Euro-Pro Shark V1725 Quick-and-Quiet 10-Inch Cordless Sweeper Quieter, lighter, and easier to maneuver than a traditional suction-powered vacuum, this rechargeable cordless sweeper is a joy to use. It efficiently cleans up messes ranging from tracked-in mud to spilled Cheerios on either floors or carpet, all without messy bags and filters, tripping over cords, or dragging a heavy vacuum from one outlet to another. Powerful brush-roll action sweeps rather than sucks dirt onto a dust tray that removes easily for emptying. The low-profile design with swiveling head reaches easily into tight corners and under furniture, and the whole sweeper converts to a hand-held unit for cleaning stairs, upholstery, or your car–a feature that’s especially handy for couches covered with pet hair. The Euro-Pro cleans a 10-inch path and runs up to 30 minutes on a single charge. It weighs just 5 pounds for shipping, measures 10-1/3 by 4-1/2 by 12-1/2 inches, and is covered by a one-year limited warranty. –Mary Park
Customer Review: Don’t throw out the box. It worked for less than a month.
I was so excited to take the Shark Sweeper home. It worked great until I needed to charge it. The motor never started again. I could not return it because I threw away the box. What a waste of $40.

McCulloch MC-1275 Heavy Duty Steam Cleaner Providing 1500 watts of steam power, this heavy-duty cleaner requires no chemicals and is easy to use. Ideal for cleaning and detailing cars, trucks, motorcycles, or boats, the cleaner removes stains and odors from upholstery, carpeting, and floor mats, as well as grease and grime from engines, wheels, and chrome accessories. It also works well for removing stuck-on dirt from the BBQ grill, patio furniture, or garage. The “steam ready” light indicates when the unit is ready to use, and a steam-control switch provides control over the amount of steam coming from the unit. The cleaner features a storage compartment for its 10 attachments, which include a steam jet nozzle, two extension wands, a triangle brush, an upholstery/floor brush, and a utility brush, as well as a squeegee, funnel, measuring cup, and terry cover for the floor brush. Its 12-foot power cord, caster wheels, and included accessories offer convenient mobility and make it easy to clean nooks and crannies in hard-to-reach places. The 13-pound steam cleaner has a 50-ounce water-tank capacity, which allows for one full hour of use. The unit measures 17-1/2 by 11-3/7 by 9-1/4 inches. –Catie Unger
Customer Review: McCulloch MC-1275 Heavy Duty Steam Cleaner
I like the unit as it does exactly what I need it to do. The only problem that I have with the unit is that I can’t get replacement parts or new attachments as I was told this unit is no longer manufactured. The unit can be preplaced but the small attachments can not (I didn’t understand that????) I use my unit in the home and on my detail jobs to clean carpet and upholstery. Don’t use it on headliners as the steam will cause the glue to lose its adhesive properties and you will end up with a sagging headliner.

To make this unit better I would make it a continuous fill unit with more metal attachment (steam has melted a few of the brush britles) and had more attachments that will change the spray of the steam such as full stream, Flat, U-shaped etc. with the new attachments I think that this would be a top tier product for the money.
