Product Description

Amazon.com Review

A budget canister with versatile accessories, the Shark Roadster is equipped for hard floors as well as carpets. At 10.8 amps of power, it is reasonably lightweight and maneuverable, with large wheels for easy mobility and onboard tools for quick conversion. Dirt collection is bagged, and replacing the bags is a straightforward process, thanks to the wide-opening hatch. Though this is probably not the best machine for acres of wall-to-wall, it is handy for quick pickups, small carpeted areas, and bare floors. The plastic tools and accessories include a floor-to-carpet brush, a stretch hose, two extension wands, an upholstery tool, and a clever two-in-one brush and crevice attachment. Other useful details include a retractable cord, a full-bag indicator, manually adjustable suction, and large function buttons, Euro Pro covers the machine with a one-year warranty and throws in nine extra bags. --Emily Bedard

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT buy this item, December 28, 2004

This review is from: Euro-Pro Shark Roadster Canister Vacuum (Kitchen)

It is impossible to find replacement bags. I tried calling Euro Pro and they keep me on hold for 10 minutes and hang up on me. The website is non-existent and I have tried every vaccuum cleaner store (including online). There are no bags to be found. What is worse is that the company doesn't seem to care. I will NEVER buy a Euro Pro product again.

1.0 out of 5 stars GREAT - IF YOU NEED A BIG PLASTIC PAPERWEIGHT, June 13, 2005

This review is from: Euro-Pro Shark Roadster Canister Vacuum (Kitchen)

What a peice of junk! Almost immeidtaely, the cord stopped retracting, then we ran out of bags and discovered that none were to be had. After much effort, I found their website, which listed bags. I ordered them they never came. I called the company and after about 30 minutes on hold a very bored person came online. I told her I ordered bags but they'd never arrived. "Oh" she said.
"OH" ????!!!!
After MUCH prying, she finally deigned to tell me that the vacuum was discontinued and so, she "guessed," were the bags.

STELLAR COMPANY. WHAT TREMENDOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE.

I suggest buying from this company only if you are very bored, want to spend a lot of time on hold on the phone, and don't really want to vaccum anyway.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great power, easy to handle, November 9, 2005

This compact vacuum cleaner is very powerful. It's easy to maneuver because of it's light weight and big wheels. Easy to clean under furniture. Works well on hardwood floors as well as carpet.

The big disadvantage is that the replacement bags are very hard to find. I finally found an online store that sells them, although their shipping costs are relatively high. [...]
