5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful appliance for household use!, October 8, 2002
My previous hand-held was a DustBuster cordless vac. As its name implies, in my experience, the only thing it *could* pick up was, well, dust. It was not effective for picking up plant soil, sugar, etc. I needed to upgrade to a stronger appliance.We purchased the Euro-Pro Shark Deluxe Cordless Hand Vacuum about a month ago. I wanted to wait that long before offering my opinion. Well, I am here to say that it is, hands down, one of the best purchases we have made to date! We live in a condo and found that the Shark is ideal for picking up anything from leaves and dirt...to heavy beads (I had a little accident with my craft kit...the beads were the same dark color as my carpet so I used the Shark to remove them!). And, yes, the Shark does pick up bolts (we wanted to test the commercial!). We have used this product for cleaning out our car after a beach trip (GREAT with sand!); cleaning the foyer of leaves and dirt, cleaning the stairs of dog hair, cleaning the kitchen of spills, cleaning the bathroom of human hair. Its potential is unlimited! The suction of this vacuum is 1000 times stronger than the DustBuster! Also, the charge of the DustBuster ran out *very* quickly. The power lasts MUCH longer with the Shark. Unfortunately, I have not timed its usage before charge drainage but I have yet to run out of power while in the middle of cleaning (this consistently happened with the DustBuster). This Shark model comes with four attachments...all of them useful! It has a large brush, a small brush, a long tube and a small tube. The brushes can be attached to the tubes as extensions or the tubes can be used alone. All the attachments and the vacuum unit are conveniently stored on a single stand. However, Euro-Pro calls this a 'charging stand.' Once you take the vacuum off the stand, it is almost impossible to get the charging wire back into the vacuum while on the stand. I have to bring the wire over the stand to plug it in. A minor flaw in the stand design but that does not at all take away from the excellent features of the Euro-Pro. In summary, I would recommend this item to anyone! 5 stars out of 5!
