New Shark Rotator lift-away canister

[ryry_87]

Hi guys

This is my first post in a long time, I took a bit of a step back from vacuums because I was sidetracked with work/cars/moving house etc

Is anyone able to tell me about this strange little beast? I picked it up brand new on ebay for just £45. The seller stated that it was one of three sales samples. I can totally believe this because as of yet, I've not been able to find any real info about this particular model.

It arrived today and is totally devoid of any ratings plate of information as to where it has come from etc, also the fitted plug has been removed and a standard UK plug fitted so i'm guessing it wasn't intended for the British market.

However, first impressions are fantastic! i'm really happy with it

great for stairs!

Looks great, and equipped with an electric power nozzle to boot. I know some love them while others hate them, but it's always good to see more choices in that particular category. The machine itself seems rather quiet too, especially for a bagless, and that removable chassis is genius.

What kind of separation system does it have - is it a Dyson clone of sorts, or direct filter, and how resistant is it to clogging?

Got to say some of the Shark and Morphy Richards vacs coming out at the moment do look very good, even more so when you compare the price to the competition. And they seem to be getting a lot of positive reviews as well from what I've read.

Enjoy, and let us know more about it as you put it through its paces!

it has a single cyclone set up with a washable foam pre-motor filter. As can be seen from the pics it seems to be relatively resistant to clogging. I've certainly not experienced any loss of suction as of yet but then again, my carpets are fairly clean lol

well, i've just finished vacuuming the upstairs carpets and downstairs rug and this is what my Filter Queen and Miele S7 have left behind!

I've seen other Shark vacuums offered by that Ebay seller but was put off by the absence of a proper fitted plug and wondered if they were suitable for the UK electricity supply.

I have just noticed that Shark have officially launched the Rotator Lift Away and Rocket uprights but they are too expensive for me at the moment. Lets hope they release other models that the U.S. have soon.

well first impressions are good, i'd happily pay good money for a decent bagless cylinder with a powerhead. I hope Shark take off in the UK

The little experience I've had with Shark products I've been very impressed shame they stick to the single cyclone but their filters are so easy to clean and dry quick too!

They need to offer the Rocket stick vac thing!!!!!!!

Hi everyone I have some good news They are going to release the shark rocket I found online that the Shark rocket is coming out and the cylinder Vacuum cleaner It's just not on the website yet I think I am Going to buy a shark rocket for my mum I am so excited

You have no idea how loud the Rocket is. I bought one from China Mart to try out, and took it back the next day. I thought the tornado sirens were going off. Deafeningly loud. The power nozzle on the cylinder vac is the same as the nozzle on the Rocket. If any part of it breaks (wheel, brush roller) the entire assembly has to be replaced - no individual parts for it.

WANT.... Right Now

Holy Hell mate, that thing is Fantatic, Please let that become a production unit.

 

[joshdonnell]

Yay

When will they be here in the us? I want one!

 

[daknx1994]

That actually sounds rather pleasant. I think it looks pretty good and sounds pretty good for a Shark. It also has a wire reinforced hose versus most of the springy hoses that come with canisters today. I wonder if it will come into production in either the U.K. or the U.S.

 

[ryry_87]

I hope so, I genuinely think it will do really well. Its a genuinely good modern vacuum

 

[ryry_87]

I got in from work today and I thought blimey! the carpets still look and feel great after using the Shark yesterday, they're all fluffy and springy
