Do you want a Dyson vacuum cleaner, but the price tag scares you a bit? If this sounds like you, a Shark Infinity NV31 is going to be a cheaper option, but it is going to be suitable replacement or should you just bite the bullet and get a Dyson?

Shark Infinity NV31 Bagless Upright Vacuum Specifications:

• Type of Vacuum: Upright
• Power: 1440 Watts
• Filter: True HEPA exhaust filtration
• Cleaning Path: 14 inches wide
• Dust Collection: Easy empty dirt cup
• Attachments: Dusting brush, crevice tool and upholstery brush
• Warranty: Two year warranty

The best thing about the Shark Infinity is that you are going to get a vacuum that looks like a Dyson Vacuum cleaner for half the price. The NV31s really look sharp. If you are looking for a cute vacuum, the Shark Infinity is a good choice.

Another thing that a lot of people like about this vacuum is that it has strong suction. You are going to be surprised by the amount of gunk that you get out of your rugs. There are 24 different cyclones in this vacuum cleaner and EuroPro claims that it will never lose power even if the dirt cup (which is super small) is filled to the brim.

Now, what you won’t like is the filter system, the cheapness and the durability of the Infinity or the customer service that comes with the two year warranty.

The first filter is just a block of foam (the HEPA filter is the exhaust filter), and you are going to need to wash it out nearly every time you use it.

The whole vacuum feels flimsy when you use it (which is a surprise, because it weighs a ton and is difficult to push). To empty the dirt cup, you are going to have to wrestle with three different plastic pieces, lining them up just right so that it snaps back into place.

The rest of the vacuum isn’t much better, either. Parts snap off, break or just don’t work. There is review after review on Amazon.com where something would break and EuroPro would insist that they send the whole vacuum back in to fix it, paying for shipping and handling for the machine both ways.

This review is going to sum up purchasing this vacuum pretty accurately.

“So, if your are considering this vacuum or had just bought it, take it back before it is out of warranty. It does suck well but it was not made or designed to hold up.”

The Number Of Problems Will Reach Infinity

There are too many bad reviews of the Shark Infinity NV31 Bagless Upright Vacuum to warrant a recommendation. Sure, it cleans great, but it is going to be a pain in the neck to keep it running and if you do have to send it back, why deal with a company that has so many customer service complaints?
