Carpet Cleaners Reviews

If you are compulsive about keeping your home (or anything else) clean, this product is GREAT! It has three attachments to complete almost any job. One is a brush for the floor, a squeegee like tool for windows and tiles, and a small brush for jobs like the oven. I primarily bought it to clean my baseboards and hardwood floors. It literally blasts the dust and dirt away. You do have to follow with a clean cloth to finish up the job, but it makes it very easy by disolving the grime. I also cleaned my oven with it, and it powers away the grease and mess with ease. The steam is super hot, and I felt like I was really able to sanitize my floors with it, which is important to me with small children crawling around. Additionally, it can be used to clean out small spaces which are normally difficult to clean, like cupholders in the car, around taps in the bathrooms etc. I think this is a great product, and well worth the money!

This vac is an absolute hunk o'Junk!

1)It over heats and turns itself off (after only 10 minutes of vacuuming) and it will not restart for at least 45 minutes.
2)The dust cup or containment compartment is MESSY and difficult to empty, when removed it creates a huge dust cloud over the waste basket.
3)I am convinced the replacement filters for this machine do not exsist, I have found not one retailer who sells this product that carries the filters.
4) And as for trying to contact Euro-Pro, the maker of this marvelous machine, you can let the unit cool while you are on hold with customer service.

I live in a narrow and cluttered NYC apartment so I purchased this vacuum thinking that it could be used to clean up the floors and the attached hose could be used get under all the futurniture and other surfaces.

It works ok at best on the open floor but when you get down on your hands and knees to try to get under the futons and behind bookcases, the exhaust ends up blowing the dust bunnies all over the place. Unless you cradle the body of the vacuum against your body so that the strong exhaust dosen't end up scattering the dust you were trying to pick up, it ends up creating a bigger mess than when you started.

It could be extremely useful as its light weight and versitile, but the design flaws make it a complete waste of money.

I use this vacuum to supplement my Dyson as I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 children. It works well on wood floors and even my basement floors where I keep my cats' litter boxes. However, the cord is short and it does not work very well on carpet. Sometimes I'll vacuum closet spaces or use it on our stairs; however, I would not recommend using this as your main source for sweeping up after your pets. My Dyson is a miracle worker compared to this, and the customer service department for Dyson is much more efficient. When one of my children broke my Dyson hose, I called the customer service department and they sent me another hose at no charge. The Shark filter costs nearly $18 to replace, and because the Shark is a small vacuum, it does not take long before the filter needs to be replaced if you have pets who shed a lot. I have even rinsed the filter, but it still bears replacing. It's great for sweeping up small jobs, but if you are looking for something to suction up a large space or after pets and children, keep looking.

[...] Used it a couple times with generally good results. It's not THAT quiet. No more quiet than the 7 year old eureka it was replacing. I came home from work one day, and my wife was using the old vacuum. She said the sharp would not turn on. I plugged it in and it worked ok, although suction seemed way down ( yes, the bin was empty and clean, and there was no obstruction in any hoses. ) I vacuumed for around 10 minutes, then it just shut off and wouldn't turn on. I should have just bought a good vacuum to begin with, because I'll have to do it now anyway.

The vacuum is good, picks up everything and my carpet and tile looks great after i use it. But the belt breaks alot, I bought 5 belts with the vac and in 1 year i had to replace the belt 2 times.

After trying it for a week or so, I purchase one for my mother. Now I am back to purchase one more for my sister and they dont sell it anymore? Why?
