 minutes of regular vacuuming time, which blows away every other cordless vacuum we have tested, except for the Dyson V8 and V10, but when you factor in the cfm numbers they are pretty much the same, for example the Dyson V8 gets 33:30 at 25 cfm and the V10 gets about 27 minutes at 31 cfm and the Shark Ion P50 gets 31 minutes at 28 cfm so its basically the same if not ever so slightly better.

Another pro is the crazy large dust bin, in fact it was so big that the measuring cup I usually use for cordless vacuums proved too small, but its maybe a little more than 4.5 cups which is certainly larger than any cordless vacuum on the market and larger than a lot of upright vacuums as well.

I also found the bin to be easier to empty than most cordless vacuums, The design really isn’t prone to stuck debris, even with pet hair, so you wont have to be digging debris out with your hands like so many others we have seen.

It has a lot of features including bright LED lights on the floor nozzle, a decent attachment set including a combo brush crevice tool, a dusting brush, and upholstery tool, it has a dock for the battery but no wall mount since the vacuum can stand up on its own, which is a pro in and of itself.
