I have had this vaccume for 3 years and I am only now thinkong about replacing as it smells like dog when I use it. Totally my fault. I am attempting to clean the hose and I bet that sorts the issue. No loss of suction. The thing about this is every part is replacable. detachable. It does every single thing. Stairs are simple. I will never own another brand of vaccume. This is the best buy I made in the last 5 years.
I recently purchased the Shark Corded Upright Vacuum Cleaner, specifically the Pet Model with Anti Hair Wrap Technology (NZ801UKT), and I have to say, this vacuum exceeded all my expectations! If you have pets or struggle with maintaining a clean home due to pet hair, this vacuum is a game-changer.
Key Features I Loved:
Anti Hair Wrap Technology: This is hands-down the best feature for pet owners. The brush roll is designed to prevent hair from tangling around it. I used to spend so much time cleaning pet hair out of my previous vacuum, but with this Shark model, the hair just doesn’t wrap around the brush. It’s such a relief!
DuoClean Technology: The dual brush heads are fantastic. One is soft for hard floors, and the other is more robust for carpets. It switches seamlessly between surfaces without losing suction, making it incredibly versatile.
Powered Lift-Away: This feature allows you to detach the main unit, turning it into a more portable, handheld vacuum. It’s perfect for cleaning stairs, furniture, and hard-to-reach spots like under the couch or bed.
Strong Suction Power: With 750W of power, this vacuum has no problem picking up everything from pet hair to dust and crumbs. It works particularly well on carpets, giving them a deep clean.
Anti-Allergen Complete Seal: I have allergies, so this feature is a huge bonus for me. It traps 99.9% of dust and allergens inside the vacuum, making the air in my home feel noticeably cleaner after vacuuming.
LED Headlights: I didn’t think I’d care about this, but the headlights on the vacuum head are so helpful! They illuminate any dirt, dust, or pet hair you may have missed, especially in dimly lit areas like under furniture.
Long Cord (8m): The 8-meter cord is long enough to reach across several rooms without needing to unplug and replug constantly. It saves so much time during cleaning sessions.
Pet-Specific Attachments: It comes with two attachments, including one designed specifically for picking up pet hair. The tools are easy to use and work great on upholstery.
What Could Be Improved:
Dustbin Capacity (0.83L): While the 0.83L dustbin is fine for everyday cleaning, it can fill up quickly, especially if you have a lot of pet hair or larger spaces. I do find myself emptying it more frequently than I’d like.
Weight: It’s not the lightest vacuum on the market, and while it’s manageable, it may be a little heavy for some users, particularly when using it in handheld mode for longer periods.
Final Thoughts:
Overall, the Shark Corded Upright Vacuum Cleaner (NZ801UKT) is a fantastic investment, especially for pet owners or those with allergies. The Anti Hair Wrap and DuoClean technologies make it incredibly efficient on various surfaces, while the lift-away feature adds versatility. A couple of minor inconveniences aside, this vacuum is powerful, effective, and makes cleaning so much easier. Highly recommend!
Prior to buying this I had a Dyson, which basically picked up dirt and dust and very neatly deposited it a couple of feet away – not the most endearing characteristic for what’s supposed to be a top-level product. I used my Dyson to ‘clean’ the house over the weekend and then took delivery of the Shark on the Monday. The photo above shows how much dust the Shark had collected after 20 seconds’ use on a rug – which left me wondering what the other one had been doing to justify it’s space in my cleaning cupboard. The Shark has such strong suction I’m going to have to be careful not to use it when I’m within six feet of the cat. If you’re not sure whether to choose a Dyson or a Shark, I’d say there’s no contest!
Finally took the plunge and bought a Shark vacuum after wanting one for a while and I wasn’t disappointed! Opted for the corded pet and anti hair wrap version after reading reviews and how much more powerful it is than the battery. It arrived on time, was easy to put together and in no time I was vacuuming away! The picture is of the first clean of just one room, just to say I had only vacuumed the night before with my old pal Henry Hoover and I was shocked and at the same time impressed with how much it collected!! The cord length I found absolutely fine, and the suction is awesome it made my carpets look new and left those sexy little lines in which I love! I would say it’s slightly on the heavy side but then I had a Henry before who just used to follow me around with his little eyes watching so if you’re used to an upright it probably wouldn’t be any different. The attachments are standard and do the job, I love the way the vacuum can come apart so is easy to carry and made things like the stairs a breeze to do! Emptying is so easy, one click of a button and boom it’s done! One teeny thing is it’s difficult to manoeuvre around tight corners but I think I’ll get used to that the more I use it. Overall I think it’s brilliant! I did buy on a fantastic deal so was a great price, would I feel the same having paid full price? Yes I think I would but who doesn’t love a bargain!!
We bought this having used a G-Tech pet hoover for the last 4 years, and I wish I had bought this sooner. We regularly hoover our stairs and hall, and I thought they were clean. I was shocked by how much this picked up when I used it for the first time. It really did a great job of lifting long hair from the carpet that I didn’t even know was there.
The anti hair wrap feature worked perfectly. As mentioned, the hoover lifted a lot of long hair from the carpet and had no hair build up on the roller once I finished.
The switch allowing a quick change between hard floors and carpets is a great feature. The 8m cord is also great for stairs and halls.
Really impressed!
This vacuum is very sturdy, a bit heavy but you need this if you want a solid and powerful vacuum that you can keep for the next few years. It’s very easy to use and to clean, the choice of accessories is amazing and they are all very useful, the cord length is quite long, and the suction is the best, my carpet has never been that clean! And it doesn’t take much space I think. So if you want a vacuum that actually works, lasts and is easy to use, get a Shark!
My trusted Vax has given me almost 20 years of service , but it was starting to fall apart and seems to not be picking up the cat hair anymore,which was everywhere.
The Shark was on offer ,so I bought it. cat hair gone.
So far so good . Getting used to it .
Love the fact there was no plastic packaging .
Easy to put together.
It’s easy to empty the dust container.
Easy to take apart when needed.
Lightweight.
I got this style because of the dual brush for hair and pet hair .Perfect.
I will need to see how it goes as the hoover gets used. So far I am glad I bought it and it was on offer.. Result
THREE MONTHS ON…..
I think after having used this hoover for three months ,It has to be one of the best hovers I have ever used and owned.
A few wee things that it does not get 5 stars , Top heavy , container to small, are two I can think of . I have learnt to work with it, The container I empty after every use and the top heavy part ,I have found a way of working around that too. On the whole this hoover is amazing. Well worth the money
Really good hoover, cleans excellently and great value for money compared to Similar models, overall love i
It’s a super hoover, very versatile and all the attachments work well. Only minor issue, for me, it’s quite heavy to manoeuvre when cleaning.
Everything about this vacuum functions perfectly. It’s great the designers have put function before form. Manoeuvrability, power, adaptability, etc all faultless. I won’t be going cordless again.
This is picking up cat hairs no problem, not too heavy eithe
Love it, got this to replace my vax pet, now we have 8 huskies who shed pretty much all the time. This super machine tackles that no problem and easy to use tools etc.
Would highly recommend for pet owners
I’ve gone through a few vacuums and I have to say this is the best. It’s light, easy to steer and has great suction. Its also great for pet hair. Definitely worth the buy.
What more can I say…this is a fantastic hoover. Although slightly heavier than a Dyson the suction and power is superior. Really easy to use and comes apart for doing stairs and high up places. Best purchase
My previous 4 hoovers have been Dysons. A friend suggested Shark. So, I went for it.
My goodness! If it was possible to be in love with a hoover Actually,okay, I admit it, I am a little in love with this hoover. Considering that I had hoovered only two days before, this hoover was full of hair in no time at all. I have one cat. The Dyson obviously hadn’t been doing it’s job.
Really powerful suction. It was a joy to hoover.
Excellent how you can take it from the upright stand and carry it while you hoover the stairs.
There is a downside..?it’s HEAVY. You need to be fit and strong to carry it around.
Overall though 10/10 from me
Cleaning up dog hair very good. Also I like the way it cleans carpet and laminate flooring equally well.
We’ve had a few cordless cleaners and either rubbish batteries or suction poor. We went for the corded shark and it’s great.
I bought this product for my son. He has a golden lab. who is shedding hair so this vacuum has been excelle
We are onto our 2nd Shark upright vacuum (only needed replacing as our original broke when it was knocked off the top of the stairs) and I wouldn’t hesitate in getting another. We have 3 boys, 2 dogs and 2 cats so we test the living daylights out of our vacuums. We have tried all the usual big names before; Miele, Dysons, Henrys etc, and this one is the clear winner for us. It’s really light compared to others with comparible performance. The ability to remove the tank and almost use like a handheld is great for cleaning sofas, cars, stairs etc. Suction power is crazy strong, which would be to it’s detriment if it didn’t have a release slider on the top of the handle to adjust it as it’ll stick itself to the floor and be really difficult to use otherwise. Can only assume other reviews saying this is a negative haven’t found the slider. Customer service with Shark is also very impressive too as I had an issue with the button to turnthe floor bar on and off and they just kept sending me parts with no issue until problem was sorted. Highly recommend.
Very good vacuum cleaner lots of little things on the cleaner which help
Excellent at picking up our border collie’s fur as she moults a lot.
Great value for money. It is probably the best hoover I have used.
Picks up my hair from the carpet wonderfully, so far hair has not stuck around the roller.
This vacuum is brilliant for picking up hairs and dirt from the carpet. The option to use as a handheld is great too.
Really good suction and anti hair wrap works well.
I’ll start this one with the negative.. we bought this to replace our previous Shark that burned out after just 5 years. That’s a few years less than we’d have liked.
On the positive though. It’s the best cleaner we’ve ever had.
This one came a day after ordering and was very neatly packed. I was pleased to see that all packaging was cardboard or brown paper.. very nice indeed Shark! Even the accessories.
Once it was unpacked it was very easy indeed to put together.
Following that I gave the house a good clean. Once again it’s a brilliant cleaner. It gets up so much pet hair and grime. We have two cats and a small dog and it is does a brilliant job, filling up the dust tray every time.
Another winner from Shark.
We have some long pile carpets and we have struggled to find a vacuum cleaner that is easy to use on such carpets. Most do a good job on floor and short pile carpets. This one seems to do everything and is easy to manoeuvre. light weight and with the detachable unit works well on stairs. A great purchase.
Cord holding hose in place won’t stay clipped in place on handle.
Very well built. Operating slightly different to standard cleaners but simple when you get used to it. I like the detachable cylinder it makes cleaning awkward areas easier. It’s harder to push than my old Dyson but I find if set for long pile it’s easier especially if you go with the pile and not against it. My carpet looks brighter – must have been hiding a lot of dust! All in all very pleased with it.
I’ve previously bought cordless vacuums Bosch and Vax. They haven’t did the job I needed. I live alone so there is not a lot of traffic on my rugs but they were never looking how I would like them.
I received this vacuum today and can’t believe I could get so excited about the results. I read a review once when the lady said she emptied the cylinder 3 times on her first shot. I actually filled the cylinder once and I only cleaned 2 large rugs and a hall carpet.
I will say it is heavy to carry upstairs so wouldn’t suit an elderly person (although I’m actually in My sixties myself).
Love i
The cleaner deep cleans carpets. The stair attachment is excellent. Suction is good but ceases altogether if the yellow rotary brush jams. The bearings on the rotary brush are not accessible and are vulnerable to damage/seizure when used in very gritty places reducing suction to zero. A friend returned her Shark vacuum cleaner when she was unable to release the seized rotary brush after using the normal floor cleaner on a very dirty area.
It has good suction power but larger things can get stuck. So we have indoor bunnies and the hay gets stuck, takes a while to get it out. The cord is only 8m which I feel is a little short, my other vacuum is 10m which is much better. Anyway, this one is good, has headlights, good suction, easy to steer, can feel slightly heavy until you get used to it. It’s a good vacuum, not great for indoor rabbits though.
I actually came on to buy a Dyson like my partner but saw the reviews for this and thought “why not”. I love my Henry and vacuumed before using the Shark to see how effective and I had to empty it twice!
Power:
Awesome power, what it picks up is amazing and my partner says it’s better than her dyson.
Ease of use,
Loads of ways of using to suit its use and my bad back!
I never one for writing a review on items even when they are good or bad but this vacuum is amazing! I have had previous big brands vacuums and they haven’t come close to this the power and suction is amazing it effortlessly glides along the carpets and floors but the suction is fabulous looking at the carpet it doesn’t look dirty but the shark finds it and i don’t have the issue of cleaning hair from it which is amazing. I was sceptical after reading reviews saying it was heavy as my wrists are weak but it’s not at all its just your typical weight of any other big name brands I have had and i have no issues at all. Overall fabulous and I have been telling everyone about it. Definitely worth the money!
In the battle between dog and carpet, this Shark vacuum was the reinforcements I needed.
It’s transformer-like abilities make stairs a doddle and getting into tight spaces is easy.
If you own a dog, get one. If you own an especially hairy hamster, get one. If you’re comically hairy, get one.
The filters look a lot cheaper to replace than Dysons too.
The only alternative to owning this vacuum is shaving everything that moves in your house and nobody has the time for that.
The machine has brilliant suction and is adaptable being able to reach high with the right tools and stairs with the lift off capability , however it is too heavy for me and I find the manoeuvrability awkward ! I Ihave health issues and have a lady cleaner who recommended Shark but even she says it’s much heavier than her own older model .
I have always used Shark hoovers, but never had one to tackle pet hair. Since getting 2 long haired kittens and my current hoover finally wearing out, I bought this one.
It’s the best buy ever. Excellent, Excellent ,Excellent. Couldn’t believe how much cat hair and fluff it picked up off the rugs. Also Excellent on my wooden flooring.
If you Intend getting a new hoover and have pets , get this one.
The suction on the upright Shark far exceeds more old Dyson (which was a cylinder model).
Other reviews comment that the Shark is heavy, I think it is lighter than the Dyson, I gave weak wrists but don’t find it a problem to carry upstairs.
It comes apart & goes back easily for using just the tank & hose the clean the stairs.
My carpets look so much cleaner, I wish I’d of purchased it earlier!
The amount of dust it collected is amazing
Works well, good suction lifts all the dust/muck. However, having had cordless for several years I find it so heavy and difficult to move about, I realise it is me who has weakened using my cordless ones and my age, I will keep though as it is really efficient. I just hope I get used to it. Fortunately I live in a bungalow although to do stairs seems rather easier.
Only started using, so based on a month. Very well put together with clear instructions as to how to set up. I like the settings for hard floors, thin pile and thick pile carpets. It is easy to take apart and clean as necessary. A reasonable dust bucket which is very easy to empty. The suction is fantastic and my carpets and floors looked visibly cleaner afterwards. I have dogs and have not had any trouble with pet hair. It picks that up without difficulty. It comes with a brushing tool, a bayonet and a pet-cleaning tool. The last is fantastic for the stairs. It is corded, so no loss of power and need for re-charging. While not being cordless might be seen as a disadvantage, the “lift away” more than makes up for this and makes cleaning the stairs easy. I am impressed with how adaptable this machine is. It comes apart nicely to allow for different lengths of wands etc. I do think that all the annoying things that happen have been thought about and put into the design to make is easier. I get the impression it is built to last, but in our current commercial climate of not building things to last and compromising on quality for cheapness, I will not hold my breath. I would recommend.
This is fabulous. Out of the box, fixed together in 4 clicks, and ive arthritis so didnt expect to manage that. Plugged it in and straight away knew how bad my old Oreck had been operating. My cat couldnt wait to lay on the rug and roll around. He was happy as well!!. Yes I’m very happy with this machine. It’s very good looking as well and have named it Handsome!!!. Well I’m an oldie and these things make me smile. And God don’t we need it in these depressing times. Yes very happy customer.
