Shark Limited Edition Lightweight Bagless Upright Vacuum

by not a Shark/euro-pro fan
(Garbage State)

Why Shark Limited Edition? did they make only 10,000,000 of this model?

purchased from bloodbathandbeyond, good suction while the hepa filter is brand new, then as the filter got clogged up the manual says it's washable, a certain amount of times before it needs to be replaces.

i washed it after every few uses, then the vac would loose suction. the plastic area around the motor gets very hot. i can understand why so many complaints about shut off. the motor has overheat sensor. mine did not have this problem until after about a year and a half.

the bin would get loose from day one, so i had to exchange for another vac. same happened with the new one.

needs to be emptied after every room, and i had 2 small rooms wall to wall carpet. good suction only when empty and clean and hepa filter is not clogged up. i had to wash the bin and filters after every use. very messy and impossible to get the dust off the parts without creating a messy dust cloud.

i couldn't take anymore of this POS, started shutting off constantly after a few minutes, so i threw it in the garbage.

this shark is crap and not recommended. i bet shark/euro-pro/fantom executives or their housekeepers don't use their products in their homes.

The worst EVER!!
by: Anonymous

The size is perfect, but it over heats within 5 to 7 minutes! The accordian hose is so long, dirt has to travel so far to reach the dirt container. The hose clogs easily. Too bad it's a piece of garbage. It is very cute and easy to manuver around.....it just doesn't work!!!

I love this vacuum

I love this vacuum and am sad that they are no longer making this model. It was perfect for my hardwood floors and picked up cat litter everyday for 2 years now. It is still going strong.

Not a good buy at all.

within a few months of owning this vacuum, it started overheating and shutting off prematurely after vacuuming a small space. this product is quite unfortunate. save the $80 and put it towards a better product.

Don't buy this vacuum

I had the same exact comments as the previous reviewers, the suction gets lost within a year. You have to empty the dust container after every room and it was just a total mess. The suction got lost permanently after a year and I tried to fix but to no avail, threw in the garbage. Not sure if this is just this model or all shark models.
