The pre-motor filter is REALLY dense! It is washable as well... |

I have seen the Freestyle at Target a few times. I would never go for a rechargeable vacuum, but I might consider a cheaper, corded model. It would be nice for sweeping the kitchen. I'm thinking Shark's current line up will end up like the Fantoms of the 90s. Not everyone likes them but they have a strong fan base. I've never used a Shark vacuum but I do think will be collectable one day.

Don't get your hopes up. I posted on here a few weeks ago, having just purchased the Shark Lift-Around, and while I must admit, it did a great job on furniture, dusting, etc, it did a lousy job cleaning the car, and while it was a sealed system, the pre motor filter got dirty REAL fast, and the dust cup was small. I am not saying Euro-Pro will never come up with a good product, I actually have, over the years, had a few Euro-Pro products that I liked, and to an extent, I did even like the Lift-Around, but they just cant seem to get it right on a consistent basis.

I had a Euro-Pro Shark Roadster I got for Christmas in 2006 (the Sears exclusive model). That was thrown away a year later because the power switch died. Fantomvacuumfan, did you always like Fantoms when you were a kid? |

It actually did a nice job for the most part, and did get into tight spots, but for some reason the smaller bin on it was not as full as the bigger bin on my Fantom Lightning that I usually use to clean with. What I mean is the Fantom bin is bigger, so there is more room for the dirt to spread out in it, yet, it always filled higher than the Shark bin did. And yes I returned it.
Director12, yes, I remember watching the infomercials on TV, and then on HSN. At one point, I had a video tape from 2001 which I had recorded the Fantom hour on HSN. I seem to remember they had the Fury and Crosswind, the Crosswind for sure, plus probably another model or 2, but something happened and I lost the tape, either I accidentally recorded over it or threw it out for some reason :/ I even used to have all the VHS tapes for the Fury, Thunder, Lightning and Cyclone XT, but most of those have disappeared as well, I only have the Fury one, along with the Lightning owners VHS tape, which includes the TV infomercial. |

Here is the post where I reviewed the Lift-Around, and posted pics, including of the filter after only 3 times using it.

Why did Euro-Pro put Fantom on the sideline? And to those who ask, what could be the full history on Iona Fantom? And did Fantom's patents expire after the transfer to Euro-Pro? |
