If you don’t have that large of an area to vacuum, you might be tempted to get a smaller vacuum. Stick vacuums are good for those people who just have an area rug to clean and who have a lot of hard floors. Shark EP604 Retractor Convertible Lightweight Stick Vac, but is it going to work as well as it should?

Shark Turbo Stick Vacuum Specifications:

• Type of Vacuum: Stick Vacuum
• Power: 1000 Watts
• Filter: HEPA-type dust cup filtration
• Cleaning Path: 7 inches wide
• Dust Collection: Easy empty dirt cup
• Attachments: Deluxe floor to carpet attachment
• Warranty: One year warranty

The Shark Turbo Stick Vacuum is only $50, so you might be tempted to pick it up without reading reviews. If you just bought it and are wondering whether or not to keep it, here is the answer.

The best feature is that you can turn this vacuum from a stick vacuum into a hand vacuum by detaching the handle. Reattaching the handle is as easy as snapping it back into place.

You won’t ever have to buy bags with this stick vacuum, making it easy to maintain. The dust cup is small, so you are going to have to clean it after every use.

Another good thing about the Shark Turbo Stick Vacuum  is that it has a lot of power. The problem is that you would think that with 1000 watts, you would think that you have enough to clean a large area, but if you try to clean carpet, the machine will overheat, and you will need to wait for it to cool down to use it again. If you are trying to do a larger sized room, it is going to take a while.

The negatives for the Shark are probably going to convince you to take this stick vacuum back while you can. The first is that the cleaning path is only going to be 7 inches wide. If you have hard floors, it is probably going to be easier to sweep up the mess than drag out your Shark Turbo. If you have carpet, getting out your vacuum cleaner is going to be just as easy, so why not get the job done quickly.

When you do decide to use your Shark Stick Vac, be prepared to pick up the clumps of hair that it leaves behind. Here is what one Amazon.com reviewer said, and there are several other reviewers who complain of having to pick up hair clumps, too.

“Doesn’t work very well, it clumps all the hair on my carpet in a spot and i have to pick it up myself.”

To Buy Or Not To Buy?

With a three and a half star rating, you probably won’t know whether to buy the Shark Turbo Stick vacuum or not. If you have a small apartment in the city, this might be a good choice, but otherwise, you are probably going to want to find a better machine.
