At first, I was impressed with this small vacuum. It seemed to work as well as an upright, though extremely loud. But, it’s now a month after buying it, and it no longer works.
For being marketed as a vacuum for cleaning pet hair from upholstery and stairs, this vacuum has no internal protection against said hair. When I was using it one day, it stopped picking up anything. I looked at the brush, and it was not turning, though the vacuum was on. Upon turning it off, I learned that cat hair had built up around one of the bearings on the edge of the brush and was preventing it from moving. Not only that, but the belt had made enough heat from friction that the metal “gear” burned a hole in the front plastic, and the belt no longer has enough tension to turn the brush.
I could find no stores in my town or online that carry belts for this vacuum, and, despite being advertised as having a 3-year warranty, the company seems to have no website or contact information online.
I even tried a belt meant for a handheld Dirt Devil, but it only works for about ten seconds before coming off.
Stay away from this vacuum; spend twice as much and get something that will last.
If there were a market for disposable vacuum cleaners, this would be the perfect product. It is powerful, but not designed for longevity. Starting the day I took it out of the box, it regularly overheated after several minutes’ use and switched itself off, unusable for at least an hour while it cooled. The manufacturer even mentions this in the owner’s manual, as though it’s a feature. The Shark consistently clogged with pet fur because the opening in the dust receptacle is too narrow, leaving the opening packed with debris while the majority of the receptacle is empty. Finally, it died completely after six disappointing months. There’s a reason this is one of the cheapest hand vacuums–it’s low quality, amateur engineering and won’t last. If you need something more, look elsewhere.
Reading the pros and cons on other hand vacs, I was concerned that there wasn’t any hand vac on the market that would do the job well. I could not find any reviews on this model – it must be newer – and was concerned by the negatives I read on other Euro-Pro machines. I chose to take a chance and try it.
Well I was pleasantly suprised. This small v1510 Euro-Pro machine kicks [...] It has very strong suction both when used on carpet, as well as using the detachable hose and crevice tools. It is right sized and not too heavy – it’s very comfortable to use. Does a fantastic job getting into corners too.
I got this because vacuuming carpeted stairs was such a chore – now it’s a breeze. The v1510 picks up everything from fine dust to the dog hair my Norwegian Elkhound sheds constantly. (Pet owners this is the one for you!)
The only negative aspect I could find is that it is loud – but I can place up with some noise considering how well it performs.
Bonus: The unit comes with a three year warranty – 3years !
This is an brilliant vaccuum when it can be used. We have used our mainly for our stairs where using an upright was next to impossible. It picks up very well. We have had the belt break in it after only about three months of use. We have not been able to locate a replacement belt anywhere for it. The website for the company doesn’t even offer a replacement. The manual doesn’t even show it as a component. So be prepared for the same struggle that we are dealing with!!!
I must admit, I am very impressed with the performance of this littl vacuum. I am the the owner of two cats, and any cat owner can tell you it is a chore getting up cat hair from the carpet and furniture no matter how much you brush your pets. This small machine got up all the pet hair from my furniture and carpet, I am very please. Although there are three draw backs to the machine. It is very loud, the canister could be much larger to hold more debris and the band for the rotating brush is very expensive from Shark and hard to find. Also when the unit get very hot is automatically shuts off and you MUST wait 45 minutes before the machine can be restarted. As for the bands you can compromise with using the band for the Small Dirt Devil, but because the temperature from the Shark gets very hot, after several usages the band from the Dirt Devil does not maintain its original elastictivity.
