Euro-Pro S3202 Shark Steam Mop Deluxe

Best vacuum we've ever owned
We have been using the vacuum for 3-4 months now, and we love it! Our home is 90% hardwood floors and this vacuum is perfect. It is great on stairs, has excellent suction power, and was worth ever penny. No more tugging around our little tank vac or trying to clean the wood floors with our upright. The bag is very easy to clean and the filter seems to trap every last spec of dust. I'm not sure how well this would perform on deep carpet, but we use it on some low pile floor mats and it does great. The bottom line is after owning this we don't want any other vacuum.

This vaccum sucks! And I mean that in a good way.
Strengths:
1. Best suction even among other Dyson models due to new Level 3 Root Cyclone.
2. Excellent build quality. Each piece is not an after-thought.
3. Best design - shape, color, material and operation.

Weaknesses:
1. Price - but you do pay for the technology it has to offer.
2. Heavy! Well at least we know this will last for years and years.
3. The cones gets clogged from fine dirt in time.

Summary: This is arguably one of the best "bagless" household vacuum cleaners money can buy. Dyson's root cyclone technology really does perform. And this latest Level 3 Root Cyclone trumps even its other models.

If you're serious about having a real clean environment, this is THE product to buy. I just moved into an apartment a month ago and they replaced the carpets in most of the area and steam cleaned the others that they deemed need not be replaced. I used the vacuum in both and I can tell you that steam cleaning old carpets may get rid of surface dirt and stains, but Dyson is your friend if you want to suck out most (if not all) the dirt hidden below the surface. I could not believe how much dust it was picking up in such a small area. The bin filled up pretty fast so I was on to round 2 in the same patch of rug. This time it was picking up very find dust. Dust that may have been stuck for years and was never sucked out from other vacuum systems. Round 3 time and you will smile when you realize there is nothing else that's being collected in the bin. As for the newly installed carpets, I could only collect find dust until no more could be collected.

Unlike other vacuums in the market, this is one heck of a quiet vacuum in a relative way. Of course it's still noisy, but as with other brands this won't hurt your noise environment. In fact I am able to vacuum even at night with no fear that my neighbors beside and above my unit will hear me.

You're not only paying for the suction technology, you're also paying for the build quality. Each part has quality reflected on it. While the design is modern.

Of course nothing is perfect. This thing is heavy. DO NOT vacuum the stairs while the machine is on the top stair because if this thing falls on you, there will be serious injury and damage.

The quick-draw expandable hose is a good idea. But it's also not as flexible as I would have imagined it to be. It's easy to expand and retract, but the long handle commands that the vacuum is at a distance from where you want to use the telescope handle if you want to operate it comfortably.

Among other bagless vacuums, this is the easiest to dump the contents. But just like all other bagless vacuums, dust will certainly be flying away from the trash unless you have a very deep trash can. Plus the fine holes around the cyclone technology gets clogged from fine dust in time so you will need to clean those tiny holes from time to time if you want the Dyson to perform it's best everytime.

The lifetime Hepa filter is a great addition below. They recommend only washing with water and drying at least 24 hours near a heater/radiator - and they really do mean 24 hours. It's big and thick so it won't dry out quickly. So if you find the need to frequently vacuum the next day, I recommend getting an extra Hepa filter to use.

The motorized brush bar helps pick up stuff from the carpet. This can be turned off for delicate rugs and floors. Just like other vacuums, hair and other long items can be trapped around the brush bar and need to be removed from time to time. It is also belt-driven so this can snap and break especially if inadvertently caught on a loose item. So be careful of this.

Overall, Dyson is a wonderful machine to have and will surely last longer if properly taken care of.
If you are extremely allergic to dust, I believe a better alternative is to go with Oreck XL as it ensures you will not be in contact with the dust particles due to it's ingenious bag design that closes shut when removed.

NOT WHAT I EXPECTED...
WHILE THE BROOM VACUUM HAS STRONG SUCTION, IT'S MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO HANDLE THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. IT'S HEAVY TO BE USED AS A BROOM AND IT'S DIFFICULT TO GET INTO TIGHT SPACES. I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO BUY SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS MORE FLEXIBLE.

Useless for pet hair. :-(
I was really optimistic about the Shark VX3 from the good reviews I'd read on Amazon and other sites about it. Unfortunately it just did not meet my needs. I have two very hairy dogs and hard wood floors in my house. I was hoping to find a cordless that I could just pull out every day or two to keep on top of the hair bunnies. The Shark, however, only pushes and blows the hair around. It only picked up maybe half of it, and the rest is still floating around out there. However, it did pick up my black lab's entire choke collar. And a corner of my rug.


Bottom line: if you like dropping pounds of screws on your floor and pretending you're on an infomercial, this vacuum is for you. If you'd rather pick up normal things like hair, dust, and dirt, don't bother with the Shark.

Only good for carpets
I bought this model to replace a swivel glide I had for over 10 years. Disappointment is too mild a word for this model. It only has 1 extension wand, the hose is extremely short, there is no extra floor attachment, and the on/off lever is at floor level. Went to their website to order more extension wands. Their website doesn't work so you have call. You will have to order more wands to reach any ceiling higher than 6 ft. Any attachments you might have have had from a previous model or another vac (all fit the previous model) do not fit this vac. The hose and wand ends are exactly the same size as the ends on other attachments. The short hose makes it very difficult to clean with the wands (I end up using both hands to control), and the entire vac is always right behind/in front of you because of the short hose. I have delegated this vac to the upstairs and am looking for a different brand. It is unusable for the living areas and useless if you have pets. Whoever approved the design of this vac for Royal should be fired. The only decent thing about it is the price.
