Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Stealth is right—this small canister vacuum slips in under the radar screen and powerfully sucks up dirt and debris with 1300 watts of cyclonic action. Large particles don’t stand a chance against the air-driven turbo floor and carpet brushes, while the washable HEPA filter traps 99.97 percent of any allergens that try to sneak by. A bagless design means the plastic dust cup with handle removes easily and the bottom releases for emptying into a trash can. Automatic cord rewinding, on-board tool storage, and large wheels make this European-style vacuum even more pleasurable to use. --Ann Bieri

Find the one with the motorized power head!!! EP724M,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shark EP724 Pursuit HEPA Bagless Canister Vacuum (Kitchen)
After waking up another morning barely able to breathe (welcome to Texas!), I got a little obsessive and decided it was time for a new vacuum. After reading hundreds of online reviews, I decided my top 3 choices were... the Dyson Animal (2 cats) the Westinghouse 1551 (the original Fantom), and the Shark Pursuit. I eliminated the Dyson based on price and looked everywhere for the westinghouse... unfortunately I couldn't find any retailers who carried the product. I didn't want to order online because I wanted to be able to return the product if I didn't like it. so that left the Pursuit. Let me clarify...as far as I can tell, the Pursuit and the Stealth are the same product. I brought my little canister home and started on the living room... I had to empty the canister at least 3 times! I was soooo pleased! :) The amount of hair I picked up was literally disgusting. But I was also encouraged and couldn't stop sucking up cat hair! It actually brought back the bright navy color in my fiance's couch! We had been talking about having it reupholstered but now it looks so much better I think we can put it off for a while... And I'm SURE we picked up hair from the previous owners' two dogs... we have been here 2 years. (!!!) I was disappointed, however, in how it worked on the floors... I wasn't altogether pleased with the floor tools. So I brought home the Pursuit upright and the Ultimate Roadster upright... both were great for the floors, but I couldn't get under the furniture and when I tried to clean the upholstery the hoses would contract and pull the main unit up against me. I guess it shows how great the suction is, but it's NOT exactly easy to use this way. SOOO... after even more searching, I found the greatest thing!!! Linen's and Things www.LNT.com carries this product in their stores and online for $129.. WITH a MOTORIZED power head!!! it's GREAT!!! well worth the extra $30!!! NOW the floors get REALLY clean, and I can suck all the junk out of the upholstery too! YAY!!! So, here are the specifics for the model I'm keeping-- The Shark Pursuit canister, model number EP724M... The main unit is 10.3 amps and the power head (the floor brush) is 1.7 amps... still a total of 12 amps for cleaning the floors, slightly less for the above floor stuff, but I can't really tell the difference, and it's probably a good thing considering the suction power. pros: -Cleans great! good little sucker, especially for the price! -my house smelled much fresher after using it, so I guess the HEPA filter is doing it's job.... -FABULOUS for cleaning upholstery, etc... I even sucked cat hair off the curtains (be careful!) -the air powered turbobrush did get clogged alot, but since I bought the motorized powerhead I don't have to worry about that. Cons-- I agree with everyone else, the filter is very difficult to clean... the dispenser somehow traps all the hair around the filter, so you have to reach in and pull everything out. I'm considering trying a few things, like waxing the inside of the canister, etc... to see if I can't get this resolved. I also plan on buying a second hepa filter at the suggestion of another reviewer and switching out so I'll always have a clean one. I also have been vacuuming the filter with my old hoover upright and that seems to help alot, too. PLUS, my upright uses hepa bags so the mites and yuck stay where they belong. (this vac was good for sucking dust, but not much else) The cord is quite short, but I have lots of outlets so it's not a huge problem for me. Doesn't come with the little pet hair turbobrush, but I found them to be incredibly noisy-painful even- I'm going to order one from another company (about $30)to see if theirs works better. Somewhat inconsistent product quality-- I recommend buying local and if you have a problem with one exchange it for another one before you give up entirely. of the four I tried, one smelled funny when I turned it on... If I had decided on that one, I would have exchanged it. OH! by the way... I started this project on Sunday, and Monday morning woke up much less congested..(even though we have a HEPA air purifier in the bedroom) Tuesday morning even better... looks like it's working! I think I'm going to vacuum the mattress again..... ;) byebye dust mites!!!

No parts available,
By Ruth "RC" (Austin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shark EP724 Pursuit HEPA Bagless Canister Vacuum (Kitchen)
I really liked this vacuum at first, even though I would have to clean out the turbo head during and after each use. I tapped the filter after each use, or even midway while vacuuming because suction would decrease. When I bought my Shark, I even bought replacement filters. Unfortunately, when I when to change them out, I found that the box was missing parts. That started my hunt to find parts, which are non-existent even at the store (Bed Bath & Beyond) where I bought this vacuum--my store doesn't even carry this vacuum any longer. I then found the Shark website, and was pleased to be able to place my order for replacement filters, and even hoses and heads. My order was totaling close to half what I spent on the thing in the first place, but I really wanted to give this machine the benefit of the doubt. I received a confirmation right away that stated I would have parts in 1 to 3 weeks. After 6 weeks, I was able to find out that my parts were on back order. After a few more weeks, I decided to make other vacuum arrangements, and I cancelled my order, only to have part of my order to show up on my doorstep 2 weeks after that. At least in my package I was able to finally get a phone number for customer service. My issues are not resolved yet because the man I spoke with at customer service seems to think I should have to pay to ship back this item when I can document a confirmation from Euro-Pro that I cancelled this order days before they shipped out the parts I received. Hopefully, the service in customer service will prevail.
My advice? Keep looking at other vacuum options!

Poor design,

This review is from: Shark EP724 Pursuit HEPA Bagless Canister Vacuum (Kitchen)
Yesterday I bought a used Shark EP724. The brush needed cleaning, which took over an hour to take apart--the only effective way to clean it--clean, and put back together. In doing that, it became clear that suction was not going to cause the roller to spin; the design was too chintzy for that. What I didn't realize was that the unfunctioning mechanism would prevent most suction from even reaching the carpet. But it did. This wasn't the result of something being broken, just the result of a really poor design. BTW, the manual suggests buying each of three filters at least twice a year.
