Not a very powerful vacuum
936725
The vacuum is ok for general use but is not very powerful. You have to run the vacuum on one area multiple times with slow movements and apply pressure directed at what you want to vacuum. Often leaves behind hair and dust. Does not work on non carpeted areas very well. Also its very difficult to vacuum the corners and sides of the walls as the attachments are not very effective.

This vacuum is okay for making due in a small apartment, but it wears down pretty quickly. The brush that they provide for cleaning the bristles isn't very effective, and so the vacuum gets clogged pretty quickly. But if you don't need to use it too often, it'll due.

This is a great vacuum for dust, but not so great for larger sized items. The floor roller component is very low to the ground and will not pick up things like dried peas, cheerios, etc. that are often found on the floor in homes with kids. Fine for dust and hair and very small crumbs, but pretty annoying to have to do a second pass with the nozzle attachment to pick up the larger stuff.

This vacuum was recommended but I am not 100% happy with it.
I wouldn't pay full price. Glad I got it on sale or this would be going back.
Cons:
The hose is to short & won't even reach to vacuum a ceiling fan or anything high up.
This vacuum is much heavier than my last one.
Hard to get the dog hair out of the canister when emptying it.
Pros:
It does vacuum nice.
I like the rewind cord.
It is good at picking up bird seed (I have 4 birds).

It's not very powerful. In fact i have to wiggle it around in order for it to pick up ANYTHING.

It's a nice vacuum. But isn't really great in the suction dept.  It's light weight though & perfect for just a quick pick up.

It isn't very good on the stairs and that's why I bought it. I was getting ready to move when I ordered it,and time got away from me, so I couldn't send it back. The first time I used it, I was disappointed in the lack of suction. Love my Dyson but they need to work on this little guy.

i own an oreck vacuum for the rugs in the kids room, but 75% of my house (approx 1500 sq. feet) is sealed hardwood oak floors. i have two dogs, a rottweiler and a jack russell terrier, who shed quite a lot year round. the oreck is very good for the carpeted areas, but the beater bar feature just sort of blows the dirt and hair around the wood floors and is clumsy in the corners. after reading the reviews i decided to try the euro-pro shark. the price was great with free shipping.  it's very small and lighthweight which is a plus, and stores easily in my broom closet. it has a lot of suction power on the wood floors, and picks up all the dog hair easily, even in the corners and under the radiater registers. i've tried other electric brooms, but they didn't have anywhere near the suction of the shark and are made much more cheaply, the last one i had actually snapped in half. if you're looking for a heavy duty vacuum for carpets, this is not the one, but if you want a powerful little electric broom for hard floor surfaces i would highly reccomend this one.

Adequate for very small jobs, suction could be better.

I purchased this vacuum during a lightening deal for $145.50. I was really looking forward to receiving it and using it around my house, but found it to be cumbersome, lacking in power, time consuming and physically demanding - I actually broke out in a sweat while using this vacuum.

Honestly, this vacuum would be okay for businesses, such as restaurants, that have cheap low-pile carpeting, tile or wood floors and need a vacuum that makes very little noise, Yet, for my thick high-pile carpet, this vacuum is pretty much useless.

Hopefully I can recoup my money or make a profit off of it in my next garage sale.

Works good but don't expect this to replace an upright. It just isn't powerful enough to do the job an upright would do especially with pet hair and carpeting. It works goo for cleaning up small messes, steps, kitchen, things like that. The attachments are cheap and the holder is super cheap, I wish it could be put on the canister instead of the hose. It empties easily and is easy to clean, it pulls well. The hose connections are cheap and only slip together, there are no clips to hold them, they seem to stay together pretty well though. I don't like that it is a large footprint for the power this has, it needs to be a little more compact I think so it would be easier to store.

I expected amazing suction because its a Dyson but I don't feel like it works any better than any other vacuum Ive owned. It doesnt pick up bigger items like a Cheerio. Having a young kid...this is not very helpful.

Since the tank and the brush roll is clear you have to clean this vacuum quit a bit and after you use it once it won't look good again. I have to use a kitchen knife to get the dirt out of the tank as there isn't much clearance between the filter and the dirt container and it gets stuck in there.

The fact that its cordless is really nice. The attachments snap on and off easy. The turbo mode is really nice and what I expected suction wise but it won't last long enough to even clean the car before the battery dies.

Pros:

1. It has a nice, long charge that seems to last quite a while

2. It's fairly easy to use, it's easy to maneuver

Cons:

1. It doesn't do a good job at actually vacuuming everything! I have to go over the same parts time and time again...

That's really all I have to say about it. I read all these great reviews and expected it to be a more powerful machine. Instead, despite great design and battery life I'm finding it wanting in the one area I need most: picking up dirt and gunk off my stairs!

This vacuum does really well on bare floors without scattering dirt around. My old Vac was 12 amp and this is only 7 amp so the hose is not near as powerful as my old one. I do wish I had searched a bit more and bought another 12 amp.

This vacuum works well enough, but won't pick up BB's.  The suction is not strong enough.  For that I am disappointed as my son dropped a whole bunch of small bb's on the floor and I had to practically feed them into the vacuum.  I gave up and got my shop vac.
The shark would pick them up, but didn't have enough strength to get them into the dust cup unless I held the hose upside down.  Pretty lame for a vacuum that claims to have more suction than a dyson.  I wonder what else it's not picking up now!?!  Oh, I purchased it at Walmart, that's why mine is not a verified purchase.

Not the greatest Vacuum, but does work in a pinch. Very small and motor stopped moving the brushes so picking up dirt had to be done by going over the carpet many times. I just bought a Euerka for about the same price and that works much better.

I really wanted to like this vacuum - and there are things I like about it - but the fact is that it doesn't vacuum very well.  I like that it has a light in the front, I like that it is light-weight and easy to move around the little brushes on the side sweep out he corners.  The battery lasts a long time and it is easy to clean out.  But, it just isn't powerful enough to suck up dirt, hair and even dust.  It gets clogged really easily, which makes it stop working entirely.  If it had more power, it wouldn't clog as quickly.  We have one dog who sheds, which is the reason we got this so we could do quick vacuums around the house without pulling out the big shark.  But the hair just sticks to the front and clogs up the inside.  Even when we clean out the canister regularly, and change the filter, it doesn't work any better.
