Use the broomstick.
Luckily I bought extended warrenty and so got 2nd one. It overheats after doing every bedroom. Then you clean all 3 filters make your hands dirty and vacuum all the mess you created while cleaning filter.

Do not but it. Do not accept is as a gift. If it is in the box return for something else.

This vacuum cleaner is TERRIBLE and a complete waste of money. It overheats very quickly & takes forever to cool off so that you can continue vacuuming. The filters clog up quickly & easily making the vacuum lose suction. There's also hardly any suction when you use the tool attachments. When you empty the canister, dust flies everywhere! We ended up replacing it after only a few months with a Hoover Windtunnel Supreme (HEPA filtration with a special allergen bag) & are much happier with it.

My Shark vacuum's adjustable handle broke after only a month of use. Then, to make matters worse, it recently starting overheating and spontaneously shutting off, forcing me to vacuum only one room at a time. And this vacuum wasn't cheap! The Shark company makes little or no effort to fix its products, and I have been left with a near useless vaccum that I have only had for one year. Don't waste your time: buy a different brand!

I purchased this at another store, and I wish I had read the reviews ahead of time. My mom sang the praises of her smaller shark, and I decided to purchase one. After a few minutes it overheats and is useless. The safety feature causes the periods where you CAN vaccuum to be way too short. I actually have to vaccuum the rest of the house with another vaccum. DO NOT RECOMMEND this if you a busy professional, as the overheating is very annoying.

It's horrible; can't clean; very dirty; and a waste of money! I'm checking other reviews as I type to buy another vaccuum. This one's going in the trash. I have two dogs and it shuts off every 10 minutes of vaccuuming from overheating. I can actually see the dirt flying everywhere but into the vaccuum. Don't waste your money or your time shopping for this.

I am now using my SECOND Shark pursuit. THe first one had the annoying habit of shutting itself off after using it for 15 or 20 minutes. I returned it to get another one, thinking I had a defective unit. Amazingly enough, the SECOND one does the same thing. I called the Euro-Pro folks and they said the machine was overheating and the filter needed to be cleaned out. Well, folks, even after cleaning it out, washing it with clean water adn then letting it dry for 24 hours---- it STILL shut itself off. This machine is AWFUL! I will be returning this item. BEWARE ALL OF YOU!!

I have had nothing but problems with this particular vacuum. I live in a small apartment and it does not get very dirty. However, this vacuum cleaner will shut itself off after only 10 minutes of use. To re-start it I have to turn off, un-plug, and wait 45 minutes to start it up again. I have spoken to others who have had this same problem and tried to send it to the company for repairs under the warranty. It would cost them more to ship it than the vacuum cost in the first place. It's a terrible product, so do not waste your money.

Too bad they don't give you a negative star rating to choose from. This vaccum worked great for about the first month. After that it cuts off after vaccuming one room. I am about ready to throw in the lake! I would take it back to Foley's and tell them what a bad product they are selling but it has been too long. I kept fooling around washing the filters, letting them dry (which takes almost two days for them to dry!) and trying to vaccum again thinking it would get better, after all it wasn't a cheap cleaner. It does however pick up massive amounts of carpet deodrizer (you know that white powder you sprinkle on the floor)that my son's Oreck leaves behind. But after a couple of minutes it cuts off from being hot and filters clogged, so what good is that? I will just throw it in the dumpster because if I give it away, that person might become so frustrated they may throw it at me through my window!! LOL Seriously, this cleaner belongs in the dumpster!

I bought a shark, the red model, with a little battery-charged sweeper. I hate the vacuum. The dirt, "cup" is hardly bigger than a coffee cup and fills up within minutes. After a couple of months it just quit picking up. I do like the little sweeper for floors though. I would not recommend it. You would be better off with a automobile hand-held vacuum.

Purchased this vacuum to replace a bissell that stunk. This vacuum was great at first, great suction, picked up alot of the dog hair my other vacuum missed. Easy to empty but then if the filters are not cleaned after every vacuum the vacuum losses suction. Then there is the problem of if you use it to long it shuts off and you have to wait for it to cool down I geuss in order for it to turn on again. Needless to say I returned it and got my money back.
