3.0 out of 5 stars
Decent, corded vacuum, July 27, 2005
This review is from: Euro-Pro EP035 Shark 800-Watt Turbo Handheld Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)
I've owned this product for over a year now, and while it does very well with picking up stuff on hard surfaces, it really does not do well on carpets, sofas, etc. Some other problems include:
1. Very noisy, much louder than even full-size vacuums
2. Attachments do not stay on very well
Some pluses are:
1. Very lightweight
2. Long cord allows for a good reach
3. Small, portable size
Overall, there probably are better ones out there, but if you can get this at a low price (I bought mine when Amazon had it for $5) it's a good, small convenient vacuum for small solid surfaces.

The best tool for a certain job..., July 21, 2006
This review is from: Euro-Pro EP035 Shark 800-Watt Turbo Handheld Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)
...and that job is catching houseflies! That's right -- it comes with an extension hose and a shoulder strap so you can grip a survival knife in your free hand. I recommend buying an extension chord so you can go all through the house. I terminated about 30 houseflies (don't know where they came from), almost all of them from the air. It's a very satisfying feeling when you outmaneuver a houselfy -- feeling its tiny body being torn apart by the 700 WATT engine of death. Plus, it leaves no bug stains on the carpet or walls. Just dump out the corpses when you are through, or pin them on tiny stakes and leave them out as an example to others.

Sucks (In the Way You Want It To), February 23, 2007
This review is from: Euro-Pro EP035 Shark 800-Watt Turbo Handheld Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)
*****
This Shark is a great little vacuum---what a bargain for the money! The listed price is a little high, but now having owned it, I can say that I would pay $70 for this vacuum if it lasts, and I hope it does. I've had mine for a month and use it multiple times per day.
Yes, it is noisy, but that's because it is small yet has suction that works like nobody's business. I use it by my woodstove, and after everything cools, I use it to clean up ashes, small flecks of wood and dirt, etc.---stuff you'd find around a woodstove---and it gets everything. It sucks so hard that it almost "sticks" to the tile! Sometimes I get dark marks from charred wood on the tile by the woodstove, and it even sucks those up.
I like having so many attachments, and they seem to work well. I don't use the shoulder strap, as it isn't heavy for me to carry around. Note that this Shark has a cord, and so must be plugged in. Also note that this vacuum is for small areas. You'd get really tired trying to do large areas with it, as the brushes are not very wide. It is absolutely perfect for any small area.
I've used my sturdy little Shark on tile, hardwood, and on the carpet we have near the fireplace, which is heavy and fireproof. I wouldn't use it with a flimsy carpet (like a rag rug) as it would suck it up.
Highly recommended.
