Shark Bagless Cyclonic Handheld Vacuum Cleaner with Turbo Brush, V900TB Reviews By Customers

This is my 2nd Euro-Pro Shark vacuum and I love it. Why? Very powerful for a light weight vacuum, it has great suction power, great for picking-up animal hair (and human too!), the attachments work fine and not too fussy to put on or take off (I think it comes with too much attachments). It makes vacuuming easy and fast, especially for daily touch-ups. Storage is not a problem as this little light weight guy fits almost anywhere. Like other Shark handheld vacuums, you have to clean the filter after vacuuming. This vacuum comes with a HEPA filter with a filter ring attached to it- a light weight fabric with Velcro closure, which you have to remove before washing the HEPA filter. Washing it, just rinse under luke warm water, tap and let it dry.

The down side of this vacuum, it is noisy..... very loud, actually sounds like a floor sanding machine.[Important] You HAVE to hold it firmly before turning it on as it might fall. It also emits a rubbery smell due to the power it has, but it goes away after several usage. Replacing the filter maybe difficult as I haven't come across one on Amazon as yet.

However, this vacuum (corded) is better than the other Shark rechargeable handheld vacuums as it will last and do not need recharging.

Overrated - Connie1998 -
Received this product as a gift and am very disappointed with it. I have hardwood floors so I basically use it to clean the furniture and clean area rugs in the house. Although it does have good suction power and a long cord, it is very loud and gets very hot after only seconds of use. It constantly overheats and shuts itself off leaving me having to wait hours until it cools down for use again. Emptying out the bag after use is a bit difficult and I usually have to use an old toothbrush to scrape off the dust. Good thing I didn't have to pay for this!

Dangerous, Don't Buy - Dont_buy_it -
We had this vacuum for about 3 weeks until it had an internal problem and it quit working. It started sparking near the motor and then a bright light and that was the end of it. We hardly used it and when we did it was only for a few minutes. What a waste of money, thanks for the piece of junk.

Metro Vacuum VM4BS500 Professional Stainless Steel 120V, 500-Watt High Performance Hand Vac Reviews By Customers

I bought this vacuum to replace my Dirt Devil. I am a professional auto detailer and wanted something powerful, yet small. I got tired of lugging around the house sized canister. The battery rechargable vacuums on the market don't have enough power for my needs. I was quite surprised to find that it actually cleaned the interior of the car with vigor! Compact and easy to use, sturdy as well. Love the stainless steel design.

The only drawback for me is that the steel body gets hot to the touch after being on for a bit. if you are not using it for work and just picking up a little mess in the house or doing the stairs, this probably won't be an issue. Also, I will have to empty the bag more on such a small vacuum. I plan to buy the reusable cloth bag to save money on purchasing throwaway bags. Moreover, I am purchasing the shoulder strap Metro Vac sells on their web site to solve the problem of the vacuum body getting hot to my touch. That, along with the flexible hose, will keep me from having to constantly touch the vacuum while using. These issues don't keep me from giving it 5 stars or from recommending this product to others. On top of all the good stuff, it is made in the U.S.A!

metro vac good item, but warning... - mrs. jasperson -
It is nice looking sturdy and light-weight metal, has lots of suction power, the cord is long (I still have to add another extension to be able to reach the entire car), it is not rechargeable, does not plug into your car, and the attachments come off too easily. It makes me nervous vacuuming because I know the attachments are going to pop off no matter how hard I push them on to the nozzle - it drives me bonkers once I get going - and over the noise (it's very loud) one can hear my annoyance. I have duct tape holding the attachments on. It heats up quickly and limits the usage time, as I am worried the motor will strain and burn out. Also you must buy a hose separately (if you feel you need it) and the small bags must also be purchased (but it comes with two) however bags are more hygienic. I am generally pleased with this little vac (it is moderately powerful) and I also use it to clean lint traps, pet hair, drapes and mattresses. Except for the #@*#ing attachments coming off it is good, but I would have priced it more fairly at not .

Good but has some issues - E. David - Los Angeles
I bought this vac mainly to use on the interior of my car but unfortunately it's plagued with a some issues:

1. The power cord is so short as to be useless. So plan on always keeping an extension cord hooked up to it.
2. It is very awkward to hold by it's handle in tight places like the floor of your car, under seats, etc, so I end up just holding it by it's body... which is not ideal.
3. The main, wide attachment does not stay on tight and is constantly falling off the vacuum... extremely annoying.
4. The air exhausting out of the back of the vacuum is so strong you wonder if the vacuuming you're doing is effective at all or if you're just creating a typhoon. ( I realize this is the result of the unit's strong motor and suction but with the vac being so compact, there's no way to direct the outgoing airflow in a different direction.)

It does have a couple redeeming qualities though... it seems very sturdy. And it looks cool!

But if you are buying a vac for car care you might want to explore some other options.

Euro-Pro SV769 Shark 16-4/5-Volt Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner Reviews By Customers

I purchased the Shark vacuum in May based on a recommendation I got from another Shark user. I liked that it was cordless, very powerful and came with a carpet attachment. I have mostly wood floors, but with two cats I needed something that could get pet fur off of the rugs/furniture. I'd say if you are planning on using this vacuum on mostly hard floors it's a good buy. It has decent battery life (assuming you follow the instructions and charge it for 20 hours prior to use and let it completely discharge before plugging it in) and it has very powerful suction. It's loud (loud enough to scare my kitties), but it does a good job on hard surfaces.

The carpet/upholstery attachment was great when I first started using it. It got almost all the cat hair off the couch cushions and seemed to get pretty deep into the carpet. The problem came ~ 2 months after I started using it. The brush stopped spinning, which I assumed was a result of having hair wound around the roller. I took the cover off the attachment and it was actually the drive belt that kept slipping off. I fixed it once, only to have the belt slip ~5 minutes later. I tried fixing it again, but the belt just won't stay on. It could just be that I got a bad attachment, so I won't knock too many stars off.

The Pros:
Good suction
Good battery life (make sure you read the instructions!)
Great small attachment (really helps with corners/edges)

Cons:
Carpet attachment didn't last. It really does nothing for you if the brushes don't spin.

Run and hide - this thing just vaccums your time and money! - Lyrce -
Don't be fooled by the slick look and packaging.
Or the supposed voltage. I followed the instructions to the letter and only once got 5 minutes of power - after that, 30 seconds to not a peep heard. Can you vacuum in 30 seconds or less? And then wait 8 hours for a powerup? Me neither. Have never ever enjoyed returning something so much. Move on .... nothing to see here.

Shark Cordless is terrible - Tech Fan - NY
This is the worst handheld vacuum I have ever had. It looks great in the pictures and the idea of a powerful motor is very appealing. They just forgot that it is supposed to be a vacuum! There are multiple, serious design flaws. First, the nozzle has a rounded opening instead of a rectangular opening. This means it is almost impossible to get it flat on the ground, so it doesn't have strong suction and doesn't pick up much of anything. There are two attachments, a powered brush which spins so slowly it is useless and a reduction nozzle. The brush just knocks dirt around. It was totally ineffective on the carpet, tile or in the car. The reduction nozzle has the same problem as the main nozzle, namely it is round, not flat, so it is very hard to get it properly aligned when using on a flat surface like a counter or the floor. The charging stand is also flawed. It does not hold the vacuum firmly so if you put it in a high traffic area, you are likely to knock the vacuum out of the holder and it will fall and break. Service is in India and though they were very courteous, it is very, very difficult to deal with them due to the scripts they work from and their lack of empowerment.

This product has a great look, but when it comes time to use, it fails miserably. I would never recommend this product to anyone.

Dyson DC31 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner Reviews By Customers

This is my first hand-held vacuum. I always used my regular vacuum with the extenders instead, but this machine makes it so much easier to clean up small spills, crumbs, spider webs, etc. It's light-weight and can get into cramped areas easily. The suction power on this little vacuum is fantastic. The canister is easy to empty; a trigger releases the bottom and the waste falls into your trash can.

It's important to note that this machine has a short run time. It can go for 10 minutes on its lower power setting and 6 minutes on the higher power setting. I have never needed it to last longer than this for any single use, so the time limit has never been an issue for me. If I ever have bigger cleaning jobs to do, I use my Dyson DC25 Animal Ball-Technology Upright Vacuum Cleaner anyway.

Underpowered & Short Batter Live - Dr. R. Lookatch - Bloomington, IN
This is a big clunky and expensive vacuum but I Liked the nmhd battery idea. Fund it lacks vacuum power and the battery dies pretty fast and when it dies, the machine shuts down; no lower power time. I am buying a chorded unit.

Small Jobs - Jeffrey F. Henderson -
This product last only 6-10 minutes on a 3 hour charge. However it does a great job until it needs to be charged up again. The 6-10 minutes is detailed in the instructions not in the item discription.
