Shark Transformer Bagless Stick Vacuum Review

The very lightweight, bagless Transformer stick vacuum cleaner from Shark has a few things going for it. In addition to being easy to use and move around, these vacuums have a low price as compared to their competition. And even though it is very light, it comes with a powerfull 1200 watt motor.

While you typically don't use stick vacuum cleaners for your weekly, full house cleaning chores they are good at smaller jobs. When you have a small spill it is much easier to pull a stick vac out of storage then to try to get your full sized upright powered up and ready to go. Additionally, the Transformer is good at cleaning hard floors that a larger cleaner is not designed to do.

Main Features Of The Shark Euro Pro Bagless Lightweight Vacuums

  • 1200 Watt motor has comparable suction to a full sized upright vacuum cleaner
  • No dust bags to buy as this system is completely bagless
  • The Transformer can convert from a stick vac to a handheld cleaner in a couple easy steps
  • Full HEPA filter will remove harmful allergens like dust mites and pet dander from your home
  • Shark provides free replacement filters for the life of the machine
  • Thermostat has an auto shutoff to prevent the vacuum from overheating

While these features do sound impressive for a cleaner with such a low price, the Shark Transformer does receive mixed reviews from consumers who have purchased it. Some of the negative qualities that appear in more than one review are that it cannot handle very large workloads, it doesn't maintain maximum suction for very long, and it will stop working every once in a while (due to the auto shutoff feature). This negatively affects its' ratings with us which is why we give it a medium rating. As compared to other stick vacuums, the Transformer is very lightweight and easy to use as well as empty but has some quirks that can be frustrating to say the least. If you are looking for a light, cheap, and no frills stick vacuum then the Shark Transformer is a decent selection but if you don't mind spending more money there are higher quality vacuum cleaners available that will have better performance. Keep in mind that this cleaner is not meant to compete against the high end stick vacs that cost many times more. It is designed to save you money while still giving you a machine that can do some lighter duty cleaning around your home. Click here for more information and current prices.
