| Review | Rating | Last Updated | For my purposes it works wonderfully.
I wanted a little vaccum for my upstairs bathroom, so I could vaccum up cat litter without having to haul my big vaccum up the stairs every day. For that purpose, this vaccum is great. It sucks up the cat litter very thoroughly, gets along the walls well, and it's really easy to just toss the litter from the cup into the trash when I am done.
Set up was a breeze, as everything just clicks together.
It even comes with attachments, but I haven't tried switching to the hose yet.
It has really good suction power, but is quite surprisingly loud for such a little thing.
I second what everyone else has to say about carpeting. When I try to vaccum the litter off of a throw rug with pretty high pile, it will not move. I have to dump the litter off of the rug, and then vaccum it up.
I'm 5'2" so it's a great height for me, but if you were taller, I could see you would have a problem with the length of the handle.
It's not cordless, but that was what I was looking for, since I didn't want to have to bother with batteries. I can't comment negatively on the length of the cord, since it easily covers the space I need in my bathroom, with cord to spare.
The HEPA filter is a nice bonus, and the air really does feel cleaner after I've vaccumed.
All in all, just what I was looking for, and for $25 on sale, it couldn't be beat, but buyer beware if you are expecting it to do more than what I described. | 4 | Today | Simply awful
Purchased the product last year, it never cleaned well and stopped working althougher in September. Sent the product in per the customer service representative and they did nothing. | 1 | Today | Not good
Does not suck up well. Cheaply made. I no longer have it because it broke! | 2 | Today | Waste of money!
Another disposable product by Shark. Gets clogged easily and the bottom breaks off easily - Don't believe what they say about lifting 150 lbs- that's not true unless you can use it on the moon! In my oppinion, This vacuum is not much better than a cheap stick vac except it doesn't last as long. | 1 | Today | Annoying and only somewhat useful
I live in a narrow and cluttered NYC apartment so I purchased this vacuum thinking that it could be used to clean up the floors and the attached hose could be used get under all the futurniture and other surfaces.
It works ok at best on the open floor but when you get down on your hands and knees to try to get under the futons and behind bookcases, the exhaust ends up blowing the dust bunnies all over the place. Unless you cradle the body of the vacuum against your body so that the strong exhaust dosen't end up scattering the dust you were trying to pick up, it ends up creating a bigger mess than when you started.
It could be extremely useful as its light weight and versitile, but the design flaws make it a complete waste of money. | 2 | Today | Supplemental Use Only
I use this vacuum to supplement my Dyson as I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 children. It works well on wood floors and even my basement floors where I keep my cats' litter boxes. However, the cord is short and it does not work very well on carpet. Sometimes I'll vacuum closet spaces or use it on our stairs; however, I would not recommend using this as your main source for sweeping up after your pets. My Dyson is a miracle worker compared to this, and the customer service department for Dyson is much more efficient. When one of my children broke my Dyson hose, I called the customer service department and they sent me another hose at no charge. The Shark filter costs nearly $18 to replace, and because the Shark is a small vacuum, it does not take long before the filter needs to be replaced if you have pets who shed a lot. I have even rinsed the filter, but it still bears replacing. It's great for sweeping up small jobs, but if you are looking for something to suction up a large space or after pets and children, keep looking. | 2 | Today | I could have done a better job with a straw
This vac is an absolute hunk o'Junk!
1)It over heats and turns itself off (after only 10 minutes of vacuuming) and it will not restart for at least 45 minutes.
2)The dust cup or containment compartment is MESSY and difficult to empty, when removed it creates a huge dust cloud over the waste basket.
3)I am convinced the replacement filters for this machine do not exsist, I have found not one retailer who sells this product that carries the filters.
4) And as for trying to contact Euro-Pro, the maker of this marvelous machine, you can let the unit cool while you are on hold with customer service. | 1 | Today | Rip -off
Considering buying this vacuum? Then just throw the money out the window. I was so disapointed by this vacuum. It does not pick up pet hair, it doesn't even pick up lint. It's very good at picking up dust, but, that's all. It also if FABULOUS at getting over-heated very fast. If you are looking for a great waste of money, and a fabulous workout from all the back and forth motion of desperately trying to get this to pick ANYTHING up off of a rug, this is the machine for you. If you're looking for a reliable light-weight vacuum -- look else where. | 1 | Today | Horrible suction....
I am SO disappointed with this vacuum! I will say, it does wonderfully for picking up all that dust and little bits of dirt that get into your carpet, but don't expect it to pick up anything that is big enough to be visible to the human eye! Also, I have a cat - so I have pet fur on my carpet... AND I lose a lot of hair myself, and this vacuum doesn't pick any of that up... I can vacuum, run my hand over the carpet afterwards and come up with a handful of human and cat hair.
It would be useful if you are just looking for something to get the dust and such out of the carpet... it seems to do that very well, though you are having to constantly stop and empty the vacuum, shake the filter out, etc, because it gets clogged VERY fast. | 2 | Today | Expensive to maintain
This is an excellent vacuum except when you have to change the filter. The Shark uses a HEPA filter that costs $17.99. The vacuum itself is $59.99. I found the Shark to be excellent except that after a couple of uses, the HEPA filter clogs up and the vacuum loses all suction. It is expensive ($17.99 per HEPA filter) to maintain this vacuum cleaner. | 3 | Today |
