Euro-Pro UV610SH Shark Cordless Sweeper Review

Euro-Pro UV610SH Shark Cordless Sweeper

Forget the negative reviews if you have hardwood floors...this thing works great! My entire house is hardwood floors and I've tried several upright vacuums, and they ALL shoot stuff out of the back. The Shark never shoots anything out...and 99.9% of the time it picks everything up: from rice, coffee, dust-bunnies, crumbs, coins, potato chips...anything that other expensive vacuums I've tried can't. It's convenient to use, lightweight, it stays charged (which btw, when calibrating the battery, they suggest you charge/drain the battery twice. I've drained it once so far, and it ran for over 45 minutes). The swivel handle is great, and maneuvers like a steering wheel.
I even use this thing on the back porch to pick up leaves, berries, and stuff I don't feel like getting out the broom & dustpan for.
I don't think this machine is designed for heavy duty work, or not sure how it would perform on deep-pile carpet, but for my hardwood situation it's perfect!
Also, the little wheel for baseboards really works! It throws stuff right in front of the beeterbar to be consumed.

No bags or filters to change, no dirty exhaust air and no cord to trip over or get tangled in...Sound to good to be true? Rest assured the Shark sweeper, which runs on a rechargeable battery pack/adapter, has powerful Brushroll cleaning action that grabs everything from soggy pieces of food, to dirt on your carpet, to metal nuts on your hard floor and places it into a removable dirt tray. Its Wall Hugging Technology side brush cleans corners and picks up dirt along walls. You can easily convert it into a handheld sweeper, perfect for stairs or the car.

Shark Multi-Vac, NH15 Review

Shark Multi-Vac, NH15

From [...]
I really wanted to like the Shark Multi-Vac, but, God help me, I'm about to throw it out the window! At first I thought having a vacuum with multiple uses (hand vac, upright vac, and canister vac) would be great, but changing from one configuration to another takes a degree in rocket science and a lot of energy. I'm generally a very tech-y girl, but I really don't want to be deconstructing and reconstructing a robot when all I want to do is vacuum the kitchen floor!!
Deep breath.
For ease of reading, I'll list the pros and cons (of which there are many):
Pros:
* Low Price: With one of those 20% coupons Bed, Bath and Beyond sends in the mail what seems like every day, I was able to buy the Shark Multi-Vac for about $80 at the BB&B on Queens Blvd.
* Small Size: Petite for a small home/apartment
* Powerful Suction: The suction was so strong it actually got hard to push on some of my carpets. (Wait, does that make the suction a con in this instance?)
* Back Saver Attachment: This attachment, used in canister mode, allows you to get under furniture without moving heavy pieces or straining your back. However, I couldn't even figure out how to convert the vacuum to canister mode and I strained my back with frustration anyway!
* Purple Vacuum: Need I say more?
Cons:
* Crazy Swivel Steering: I would have thought swivel steering would be a pro, but it is actually really hard to steer the vacuum where you want it. I had a hard time pushing the vacuum straight ahead and actually needed to lift it and replace it down on the floor a couple of times.
* Complicated Design: As I said above, it is difficult to transition from one vacuum format to another and putting the vacuum together out of the box was like building a spaceship (I exaggerate a little, of course). You also need to remove the entire hand vacuum from the stick to empty the dust cup, which is supremely annoying.
* Inconvenient Power Switch Location: Unless you have some serious monkey toes, you'll need to bend down to the bottom of the vac to reach the power switch, which out of multi-use necessity must be on the hand vac canister. This pregnant lady did not appreciate that.
* No Beater Brush: The upright vac does not have a beater brush, which means the vac won't kick up things and I had trouble picking up even a feather from our extremely low-pile carpeting. (I did have more success with the upright vac in our tiled kitchen.)
* Heavy: Despite being advertised as "light-weight," this Shark is actually a bit of a chore to push around. Perhaps this is an unfortunate side effect, however, of the difficult steering and super suction.
* Short Hose: Forget about cleaning your curtains when the vac is in upright mode. The most you're stretching this hose is two feet and it doesn't come with a long-reaching nozzle attachment.
The bottom line is that I must return this vacuum before it drives me crazy. I was blinded by how cool and gadgety the Shark Multi-Vac Looks, but I've learned a lesson that simple and dependable is generally the way to go with household appliances.

Offering excellent versatility, the Euro-Pro Shark Multi-Vac (model NH15) is a great choice for hard surface floors, carpets, high ceilings, hard-to-reach spaces, and more. It effortlessly converts from a hand vacuum to an above-floor canister to a maneuverable stick vacuum in no time at all. When faced with needing to get into tight spaces, just detach the Portable Canister at the heart of the Euro-Pro Shark and use it with a short hose or with the long hose and powerhead controlled by the Backsaver handle--which clips to the hose and allows you to stand upright while both holding the canister and maneuvering the hose.
The high clearance of the main powerhead allows you to effortlessly pick up large particles, and it comes with a variety of versatile attachments to help you tackle any cleaning task--including pet hair power brush and 2-in-1 crevice/dusting tool. Other features include a large capacity dust cup that easily empties with the push of a button and a 25-foot cord. This unit measures 45 by 12 by 10 inches (HxWxD) and its removable canister measures 15 by 6 inches; it weighs just 11 pounds. It comes with 3 replacement filters and is backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
