Shark Bottom-Emptying Cordless Sweeper |

Summary: Broke the 1st day...
Comments: I just wanted something for quick pick-ups on rugs and bare floors. This product really disappointed me. Aside from the fact that1of the plastic parts broke the 1st day (rendering it completely useless since it's a part that needs to be sealed in order to keep suction), there is little to no suction to begin with so basically all this thing did was push the hair and fur around into little stripes.
The dust cup is poorly designed - e time I emptied it, I had to reach down and push the flap closed to get it to fit back in. Plus, I couldn't figure out why they designed it so the cup would empty into the base of the thing whenever I used the release howeverton.
The only positive worth mentioning is that the brush did seem to rotate strongly enough to pull pet hair out of throw rugs. |

Summary: great for e day cleaning
Comments: I purchased this sweeper about2months ago to sweep my kitchen floor and living room carpet on a daily basis(I was using the dirt devil however I found it wasn't picking up larger debri...so I retired it to clean the bed and bathroom floors daily). I am so pleased with this sweeper that I purchased a second sweeper (the 2 speed) for my cats area. For those of you who have had trouble keeping the sweeper charged; it is really important that let the battery charge for at least 20hrs prior to use (I charged mine for 2 days and it does make a difference). For those of you who have had suction trouble; it sounds like your machine might be defective (both of my machines are factory refurbished, so whatever was originally wrong with these devices have been fixed). I suggest this product for eone. Before purchasing this sweeper I would get so stressed at the constant sweeping of the floors (I have a young son and a cat so lots of clean up). I sweep my floors minimum 2-3 times a day so now my stress has been relieved. Hair does get tangled around the brushes (mine inculded surprisingly), however I wipe the machine out on a regular basis and empty the dust cup e day to keep it in top working order. |

Summary: Nice to quickly clean up fur and cat litter
Comments: I was pleasantly surprized by this lightweight, re-chargeable sweeper. It does exactly what I want it to do, which is to quickly pick up fur and cat litter which is tracked on the carpet close to the litter box. It does better on carpet than on bare floors, and you wouldn't want to try to vacuum your entire house with it. however for limited, quick clean ups on carpet, it's great!! The only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it is limited as to what it will pick up on bare floors. |

Summary: Handle Broke!!!!
Comments: We saw this vac being used in a restaurant and was highly endorseed. We purchased1soon after. After a short time - about 2 months - the handle broke off right above the base. We thought it was our fault. We liked the vac so we purchased another. Bad move on our part. It broke again - same place. Twice burned - never again!!!! |

Summary: Shark products amazing, customer service sucks!!
Comments: Shark products are wonderful. I have had a basic 2 speed for several years and love it, no problems. The more options you get, no handle dust cup, etc. the more that can go wrong. The company is horrible to work with. New parts take months to arrive if they arrive at all. This makes me wonder, if they parts do not arrive, are too many machines breaking and they can not keep up with part orders? I have several cats that shed and cat litter. Shark works perfectly for this, especially the higher end model. However, I can not keep it charged and I can not get part, so I have boycotted Shark. However, they have revamped their website, showing parts available for each product, assuming you know what part you need. There is1other website out there that sells Shark parts. My vac store stopped selling Shark because of their customer service. Unfortunately, I can not find another product to fit my need. If I purchase another Shark, it will definitely be more basic and I will consider it as disposable and throw it away when something happens to it rather then deal directly with the company. The dust cup was the 1st part to break within 2 months. After months of waiting for new part, I just broke off a piece and used it as is. I found the no touch dust cup much harder to use then emptying it my hand, which is just pulling the cup out and emptying it. So, purchaseer beware!! My rating is on customer service, the Shark company and the fact a great product wears out too quickly. |
