New Shark Rotator lift-away canister

[ultraperformer]

Same to hear of your experience with the Rocket dissapointing to know how loud it is, but on the plus side excellent to see the Rotator launched in the UK I love the new colours too.

 

[dys0nb0y]

So yesterday I gave shark a ring And they said The shark rocket Will definitely come out just don't know when She said maybe in a month or so So hopefully the canister comes out to. And I also asked What accessories Comes with the rotator You get the Caddy to turn into a canister and the turbo brush straight suction nozzle and the Crevice tool and dusting brush .I like the colour I prefer the The red-and-white.Is anyone Going to get one.And she said that Currys in Suffolk Sell them And she said that hopefully other retailers will have them There just waiting for The retailers to Say y

Didn't you import one Josh a red and white one??? I will deffo get the rocket stick vac when the price falls after they have been one sale for a month or two or hopefully Amazon will have a good price on them.

 

[dys0nb0y]

Yeah I did import one But it got damage in transit then I fixed it and sold it I'm going To wait for the rocket to come out Then I will buy the rotator then I will buy the rocket Then I will have a Set So what rocket are you talking about the one that got on sale now or the one that Is like the Dyson handheld

As far as bagless cleaners go, the morphy Richards/Shark vacuums are the ebst in my experience. I also think that these types of cyclones - single, as the most efficient. They never seem to clog. I am still impressed with my morphy Richards branded navigator lift away and am thrilled that the rotator has landed in the UK.

So is this model a mass market cleaner? Only I cant see it on Shark US product page. I will admit it looks great. And di it really pull that muck out that even your Miele left behind ?

Also, how decent is the brush bar? Are the bristle soft, dense or both? Only that is a slight problem with the previous sharks, which I found on ymy hall and living room carpets which are densely pilled.

Josh, I'd be looking at the Dyson stick copy Rocket can't wait for them to launch it, really hope they Lso offer the accessories that they do in the US like the powered turbobrush and the hard floor tool with microfibre cloth!

Had a message from Shark today...

So i've just received a message from Shark on Youtube and they want their rotator canister back unfortunately lol it turns out that it was one of 3 top secret new samples sent to the UK for evaluation and testing. How they ended up on ebay I don't know.

They've kindly offered to compensate me and have offered me another Shark product to replace it and they have asked me nicely to take down my youtube video for now. They're expecting it to hit the UK market later this year but the exact specification is not yet known.

So there you go folks! you saw it here first. A little sneak preview of whats possibly to come from Shark

To answer your questions the brush roll is fairly stiff, not as stiff as the Miele S7 which is why I am surprised it picked up so much. The Miele has only recently been serviced too. The Shark has performed very well on all surfaces i've tested it on including short pile and shag

 

[dys0nb0y]

Oh my god that's so bad Maybe the guy stole them If it was me I wouldn't give it back I would keep it Legally they can't actually Do anything about so it's up to you But I would keep.Say to them I'll traded it for a shark rotator lol

 

[dys0nb0y]

Yeah I can't wait for the Rocket Yeah I want all the attachments possible for it

 

[oliveoiltinfoil]

Thanks for your reply.

The brushroll look the same as the shark navigator lift away, minus the strip to cut threads, maybe the extra suction power helps, either way this is very impressive looking.

Well, that is interesting. Well if you look on shark US homepage, there is no mention of this. However, id you message them back with your opinion of it, considering you did test and evaluate it ?

 

[madabouthoovers]

That's a shame. Can they legally demand that the machine is given back to them? Or is it like buying a stolen car (Ringer) and you get it taken off you by the police even though you paid someone for it in good faith.


I must admit that price of £45 and the lack of any product ID seemed a little suspicious.


When something seems too good to be true - usually it is.


The one thing is - was it really Shark that contacted Ryan? It could be anyone that wants the cleaner masquerading as Shark?

 

[dys0nb0y]

So I asked my mum If They Can take it. they have no right To take the item so you Can keep it My mum used to work for a place That helps people with the same situation So if you say no to shark and put the video up They can't do anything about lol

 

[madabouthoovers]

If the machine was stolen and subsequently sold on, then I don't think Ryan will be able to keep it. He is also a Police officer as far as I know, so he wont want to bring the force into disrepute by keeping a suspicious or possibly stolen item, against its owner's wishes.

 

[super-sweeper]

'Shark' better prove they're shark,

Or else why should Ryan have to send it off? Like as mentioned above, this 'Shark' may not be Shark. A jealous collector, the original seller regretting selling off a prototype,etc.


 


ANYONE can post messages to youtube, you can never be sure in this modern world!

 

[madabouthoovers]

The original seller may be a Shark employee now being threatened with the sack if he doesn't get that machine back!


 


I have also noticed Gumtree and Ebay seem swamped at the moment with Dyson DC54's going cheap - I wonder where all these came from, so many different sellers all selling them as unwanted gifts or some other reason.

 

[bikerray]

Here in the US you can only get belts and bags for Sharks. Shark offers no parts for repair. You have to send it back to Shark then they send you a new or refurbished one.

Hopefully they gave you a nice unit in exchange for the ebay oops.

Lifft around

My shark lift around is china rubbish but I can't take it back because it was a present, oh well. The turbo head that Ryan had with his shark (the mini one) I kinda good though.

 

[kirbylux77]

Well, I must say this new Shark canister looks really good!! It will give Dyson a good run for their money, especially since Dyson has decided not to design new powerhead canister models & stick to the turbinehead models instead. Consumers won't like that & will look for alternatives like this Shark. And it doesn't hurt that it is quiet, has swivel steering & overall good design. If this comes to Canada, I am definitely buying one!

The Shark Rocket stick vac is the one I bought, and returned due to being excessively loud. You can't begin to imagine how loud that tiny little motor would be, running on 240 volts. Until you get one, you can't imagine the shrill scream of that motor, and it's close to your ear because it's in your hand. The capacity is minimal, it feels heavy in your hand, and the filters dirty immediately. Given a choice between the Dyson hand vac and the Shark, the shark is a better value BUT it's so loud in use that you can't and won't want to, use it very long.

That's not the only Shark canister prototype. Tacony has the prototype for the US version in the engineering department. It was sent to us by the manufacturer (not Shark), as we were thinking of sourcing the power nozzle for a Fuller Brush brand canister. You wouldn't believe how many prototypes we receive from China of machines that appear one or two years later under assorted brand names.

Every time I think of shark I think about the stupid grinning idiot woman and the overly dramatic man advertising the early h2o mops on thane direct!

As said before though, if they hit it off over here I could be tempted. As long as they keep the power head and don't cheapen it
