Are shark vacuums made in the 2000s made by the same people that make the Sharks now? I know that Euro Pro changed its name to Shark Ninja but im genuinely curious as to whether or not the vacuums were made by the same manufacturing companies. I ask this because if you look at any Amazon review of a 2000 Euro Pro Shark, many of them were flawed and had faulty qualities. Sharks now (since the Navigators and Rotators) have mixed reviews, some being incredibly positive. What shifted? Also the fact of how elusive a Euro Pro labeled Shark is to come by now. Its been on my mind alot TBH.

The Euro Pro Shark Ninja company has had the same owners and management since Day One in the 1980’s: the Rosenzweig family from Montreal. They got their start importing lightweight compact European-style sewing machines for the Canadian market….to compete with heavier bulkier sewing machines. Hence the original name Euro Pro. You would often see Mark Rosenzweig in their infomercials. They moved the head office to Boston at some point - I think Newton Massachusetts.
It could be that their manufacturing factories in China changed over the years, and maybe they even have their own factories now which are completely owned by Shark Ninja. But in the early years, I am sure they just subcontracted manufacturing to some Chinese company. | ||

Thank you for the information! Indeed Mark Rosen is still to this day doing almost rvery infomercial for the Shark vacuums. I remember the first one I saw of his was for the small cyclonic stick vac in the very VERY early 2000s. I figured it might've been different Chinese manufacturers though given the quality has definitely improved over time and not gone down. They're not my favorite brand but there are SOME out there now from them I do like.

The Euro-Pro era Sharks are elusive because they're mostly gone. | ||
