It’s a Shark stick vacuum.
It’s got that serious Shark power you’ve come to expect, plus “Duo Clean Power Fins.” What does that mean? Well, there’s a soft front roller to pull stuff in while “Power Fins deliver nonstop contact to pick up more in every pass.” What does that mean? It means it’s thorough. Oh, and its brush roll is self-cleaning, by the way. That means it can suck up all the pet hair you’ve got without any potential for hair wrap. It can go for up to 50 minutes on a charge and has an “IQ Display” that’ll tell you run time, performance, and a bunch of other stuff.
Again: it’s a Shark stick vacuum.
Now, we’ve made fun of vacuum marketing in the past. More than in seemingly any other product category, vacuum manufacturers love to invent weird lingo. And yet, the fact remains, we constantly see new Shark models that somehow pack more power, run for longer, and weigh less than the previous model.
Which makes us wonder, who are these people who are working at Shark? Like, how did these apparent engineering geniuses end up in an industry where their expertise goes so regularly un-praised?
Okay, that might be laying it on thick. Everyone who trades in a mediocre vacuum for a Shark experiences that elation of “holy shit, this makes cleaning so much easier!” But this constitutes relief, not excitement. Or, if there is excitement, it’s the excitement of not having to vacuum so hard for so long. Because, you might say, Shark makes vacuums that suck more so life can suck less.
Sorry.
Our point is: it’s easy to take a vacuum for granted. You love it the first time you use it. Then, subsequently, it just becomes a thing you do before moving onto the next thing. The lack of dread–of wheeling a big vacuum out, of running it over the same stretch of carpet over and over again to get everything–ceases to register. It’s the gadget you use to free up time to use the gadgets you’ll end up talking about. The slick tablet, the amazing new game system, the super convenient kitchen appliance–all of these come up in conversation before you even mention your vacuum.
So what keeps the Shark engineers going, even as the general public fails to give them the credit they deserve? Maybe it’s a sense that they’re making the world a better place (or at least a place with cleaner floors). Oh, also, money. Yeah, that makes sense. Money.
And speaking of money, maybe spend some of yours on one of these Shark stick vacuums!
