Product Description

Quieter, lighter, and easier to maneuver than a traditional suction-powered vacuum, this rechargeable cordless sweeper is a joy to use. It efficiently cleans up messes ranging from tracked-in mud to spilled Cheerios on either floors or carpet, all without messy bags and filters, tripping over cords, or dragging a heavy vacuum from one outlet to another. Powerful brush-roll action sweeps rather than sucks dirt onto a dust tray that removes easily for emptying. The low-profile design with swiveling head reaches easily into tight corners and under furniture, and the whole sweeper converts to a hand-held unit for cleaning stairs, upholstery, or your car--a feature that’s especially handy for couches covered with pet hair. The Euro-Pro cleans a 10-inch path and weighs just 5 pounds for shipping, measures 10-1/3 by 4-1/2 by 12-1/2 inches, and is covered by a one-year limited warranty. --Mary Park

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little sweeper!, February 6, 2005

By	D. Gardenhire (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have this one and the 3 speed shark sweeper, and I like this one alot better. It is more compact, so it gets around places real easy, where the other is 13 inches wide and won't fitin certain areas as easily. I use it everyday and it runs fine, with no problems. The bigger one seems to bog down on carpets, even when I set it for carpets, but not this little guy.. Oh, and this quick n quiet sweeper is alot quieter that the bigger ones, but does the job as good or better in my opinion..

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best purchases I have ever made, November 26, 2007

By	C. Merced (Stamford, CT and sometimes in Puerto Rico) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Length:: 1:31 Mins

The Euroshark sweeper is one of the best items I have ever bought. As the video shows, the sweeper is very versatile and useful. It works in either carpet or tiles, although I think it works best on carpets.

What it DOES pick up:
I have been able to pick up glass, nals, screws, paper, hair, dust, chocolate mix and many more things. This sweeper does pick up all of these things. I once broke a wine glass in the my carpet and the sweeper was able to pick up most of the pieces of glass. It allows me to do a quick sweep of the place to try to keep things neat.

What it does not pick up:
Crumpled up paper (as in the video), but it does pick up bits of paper.

Battery:
The battery lasts a surprising long time. Days actually. I charge my sweeper every 2 weeks or so (depending on use; I use it about 2-3 times a week and live in an apartment). I am not sure how long it actually takes to charge but I believe this is specified in the instructions.
With this sweeper.

Emptying the sweeper:
It is really easy to empty the sweeper. You just remove the compartment and dump it in the trash. I do have to say that it is annoying to clean the bristles of the sweeper. Hair strands get tangled in the bristles and it is hard to get them off. What I usually do is to use a pair of scissors to cut them up and then clean the bristles.

Bottom line:
This is a great investment and will make cleaning better, quicker and easier. I hope the video is better and that the quality is ok.


Update: 9/11/2008:

Ok, so the sweeper rebelled on me. It got clogged, started making strange noises and would spit out all it had cleaned. So, thinking I am a repair genious, I took it apart. What an ordeal! Take this advice I give you: Do Not Take It Apart! After I cleaned it, I could not put it back together. After a day of trying, I put it back together...in some form. The noises and reduced performance remained. But, somehow, the sweeper has been working very well again. It does not have the same strength, but after I dismantled it I cannot expect much. So, I still stand by my 5 star rating. I love this thing.

3.0 out of 5 stars convenient but can't sweep it all up, January 8, 2006

By	L. J. Favor "lfavor" (Woodinville, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I got this sweeper to sweep dog hair and pine needles off the hard floors (I live in The Evergreen State, and there are a lot of pine needles getting tracked in!). The sweeper did well getting these things swept up, plus I swept everywhere faster and without breaking a sweat (I am 9 months pregnant, so this was important to me!!). I was able to get dog hair and kitchen crumbs off the flat carpet mats in my kitchen, too. Those are the "pros."

The cons are that the sweeper can't sweep right next to baseboards, so you get a 1-inch strip of floor that stays unswept along all walls and under cabinet edges. The dog hair and crumbs, etc. migrate from this strip onto the floor you just swept, and it still looks a little dirty.

Also, the dog hair wrapped around the sweeper bristles like a hairbrush, so that after one sweeping session I had to get scissors and cut the hair off the bristles. I'll have to do this every time I use the sweeper, I guess. The dog hair rolled up in the wheels of the sweeper, too, and I couldn't get it all out.

Also, the sweeper works best on exactly flat surfaces. My stairs have a little lip at the front edge, which takes the edge of the sweeper up a tiny bit. It's enough to prevent the sweeper from doing a good job on the stairs (not to mention that it can't sweep the edges near the walls and back risers).

Overall, if you want your floor to look nice for company, you're gonna have to use a broom. This sweeper is good for in-between sweeps, when you're just trying to keep things from getting away from you.
