Better than my Dyson!
We have always had Dyson vacuum cleaners, from vack when they were really good. But our cordless wasn’t working well and it was time for a replacement.

While corded wasnt Ideal, the price of this vacuum swayed me and i ordered it.

My new shark arrived 14 hours after ordering (gotta love prime!) and my house was clean very soon afterwards.

Fantastic power, very quiet (no complaints from the whingers next door!) and manoeuvres brilliantly. The cord is long enough to do all the stairs (4 storey town house) without having to stop and unplug and the lift away is a brilliant idea, makes doing the stairs easy.

My only quibble is that it does need emptying fairly frequently.

I couldn't not leave a review...
I rarely leave reviews but this vacuum cleaner has really left me stunned. I’ve been using a Henry Hoover for a while and was growing frustrated at how it was performing – I have a short-haired dog and the dog hairs get trapped in the carpets. I’ve tried deep-cleaning the carpets with product and hoovering over and over, to no avail. I purchased my mother this Shark model, and boy does it clean WELL. We were shocked at how much pet hair came out of the carpet, having only hoovered yesterday (we usually hoover daily). The carpet genuinely had so much more texture, and using this hoover has revitalised carpet that we were considering replacing. The amount of money this has saved us in new carpet is incredible. The hoover is a little heavy (feels like I’m doing a bit of a workout), but no heavier than any other hoover I have used. It’s also ideal for doing the sofa and stairs, as you can detach the dust part from the rest of the body. I’ll keep recommending this product for the rest of my life!

Perfect replacement for our aging DC04
I’m really pleased with the Shark vacuum. It was easy to assemble and has some really nice features. The pet hair system is great and the tool for cleaning the stairs means hoovering the stairs now takes a couple of minutes where as it used to take at least 20 with our old Dyson. The suction is really good and can be adjusted depending on the surface you are cleaning. The dust collection bin can be removed to get to those hard to reach places (looking at you coffee tables). Due to the portability of the collection unit, the collection bin is quite a lot smaller than the Dyson, however it is really simple to disconnect and empty and I don’t see it being a issue personally. The extra long lead is also a great feature which means less unplugging and plugging in when cleaning around the house. I’m very pleased with this purchase.

Really nice item easy to use would recommend
OK fantastic product light enough to carry up and down the stairs cord long enough to let you do so
and OK we had to empty it a few times but that gose to show what our old vacuum cleaner was missing,
and it is easy to do so no great problems there.
This is supposed to have the no clog anty tangle hair thing on it but had to stop it 3 times because it got stopped by hair and cotton so I don’t think that but works as well as advanced. But the carpet looked better than it has been using my kerby
And it’s a dame sight lighter!

Fan-blooming-tastic
I bought the Shark in the Black Friday deals. Its fantastic, I’ve really put it through its paces. Cleaned the house multiple times and cleaned my father in laws house and that was in a really bad state. My previous vacuum was a kirby and for those who have used one will know it’s the tank of cleaners, extremely heavy and cumbersome. Because of the weight of the kirby I couldn’t clean as much as needed it was a chore and I knew it wasn’t picking up as it should. Along comes Shark and its changed everything. Moving carpet to tiles is a sinch, hoovering the stairs etc. It takes less than 30 minutes to clean a 3 bed semi, this is mainly due to the length of cord. The collection isn’t an issue for me as Iong as you keep on top of the vacuuming. It’s a game changer and the fact that the spares are easy and cheap to replace means i can regularly service the Hoover without masses of expense. Should be able to keep for years.

Marvellous...!
I don’t usually write reviews but in the case of this vacuum I felt compelled to. It’s a very good bit of kit.

We had laboured on with an old Dyson battery hoover which, whilst convenient, wasn’t the most powerful hoover going. We felt that we needed a plug in option to do a better job of getting out the ingrained dust in the carpets upstairs and the rug downstairs.

I gave the house a quick once over with the old dyson before setting this new one up just to see if it would make a difference. Un boxing and setting up was no chore at all, once it was running I set about cleaning the house. I managed to fill the dust cartridge on each room with dust! This thing pummels carpets and sucks out stuff that you never knew was there…

10/10. Would recommend.

Versatility that doesn't come at the cost of functionality
After much deliberation, I bought this vacuum cleaner as a replacement for my 11+ year old Sebo Automatic Pet X4 which I knew would take some beating, despite some age related issues. The Shark is quite cute straight out of the box and only took a minute or so to assemble. I was expecting a heavy appliance given the reviews I read, but with two kids and a large dog, I figured it was probably a necessary evil. I have to say, I’m pleasantly surprised – it’s definitely a workhorse, but it feels slightly lighter and it’s definitely more manoeuvrable than my old vacuum. It’s also a little lower and reaches some previously inaccessible spots under furniture. (Retrieved a ‘lost’ iPad, so that was a bonus :-D).

There are three main bits that can be used in various ways (the handle/hose, the bin/container and the floor sweeping base part.) With one click, you can detach the handle from the bin/base in two places to provide either a long or short reaching hose; you can even remove the bin part in the middle and connect the short handle directly to the sweeper. I thought this was a bit gimmicky until I realised how useful having a 1ft mini-vac was for stairs, or doing a full carpet vac under furniture without the restrictions of the bulky bin. The upper part of the handle has switches for carpet / floor settings and airflow. My previous vacuum cleaner did this automatically, but I have to say it was great being able to vacuum upholstery without covers and cushions etc trying to disappear up the hose was a much-improved experience.

I was amazed by how much the vac picked up – and more significantly how much really fine dust it sucked out of the carpet. It works well on floor and carpet; it was better than my old vac in relation to hard floors in the sense that it didn’t have so much of a draught that had a tendency to simply blow dust and debris around. It doesn’t seem to have much, if any suction from the sides, which I do kind of miss. The tools work well – particularly the crevice/brush tool for skirting boards and corners. Might forgive my other half now for throwing my old ones away when we moved house 12 months into owning my old vac.

Features I’m slightly less impressed by include the bin. I’ve never used a bagless in anger before, but I was a bit shocked how small the dust collecting part of the box was (specially in this house?!) – I’ll certainly be emptying it more often – I imagine after every couple of uses. The bin detaches really easily, but I didn’t find it that easy to empty – the dust canister part is quite narrow, so it needed quite a few shakes to dislodge it into the bin. This is definitely an outside job – trying to empty it into a kitchen bin or even a bin bag inside the house was really awkward and messy.

I’ve only used it a few times, but I don’t find the buttons and release mechanisms instantly intuitive – the on off switch is on the midsection at about knee height; the two hose release buttons are in different places along the hose; maybe that’s just a consequence of having had the old vacuum cleaner for such a long time.

Overall I’m definitely impressed and pleased with it. It does an excellent job and is much more versatile than what I’ve been used to.

Almost, but not quite perfect.
As a vacuum cleaner it’s excellent. The build quality, the versatility. It’s heavier than it looks but you can use it in so many modes it’s not a problem. The ‘headlights’ are actually quite useful not just a gimmick. Bagless, so that’s one less ongoing expense and fairly quiet too, but it doesn’t have a huge capacity. Emptying is so easy though . Seamless transition from carpet to hard floors. I was truly shocked what this machine picked up that my beloved Henry didn’t although Henry does things this can’t….liquids rubble, crud in my garage etc. That’s why all the builders use a Henry.
My primary motive for buying this was the anti hair wrap feature. My wife and daughter have very long dark hair, that gets everywhere (how can it get INSIDE cupboards?) I had a Dyson pet hair which always felt as if was going to break, and weighed a tonne, a Miele hair vacuum that was ultra compact and quiet, and of course a Henry which I still wouldn’t be without.
None of them worked on the hair problem.
So, with glee I thought my problem was solved. …….but once more, despite the tech, I still had hair wrapped all round the roller necessitating a scissors removal again.,, albeit a lesser amount. Henry excused as it has no roller.
I think my girls’ hair is some kind of spider silk/carbon nanotube hybrid.
All in all, for the sub 200 price I am very pleased, in 98% of ways it is a brilliant vacuum cleaner. However it doesn’t do EXACTLY what it says on the tin so I’m knocking a star off.
Recommended in every other way though.

Sucks harder than a weekend in Bangkok...
Well, where to start. Firstly it looks like a great bit of kit, all sleek and modern looking, and it’s got headlights so it feels like you’re driving a little car.
Proper easy to put together without reading the instructions cos that’s the right way to go about things.
Then the performance – wowzers it can suck, thought it was going to pull the downstairs to upstairs through the carpet.
All comes apart to make cleaning the stairs an absolutely dream, I just wish this was about when I was a kid. Growing up in the 80s we had one of those upright Hoovers with a zip bag on the side with a paper bag on the inside – useless for stairs unless each step was the size of a pallet, in which case you had a weird house. Anyway, I suffered from Asthma pretty bad as a child but as it was the 80s this was no concern to my parents who made me sweep the stairs with a small brush. I’m surprised I’m still alive to be honest. If the Shark was about then it would have added another 10 years to my life I reckon.
Got very swift delivery from Amazon and was really excited to try it when it turned up, even though I was running late for a meeting I had to give it a go.
Fired it up in the front room that we don’t really use (yep, I’m doing pretty well for myself having rooms in the house that I don’t use) but do vacuum each week with the trusty old Dyson. Well blow me down, the little cleaning box was half full of dust and fluff and general detritus after 5 mins.
Also it’s surprisingly quiet, you could definitely maintain a mid range conversation with your half deaf gran when it’s switched on.
So I’ve had stern words with the Dyson and sent him to the loft to think about his actions.
Welcome to the house Shark.
Do yourself a favour and get one. It will not disappoint.

Does what it says and brilliant for pet hair.
I’ve had Dyson, Vax, Henry and various other vacuums but this beats the lot of them put together, I’d just hoovered when the bell rings and its my new Shark being delivered, like a child with a new toy I had to have a go and WOW!!! This hoover is amazing, I did the lounge and the compartment was full of dog fur (Golden Retriever) I was amazed so did the whole house again, the device was easy to put together and looks lovely, the suction is very powerful and although it’s not the lightest of machines it’s not too heavy to manage, it’s got a nice long cord and the lift away and all the tools are easy to use. I’ve also got a mixture of carpets and floor tiles and manages both with ease very quietly.

Easy to use the anti hair wrap does worksuction is great! Overall it’s a great hover. Very pleased
This hover is great the cord could of been a little longer but having said that we do have big rooms as we live in France. The power suction is great you can turn this down if you wanted this is just a slide switch. The suction can be changed from hard floors to carpet with an accessible switch. I can’t really fault this Hoover. Yes I have knocked it over a couple of times when I have Unclipped the Bin part of the hover so I can clean under the beds. It is easy enough to remove the bin part from the hover as that is removed by a push button so you can carry around to Hoover under things and up in high corners. It’s basically a question of getting used to using a new hover. The dirt bin is a little small but I’m guessing the more you hover your home and empty the bin the less often you will have to empty it when you have got all the dust and dirt up from whatever hover you were using before that wasn’t getting it all. The only real problem I have is it is quite hard to carry the hover box and the wand at the same time to hover in high spaces. Our house does have high ceilings the wand is a little heavy and I feel it needs two hands to hold it but you are carrying the bin part of the hover as well so this can be quite tricky. The wand part could of been made not quite so heavy and a little more in length with the lead being a little longer. But for an average size British home I think I would be great. It has great suction is easy to use and the anti hair wrap is amazing it does work we have always had big problems with continuously trying to cut hair out of the brushes with past hovers even taking the hovers apart to cut masses of hair out. ( I don’t really know where all this long hair comes from I am sure the hair fairy deposits it on the carpet while we are sleeping) This we haven’t had to do at all with this hover so for this it is amazing. So all in all a great hover it certainly hovers deep down is simple to use and looks good too. Yes I would recommend this hover.

Life change
I know a lot of people here and commented about cat and dog hair and it being great for that but I have two rabbits. Two cat sized free roam rabbits. They have recently gotten their winter coats in and were shedding like crazy and it’s that thin, fluffy hair that coats your carpet and can be an absolute nightmare to hoover up.

This thing does exactly that. Even under the bed in lift off mode where it feels like the suction couldn’t possibly be getting it- it does. It sucks up the hay and the sawdust, the fur and general grubbyness very very easily and it’s a damn miracle machine.

It is a little heavy but not unmanageably so. I’m clumsy so I have to be careful not to trip over the cord but it also means one plug socket and I can go everywhere. The lift away function makes it easy to get under furniture and it’s very easy to clean- just make sure you clip everything back on the bottom correctly and if you feel a loss of suction you haven’t done it right.

Honestly the best purchase I have ever made and I really wouldn’t ever consider another brand of hoover now.

Great bit of ki
Previously to buying this I had a vacs blade 2 which kept braking then gave me the powerone in exchange which is just as bad sore the shark on offer on a daily deal and was not disappointed both the vacs were rubbish for cleaning rugs and felt like if you could manage to half clean them they hadn’t done a good job the shark does them brilliantly got loads of dust out that the vacs had missed suction is great used the stair tool that’s good and suction nice and strong some reviews say it’s a little bet heavy I find it lighter than the both vacs one and blade 2 it’s also very good on hard floors overall very pleased with my purchase

Excellent but heavy
The suction power is excellent compared with my Dyson cordless(rop of the range) However I expected that comparing a cordless to cable shark. The anti hair facility works very well with no clogging. On stairs I found it to be both lightweight and versatile. It is so easy moving from carpet to hard floor at a press of a button. I would have give it 5*except for one reason. On carpets it is manoeuvrable but I find it very heavy to use. This is no good for frail or elderly due to that. As such I classed it as 4star.

Superb Vacuum
The last 20 years I have bought and trusted Dyson vacuum cleaners. My new Shark beats them all! So glad I took the risk to change. It’s easy to assemble, and switch from carpet to hard floors, it’s a doddle to empty, and the suction is simply perfect – we went over carpets previously vacuumed with a Dyson and the amount of dust / pet hair lifted off was incredible! It’s also far quieter than anything I’ve used before. Excellent value for money, I thoroughly recommend switching to Shark if you’ve not had one before!

It's better than any other on the Market 1000%
I love it , it really beats Dyson because I have had two of them and neither were any good. I also bought a Vax pet the wand type that you have to charge .I had it a week then sent it back because it’s rubbish, I call it a glorified Ubank . The price of the Vax pet and the Shark is around ten pounds more on the Shark , and the Shark beats them hands down .
It has fantastic suction, I have the one with the pet one with anti hair wrap .
Thank you for making a Shark Vacuum, if I could give 1000% I would do .

Early days but far better than Dyso
We have new carpet fitted and have been using a Dyson corded animal vac, my wife was away for a wile so I had to do the vacuuming, talk about a work out, so doing a load or research found that the Dyson had no hight or vac adjustment and that is what is needed, this vac is so easy to push around and the amount that it picked up was amazing it has a setting for carpet and hard floor and the suction can be adjusted to, I have been a life long Dyson fan but not any more, this will out preform our newish Dyson with ease oh and it is quite to.

Well worth the cost!
This is–by far–the most expensive hoover I’ve ever purchased and I was hesitant to do so. I’ve got a golden retriever and thick carpets. So I’ve been battling (and losing) pet hair since we got the dog. I’ve tried a brand new Bosch pet hoover from Costco, a used Dyson cyclone pet hoover, and a myriad of others. Nothing worked and it made me hesitant to spend so much on another hoover that wouldn’t be worth it.

How wrong I was! This lifts so much hair and dander out of the carpet it’s effing unbelievable. It’s surprising quiet. It’s not light and can be a bit stiff to push around, but that’s in part because of the duo roller really aggitating the carpet. And that’s what gets up so much pet hair. My wife’s jaw dropped at how much of a difference there was even after we just used our old Dyson to compare.

Excellent buy
Well I am very impressed, so much so that I’m leaving a review! I’ve got through many Dysons which have been fine but hair wrapped around the roller has always been a big deal. So I was intrigued when I read the reviews as I did not think the hoover could be that great but it is. Excellent suction, gets out more dirt than the Dyson and really does collect the hair without clogging up the roller. I live in an old dusty house and the picture shows the dirt and hair from the stairs and my daughters room. She had already emptied the dirt from the bottom of the carrier and this pile is from the top part where all the hair collects, and none to be found on the roller! It is quite heavy hence the three stars but then it has to have a strong motor for the suction. Lovely manoeuvrable roller head too.

Fantastic product, does exactly what it says it does
Absolutely great product, my other hooves get clogged with hair from myself & my daughter who has very long hair. Quite a heavy hoover but it gets loads of stuff out of your carpet, I tried it on my daughters bedroom floor first, was amazed at how much hair came out, separates tbe hair from tbe dust & dirt.
Great for pet hair it’s amazing how much it gets up & carpets feel great after being hovered, attachments work really well, & lead long, I could take middle part that collects hair & dirt off hoover & hoover all tbe stairs while not having to carry whole hoover.
You get the odd hair on wheel but just pulls off. Hoover great for hoovering under chair without having to move them.
Not the best looking hoover its name suits the hoover!!
Would highly recommend.

Superb vacuum cleaner!
Shark is a star! I’ve been looking for a vacuum cleaner for some years now. I used Dyson previously, and the early models were great, but then they started innovating… The ball upright vacuum is a big disappointment. I tired VAX. This was ok, but broke quite quickly. It also had serious design flaws. I tried cheap vacuums, but these were completely useless. Shark is excellent in pretty much every area. I have floors and thick long pile carpets, and finding the right vacuum was a huge challenge. This machine is just excellent. Picks up everything from any surface with ease! The anti hair wrap does work really well. We have three females with very long hair, and all the other hoovers were full of wrapped hair. Shark solved the problem, amazing! It is light, easy to push, in fact it pules itself. Hoovering a thick carpet is not a problem any more. The big head can be used for hoovering stairs as the whole thing can be easily clicked and unclicked in different configurations. Everything fits perfectly and works perfectly. And believe me, I haven’t been paid for this review. I’m an engineer, and I just appreciate good design and the thought that went into this machine. Good materials as well. Wheels are rubbery, so they won’t scratch your floor or bounce on it. Just great. However, I returned this particular model as it had a slightly too small dust compartment for my liking. We have a lot of floor surface, so I replaced with a bigger model. But, for a smaller house, absolutely not a problem, in fact it is lighter and easier to manoeuvre than the big one. 100% recommended. Don’t look elsewhere.

Fantastic Cleaning Powe
As a fan of Dysons for many years I decided to give a different brand a try as I was needing to do a deep clean on a house I was leaving. Having used the Dyson (12 year old DC07) on all the bedrooms, I decided to go over them again with the Shark. The additional dirt the Shark removed was amazing. I am truly impressed by the cleaning power this machine has.

On the negative side, it is a bit unwieldy and people with weak arms or wrists need to look elsewhere. The detachable wand is a great idea, but it too is a bit heavy for extended use, though very effective. I do however favour the Dyson design over the Shark for reaching up to the ceiling etc for cobweb removal. The lift off feature is good, however the dirt cannister (or Pod as they call it) tends to fall over, so has to be carried. A better idea would be to feature some sling hooks so the pod could be put on a strap and carried over the shoulder rather than set down, only to fall down, or carried around with your spare hand. One other small negative is that the dirt pod is not as big as the Dyson, so you have to empty more frequently.

Overall however, a superb cleaning machine, highly recommended.

Comparisons I have made in this review with the Dyson DC07 I own, are perhaps unfair. The DC07 is 12 years old and has given me sterling service. If comparisons are to be made, then they should be made against the most up to date Dyson, not my one that is coming to the end of its life.

Happy purchase
To be honest I’m happy with this vacuum. It’s a well thought out designed machine and super quiet. The dust storage is small but it is really easy to empty and clean. And washing the filters could not be easier though they take a day or so to dry. I might order a spare filter set. Luckily you don’t need to wash them a lot. 1 month 1st wash.

All but one tool from the three it comes with can sit on the vacuum. It’s also quite narrow so fits in areas that others do not.

If you remember to switch it to hard floor mode it sucks up well. If you forget and leave it on carpet mode the brush has a habit of flicking the dirt away.

Wife has long hair and I have not seen any hair tangled round the brush so I’m guessing that’s working well.

Excellent Value for Money. Versatile and Effective Vacuum Cleaner.
Compared to Vacuum cleaners I’ve owned before (including Dyson, Henry, and even the very expensive Kirby – which I still use for the car, but far too heavy for the home) it has the best suction, and is incredibly versatile.
Very easy to set up and use, and with one flick of a button, the main part detaches, and the foot can reach under most furniture, including beds.
The negatives are not deal breakers, but should be mentioned:
(i) Needs to be emptied a few times if you vacuum a 2/3 bedroom home (and we do ours every week)
(ii) Some of the attachments fit as if they are for a different model, but the do fit, and stay on.
(iii) The foot could have done with being a couple of inches wider, and this affects the balance.
(iv) The lead is actually a bit longer than some other makes, but could have been 2 Metres longer to avoid having to unplug for different rooms.
The advert is accurate, which is quite rare, and the quality of the vacuum cleaner’s build is very good.
The price is very good for what you get, and in terms of performance, it would be hard to beat (it literally pulls the fitted carpet up off the floor on full setting!). Highly recommended.

Dyson v Shark
Have been using a Dyson for many years however just fed up with them breaking down all the time. So thought it was time to try a different model. Have to admit very happy with the Shark. The suction power is way more than the Dyson. The only downside of this is the capacity could be more as have to empty it more often. Also not as movable as the Dyson ball. But would I go back to a Dyson? No Shark has my vote.

Lovely hoover! Worth every penny!
Brilliant product easy to use uprig. And can take off section so you hold it. Only bad points I would say is that the electric wire personally I think is not long enough and the dust waste could be a little bigger other than that really super happy with it! So easy to use different parts and easy to put it back together aswell!

Love it!
We always had a Dyson in the past but they all had the same problem. Long hair would get wrapped around the brush preventing it from collecting more hair and dirt. Taking the brush apart and cutting the hair with scissors helped but it’s neither a quick, easy or pleasant task. With time the hair must have got to the parts of the brush you can’t access and it stopped spinning. That was the reason we decided to give this vaccum a go. First of all, its got a good succion but at the same time it’s pretty quiet. The lift away feature is really handy when vaccuming areas which are not as easy to access such as the stairs or the car but what I love about it the most is that we vaccumed the whole house and there’s not a single hair in the brush! It is corded but I suppose it’s a good compromise for not having to deal with horrendous hair wrapped around the brush.

Best vacuum I've used
I am absolutely enamored with this vacuum cleaner. I didn’t know that a household appliance could make a person so happy lol. My previous vacuum cleaner was a Henry and I absolutely hated it. It was annoying to move around, the hose was too short which meant I was always bent over, the cord tangled- it was generally just the most annoying appliance I have ever used. I saw this vacuum cleaner on a deal and thought I would give it a go, the reviews were good and it looked slick and like it would tick all the boxes for me.

It works so well and it is so so nice to use after using a Henry for several years. It pulled so much dust out of my carpets it was disgusting. Since purchasing this vacuum I have noticed the overall level of dust in my home has reduced significantly. When we used to clean the house within a few hours you could see dust settling on glass surfaces etc that is no longer the case and I’ve only vacuumed my full home about five times since purchase.

I thought the anti-hair wrap technology was a gimmick but actually it works really well. I have nearly waist length hair that gets everywhere and I was forever having to take scissors to my Henry to cut the hair out of it. When I check the head for this vacuum cleaner there is nothing wrapped around either of the brushes, which is fantastic.

It is slightly heavier but it is easy to manoeuvre, it doesn’t feel heavy unless you actually lift it up. The lift away and all the different ways you can use the vacuum cleaner make cleaning your home a slick and easy job. I love that I can vacuum the floors and then pull out the handlr to do the baseboards and easily lift off the canister to clean other places all with the click of a button.

I really can’t say enough good things about this vacuum cleaner and I would wholeheartedly recommend it. Saying that I wouldn’t pay 300 for it, it might be worthwhile but that just seems like a lot of money for a vacuum to me. I purchased this for around 179 and it feels like an excellent value for money at that price.

The best cleaner I have had for years
After reading a few reviews about how heavy this cleaner was and how the suction was so strong it was not capable of running over carpets to clean, I bought this item with reservations. I must say, however, that I have been delighted with its performance so far. It is heavier than a cordless cleaner but certainly not too heavy for me. Using it on stairs is just a little harder but the detachable item helps.
The suction is very good and not difficulty for me to manoeuvre, even though I’m in my 70s and have one long pile carpet. The container is a little small but not a problem as I empty it after each use.
This is, by far, the best cleaner I have had for a long time and, as long as it carries on performing this way for some years to come, I would certainly recommend it.

Anti-hair wrap really works
I have been very impressed with this hoover. It has good suction, easy to manoeuvre, simple to use the tools and lift away mechanism and also very easy to empty as the dust bucket opens top and bottom. I was sceptical about the anti-hair wrap, but with two daughters with very long hair I have not had to clean the brushes.

Amazing!
I cannot fault this, it is fantastic. We have two cats and our old hoover was struggling to cope. This machine is brilliant easy to put together and use. The option to lift away is very useful for stairs. My 12 year old son will happily hoover the whole house on a regular basis using this vacuum so I would recommend for that reason alone .
The only slight niggle I have is there is no storage for attachments or if there is we have not discovered it.

Three best vacuum cleaner that I've had
My Shark has just been delivered and I have vacuumed the whole house. It’s a bit heavier than I expected but it’s very vanouverable. The light shows up the dust a great addition but the dust collector is a bit small.
I will willingly recommend the Shark.
