Been looking for a vacuum debating their size, style and performance. Think I just found a perfect one. The vacuum is not that heavy to handle and main appliance turns very smoothly without effort. The only complain I would say the storage of the dust bin. But as a compact vacuum can’t ask for too much. Plus the dust bin is easy to take out and clean. Lastly the noise is not much of bother either. Great product. Suction of the vacuum it does what it said. You can’t really feel the heavy pull like the rest of the vacuum. But I can tell how much dust and fur picked up less than 5 mins already.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent suctio
Great product – bought this as my new cordless one was not doing the job. Was pleasantly surprised at how good this is – the suction is excellent, both as an upright and the hand held. Cleans my house brilliantly and cleaned my car after having dogs in and the results are outstanding.
5.0 out of 5 stars Don’t know how I’ve lived without a shark Revolutionised hoovering
Lightweight and easy to manoeuvre folds down small to store easy to empty easy to fit the well made tools that come with the hoover lovely long lead for continuous vacuuming marvellous
The vacuum folds very easily and has amazing suction and 2 different modes for tiles and carpet I found the carpet mode is fantastic as it sucked up so much dust I never knew was even there even on thick rugs it gets down and removes all little crumbs etc it is very easy to remove filters for cleaning and take out the contents although I found myself emptying the storage of sucked items every good clean around the house overall I would highly recommend
Vacume works well.
We have 3 dogs and 2 kids so used regularly.
Main issue is the size of the collection bin is very small. Can fill it in 2 rooms so slows you down. Could do with optional extra for an xl collection bin as it is removable for emptying.
Had to had the head replaced as kept stopping the brush bar. One call to shark and they sent replacement few days later. Excellent customer service.
I hated my old hoover not only was it heavy, it hurt my back, wouldn’t do my shaggy textured rug, even after 3 times of trying!!!!! I wanted an easy new one. Small but powerfull .I’ve gotta say this is a beautiful hoover..compact And cleverly put together but the POWER was amazing.My rug got the best clean it’s ever had , and omg it was disgusting pulled all My digs hairs up all old dust just brilliant. So happy and guys u can fold it down as I’ve seen lots of people saying it won’t stand right? It folds down lol but amazing
Do not buy this hoover. It is not anti hair wrap. I had to unclog it then hoover everywhere again. Then unclog again. So hoovering my house 3 times to get it clean. Spent more time cutting hair out of the roller than actually using it.
Contacted customer service at shark and they sent me a trouble shooting tip. Doesn’t work. 6 months on and it’s broken. I have dogs so this is why I got it.
Probably will be OK if you have no dogs no cats no kids that make a mess and you have a show home that you don’t actually live in.
Now I need to buy another hoover. Think I will stick to the Henry’s
Was in a real quandary about this purchase – especially having been a Miele and Dyson user for years. But I was looking for something lighter and easier to manoeuvre. Delighted to say it is a pleasure to use. I love the fact that it bends down easily to become half its size, making it very transportable (needed for job as housekeeper). I also love the fact that the waste bin is small so it definitely encourages you to empty after each use. I also love the flexibility of the floor sweeper part of the vacuum. with a simple twist, the machine gets round table legs and under units simply and powerfully. Only downside is the suction -dont get me wrong, the suction is more than adequate for my purpose – cleaning holiday lets – but I would love to feel the thing grabbing the carpet a little more! – somehow that would make me feel it really was great suction. Summary: Still very happy with it – love the look of it, love its ease of use and its lightness and portability – emptying it is the easiest I have ever owned. would definitely recommend. Goodbye Miele and Dyson.
Pro’s: Very compact and can be stored away with ease, great for picking up pet hair (self explanatory for the model), suction power is pretty good for the price, cable length is great so don’t have to keep unplugging to change rooms, very ease to clean filters and rollers if they do become full.
Cons: stair accessory is nearly useless as slows down significantly when pressure applied, dirt compartment very small so if you have a medium/large house this isn’t the greatest, about the same weight as our old upright vacuum cleaner, feels very flimsy and cheaply built especially where it folds to allow for storage so sceptical of it’s longevity.
overall a decent Vacuum cleaner for those just starting up in a small home, but could be better for the price being asked.
Primary reason to buy this was due to the rooms in 2 bedroom apartment have carpet and I wasn’t sure if battery powered vacuum cleaner will clean them enough and for how long.
5 on that there are a couple of improvements that I can suggest, which may not be related to its function but are annoying:
1. Cable is not retractable, huge disappointed as no matter how well you manuaver, it comes in the way since you can control how much should it be in open.
2. Can’t stand on its own, and considering bin size is small, you need it to stand when you’re going to empty the bin.
3. Small bin
Pro:
1. Duo rolling brush cleans carpet and floor well.
2. Handles hair pretty well without getting stuck often.
3. Powerful suction.
4. Well made other than the aforementioned design issues.
Shark vacuum
I’m so happy with my shark vacuum. Best vacuum I’ve ever had . It’s amazing
Anti hair wrap feature is groundbreaking!
On top of the anti hair wrap feature, this Shark model is also much more powerful than the previous model. Very pleased with the purchase!
It arrived today and I wanted to make sure that it was good as everyone has been talking about. I checked all the items and they seemed to be in a good condition well packed.
It has worked well for me as I needed something lighter so it does the job. It is quite amazing tool to have. So far so good I’ll know more in a month or 2 hopefully it should still work the same.
I’m disabled and cannot use a normal vacuum, was able to do rooms and stairs, really easily especially the longer flex. So easy to use and powerful.
I bought this as a gift for someone abroad, the pieces detach and can fit in a standard large suitcase, they were very happy with the suction of this vacuum cleane
Cracking little hoover, incredible cleaning power! Shame their is no flex hose with this model and when using the cleaner independent of the floor cleaning head, it can be a little heavy and unwieldly! Still superior to the Dysons I have owned.
Great power and compact. Does what it says and doesn’t wrap hair in the brush. Also the “flex” ability to get under furniture is very handy.
I wish it stood up on its own and had a dock of sorts for the attachments.
Nice to use, only thing is which is a bit weird to say but it takes 2 days to wrap the wire back up
Suction power is incredible. Did now think my carpets were dirty until I used this Shark (it was I believe seeing what it pulled up).
Really convenient to switch between floor and carpet mode.
Really nice and compact- stores well.
I problem at all with the cord. Would get this over a cordless any day due to the stronger suction and ability to last south out a recharge.
My house presents a challenge for any vacuum cleaner as I have a long haired dog and 2 long haired cats which shed endlessly. I already own a Shark lift away which deals with the hair superbly but due to my increasing age (I will be 80 in a few months) I now find it too heavy to push. My new Stratos is such a revelation. It’s fairly light and very easy to manoeuvre. It picks up anything and everything it comes across. I was apprehensive that the small collection bin would be a nuisance but I can hoover all of downstairs with space left in the bin,even though it has picked up every bit of hair and debris.If for whatever reason you are finding a big upright too difficult to manage I thoroughly recommend this vacuum. You won’t regret it.
I like the shark but I wish I bought the chord less one.I find after having used chordless the flex is annoying. The only other problem I find having small hands and having to span and press release buttons and pull the cylinder part out a bit difficul
After receiving this earlier and using for the first time, I’m very very impressed. Very easy to assemble and use, it’s much lighter than my previous Sharks, it reaches further under furniture than the previous ones too.
The negatives are, it doesn’t stand very well on its own,so it’s leaning against a wall currently, and there’s no where to store the very long cord.
I am going to add to this review in a few months as I’ve had mixed luck with the reliability of previous Sharks their life expectancy in my experience has been poorand I found the guarantee to be useless unfortunately.
(I went with Shark again despite those issues because when they do work, they’re fab, and they’re often on offer, so very well priced too)
Simply amazing thank you Shark
I am disabled and was finding my old vacuum so hard to use so I treated myself to this little beauty this covered my whole downstairs and was effortless to use .
The lead reaches from my patio to my front door so no more shifting plug sockets .
The amount of hair and dust it lifted was amazing.
So glad I read all the reviews before I bought as I know the wand one is definitely best for me and love the lights really help in darker areas .
I spent ages researching vacuum cleaners. It’s hard to pick one because you get such polar opposite reviews. I’m adding to the spectrum of reviews by saying I’m glad I bought this vacuum and would recommend it.
I decided on the corded version because I felt I didn’t want to chance the drop in suction and faff of the battery of the cordless.
You do get quite a bit of faff with the corded version mind, since the cord has to be constantly contended with. I would try the cordless next time for that reason and hopefully batteries will have come on even more in the next few years.
I chose the stick version because it looked like it would be lighter and the bendy aspect would come in handy. Both of this have proven to be true, it is much lighter than my previous vacuum and I can get under my settee and desk easily.
I was worried that the dust container would be too small but it has not proven to be a problem. I do have to empty it a few times if I do all of my average sized house in one go, but it’s much easier, quicker and less messy than my previous vacuum. Just click out and click back in. There’s also a gross satisfaction in seeing all the dust and hairs it has captured.
The suction of this is better than I expected. It feels like it’s not doing much because it is a lot lighter than my previous vacuum. I was barely able to drag that one across the carpet if it was on full suction. This one is easily pushed but the amount of crap it picks up is amazing. I’ve had it a few months now and I still say to my husband, ‘look at this, that’s just from the livingroom!’. Probably tmi, but there is only two of us and a cat living in my house and I can’t believe how much dirt falls to the floor in a week.
Anyway, the other thing I went for is the ati-hair wrap technology. Being a long- haired person, I frequently was to be found crouching on the floor cutting hair off the brushes of my previous vacuum. It was gross. This technology is a revelation. It absolutely works. I don’t understand anyone who says it doesn’t. I promise you it does. It doesn’t have a single hair on its brushes. They get wrapped around a cone in the dust compartment and part of the satisfaction of emptying it is seeing the cone of hair sliding into the bin.
The last thing that sold this vacuum to me is that it folds up and fits into my small vacuum cupboard. Though, along with the faffy cord, it is the only other annoying thing about this vacuum, because it can’t stand upright on its own unless you fold it over. But on the whole, it is worth these faffs to get a vacuum that is light, maneuverable, has good suction and is easy to empty and maintain.
Brillia
I like it as it, it folds to half it’s size, it’s great for my tourer, it is compact and great suction specially with the bits that gather at the front door, hard to reach areas
Dose not do what it says
Thought a shark would be amazing.NOT suction is useless and the wrap around hair is rubbish would not recommend this to anyone
It's very well made as compared to the other big company.
I really like the solid build quality, extremely robust and the ability to be able to use the ‘knee joint’ allowing easy access under low items like the sofa. The suction is great and being mains powered you dont have the annoying battery issues. I was surprised at how well it’s made compared to the cordless from another well known make made in Malaya company we currently have. Very happy with it.
Best vacuum I've had !
Totally love this vacuum, lots of suction and easy to clean .Great for our house as we have 2 cats .It’s amazing how much hair was lifted on my first use ! Only downside is, its top heavy and won’t stand upright . Best purchase I’ve made . I was so fed up with the cheap and nasty plastic of @Hoover vacuum cleaners . Would highly recommend this model
Fantastic
I love the suction on this hoover and it’s so light and easy to use.
Powerful and effective
This vacuum is really good. I thought the one I owned was doing the job but clearly not with the amount of dust and dirt this lifts out. Very easy to store and tuck away, in my case under a work top. Not too heavy to use or difficult to manoeuvre. Great for cleaning car, stairs etc. I cannot give it enough praise and would say to anyone it’s excellent, particularly purchasing when on offer.
Amazing
I thought my last hoover was good, but due to diminishing performance I replaced with this one. I was astounded by how much it collected when I tried it in one room to try it out and instantly did the entire house!!! Oh my goodness!!!
Quick and easy to use
Good suction power. Vaccum cleaning has become easier and quicker. Works good on both carpet and wood flooring. The only downside is the dirt container fills up too quickly and needs to be emptied a few times (shouldn’t be a problem if you’re vaccuming one room).
Way better than the res
Well-built and seems sturdy. Have had several stick cleaners which have been rubbish, and this one is far and away the best. Suction is super whether on hard floors or carpets. Very easy to empty. Handle folds down for easy storage. Amazingly long cord. It’s not the lightest but I like that because it’s sturdy. Forget the rest of the stock cleaners and buy a Shark. You won’t be disappointed.
Seems to do a good job.
The corded cleaner does a good job good suction. 4 stars because I already have a battery Shark stick. In the design stage the Ninja engineers in their wisdom made the attachments on mains model non-compatable with battery stick models. Therefore if you wanted a powered stair brush, another purchase is required. Bit greedy. Sorry will not play that game, will manage without! Other than that alls excellent.
A handy little corded vacuum cleane
We bought this shark corded vacuum to replace our previous shark that had seen better days. This model is the one that hinges on the middle. On initial use we found it picked up very well and once we worked out how to empty it found it quick and convenient to use. We have found that the central forward folding hinge ” could” be it’s Achilles heel in that it feels loose when pushing the vac to and fro and could eventually give out. Unlike other larger Shark vacuums there is no facility to store attachments on the appliance itself, so a handy box or shelf in your cupboard is a must. Much more reliable than a cordless in my opinion. I gave it four stars based on lack of appliance storage and confusing hinge set up.
Great product for the price.
Most features of this cleaner are brilliant. It’s easy to use – one button press to change from hard floor to carpet, and simple to empty and store. It is very compact and powerful, picking up a lot of dust every clean. It’s also light and versatile, which is ideal for using it on the stairs and to clean the car.
The only reason it hasn’t been given 5stars is due to the brush head returning to the vertical position too often when cleaning, if you don’t angle it fully. The cord is also a nusiance to wind away but as the hand held system is so light, making it retractable would not be possible.
The anti hair wrap feature is really effective and does exactly what it says.
Great Power, small waste cup a nuisance.
I love the increase in power over my previous cordless, not Sharp, cleaner. Wish I had been brave and tried the sharp cordless stick as going back to a corded stops me from just grabbing it daily. I still use my previous cordless stick as a quick use for little cleans.
I find the waste cup very small and a nuisance, but my carpet is disintegrating, so that’s a bit unfair. It is small in comparison to other makes though.
Overall pleased with it but will be happier when carpet changed to wood floors.
Exactly what I wanted
I really wanted a lightweight vac, most of them are cordless which I’m not interested in. This one is nice and light weight, I’m pregnant so using it doesn’t pull my back in. I can easily carry it around the house, the suction is really good which I’m surprised about, picks up every piece of dust.
lovely hoove
i bought this to get the dog hairs uo from my stairs it takes some up but not all i still have to go up the stairs and landing with a thing i bought to use to get fluff og clothing it is brass and it gets all the dog hairs up then i go over it again with the hoover and it does take more up, i really didn’t want to do the stairs twice but i still have to, but ime glad i bought it.
Very neat vacuum. More powerful than it sounds.
I bought this to replace my Dyson roller ball upright as I couldn’t bring myself to pay for an upgrade. I am so glad I chose this. It works really well, is lightweight, folds away nicely and has a long cord. Love the headlights and it is really easy to empty.
Read the newer reviews - good product!
I was a bit 50/50 about purchasing one of these as some of the other reviews are talking about these Shark Vacuums being heavy/not sucking up hair/getting blocked with hair/not fitting together properly. I can only assume that these reviews were of an older model.
This review is for the HZ500UK model (in purple if that matters), it comes carefully packed with the basic two attachments (one for edges and one with a brush for stairs). The two attachments slide over the end of the main vacuum whereas the main brush/roller attachments has a special socket to clip into and provide power. This attachment is very secure and I can’t see it being damaged with normal use.
I have a partner with very long hair (right down to her lower back) and a cat which sheds hair constantly, they have conspired to kill a Dyson, a Hoover and several Amazon Basic Vacuums in the past.
I ran the Shark around the whole house and had to empty the dust/hair compartments perhaps 5-6 times, there were literally handfulls of hair coming out of it (shows how poor a job the poor Amazon Basic Vacuum was doing!). At this point I checked the rollers and found two(!) hairs wrapped around it.
We’ve had this nearly a month now and it continues to clean very well. The only downsides as far as I am concerned are that when you are cleaning it doesn’t stand up by itself so you have to rest it on something (not a huge deal) and I don’t think the suction on the brush attachment is particularly strong.
I like i
Waited a couple of weeks to get a good feel of it. I’m a long standing Dyson user & im not here to knock Dyson. My first Dyson was a small ball upright but the hose didn’t reach far enough up the stairs & I had to balance the actual machine on the stairs. So, my next one was a large ball upright which did the job but eventually I couldn’t manoeuvre it because it was so heavy. Not being a fan of cordless models made it difficult to continue as a Dyson customer as they only do cordless now ( not a good move Dyson). And so to Shark. This model ticked all the boxes. A long cord means I don’t have to keep changing sockets, the main head is bigger than normal stick models but still very manoeuvrable and it’s also a nifty little hand held too, great for the stairs. In other reviews I noted that it was a bit top heavy & as such doesn’t ” stand up” on its own like an upright. But, it’s not an upright, it’s a stick and sticks don’t stand up on their own.
Downsides? Yes, perhaps the suction isn’t as great as the big ball Dyson, but it’s comparable to the small ball. The dust container needs emptying more often, but really, how difficult is that?
All in all, I’m more than happy with it, especially the price which was 179 compared to 600 latest Dyson stick. No brainier really.
Even better than expected
The vacuum cleaner looks impressive. The suction is better than anticipated.
I purchased because it was recommended for pet lovers with problems of hair and vacuum cleaners not being able to cope. The shark was amazing I have two very hairy dogs and it coped incredibly well.
Only one small niggle, the dust collection bin fills up very quickly and has to be emptied frequently, but a small price to pay for such amazing suction and performance.
Well done shark.
Brilliant suction, for long hair and cat fu
Good quality, sturdy but not too heavy. Suction good for long hair and pet fu
Hoovering has never been so easy!
I chose this for my wedding anniversary present from my in laws (take what you want from that!) I wanted a cordless fancy easy hoover that I’d seen on all the adverts and Instagram. Yes, those ones with super duper tidy clean homes. Part of me thought if I get that hoover my home will magically become an insta home. That never actually happened but hoovering has definitely become so much easier with this! I chose a corded coz well I was a bit skeptical about it “losing power” without a cord. In hindsight I wish I had chosen the cordless because the only downside to this hoover is having to play wire acrobats trying to keep the wire from getting caught in the hoover and don’t even get me started on the awkwardness of trying to wind it back up! Anyways, I freakin love this hoover! It is so easy. The hoovering can be done so quickly. It zooms between laminate and rug effortlessly and is great on carpet, you get those lines that make it look like you’ve actually hoovered, (very satisfying), and it is quite strong for such a small thing! There’s also this magic button on it that means it goes under the furniture without you bending down!!! Yep, really! No dust bunnies or hidden crumbs under my sofa any more. The head swivels about and if you’ve got good wrist movement you can stand in one spot and get into all the corners and crevices! It does need emptied loads and doesn’t actually stand up on it’s own until it’s folded down to store. But, well not everything is perfect. I would say though that i still have my henry for a deep hoover up everything / anything / the car footwells kinda clean coz this hoover isn’t built for hardcore messes – it would literally die if I tried to hoover the cold ash and wood bits round the fire place! I have already recommended this to three separate people and two have bought it (maybe should have bought shares first!) this is one of my fave buys and has definitely made life easier and Insta ready (lol).
Packs away nicely.
We have downsized to a very small house and our old hoover was too cumbersome and heavy. This one is great in many ways but it does have faults. I chose a corded one as have nowhere to park a charging one on wall but the cord is stiff and hard to recoil. It is nice and long though so you don’t have to replug it for upstairs (I did mention our house is small!!). The main problem is I have arthritic hands so I find it kills my hands to use it for long. You have to grip the handle the whole time and it pulls on your thumb joints as you sweep the wand around the floor. There is a plus side to this as my husband now does all the hoovering and the carpets are definitely cleaner than with our old hoover (a rubbish Dyson) which is great with a dog in the house.
Best hoover ever!
I’ve had about 4 hoovers now this so the best by far easy to store switches between floor and carpet easily. No hair wrap on the roller and is so easy to clean. Was disgusted the first time I used after the amount of dust it picked up my old hoover was clearly doing nothing attachments are good for furniture and long handle for cobwebs excellent investment. Cable is also super long so you don’t have to keep moving round plugs
I just love it!
Worth every penny, I really can’t rate it highly enough.
Wow , awsome
Have read all the reviews about the shark before I purchased this product. Although a little heavy for me , but that’s because I have a shoulder injury, . I cannot fault this brilliant vacuum cleaner. Well worth the money,. I have long hair and my bedroom is hard to clean, but for this vacuum, hair what hair! Brilliant!
And although it cost more than I would normally spend on a vacuum cleaner, its well worth it, when you have had 9 vacuum’s in the past that were no where near has brilliant has this product, it does exactly what it says on the box and more,. Thankyou Amazon and Shark
I got this Hover to use for my Airbnb, I’m thinking of getting a second one for home, my wife really loves the Rose Gold colour.
– Great strong suction power, regular and turbo speed
– The bottom is heavy but doesn’t break your back
– Handheld option is really convenient, easy on and off
– Emptying the dust compartment is really easy and clean
One thing I noticed people complaining is that you can’t keep it standing upright…
But it can actually be folded nicely and stored away, I’ve uploaded a video, feel free to have a look at it if you have time for a 30sec video.
Thank you!

Love this lil hoover but not too keen on the head as I think it will get very loose and flimsy in time with taking it off and putting it back on when using it the suction is very good so I’m happy with that and it is not that light a hoover to lift very easy to clean and empty but not easy to find the filtres for it unless you go to the shark site them expensive but yes it is good it would also be better if the cord had a swivel on it as it is so long and this I don’t need lol but yes I have pets so it dose the job around the home keeping it clean and fur free
Disappointed
Bought to replace old heavy vacuum cleaner but am disappointed as I find it difficult to manoevre and painful for my arthritic shoulders.

Great for pet hai
Great on carpets and for pet hair. Really impressed with it. We have two long haired cats so needed something that could deal with all the hair. It has separate collecting chambers and picks up all the hair without tangling around the base. It’s easy to clean out. The only criticism is that the long cord has nowhere to go and can get tangled if not put away properly.
Just brilliant,, good suctio
Suction power very good and nice to know its not going to run out of power, brilliant for stairs and floors as well as carpe
Does an efficient job
Like Efficient lightweight vacuum
Dislike cord is a trip hazard but that is my problem!
Great suction for pet hairs
I’m really happy with my purchase of the Shark anti wrap corded vacuum. It does the job perfectly even with stubborn pet hairs. I don’t have stairs so I can’t comment on stair cleaning. I haven’t tried the attachments yet but have a feeling they will help with some of the areas I find difficult to reach with the vacuum cleaner. My only little niggle is that the container for the carpet mess is quite small and I have to empty it a lot and it doesn’t stand upright, I have to prop it up on the wall. Still worthy of all stars though

Small receptacle for waste so had to empty ofte
Liked that it was light and had good suction so removed pet hair easily. A big dislike was the small container for dirt which quickly got filled by pet hair so had to be emptied often.

Best vacuum that I have bought so far cannot fault it!
This is definitely the best corded vacuum I’ve ever bought & I’ve tried loads of different ones including Dyson/Vax/Miele etc. The price I paid on Amazon was the same price as on the Shark website & I got free delivery/delivery date was quicker on Amazon too. I would definitely buy a corded vacuum rather than cordless as there is no loss of suction & no battery to replace. It has a really long wire which reaches different rooms without having to keep unplugging it. It has excellent suction on carpets & is a lot easier to use for cleaning stairs as you just detach the base & push on the right cleaning accessory which is included with the vacuum. It has brought loads of dust/dirt out of my carpets which I thought were clean until I used the Shark & it is also good on wooden floors. The anti hair wrap feature is excellent & I’ve had no problems with it. It can feel quite bulky/heavy compared to some vacuums but that is the only negative I can find about this Shark vacuum. I don’t have any pets but I feel the added pet feature is good to have as I think it improves suction even more & picks up more dirt/dust/hair.
Overall I would give this 5*
Best vacuum that I have bought so far cannot fault it!
This is definitely the best corded vacuum I’ve ever bought & I’ve tried loads of different ones including Dyson/Vax/Miele etc. The price I paid on Amazon was the same price as on the Shark website & I got free delivery/delivery date was quicker on Amazon too. I would definitely buy a corded vacuum rather than cordless as there is no loss of suction & no battery to replace. It has a really long wire which reaches different rooms without having to keep unplugging it. It has excellent suction on carpets & is a lot easier to use for cleaning stairs as you just detach the base & push on the right cleaning accessory which is included with the vacuum. It has brought loads of dust/dirt out of my carpets which I thought were clean until I used the Shark & it is also good on wooden floors. The anti hair wrap feature is excellent & I’ve had no problems with it. It can feel quite bulky/heavy compared to some vacuums but that is the only negative I can find about this Shark vacuum. I don’t have any pets but I feel the added pet feature is good to have as I think it improves suction even more & picks up more dirt/dust/hair.
Overall I would give this 5*
great produc
The product is great, the only problem is that the dust container is a bit small, it needs emptying often.
Lightweight and effective
I can wizz round the house so easily with this. So lightweight and picked up everything. Easy to empty to. Fantastic desig
A great vacuum cleaner at a good price
After trying several battery powered stick cleaners, the sheer lack of genuine suction for any usable period of time meant I had to go back to a cabled mains cleaner. This cleaner proved to be a great solution as it has a very long flex, is lightweight and has great suction. It even cleaned my car completely free of dirt, small stone chippings and dog hair in a very short time. Well impressed!
Brilliant, brilliant vacuum cleane
We have had a few vacuum cleaners in the past some much more expensive than this one. This one though is simply brilliant. It’s very quiet, smooth, has a light to shine where you are hoovering. It comes apart so you can use it as a hand device for applications like cleaning small places, stairs or a vehicle.
The best bit is there are not pesky bags to keep having to buy and empty, it works like a Dyson in that it collects all the dirt in a container that you simply empty into the bin. We love it!

Worth the money
So glad I decided to purchase this during the Black Friday deals, my old Shark was on its way out so I was in the market for a new one. This one is more lightweight then my older one which is great for getting it around, suction is fab as I would expect from this brand and the the anti hair wrap system actually works! My old one always had to be cleaned and have the hair cut out but this one doesn’t seem to be getting any hair wrapped in it at all. Definitely worth the money, very pleased.

so ace it will suck up a dyso
Our dyson was falling apart and so we decided to go for this instead. A fraction of the price and also called “shark” so you just know it means business.
It’s really simple to use, lightweight and really works. The bendy function to vacuum, under sofas and beds is really handy, as is the really long power cord.
The lights on the front make it look like something which rolled into the kid’s room in Close Encounters and if that’s not a good reason to buy it then I don’t know what is.
Super easy and excellent suctio
Having owned a Dyson Big Ball for years, and hating it. I wanted something more manageable and actually picked up dirt rather than push it around the floor. I took the leap on this and it has transformed our cleaning. It gets EVERYTHING lifted from carpets and rugs, so easy on wood floors and the lights on the front really help with seeing the dirt.
Carpeted stairs are a bit tough as the head is quite deep and it is easier if you use the smaller head that it comes with.
Storage is so easy with the fold mechanism and fits easily in the wardrobe or cupboard. I didn’t want a battery operated version as I don’t want to spend hours on end recharging batteries and don’t know how green that is, so I decided on corded and the power is constant and with the 10m cord it is so easy to move around.
Love it and would definitely recommend
This vacuum does not run very easily over the carpets, disappointing as my previous Shark did.

Also, suction not as powerful as the older model I had. Another disappointme
I love my new vacuum cleaner!
I bought this because my old one was getting too heavy for me to cart up and down stairs, and cleaning the stairs themselves was a nightmare using an old fashioned upright. With my new Shark, I just use the hand held bit for the stairs and it’s so light and easy. The suction is great. It’s very easy to take apart to use different tools or empty the dust away. Can’t praise it too highly
Shark Corded stick Vacuum
I am in my late 80s and needed a lightweight vacuum cleaner and this fits the bill. It is quiet has good suction and is also lightweight. Very pleased with it.
Ease of use
This is my second Shark and i love it as much as the first one , which is still working but as this one was on offer decided to buy it , because it was a bargain .
Does a great job!
Loved that all packaging was cardboard or paper, no plastic whatsoever! Very easy to assemble. Very easy to use. Carpet and hard floor functions both do a good job. Long 10 metre cord makes things easier too.
Would definitely recommend.
Amazing!!!
I hoover and sweep daily, multiple times (mum of a toddler) and the amount of dirt this pulled from my carpets baring in mind they’re under two months old, was shocking – I had a quick whizz around and the dust compartment was 3/4 full! Super easy to put together, arrived a day late but to be expected with Christmas. I have now given my Dyson away and am recommending the shark to everyone!
Only downside is the cable can’t be stored “neatly” and needs to be propped against something when not in use but I can definitely live with that!
Great for pet hair and takes up little space.
Really pleased with this product. Great manufacturing. Not too heavy a and fairly easy to move around. Was worried would be too heavy but surprisingly not too bad. Some people may find it heavy to move around. Took me a few times to get use to it but now love to vac up and it folds up so doesn’t take up to much room. Great suction and carpets look much more cleaner. Great also if your a animal lover like me, pet hairs no problem
Wow, what a great vacuum
I rarely write reviews, but since I bought this vacuum I’ve felt the need to shout it from the rooftops. I have two very fluffy cats that shed constantly and abundantly, and it normally takes several passes to de-hair the carpet. Not with this model. One sweep and it looks like I don’t even have pets. The controls are easy to use as well. My only complaint would be that it doesn’t have cord retractor, as the cord is quite long and it’s unwieldy to wind up. But a great product overall.
Top heavy
The downfall of this hoover is it won’t stand upright on its own, you need a wall to prop it against or have to lay it on the floor.
A little gem
I have gone back to a corded vacuum after having an expensive Dyson cordless for 3 very unhappy years. This Shark is a godsend. Comparatively it’s a bit heavier but by 3rd use you don’t notice it. It is quicker, much quieter, picks up far more dirt and bigger pieces – the Dyson would just push them along the floor! I have hard floors and rugs in my bungalow and the cord reaches every nook and cranny once plugged into a central hallway socket and coming out of the top by the handle it doesn’t tangle up. I love the lights on the front which helps to see fluff. Only con is that it doesn’t go under my tv unit which is about 3 inches off the floor. I might think about buying one if the accessory tools that will do this but hey ho it’s no biggie.

Fantastic vacuum, really manoeuvrable
This is a fantastic vacuum for it’s size, lightweight and really easy to manoeuvre around and under furniture. The anti hair wrap technology actually works, we have 3 with long hair in the house, plus 2 dogs. I did 5 rooms and no hair was snagged in the brush when I was finished, I was amazed.
The only issue I think I’ll have with it is that when it overheats it automatically shuts off. Which is great, better than burning out the motor, but I only got 2 rooms thoroughly done before it shut off. Overall it’s well with the price, I paid 178.

Powerful and lightweight, very long cable
Incredible suction for such a lightweight vaccum cleaner. Very long cable (10M) ideal for my flat. Fittings are easy to swap over for different tasks. The dust collection tank is quite small but because it is so easy to remove and empty it really isn’t an issue to give it a regular clean out. It has a light so you can see anything you might miss underneath furniture. The only negative thing I can say ( and I’m really nitpicking here), is it needs to lean against a wall when stored, it can’t stand up by itself. I mean really, if that’s the worst thing I can say about it, buy a shelf bracket to hang it on. It’s worth it, best vac I’ve ever owned
Grea
I own a shark cordless and had been reasonably happy until I bought this. I was amazed with how much dirt was lifted off my hard floors rug and carpet on stairs and bedrooms. I would hoover a few times a week and was disgusted when I seen what this lifted. Suction is fantastic and the pet tool is great for sofas and stairs. This is far cheaper than cordless alternatives and I wasn’t sure how I would cope returning to a corded model but the length of the wire this product has makes the transition a lot easier. I would recommend if you want the style of the cordless as it is similar but has more suction. Slightly heavier but nothing major. Quite like a workout when I’m doing the chores!

Better than expected
We always used a Dyson which we will continue to use.
But having used this for a few months found it better and more adaptable.
At this time we would recommend above! as better than Dyson for many reasons including buying the wired version, over any! battery operated device. We would recommend this device over any other! ATM
Shark Stick vacuum cleane
It is very easy to use both on hard floors and carpets. It is also light in weight and good for stairs and high levels. A great improvement on the earlier model that was hard to use on carpets.
Brilliant little vacuum.
Suction is great, easy to use and very lightweight, only downside is that you need to continually empty the dirt container after each use as it is really small.
It can be irritating that it doesn’t free stand but it folds down easily for storage and it will lean against something if you have to stop mid hoover.
Overall I love it though, so I still give it 5 stars.
Not as good as I expected
Its not a bad hoover but it doesn’t pick up as well on hard floors or tiles as it does on carpet. I have to go round again with the hose connection to get the bits the main hover didnt pick up.
I love this vacuum cleane
I hate vacuuming, always have. Got this as my dyson broke, typically just after the 12 month warranty. All they could offer was some credit against another one, so thought I’d try this one. Unreal. It’s really lightweight and the anti hair wrap, omg. No getting the scissors out to cut the hair off the roller. It just wraps around a cone and you just drag it off. Absolutely love it and love vacuuming now. Brill for stairs and upholstery too. And the car as the hose element comes off. Doesn’t take much space up for storage either as it folds in half (and it has headlights, HEADLIGHTS). I did cheap out and go for the corded version but wish I hadn’t. That’s entirely on me though. It’s soooo good
Great vacuum
I love this vacuum. It is so versatile switching from full thing to long reach ‘stick’ to short reach hand held easily. I thought the headlights were a gimmick, but no, they really show up the dust under things and being able to bend the body to go under coffee tables and so on is really useful. Emptying the dirt is dead easy and washing the filters is easy too. I do wish you could store the tools on the vacuum but then I guess it wouldn’t be so flexible. I also think it might be too heavy for an older person, my 80 year old mum would struggle using it as a handheld. The flexibility of the base takes a bit of getting used to but it means you can wiggle it into all kinds of weird spots. It doesn’t stand up on it’s own you have to bend it over but that only takes a second so no big deal. Overall I’m really pleased with it.
Brillia
I purchased this as I can no longer use my cylinder vacuum. I tried a Gtech. Returned it as it was not up to the hype. We used a Shark on holiday and loved it I am really pleased not only with its suction but looks and features. Easy to empty dust container, removal of head. Storage has a great function that folds in half so stores in a bottom cupboard. I would advise anyone to buy this product you don’t have to wait for it to charge as the cable is more than long enough to get into any nook and cranny. As someone who has difficulties with my hands it is not a problem, whoever designed the vacuum put a lot of thought into how the user had ease of use , Thank you shark design team.
It's wonderful!
Had Dysons for years. Last one was a too heavy for me and hubby in our mid 60s. This Shark is just excellent. Slides under furniture, breaks down into a small stair cleaner. Light and easy to move. Loads of dust getting lifted from my carpets.
