Reviews mention

  • Durable construction across categories
  • Effective suction on everyday debris
  • Gentle, shine-enhancing hair styling
  • Thoughtful, versatile attachment systems
  • Excessive noise on hair styler
  • Bulky, cumbersome travel case
  • Underpowered curls from barrels
  • Occasional insufficient pet-hair pickup

Shark earns strong reviews for effective, durable tools—from vacuums and steam mops that simplify messy cleanups to the FlexStyle styler that dries fast, boosts shine, and tames frizz—while drawbacks include loud noise, clunky travel size, curl barrels that underperform or require swapping, and occasional insufficient power for heavy pet hair. Overall, the brand is good and widely reliable, but buyers seeking whisper-quiet styling, long‑lasting curls, or maximum suction for dense shedding should weigh these trade‑offs.

  • I just purchased the Shark FlexStyle (with the FrizzFighter Finishing Tool and other attachments). I'm completely obsessed. I'm not very good at doing hair, so I watched a few tutorial videos that Shark made prior to using it for the first time, and I think that helped tremendously. It didn't take that long to get the hang of- maybe 3-4 minutes. What I especially appreciate is the dry time- this will cut my drying and styling time down from 30 minutes to 15. The other thing I love is how well it fights frizz while adding volume, which is a unique combination, and isn't always easy to achieve. I can't stop staring at my hair because I feel like I just came from the salon. I've used Shark products before with good results, so when they came out with a hair dryer I was over the moon. And they definitely didn't disappoint. What a value too- the technology and quality, for the price can't be beat. I highly recommend it- and for someone who has traditionally looked at doing hair as a chore, I am elated to say I can't wait to do my hair tomorrow!
