This is a good sweeper for touchup sweeping.We had the interior of our house redone recently and this is great for touchup vaccumming when dragging the big vac out isnt neccessary.We have both carpeted and bare floors and this works good on all of them.
The very first time I used it it got caught on the corner of a plastic runner, then started making an awful noise. My husband took it apart and the gear that runs the little circular edging brush on the corner of the machine had two teeth broken out. In my opinion for something that cost this much shouldn't have a plastic gear in it. I've had 2 of these machines before and love them, I guess it was just an unfortunate incident.
I got the V1950SP for Christmas. It picks up nearly everything on our carpet, tile, and linoleum. I followed the instructions and charged it the required 20 hours before the first use. It is still running after about 30 minutes of use on the first charge, with no sign of running down. It isn't flimsy, it is very sturdy. It is actually better at cleaning debris off of the surface of the carpet than the vacuum cleaner. Again, like others have said, it is for surface sweeping, not deep cleaning, so it isn't a substitute for a vacuum cleaner. It also isn't a substitute for a broom, since it won't do corners. It is a good "freshen up" device for everyday tidying rather than a heavy duty device for weekly deep cleaning. It is perfect for keeping heavy traffic areas tidy.We have a pet rabbit, so shavings, hay, (and worse) are frequently falling on the area rug under the cage. The vacuum does not work very well in this situation, and quite often gets plugged up by the longer straws of hay. The Shark, however, it the perfect solution for keeping this area clean.As for the dust bunny issue others have mentioned, the Shark does sometimes require two passes to get the bunnies, but then again so does just about everything else.I highly recommend the V1950SP. Keep in mind, please, that this is a tidying device rather than a heavy-duty cleaning device.
This is one of these over hyped infomercial products on TV lately. I bought it immediately after I saw the infomercial, thinking that it would be perfect for light duty floor cleaning around the house, either carpet or hard floor.First the good news: the folding handle, light weight, cordless, easy to dump collected trash, all these are true. It is really easy to take it around the house to collect trash on the floor (but not the dust). Now the bad news: since it is not a vacuum, it's only a sweeper, it does not really pick up dust on hardwood floor. I can understand that. But this is exactly what caused one of the problems: it leaves patches and streaks of dust all over my medium colored hardwood floor. Apparently, it's only good to pick up the larger pieces of trash spills. After that, you would still need to mop or vacuum the dust left out by the Shark. But if this is the case, why don't I just mop/vacuum in the first place to clean the floor in just one step, instead of 2 steps? And since it's not a vacuum, somehow the brush action creates static inside its plastic housing which caused dust to be attracted all over the inside of the transparent plastic housing. After the 1st use, my wife thought the Shark had gotten so dirty and tried to clean it but only to find that the dust were all inside the Shark housing and are hard to reach. So the Shark looked dirty since day one and stayed that way.The Shark doesn't work well on carpet either. Since it's only a sweeper it doesn't deep clean thick carpets. It doesn't clean short weave thin carpets well either, especially with those directionally weaved, the Shark simply refused to glide over the carpet in certain direction. And due to it's light weight, it just "flies" through the uneven surface of those pattern weaved carpet without picking up the small pieces of trash trapped. Overall, I found the Shark is of very limited use to us, if any.
This sweeper is not a substitute for a vacuum cleaner, but it is a fantastic complement to a vacuum. Half the floors in our house are carpeted and the other half are hardwood or tile - I use the regular vacuum for the carpeted areas, but I use the Shark for the hardwood floors, kitchen, and laundry room areas. On the hard surfaces, the Shark is great at picking up dead bugs, bits of cat kibble, cat litter, bits of food, and other visible dirt and particles. I run it over low-pile throw rugs on the higher speed setting and it does okay (throw rugs are always a pain, even with vacuums). I don't really use it on carpets because it's less effective on them. The fact that it's lightweight and cordless means I'm much more likely to pull it out and run it around a couple of times a week in high-traffic areas, whereas we only vacuum on the weekend. I like the ergonomics - I've never actually used the hinge in the long handle because I'm able to get under furniture just fine with it straight. The head is very nicely articulated - I can get into and under a lot of tight spaces without having to lift up the sweeper. I agree with LawyerMom that having the rotator brush on both sides, rather than just on the right side, would have been nice, but it's not a big deal. I also agree that the trick to using it most effectively is to push back and forth relatively slowly so that the beater brush can sweep debris in; remember that there is no suction as with a vacuum.Several people have commented that the battery life is poor - that has not been my experience. I urge buyers to READ THE DIRECTIONS when you first charge the sweeper and use it - there are specific directions about the first charge, and usage (use until battery discharges, don't store it plugged in, etc.). Rechargable batteries can be finicky, so following the directions will lead to longer battery life. I can sweep 1500 sq. ft. at least twice on a single charge at low power, with a few minutes of high speed thrown in. I have had it for several months now and have no complaints.
Cordless shark vx3 floor cleaner combines the power of a vacuum with the convenience and maneuverability of a broom. Pick up heavy-duty messes including food, glass, nails, cat litter and more. Folding "backsaver" handle lets you reach under furniture without bending over. Effective on vinyl, tile, hardwood (won't scratch), and carpeted floors. Side brush works along walls, dirt collects in a large capacity "no touch" removable tray. Weighs only four pounds and is ultra quiet. Included rechargeable battery lasts up to 50-minute - clean your whole house in a single charge.
