Design and Usability

Weighing less than seven pounds, the Freestyle Max is marketed as Shark’s lightest cordless upright. Its lightweight frame, swivel steering, and LED headlights are designed to improve maneuverability and make debris easier to spot while cleaning.

The vacuum also features a large-capacity, easy-empty dust cup for longer cleaning sessions and hands-free disposal. Maintenance tasks, including cleaning the filter and brushroll, are designed to be straightforward, helping reduce clogs and support long-term performance.
