If you hate to sweep, you may be looking for a sweeper that is going to pick up all of the little crumbs, hair and dirt from the crevices between the tiles.  Finding a good sweeper is a difficult task.  Is the -Pro V1950 Shark VX3 Cordless Floor-and-Carpet Cleaner a good deal?

Shark VX3 Folding Handle Sweeper Specifications:

• Type of Vacuum: Cordless Sweeper
• Power: 7.2 volts
• Cleaning Path: 13 inches wide
• Dust Collection: Dirt cup
• Attachments: None
• Warranty: One year warranty

For about $70, you can stop using a broom and start using the Shark VX3.  It seems like people either love this sweeper or hate it.  If you understand that this is not going to work on carpeting very well (or at all), you might end up liking the VX3.

There are a lot of good things about the Pro V1950 Shark VX3 Cordless Floor-and-Carpet Cleaner.  The first thing that you will like is that the dust cup is easy to empty.  This makes using the machine a lot easier and more convenient.  When you are sweeping with a broom, you have to bend down to get the dust and dirt in the dustbin, with the VX3, you don’t have to bend down again to get every speck of dirt and dust bunny.

The handle looks funny on the Shark VX3 sweeper, but once you use it, you will like the design of the machine.  The VX3 has a side brush that will help you to get the dirt that gets pushed to the sides of the room.  You won’t just get the middle of the path that you vacuum over, but every inch that you go over.

Another thing is that you won’t be restricted to where you sweep.  The Shark VX3 is cordless and you can use it for up to 90 minutes on a single charge.  Compare these numbers to other sweepers, and you will be impressed.

There are two different speeds on this vacuum, depending on the type of mess that you have.  The Turbo speed is going to be good for tough messes and hairy situations.  The multi-surface speed is going to work best on hard floors and low pile carpeting.  Here is what one reviewer had to say about the Shark VX3.

“It’s lightweight, very quiet, convenient, and effective for picking up visible crumbs if used correctly.”

There are a couple of things that you might not like about the Shark Cordless VX3 Sweeper.  The first is that the lifespan of the battery is not very long.  Their company website says that the battery is only going to last 6 months to a year, and then need to be replaced.  The cost to replace it is nearly half the price of the machine, so keep that in mind before buying it.

Another reviewer commented on the handle.  Remembering that this is a sweeper (and not a vacuum cleaner), will help you to not have problems with your handle.

“The handle is flimsy and makes it difficult to maneuver the Shark.”

Will This Sweeper Replace Your Broom Or Get Wedged In A Closet?

The VX3 is not going to replace your vacuum cleaner, and once you realize this, you are going to enjoy it even more.  There are very few sweepers out there that are going to be able to replace a vacuum cleaner, especially if you have a lot of rugs.  The Shark VX3 Folding Handle Sweeper is good for cleaning up messes when you don’t want to get out your big vacuum cleaner.
