Another New Cyclonic Upright
09/24/06 at 9:42pm
 
There is another new cyclonic bagless upright on the market.  It uses quite a bit more cyclones than dyson.  The cyclones are designed alittle bit different than dyson.  It has quite a bit of power.  For the most part, I like it.  But........

Yes, it is Euro Pro's Shark Infinity.  It is so new that their specific website, for the Infinity, is not even up yet.
 
This vacuum cleaner has 24 cyclones, not one or two.  First observations are that the vacuum cleaner filters well.  I noticed how the debris started collecting below a separate area at the bottom of the bin.  There is no "shroud", but there is instead a screen.
 
The handle was comfortable, which made the vacuum cleaner more comfortable to use.  It felt more solid compared to other Euro Pro.  After pulling the handle tube from the vacuum cleaner, you see a stainless steel telescopic wand.  I really like a wand system like this.  There is no hose to reverse or wand that must be pulled from the hose.  You just "grab and go".
 
The hose is very long, but of course, when the wand grabbed onto something, the machine followed like I mentioned w/ the introduction of the dyson DC07.
 
The Shark Infinity has alot of power or should I say enough power to clean.  It does very well on carpeting, but I think the bristles could be alittle bit longer.    
 
I also thought that the height adjustment could use more height adjustments.
 
The two models are painted in the style like AB Electrolux vacuum cleaners in the USA.  The other of the two is a more blue/green-lite blue color.
 
Some people will throw a tantrum, because on the vacuum itself, it says "never loses suction".
 
It is still a cheaper machine and is sold by Euro Pro LLC, but people will buy it.  I am glad that they now have an outside wholesaler for parts.
 
One can be had for $200.00.

Hi Mike,
 
Thanks for the heads-up.  I'm very surprised that Euro Pro went this far.  It makes one hopeful.
 
I just checked online and Linens-n-Things has it for $249.99.   Bed, Bath and Beyond who seems to carry Euro Pro as a staple does not have it yet.
 
The other good point about this machine is that it has a 30-foot cord.  By the way, when you used it did you have a chance to check out how the pre-filter and HEPA are set up?  I only read that it possesses a "lifetime" HEPA that's washable.
 
Regards,
 
Venson

While it's pretty, the very fact that it's made by Euro Pro would make me shy away from it.  When a brand is known for nothing except terrible products (Dirt Devil, Euro Pro), one's expecations aren't very high.  Of course, even though I hate Dirt Devil, I think the Cruiser is pretty.  Maybe I should learn to evaluate machines on their individual merits instead of stereotyping them because of who made them... what do you think?  Does this machine infringe on Dyson's patents, or do they not have any?

You know I wondered at the patent infringement angle myself but think, if an exact copy has not been made or a new spin (pardon the pun) has put on an earlier idea, there's not much ground for complaint.
 
As I said -- one hopes.  I owned a small Euro Pro canister that I liked very much save for flaws like bad air leaks in its telescopic wand.  I also had a bagless I'd like to think that this new machine, if durable and useful, might lead to a sense of trust by way of the public regarding the Shark/Euro Pro brands and subequently  prove an encouragement to the manufacturer to be even more innovative and lean even more in the direction of making highewr quality items.  However, that sentiment comes from someone who believed in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy till he was 40.

Like I have said before, Euro Pro does not make their vacuum cleaners.  This vacuum cleaner is not like the others that have come out under their name.  It is a notch above.  You will still find some cheap areas like the height/wheel assembly.  They even took the time w/ this series to paint them.
 
I addressed the issue of parts earlier,because Euro Pro handled their own parts.  It was difficult to get bags, filters, etc.  Now it is easier, because vac shops will be able to order them easily.
 
There are three filters outside and below the dirtbin.  The first two   felt and foam disks can be cleaned every five months.  The company says to clean the third, large, pleated disk every THREE years.  That sounds like it filters, doesn't it.
 
BTW, this is about the third time INFINITY has been used for a vacuum cleaner name.  I do not think they are thinking hard enough.
