Anyone w/ experience/opinion re: the new Shark "Infinity" Bagless Washable HEPA filter Upright vacuum cleaner?

It's $199 Cnd., and there's a $249 pet dust model, too. 24 cyclone tech, 17 ft. stretch hose, furniture attachments. Not to be confused with the earlier Shark models. It promises to do same job as competition twice the price, but y'know....Vacuum Cleaners.

I just don't feel like doing the 'buy, try, and return' routine, so opinion from someone will be appreciated.

Update:

OK, I bought one. Soon I'll be able to answer my own question.

    Since you purchased one will you let us all know? Please return it if it isn't any good. For anyone that doesn't know Shark & Euro Pro are the same company. They also do kitchen appliances under the Bravetti name. I have purchased Shark steamers, yes, steamers not steamer. I love them, I have tried 7 other brands, some cheaper some lots more expensive but none that worked anywhere near as well. However they never last longer than 18 months. For the ones that don't make a year I send in for repairs and the fastest they have ever returned one was 5 1/2 months and that was with several phone calls. I have also purchased some other shark items with about the same results. My point in telling you this is simplly I think they have some great products, excellent ideas, but they haven't quite worked out the quality thing or customer service yet. I hope you don't have any problems like this, but if you can let us know how it works.

    Would like to know, too .. been seeing the commercials, and wondering how it compares to a Dyson. I have the Dyson Animal, and it's fantastic and easily the best vacuum I've ever owned in terms of suction and what it can get out of the carpet, but of course very expensive. Infinity seems like the same design with more cyclones, and they use the same tagline.

    Methinks Dyson and the Infinity may be one and the same.

    We have a bagless vacume. We shake the filter off every time when empty the tank and change at the recomended times. We have never had the trouble you have described. I think your vacume is messed up. I really like the bagless.
