A Strong Sweeper,
By Michael Kerner "Michael Kerner" (Brooklyn, New York U.S.A.) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: Shark V1950 VX3 Cordless Floor and Carpet Cleaner (Kitchen)
The people at Shark and Euro-Pro cleaning companies have always known how to make so many great products with vacuums, and carpet sweepers. Nevertheless, when it comes down to it, it really is on how well the vacuum really lasts. Shark's previous cordless sweepers have all done a great job at picking up after everyday messes, but they have been some glitches. I was honestly very skeptical with the latest model when I saw it on television, and I liked it a lot, but as I started to use it, I was hoping for just a bit more. Here is my verdict.
The Shark VX3 Cordless Sweeper is the latest in Euro-Pro's well-recieved carpet sweeper line. This one does a good job at picking up after pet hair and fuzz, and is very simple to setup. You can pick up actually a lot of pet hair, fuzz, or anything off your floors and carpets. It is easy to charge up, and does really works well. The no-mess dust cup is very simple to clean up, and easily removes all that was picked up from the floors. The vacuum is also very easy to carry around, and take from room to room, without feeling the drag of carrying around your vacuum and getting a backache. That is what I think, even though there really are a few problems that still make could've been a bit easier to pick up after. The first problem deals with the battery. ou have to really keep the sweeper plugged in to your outelt for at least a day, inorder to fully charge a the battery. The VX3's battery also could've had a bit stronger battery life than just an hour long. The second problem deals with the backsaver feature. While the VX3 does pick up well, and is easy to operate, I had a tricky time manuvering the VX3 with the backsaver handle. While the concept is ingenius at folding the handle to make it easier at picking up under the beds and those hard-to-reach areas, it is honestly a little bit harder to control and steer the sweeper. Still, despite a few problems with the Shark VX3 Cordless Sweeper, I still think it is a very good buy for anyone who wants a easier way to clean up after all those messes on the floor. It just does a great job at really cleaning up your floors and is great for small homes and apartments, or any home that works at a great pace. While you can get this though the As Seen On TV ads, you also can find this at your nearest Macy's for around $70, instead of getting both the VX3 and VX1 models like the infomercial says in its offer for $130. So, suck those problems on the floor away, and try this sweeper out. Quality: B- Price: B Battery Life: C Setup: B+ Easy To Operate: B 1/2- Overall: B-

Useless for pet hair. :-(,

This review is from: Shark V1950 VX3 Cordless Floor and Carpet Cleaner (Kitchen)
I was really optimistic about the Shark VX3 from the good reviews I'd read on Amazon and other sites about it. Unfortunately it just did not meet my needs. I have two very hairy dogs and hard wood floors in my house. I was hoping to find a cordless that I could just pull out every day or two to keep on top of the hair bunnies. The Shark, however, only pushes and blows the hair around. It only picked up maybe half of it, and the rest is still floating around out there. However, it did pick up my black lab's entire choke collar. And a corner of my rug.
Bottom line: if you like dropping pounds of screws on your floor and pretending you're on an infomercial, this vacuum is for you. If you'd rather pick up normal things like hair, dust, and dirt, don't bother with the Shark.

This review is from: Shark V1950 VX3 Cordless Floor and Carpet Cleaner (Kitchen)
We purchased this sweeper in hopes that it would provide an easy way to sweep our laminate floors free of dog hair and kid debris. Well, it does get the dog hair, but requires many passes. It ends up taking longer to sweep the floor with this sweeper than it would have to haul out the regular vacuum. It probably misses about 25% of the hair in the first pass, and when you pull the sweeper back toward yourself, it brings a nice pile of hair with it. It does not work in reverse! Sometimes it spits out big clumps of dog hair, which will entertaining, adds to the length of cleaning time. Also, the rotating brush is getting full of long hair, which is a pain to clean out. It picks up dry pasta, sand and other similar bits easy, but who cares? If that's all I had to clean up I'd stick with a broom.
The feel of the unit is cheap. I always feel like it's going to break when I snap the dust tray back into place. Speaking of the dust tray, users will enjoy the fact that they will have to sweep the floor in the area where the pulled the tray out. You always end up with dirt and hair on the floor. You will need to pick up the base unit and empty it too, since it always has dirt in it too. A wonderful undocumented feature! Now that I've vented about everything I dislike, here's a few of it's better features: * Lightweight - Cheap stuff usually is! * Long run-time on a charge - You will need it! * Articulating handle - It works good and actually is handy.
