"Convenient but wholly inadequate suction" 2010-01-25
By RJ (WA)
It's light, it's easy to use, it's easy to empty- but that's where the good news ends. This seems to be a problem with battery operated units in general, but the suction on this thing, well, sucks.

Fine if you have virtually nothing to vacuum, but that's not my house. I have crumbs and sand and so on tracked in everywhere by two darling children, and you have to move this unit slowly and repeatedly over soiled areas or they'll remain dirty.

We have a corded vac that it virtually broken that does a better job.

"Suck It Up" 2010-01-24
By Carol in GA (GA)
This Hoover Platinum Cordless Stick Vacuum works as advertised. It can really suck it up! I have never seen a vacuum get the edges like this one. It's great in the kitchen because it gets right to the edge under the cabinets! If you can ever get excited over a vacuum cleaner, this is the one. Works on all floors and the adjustment from bare floor to carpet is near the top of the handle and sooooooooooo convenient. Love it!

"Pricey but really good" 2010-01-24
By Happy Mom (Thompson, CT USA)
I spent hours between several websites researching cordless stick vacs as I've already had two and didn't want to waste money again. I've only have this one a couple of weeks but so far it's great. It's very easy to use. I have no issues with the battery life, it does wear down more quickly if you use the brush but I can do almost 1000 sq feet of smooth floor plus a couple of area rugs with the brush on with no problem on one battery charge. I love that it charges so quickly, you don't loose suction as the battery wears down, and it stands on its own, no stand, which means it can go in a closet. Suction is great, picks up crumbs, cat fur, sand with no problem. You do need to use the brush on area rugs, it even picks up cat fur on the regular carpet using the brush - old stick vac couldn't touch that. So far it's great, I hope it lasts!

"An Incredible Lightweight Vacuum" 2010-01-22
By L. Prevost (Chicago, IL)
Bought this to use on new hardwood and laminate floors on the uppper level of our home instead of dragging the old Electrolux out and plugging in, moving to the next room, plugging in, and so on. This little thing works much better than expected. It's powerful, it's light, it's very manueverable and it gets under the bed with ease. All with no cords. The battery has been lasting for three to four cleanings of the entire upper floor, 3 bedrooms, living room, dining room and kitchen without going dead. The LED indicator gets down to 1 bar and it's time to recharge. I bought an extra battery for this but I'm beginning to think that was a waste of money as we have yet to run out in the middle of vacuuming. Even for those one off quickie jobs to pick up a mess from crumbs or bird seed, feathers or whatever.

It's pricey but Amazon had it lower than anyone else so if you're looking for a deal look no further.

"Best cordless Vac Ever!" 2010-01-21
By K. Smith (Central Ca)
No more searching, this is it! I must say I am addicted to vaccums and when I bought my house a year and a half ago, my old vaccum didn't work on my new hardwood floors. I first tried a canister vaccum by Hoover and didn't like it at all. It was bulky and too many pieces to lug around, it also didn't have the suction I was expecting to see with a Hoover. I have hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, dining room and hallway. Before my Hoover cordless I would manually wipe the floors with a microfiber duster. I would wipe everything into a pile and vaccum it up with the Shark. Once I saw the video of the Cordless Hoover I had to have it. So I bought the vaccum and a back up battery. It works perfect! And I can't believe how much is sucks up. My house is animal and kid free and I pick up dust almost everyday with this vaccum. If you buy this vaccum just make sure you buy a back up battery. It's well worth the money!

"Black & Decker PHV1800CB 18-Volt Pivoting-Nose Cordless Energy-Star Handheld Vacuum Cleaner" 2010-01-24
By D. Veenendaal (Sun Prairie, WI United States)
I needed a small vacuum to use near my model train set-up. After looking at many reviews I decided to give this one a try. I am not disappointed. It is powerful, easy to clean out, and with its pivoting nose design, allows me to get to every little bit of debris I want to remove from the train table. An added feature, a thin extension from the nose nozzle, allows getting into tight places with some ease. Despite being a bit loud, I do not hesitate to recommend this device for small clean-up projects in a workshop or anywhere else around the house.

By J. Lewis
Works pretty well, powerful, easy to use. Use to suck up cat hair from around my laptop, out of DVD slot. Only wish they would design it so vacuum nozzle tips could remain on vacuum in its charging stand. Must remove any tips to allow charging, a minor hassle.

Have had this for about a month and I love it. Very powerful - used it to pickup the pine needles from our Christmas Tree (which my upright couldn't do). I use it for just about everything. 2 power settings are great, easy to empty.

"This Vacuum Really Sucks and that great in this instance" 2010-01-18
By Guy M. Wooster
Ever buy a product and out of the box it seems right from the start. Well if you have not, then you might want to try this baby. Yes, it is an upright and maybe a bit, just a bit on the heavy side, but the suction that this baby, or maybe I should say tiger produces is absolutely amazing. I really think this is because of the great design of keeping the suction pipeline as straight as possible till is gets to the bag, and also coupling that with a powerful motor and great rotating brush. It all combines for great pickup and powerful cleaning. The combination of a well designed filter bag and hepa filtration system also keeps much of the excess dust/allergens down while operating the vacuum. Eureka has done its homework on this upright including the powered hand tool which works good in doing stairs and taking hair off of furniture. It would probably work fine on car carpet detailing, but I have not tried it there yet. Filter bags and belts are available at many locations and at reasonable prices. Many of the criticism of this machine are not deserved and are most likely caused by not reading the manual and understanding how the machine functions and also by not keeping the machine cleaned and the filters changed when necessary. In simple words, lazy people don't usually get good results when they refuse to maintain the very machine that is responsible for doing the cleaning. Change filter bags earlier, not later than recommended, clear debris if the suction is decreased, change or blow out the hepa filter frequently and watch for unusual wear on the belt. This vacuum usual retails around $200 but I was able to pick it up for $133.00 with free shipping. After vacuuming the carpets about three times I have noticed how much cleaner they appear and how much more the nap of the carpet seems to stand up. If you are use to just running the heck out of a machine without periodic service and care then no vacuum will last or work for you. Take care of it, do what the instructions say, and it will be a fantastic cleaner for you. I give this vacuum 6 stars out of five because it works way better than it should. Now, for the rest of the story. I am 67 years old and my wife still works full time and I am retired. I do most if not all of the vacuuming and do the entire house about 3 times a week. With this vacuum, I actually enjoy using the machine. Thanks Eureka for a fine product.

"Heavy, difficult to use, great suction" 2010-01-16
By L. Larson (Cupertino, CA, USA)
Bought this vac after reading reviews and checking Consumer Reports site. The suction is terrific and it seems to be built by the Romans. It would likely be very suitable for a large house with thick wall to wall carpet. However, my house has hardwood floors with fringed area rugs. The vacuum is so powerful that you have to be very careful around rug fringe and it's so heavy that it's very tiring to use on hardwood floors (although it offers this setting). The foot pedal is extremely stiff which is very annoying, and the cord fastener (which pins down the last bit of cord when you wind it up for storage) is so stiff that it's unusable. I'm searching for something more suitable for my house.

"Consumer Reports' Reviews don't mean much..." 2010-01-14
By Flex (CT, USA)
The vacuum has good power, actually more than needed. Has a cheap shiny look. I was disappointed that the brush does not always stop when using the paw (upholstery cleaner) or the 'bare floor' setting . Sometimes it will stop and then, in the middle, start rotating. That is what bothered me the most because it can ruin an expensive rug if that is where it was 'parked, while doing the upholstery. Called Eureka, but they were clueless. Returned it to Amazon for a refund-they were pretty good about it. I am surprised how Consumer Reports could give it such high marks. As a result, have canceled my subscription to that magazine.

"Can't wait until this breaksdown (fully) so I can buy a different vacuum" 2010-01-08
By Mary (Southeastern Wisconsin)
I bought this vacuum based on Consumer Reports' good review. I disagree, however. The foot peddle release part broke off after two uses so the unit stays up but falls down easily, and if it falls down on your foot, ouch. This vacuum is very heavy and clunky and it feels awkward when in use. Definitely not good for stairs. It's also hard to push on carpet when it's not on. Other plastic pieces have broke including the tube so now it doesn't stay in it's designated spot. The hose doesn't stay in it's designatd spot either and if it's not getting tangled with the cord, it's dragging on the ground. You also have to apply a lot of pressure to change the lever at the base which allows you to switch between carpet and bare floor. And above all that, it doesn't pick-up well on bare floors. I agree with another reviewer who said this is not a vacuum you would want to buy for grandma - definitely not. I'm a fairly strong, young woman and I have a difficult time with it. It's not for children either and this is a great way for them to get out of doing this chore. I cannot believe all the good reviews and I will think twice next time I consider a Consumer Reports review, i.e., do additional research such as check Amazon's reviews. This is a terrible product and I highly doubt I'll ever buy another Eureka.

"Disappointing performance" 2010-01-03
By C. D. Margeson (Virginia)
I bought this vacuum about 18 months ago and have been unhappy with it since I purchased it. It is big, heavy and clunky. The foot pedal for on and off is not easy to operate. I have kept it because I have a cleaning service do most of my cleaning but recently had guests and needed to use it between service. It simply does not help me in getting carpets free of dog hair and dust. I am in the market to buy another long before I had hoped it would be needed.

"Started OK then......." 2010-01-20

Bought 6 months ago, worked fine no problems. Fast forward 6 months and the thing just doesn't pick up anymore. You have to go over everything numerous times. What a hassle. And no, it's not worn out belts, dirty filters, filled canisters, it just doesn't work. Disappointing. Then again what can you expect for $70.

This is a great vacuum! Easy to lift up stairs. I really needed a new vacuum the old one just didn't suck up the dirt,plus I had three dogs. I was amazed at how dirty my carpets where.

"Good deal; good vacuum." 2010-01-16
By L. Thompson (Houston, TX)
Our old vacuum recently died on us so we decided to hit the store to see what sort of replacement we could get. Granted we didn't actually buy this at Amazon, but we did use Amazon.com to check out reviews while we were in the store (Droid + Amazon.com app wins!). This vacuum was the best deal hands-down, but the problem always seems to be that you get what you pay for. There was a woman and her mom at the store next to us and thanks to the app we steered them away from a really crummy "other brand".

Got the thing home and put it together. It was a quick process with only one screw to tighten. I checked all the components out and they look like they're made of quality materials, including the hose which can be a pain in the neck if you use the wand attachments. So I put it together and this thing is solid! It's heavy, but once you start wheeling it around it's not so bad. The directions were clear, concise, and I love that there's a section on how to fix it should something break. Even a non-handy person like me could probably fix a broken belt or clogged filter. Speaking of filters, there are three on this thing and they all look like they're built to last. Well, built to last the 6 months Bissell recommends you replace them at.

After I got it all set to try out, I gave it a preliminary whirl around the living room. Now don't get me wrong, I don't like vacuuming, but it was actually fairly enjoyable. We're the kind of family that's...well, messy. There's only two adults and two cats, but we're both clumsy and the cats like to shed everywhere. So I fired her up and the first lap was amazing. I pulled the dirt cup out and that thing was pretty full already! We don't vacuum a ton, but enough that I thought our floors were pretty clean. Apparently not and I had the proof in my hand. I emptied that out and cleaned out the filters (which if you have a lot of pet fur, you need to do every time otherwise the filters get clogged easily).

Then I decided to give the attachments a try. They're all easy to put together and the TurboBrush thing pulled out cat hair I didn't even know was IN our couch. Definite and large thumbs up from me there. The crevice tool seems okay, not sure if we'll use it that much since we don't really have a big house to try it in or stairs. The hose is great - really stretchy, but I wish it was a little longer. Maybe it will pull around easier once it's been in use for awhile.

Once I was done I pulled main filter (under the dirt cup) out and washed it, piece of cake! Everything came apart and went together really easily and I like that because it means the next time I fire the vacuum up I'll be taken care of.

The only recommendation I have is not to set the vacuum on anything but the floor if you clean the couch. The instructions weren't lying when they said those brushes are still spinning even when the attachments are going. My couch will never be quite the same, but lesson learned!

All in all I would definitely buy this vacuum again and recommend others to do it as well!

"Could have been better" 2010-01-14
By B. Moskov (usa)
The vacuum cleaner broke within the first 5 minutes of cleaning. It started to smoke and smell like burned rubber. Turned out it broke the belt. I called bissell right away and they were very nice and sent me 2 replacement belts free of charge overnight. The other issue is that once I vacuum the machine gets extremely dusty and dirty on the outside. Perhaps because the connections do not fit too well. The hose is very short and once I started using it it popped out and threw dust all over the vacuum. Up to now it has been used twice but look like 10 year old vacuum. It is very noisy too. Despite all this said I am keeping it, because it shows that it picks up the dirt of the carpet. Perhaps a lot of these issues are due to the fact that I vacuumed a brand new carpet and something like a white dust was coming out of it. I had to stop the vacuum and throw away the dust every few minutes. It was amazing how much it picked up. we will see how it handles in the future but as I mentioned above Bissell customer service is great and the vacuum has a warranty so I am not worried.

"4.5 out of 5 stars" 2010-01-21
By Satine27
I got this vacuum to replace my bagless. I hated emptying the container and getting dust everywhere. Not to mention having to clean the filters. None of that with this vacuum! I love this vacuum, although it does have a few flaws:

Pros:

THE SUCTION! It is just awesome. I put it on the lowest setting (as recommended in the instructions) and when I turned it on, the vacuum literally took off! I was holding the handle and had to catch up to the vacuum because it seemed self propelled! Very impressed! It's nice that I can now feel comfortable letting my 5 month old play on the floor without having to first put a blanket down.

The tools are easily accessible and easy to use. The suction isn't sacrificed when using the tools either. When I was vacuuming out my sofa and loveseat, it felt like I was using one of those car wash vacuums (the good, strong ones). I was very impressed with this as well.

The vacuum is not too heavy. Granted, it's not an 8lb Oreck, but it's not a 40lb monster either. I had no problem carrying it and found that it weighed pretty much the same as my previous bagless.

No dusty smell when vacuuming. I used to think that the smell that showed up when I turned on a vacuum was just how vacuums were supposed to smell. I didn't know that I was actually smelling (and breathing in!) the dust and other nastiness that my vacuum was blowing back into the air. With this vacuum, there's no smell!

Cons:

The cord is just a bit short. Not too bad, but another 5ft would have been perfect.

No full bag indicator. You have to do the "squish test"

Hose is a bit short, didn't seem to stretch much.

There are also a couple things to mention, but I wouldn't really list them as a con. The hook to secure the cord while vacuuming isn't well made as the cord can't fit in very well. I damaged the outer part of my cord trying to force it in, so I wouldn't recommend using it. The vacuum also does not have a light, as shown in the picture (at least the one I got didn't), but this doesn't bother me. I never really understood what the light was for anyway. Doesn't everyone usually turn the light on when they vacuum anyway? I'm not sure if this would be a bad thing to some (I think it' a good thing), but I've used the vacuum about 10 times (give or take) and the bag is FULL. I think this is an indicator of how awful my bagless was. The bag isn't small or anything, it just pulled up a ton of stuff my bagless missed. I've purchased some new bags and once they are in, I will see how long those last. I'm not sure if I'd be upset if those filled up fast though, as that just means that much stuff is off my floor and once again would be an indicator of how awesome this vacuum is.

All in all, I would highly recommend this vacuum. The cons of this vacuum are easily outweighed by its cleaning power alone. I will never buy a bagless vacuum again and hope to have this vacuum for years to come.

"it's no Windtunnel, and it's ear-piercing" 2010-01-21
By Winifred (Chicago)
I bought this three years ago so that we wouldn't need to drag our excellent but heavy Windtunnel up the steps. I have used it a total of maybe 20 times. It is fine on the rugs, but not nearly as good on bare floors as the Windtunnel. The biggest problem is that it emits a high-pitched whine under the usual vacuum noise. Both my husband and I find it painful to listen to. We have now relegated it to the basement, for very occasional use.

"No suction vacuum" 2007-03-07
By S. Lin
This vacuum did NOT suck up anything. I bought it to use on our hardwood floors to pick up dog hair and it left a track of hair and basically just pushed it around from place to place. The only thing that worked well was that it got very close to the edges of our walls, I think that's why it gets one star, rather than none.

"Horrible product, deplorable service" 2006-04-18
By T. Low (Calgary, AB, Canada)
Don't waste your money. I have a model very similar to this, except it's sold in Canada, it's purple, and it does not say Shark on it. It's made by Euro Pro and is otherwise identical.

Within a month the rotating brush clogged with hair and jamme - I'd used it twice. I stopped the vacuum right away to clear it, but it was too late. The gear on the side of the brush had overheated in seconds and broke in pieces, rending that attachment useless.

I planned to deal with customer service on this issue, but was already very unhappy with them because of an order I'd placed for replacement filters. They sell the product in Canada, but you can only order filters from the US. I placed an order and waited ... and waited. I noticed they had charged my credit card, and then refunded it 2 weeks later. I'd received no notice of a cancelled order. Just my luck, they charged me when the exchange rate was higher, so my refund was less than my original purchase. I called to ask why I'd been refunded and the rep was useless and rude. She said she'd just place the order again. I wanted to know why the first order was cancelled before ordering again, and she ignored me and offered to re-order. I asked again what happened the first time, and she said that obviously I was at fault and clearly they had been mailed out and returned as I had not been home to receive them. I pointed out that I'd recieved no notice of shipping, no parcel notice from my post office, and no notice of return, and asked if her files showed any delivery attempts or noted a returned order. She ignored me and offered to reorder in an exasperated tone. I asked again, and she checked the file (you'd think I'd have been asking her to jump through a flaming hoop), said there was no inoformation about a package ever shipping or being returned, but refused to explain why she'd insisted this was so. I asked again why they had been cancelled and she said she would re-order them. I said I did not want to re-order until I knew what the problem had been, and wanted to know if the items were even in stock. She said she had no idea of they were in stock, but if I would just reorder them I'd find out if they arrived a few weeks later (I'm serious, she said this). Again, I asked to know why the first order had been refunded and noted that I'd lost money on it, and that they should not have taken my money in the first place if they did not have the items. She said again, "look, I can just order them again. This went on for some time and finally I said "look, I'm asking you a direct question and I'd appreciate if you would stop ignoring me and at least attempt to find out." She finally replied, "look, I don't know, but I can reorder them, okay? You don't need any more information on that order."

I was so ticked, but wanted to have some spare filters so I did place the order and gave up in disgust. For the next six months I got a monthly card in the mail saying they were out of stock. The canadian postage label covered any information about who the cards were from, so for the first few months I could not figure out who was sending them (they just said "a product you have ordered is not available and will be sent when new stock arrives in a few days." Brilliant.)

Six months later I finally got my filters. These are a standard item for a model that is in current production.

Their rep has been so useless and so rude that I decided it was not worth getting service for the item (oh, you have to ship it back to the US to get it fixed).

This model has lousy suction, and spits up half of what is does pick up when you turn it off (shut if off over your garbage pail). The filters get clogged fast, and tons of dust seeps out around the seams. I use it to pick up small grain cat little from my carpet and it yacks it all back up if I tip it at all. It loses suction after picking up only a tiny amount of dust, even with a clean filter. The front can be very hard to get latched back on after you empty it.

It's a very poor quality product, but their customer service is even worse. I got the feeling that the person I spoke to just wanted me off the phone, though I began by being very polite to her.

I'll never buy a EuroPro product again. I don't think I just got a faulty model, because all aspects of the product are bad quality. Also, because the service is so poor, you can't rely on any assistance if the model breaks. It's too risky.

I have a Bissel carpet cleaner that is head and shoulders above the quality of any other vacuum product I've owned. All of the little details are superior. Buy Bissel if you can.

"Why didn't I buy the Dirt Devil?" 2005-09-05
By Janet Asbury (Chicago, IL)
I bought this item and was satisfied with it for the first 100 days or so until it completely stopped working. Euro Pro support is HORRIBLE. It took them 6 weeks from the date I called them to send me a new adapter; my unit still did not work with the new adapter. Then they told me they could fix it, but would charge me shipping and handling both ways. I am just going to throw it out and buy the Dirt Devil I should have bought in the first place. I had one that I bought used and worked for years.

This product works great for cleaning up after my children and dog. I use it to clean up the crumbs after the children eat and to clean up the dog hair(I have a long haired daschund). You do have to empty it out after every use, but other than that I think this hand vac works wonderfully.

"Useless" 2004-08-10
By Aidan (ma)
The price seemed right, but the amount I paid for this (on sale) was wayyyy too much. My model literally couldn't pick up the little peices of paper from a hole-puncher on my desk (or on my carpet). When I first used the carpet sweeper attatchment I thought it was working but it turned out that all the dirt was just getting picked up in the brush (that is, until the brush was full). The manual said it would work better after a few charges but I've put some serious socket/ carpet time into this vacuum with no results. Don't waste your money.
