1.0 out of 5 stars I despise this vacuum!!, July 26, 2005

This review is from: Euro-Pro Shark UV209 Pursuit Bagless Upright Vacuum (Kitchen)

My biggest problem with this vacuum is that there is only one tiny little hole for all the dirt to be sucked up in...it's on only one side of the vacuum (very deceiving!) and it constantly gets clogged and it's not easy to get to so you can clean it out. It shuts down all the time....It's just an overall mess and their customer service will cost you more money than a new vacuum...total waste of money.

My cheap "backup" vac, which is a little $20 Boss has more amp and better suction that this piece of crap. I wind up using it on more areas that I do the shark, which is more like a sick goldfish.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly designed Junk, October 29, 2005

This review is from: Euro-Pro Shark UV209 Pursuit Bagless Upright Vacuum (Kitchen)

According to the instructions "To release the handle, step on the power head and pull back" This has always been the most difficult part of using this vacume. There is no release mechanism like most vacumes have. I always had to pull it back with with brute force. Well finally after 15 months of only light use it broke. It broke big time. Of course its no longer under warranty. I'm upset that I wasted my money on this vacume and now it will go to a landfill for eternity. I would have given this item no stars if it was an option. JUNK!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Gets the Dog Hair!, July 10, 2004

This review is from: Euro-Pro Shark UV209 Pursuit Bagless Upright Vacuum (Kitchen)

I bought this vacuum today--came with a free handheld. The handheld is tiny compared to others out there and just as (if not more) powerful. The upright: I did the kitchen floor and the bedroom (carpet). Initially I said it's a vacuum; it did what it should but I have a dog and much of fur had accumulated under the bed (clumped around the footposts); last week I had used my old vacuum (which went kaput when a dog toy got stuck in but that's a different story) and it could not make a dent in the accumulated dog fur. The shark picked it up like it was nothing. So as of now, I'm impressed. It's also very light and easy to maneuver and the headlight is brighter than others I've used.
