Shark Carpet Sweeper Reviews

With four kids, three cats and a busy life, anything to make life a little neater is welcome!

The Shark sweeper has been a wonderful product for just this purpose. It is obviously not going to do the job of a 'real' vacuum but for those quick pickups in between vacuuming, its perfect! I really have not found many things it will not pick up. I use it in my kitchen and living room on an almost daily basis.

I am actually on my second Shark... my first died after a few years of heavy use. I tried to replace it with another product but in the end, I wound up buying another Shark because the other product...

When I first received this cleaner I wasn't very impressed. My apartment at the time only had area rugs and this thing shredded one of them, so I just used it on the floors. Needless to say when I moved into an apartment with 75% carpeting I was hesitant to use it. When my heavy-duty vacuum broke I had to choice. I LOVED it!!! On actual carpeting this thing was amazing! I haven't used my regular vac since then.

What I like about it:

• Light weight
• Catch tray easy to dump
• No cord to get in the way or limit where you can go
• Can use on floor as well as carpet
• Quieter so it doesn't scare my infant son
• Picks...

For someone whose biggest mess is dropping the powder from a powdered doughnut on the floor or possibly some crumbs, this Shark Carpet Sweeper may work out well.  

If you have pets and kids, I do not recommend this sweeper.  It doesn't pick up pet hair or thick crumbs from cats shedding and kids dropping crumbs everywhere.  

In my experience, it didn't do what it advertised to do.  It is lightweight, electric and has a folding handle.  That much is true.  The cleaning capacity wasn't what it should have been though.  

The battery power is decent.  It will run as long as most people would...

This is wonderful for picking up pet hair.  Even vacuuming with a commerical upright, the Shark will still pick up more dog hair.  The best thing I have found so far for this.  So if you have pets you definetely need a Shark. 

 Once you put the handle together it is there to stay.  Wanted to shorten it for my little granddaugher because she loves it too, but couldn't.  Might have to buy a second and not make the handle grown up sized.  She would love it!

This product is marvelous!!!  I have a lot of hardwood and linoleum floors, and instead of using a broom or a larger sweeper this product is perfect!  I have a dog, two small kids, and both of them are always tracking in dirt.  And since I hate to sweep all the time, this little sweeper is perfect for large or small projects.  I would recommend this to anyone, 10 times over!!

Two years ago I purchased the shark 3 speed sweeper for my summer home, that unfortunately, has been discontinued.  I loved it.  This year I purchased the two speed sweeper for my permanent home.  It is horrible compared to the three speed.  It dumps back on the floor almost as much as it picks up.  I would not recommend, and hope Shark brings back it's 3 speed sweeper. 

The infomercial for this product made it seem so wonderful. I was happy with it for about 3 weeks. But the vacuum can't hold a good enough charge to vacuum the whole house anymore (and I have a fairly small home). Not pleased with this product anymore. And still need to use my other vacuum to still pick up messes!
