| This is the BEST dustbuster-type device I have ever owned...or that anyone I've known has ever owned! It is truly a marvel. I have forced it to pinch-hit for a shop vac, sucked up plaster, nails, splinters, bits of adhesive-backed tiles, sawdust, roly-polies, cobwebs, flour, ginormous dust bunnies...and still it won't die. I have used the roller attachment to vacuum my shag rug. It is POWERFUL! I have abused this thing so severely, I don't deserve to own it.
If it died, I would cry, apologize to it, bury it in my backyard...and immediately buy another one. |
| Works as good as the reviews here on Amazon |

| I owned an older Shark vacuum and had to put it to rest a few months ago. I was happy with its performance, but wanted a more powerful vacuum. Over the last few years I've acquired some dogs who like to ride in my car, but cleaning out the dog hair from cloth seats and floors was a real pain. I did a lot of research and decided on this hand-vac. I'm happy to report that after 4 months of hard vacuuming this product is living up to the good reviews here. I also use it around the office and home, but the car is where it gets its true workout. Would recommend to anyone looking for a strong powerful handvac. Just a warning - be sure that you dont accidentally throw the filter out when you are emptying it out! |
| I love this thing more than Mick Jagger, and that is saying a lot! |

| I have no real purpose now for an upright vacuum; this thing takes care of everything. And I have been known, once or twice, to run in up and down my pants to remove cat hair, it works like a charm. Now only if I could run it up and down the cat. It makes my white couch (cat sovereignty) pristine and I can even get in between my keyboard keys. I just love it; they make Black and Decker dirt devil look like punks. |
| Good Suction and Durable If Properly Maintained |

| SV736 vs. SV736N
---------------- There have been some complaints about Amazon engaging in bait and switch. Admittedly, I ordered the unit through this page and I DID get the charging stand, but Amazon seems to have changed the model to one without a charging stand. To clear this up, the model currently offered for sale is SV736, and it does NOT come with a charging stand. If you want a charging stand, the model to get is SV736N. With that out of the way, let's proceed: Accessories ----------- The Shark Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner comes with 3 attachments: - Brush Attachment - Crevice Attachment - Motorized Brush Attachment Cleaning Power -------------- The suction is about as strong as a mid-range corded vacuum cleaner - plenty strong for a handheld vacuum cleaner. It's able to maintain maximum suction for about 13 minutes, after which its power starts to falter and the suction gradually drops. The usable suction it puts out lasts about 20 minutes tops. Still, it's plenty of time to vacuum out the interior of your car, clean up a small mess, or do some spot cleaning. Even though the vacuum is touted as having "Twister Cyclonic Technology", which supposedly helps to maintain suction longer, it is important that the dirt receptacle be emptied when it gets about half full, otherwise the suction will be significantly reduced. The motorized brush attachment is excellent for extracting dirt and pet hair embedded in the carpet. The downside is when the attachment is on, the battery gets drained more quickly. Maintenance ----------- - Dirt Collection Receptacle The frosted see-through dirt collection receptacle lets you know how much dirt has been collected. Once full, the receptacle can be easily removed and emptied. - Filter The filter is washable and is made of a durable material that will stand up to repeated washings. - NiCd (Nickel Cadmium) Rechargeable Battery There are a lot of complaints the battery capacity of the Shark diminishes over time. I suspect the diminished battery capacity that many people encounter is due to the so-called "memory effect" on the Shark's NiCd (Nickel Cadmium) battery. "Memory effect" is a phenomenon that results when a battery is repeatedly charged BEFORE it is FULLY discharged. The result is the battery capacity diminishes because it "forgets" that it can be discharged all the way, hence the term "memory effect." The proper way to care for a NiCd battery is to fully discharge it ("deep discharging") before fully charging it to avoid "memory effect". Diminished battery capacity due to memory effect may be reversed by putting the battery through repeated deep discharge and full recharge cycles. After the vacuum cleaner is past putting out any useful suction power, let its battery deplete completely before charging it back up. I've had the Shark for about three years and never had a problem with diminished battery capacity. CAUTION: The above only applies to NiCd batteries. Do not confuse NiCd batteries with rechargeable NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) or lithium batteries. NiMH batteries are reportedly less prone to memory effect and lithium batteries absolutely do NOT suffer from memory effect. Deep discharging NimH and ESPECIALLY lithium batteries may actually damage them. Conclusion ---------- The Shark is a top-notch handheld vacuum cleaner that provides plenty of suction. If you're careful to observe proper battery maintenance, it should provide years of trouble-free service. |
