Tried to buy this in Currys. Didn’t have it in stock and didn’t know when it would be back in. Paid 10 less on amazon! This hoover is great. Gets everywhere I need it to and found dirt the old Dyson missed! Glad I bought i
Amazing!
The dust this has brought out of my Carpet just from one use is unbelievable. Really easy to assemble, feels and looks like an expensive product . Really impressed with this it’s the best hoover I’ve ever had. Emptying was easy. Nice and lightweight to push around.
Superb vacuum
My wife loves at first she said handle was too tall but when in use it wasn’t it has a very long cable lead plug it in the kitchen hoover then the hall into the lounge up to patio window still has spare cable very good length
Will never get another brand
I have a shark at home and I bought this one for the caravan as I needed the compatibility and the size of a cordless but needed it to plug in as I find cordless hoover have less power, tried it for the first time and it was amazing does exactly what I bought for !
Great value for money.
We bought this based on a Which Best Buy and fully agree with everything said. It’s light and very manoeuvrable with the only downside being the size of the dust container.
Makes hoovering almost a dream 😻
I had been using a fairly old Dyson ball machine but decided to change. Dyson’s all seemed expensive and my better half has one of their battery uprights [short running time and dodgy battery]. As I appeared to have a large number of these things in my wall [I think they’re called power sockets] I opted for this plugin Shark. OMG what a difference – great suction, bends in half [unlike me] to go under the beds, lights, long lead, and lots of attachments. I wish I have moved over sooner. The only small downside is that you have to empty the dust “bag” a few times, but that is easy enough. I’m sure that there are Dyson’s that do a similar job but not for the price of the Shark.

This is my second Shark and the only make of Vacuum cleaner in my whole life that I have bought “on repeat”. Since I bought my first one they have redesigned the dust collector and it is definitely an improvement, the nozzle has also improved. So satisfactory to see the dust mounting up. I like it because it is very light to haul around and gets into tight places without too much effort. It is so versatile because you can split it to be a long wand (ideal for cobwebs) or again for a hand held stair cleaner or awkward places. Although it has a flex which may put some off I don’t find that a problem. The dust catcher is a bit small but at least it reminds you to empty it frequently and at the same time check for obstacles. I love mine and wouldn’t change it!
Insanely clean!
In terms of cleaning this is head and shoulders above any other vacuum cleaner I’ve ever used. The weight is nothing too. Things I’m not crazy about (but knew before buying) are….the dust collector is TINY. After not having a proper cleaner for a few weeks I did one 3m x 3m carpeted room today and had to empty it 5 times!I appreciate the carpet was dirty, and I have cats, but even when I get the house fully clean again I suspect the weekly clean is gonna take 3 or 4 empties for a 4 bed house. Btw emptying is a doddle into a plastic bag, takes maybe 10 secs tops. The other things I’m going to have to get used to….it won’t stand up on its own unless folded down and I really miss the auto cable rolling up thing on my last hoover.
However, and it’s a big however, the cleaning results are SUPERB. I have no hesitation recommending this cleaner as long as you know about its nuances.
I like the, small dust collector which encourages emptying each use.
I like that hairs collect around a cone so not to clog the roller. So far no smells coming from the cleaner may be because of the canister container which has a nice smell. Efficient cleaner and not too expensive. I recommend it to my grandson.
Best hoover I’ve purchased
Love this hoover ! Lightweight , easy to use , easy to manoeuvre. Can be emptied easily and packs away nicely taking up minimum space . Happy with my purchase . Lights up so dust can easily be seen even in dark
I had no idea how bad my previous hoover was till I got this. The first time I used it the collection section was full. I had only just used my old hoover too. The anti hair wrap is brilliant, it just collects around a little cone in the collection bit and you just take it off. Nice and lightweight and very easy to manoeuvre. Brilliant.
Very light and easy to use.
Very good, light and easy to use cleaner. Not too noisy. The wide anti wrap pet attachment works on both hard and carpet floors, you need to press a button on top of the unit to transition between them,but simple. The only negative is that the dust container is a tad small so needs very frequent emptying, not helped as removing the container from the device is quite fiddly. Otherwise quick and easy to empty into an indoor rubbish bin. The detachable suction unit makes vacuuming staircase and mattresses much easier. Overall very pleased with it.
Pros:
– Good suction, cleans well
– Easy to empty, small container for dirt but surprisingly large capacity
– Easy to manouvre
– Loooooong cord, no need to change plugs while you move around the house
– Fun to use!
Cons:
– You have to unwind the whole cord to use, so not easy to set up/put away quickly
– Hard to use in handheld mode as the angle is fixed, I would NOT recommend unless you have excellent mobility
– Heavy unless you have good upper body strength
– Small vacuum head, takes longer to vacuum because you cannot cover as much ground at once.
Overall, very pleased with my purchase, but I would not recommend for anyone who has any kind of strength or mobility problems. In hindsight, I think the cordless version may be worth the extra money as it would avoid several of the cons of this version.
Very Efficie
I got this to replace my pneumatic Harry which was getting too heavy and hurting my back. This Shark is way lighter, folds down pretty small so space saving. Really picks up the dog’s hair and makes cleaning a doddle especially with the ‘flexology’. I Love it.
Needed a new hoover & after seeing an advert of sharks I thought I would give this a go. Its not heavy, easy to use and takes up little space in my cupboard when not in use. Only down side is needs emptied everytime it is used sometimes twice. I would also like it to have a wee stand or something that can be pulled down from it so it stands up ok, as I have it leaning against a wall
Not bad little sucker, purchased this for me mum, she’s getting on and I don’t want her bending over picking up hair (I swear she’s molting) problem is, she’s had it for a month now and it’s not picking up all the hair even after I cleaned it out for her. Which makes me out of pocket saying that, it sucks well apparently.
Back to shopping around for something that actually does what it says on the tin.
Ok…..I can’t believe I’m leaving a review for a vacuum cleaner BUT……this is freaking awesome! I have mobility issues and have struggled for years with upright vacuums, (Dyson, Vax etc) then tried changing to the stick vacuums, which although much lighter and easier for me to use just didn’t seem to do the same job. I had been looking at one of these babies for a while as I really hoped the fact it was mains powered made a difference, but the clincher came in the form of the ability to release a catch on the ‘stick’ part to allow it to easily go under beds/sofas/chairs/tables….even the dogs!
It arrived late yesterday, so after assembling it I waited until this morning to try it out….and it has completely blown me away! The dirt bin-which is admittedly a little on the small side-was full just from a quick pass over one rug in the living room! The suction power is so much better than any of the battery stick vacs I’ve tried which just goes to show how much is lost by going cordless.
We have 2 rescue greyhounds so although they do shed it’s short fur that really digs in to fabrics and rugs. I’ve always resorted to hand brushing the stairs carpet as nothing really got them up, but this is light and manoevereable enough that I can use it and it really gets the stuck in hairs out.
I also love that it folds down for storage, and stands on it’s own! I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard a crash from somewhere in the house only to find it’s the stick vac falling over-even from it’s ‘wall mount’
So…..I might just build a shrine to this God of vacuum cleaners….aaaannd that’s me being committed for having a weird relationship with my household electrical appliances.
It arrived this afternoon. Packaging was all recyclable being cardboard and brown paper bags so that was REALLY nice. Easy to assemble (though I did watch an unboxing video yesterday). When it’s folded it’s much dinkier than I thought and I’m delighted it fits very easily into my small under stairs cupboard. When I started hoovering, it’s not noisy and is rather a low tone (rather than the strident noise of my old vacuum) so maybe the cat can learn to live with it and stop dashing outside whatever the weather when I turned the old vacuum on. When I hoovered the living room it picked up all the bits on my carpet and laminate very well. I used the handheld head to do the stairs and found it quite light to manoeuvre (im over 60 and have arthritis in my hands) I used the mini pet brush head accessory I bought as extra as it worked better on the stair carpet than the supplied accessory brush (I’ll leave that to do sofa and soft furnishings). The cable is very long and I could go up the stairs and do the landing as well. One slight negative is that the hoover head was quite high so it wouldn’t pass under my sofa (but the husband says he will put raised feet on the sofa, bless him. So in all this stick vacuum ticked nearly all of my boxes. I never buy appliances without checking for independent reviews by Which? They rated this as a Best Buy and I do think it is a great little machine
5.0 out of 5 stars best vaccum i have ever purchased
i usually buy miele vaccum brand but they are now too expensive, so tried this shark and it doesn’t disappoint my carpets are like new and this vacuum does all the work for u. 5 stars in my opinio
4.0 out of 5 stars Great for small homes
Great because you can fold it in half, especially if short of space.
good cleaner and light weight to use.
Downside is that you cannot stand it upright, have to lean it on the table.
If it was not for this design fault I would have awarded 5 stars.
4.0 out of 5 stars Very heavy
Was so excited to get this hoover,but it’s far to heavy for me to push,I’m disabled poor mobility.so sadly had to return.4 stars given as to heavy
5.0 out of 5 stars Love Shark
This is my second Shark. I really like them. I bought my first one because I was finding it difficult to carry my old hoover upstairs especially in a house with 3 floors. I wil say this one is a little heavier than the first one and more effort is needed when using it. Still a great hoover.
5.0 out of 5 stars I love this Hoover!
Such a good hoover! My partner was sceptical the anti hair wrap wouldn’t work but it does! The suction is fantastic, when it arrived I hoovered our lounge with our old Sebo and then immediately did it again with my new Shark and was amazed at how much more it collected in the dust chamber after I’d used our old hoover!
