5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful appliance for household use!, October 8, 2002
This review is from: Shark EP750M Deluxe Cordless Handheld Vacuum (Kitchen)
My previous hand-held was a DustBuster cordless vac. As its name implies, in my experience, the only thing it *could* pick up was, well, dust. It was not effective for picking up plant soil, sugar, etc. I needed to upgrade to a stronger appliance.
We purchased the Euro-Pro Shark Deluxe Cordless Hand Vacuum about a month ago. I wanted to wait that long before offering my opinion. Well, I am here to say that it is, hands down, one of the best purchases we have made to date!
We live in a condo and found that the Shark is ideal for picking up anything from leaves and dirt...to heavy beads (I had a little accident with my craft kit...the beads were the same dark color as my carpet so I used the Shark to remove them!). And, yes, the Shark does pick up bolts (we wanted to test the commercial!).
We have used this product for cleaning out our car after a beach trip (GREAT with sand!); cleaning the foyer of leaves and dirt, cleaning the stairs of dog hair, cleaning the kitchen of spills, cleaning the bathroom of human hair. Its potential is unlimited!
The suction of this vacuum is 1000 times stronger than the DustBuster! Also, the charge of the DustBuster ran out *very* quickly. The power lasts MUCH longer with the Shark. Unfortunately, I have not timed its usage before charge drainage but I have yet to run out of power while in the middle of cleaning (this consistently happened with the DustBuster).
This Shark model comes with four attachments...all of them useful! It has a large brush, a small brush, a long tube and a small tube. The brushes can be attached to the tubes as extensions or the tubes can be used alone.
All the attachments and the vacuum unit are conveniently stored on a single stand. However, Euro-Pro calls this a 'charging stand.' Once you take the vacuum off the stand, it is almost impossible to get the charging wire back into the vacuum while on the stand. I have to bring the wire over the stand to plug it in. A minor flaw in the stand design but that does not at all take away from the excellent features of the Euro-Pro.
In summary, I would recommend this item to anyone! 5 stars out of 5!

Not worth $10 extremely noisy and poor battery life, December 30, 2003
This review is from: Shark EP750M Deluxe Cordless Handheld Vacuum (Kitchen)
I thought I should not complain about the extreme noise from this vacuum cleaner since it gives out a lot of power. So I lived with that noise for 5 months.
Then, the bad thing happened. Initially I thought the filter is dirty or the motor was giving up. After discharging and recharging the battery, I realized the battery can only last less than a minute. This is only 5 months use - not even daily use. I can't trust Euro-Pro to sell me another battery that will only last 5 months! Disappointing!
I will go get a Eureka 96B.

Clean it quick, September 17, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Shark EP750M Deluxe Cordless Handheld Vacuum (Kitchen)
Yep, this is a keeper! I bought this to replace a dustbuster and this beats it hands down. The suction is 3 times that of my old dustbuster and the attachments make it twice as useful. I don't even have to strain my back bending over so far when using the attachments. I was immensely pleased with this product and the fact that I don't have to go over areas twice to get things picked up. Possible drawback- While it can be wall mounted, I wouldn't really recommend it due to it's size (with all the extras). It really blows my old handvac out of the water. Even if it is abit more expensive, it is worth the money. It gets into corners and tight areas that the dustbuster couldn't fit in. I highly recommend this.
