Best cordless vacuum I have had.
I love this item Because I can actually remove and fit together the different fittings easily.As my hands are no longer strong This is a huge benefit. Every thing about it is good to use. Different suction for vynel and carpets useful attachment’s neat charger. Only negative thing is it a little more heavy than I anticipated. But it folds up at an easy click of a button. So I would recommend this I had Dyson before. Never again Shark brillia
Worth the expense
So happy with this purchase. Brand recommended by my daughter and despite the cost, it’s worth it. Makes cleaning a breeze. Easy to move from Carpet to wood floor, easy to add attachments and easy to empty the collection bin. Anti hair wrap alas, was no match for the pink fluff that my cushions and throw seem to manufacture almost magically, but it’s just a few minutes to de-fluff the brushes. Interestingly anti hair wrap does work with hair and threads. Suction power is brilliant. Only 3 stars for lightweight as the batter pack does make it heavy but that doesn’t affect manoeuverability and you get used to the weight.
Fantastic vacuum.
This arrived today and already I love it. Easy to assemble with sensible notes on the appliance so if you’re keen like me you don’t really need to read the book. Lots of good attachments with a bag to keep them together. I love that it can be a hand held or a wand vacuum. So much easier for the stairs. The best bit is the bendy wand so it goes under furniture. An absolutely fantastic feature. And the suction boost is going to be really useful. And it arrived charged up so I could try it out right away. We have a bigger lift away shark but this is ideal for those spaces a heavy vacuum with a cord aren’t suited to, and for a quick whizz round catching all the dust bunnies and dog hair on the hard floors and rugs. Not really that lightweight – the photo of the woman lifting it high up with one hand is far fetched.

An excellent produc
This cleaner certainly deserves to bear the Shark name. It is definitely a shark gobbling up hair and fluff. The modification that stops hair getting caught around the brush definitely works. Shame all cleaners are not the same. Very easy to put together and very manouverable. A little heavy but that’s something I can get used to. Also it does not take up a lot of space when folded down which is particularly important if your home is small and there’s not a lot of space.
Great Produc
Having had previous experience of a much more expensive Dyson, I definitely prefer the Shark. Its very efficient, it folds for storage, and its easier than the Dyson to disassemble/reassemble into the various configurations. The dirt container unclips very easily so you can take it out to the bin. I take childish pleasure from the headlights.
The major advantage over the Dyson though, is the fact that its super-easy to remove the battery, either for remote charging or to fit a spare, whereas on the Dyson it was deeply embedded and a major technical challenge to remove. And I speak as a former aircraft engineer. I’m sure that some people, when the battery comes to the end of its life, would simply bin the Dyson and buy a new one, which was probably the idea.
I have no hesitation in recommending this product.
Good hoover, but top heavy
I have had this hoover for 3 weeks now and have very mixed feelings about it. I also have a corded Shark hoover which is brilliant, but wanted the cordless one for quickness and pet fir.
The positives are:
Fast charging time, good 40mins running time between charges, cordless, picks up pet hair.
The negatives are:
Very top heavy due to motor being at the top of the handle, the handle is quite large so for me with small hands the handle becomes uncomfortable while I’m using it.
On the whole a good hoover.

Lightweight and easy to use
Everything about this is a delight – if you enjoy keeping the place clean from time to time. I don’t think it will clean a whole house in one go, the battery for that would be too heavy. But for what we use it for, a room at a time and cleaning up any mess that comes along, it’s great.
The first time you use it, you wonder at the amount of dirt that you’ve been living with up to this point because the cleaner pulls up much more than your previous vacuum cleaner did. After that, it keeps the place clean.
Good but battery 40mims? No.
This is extremely handy for hard floors. My wife is a childminder and likes to keep on top of the places and after eating some days it’s a good job. Was a bit fed up of the plug in Van ( good vacuum it’s just the wire plugging in ) so after many years decided a battery one might be useful. She is delighted with it and I must say I think it’s not bad either. Only thing 40 minute battery time? No. I’d give it no more than 25 and that’s mainly in the lowest setting. Thing is it’s a lithium ion battery so no memory for discharge so when it reaches bottom light of the 3 put it on charge again, which can be done on the vacuum no need to remove the battery pack. A 2nd battery is advice but my wife won’t go for it. As a mechanic I use a lot of lithium battery powered tools spare battery or batteries is my advice. Spare approx 79.99 but for some reason Amazon doesn’t ship this to Northern Ireland. Why Amazon? I can get it on eBay and I can get it off Shark UK site shipped to my home address. Frustrating Amazon frustrating

Excellent Hoover. Best purchase in a long time!!
I purchased this vacuum as I have long hair and a dog and I love it!! I use all the attachments that come with it(which are easily switchable) to keep on top of the up high and down low areas of my house. The lights on the Hoover really make you see everything so you pick up all the pet hairs you may normally miss. It’s lightweight, easy to move and the adjustable arm makes reaching under furniture amazingly easy. It holds its charge for me to do my house twice a day and is so easy to re-charge. Also i dont have to spend time cutting off or picking out hair wrapped around the rollers. I absolutely love this Hoover and couldn’t recommend it enough!
VERY HAPPY
I like the clean lines of its design and the way each part dismantles, very well thought out. Even though I did
not buy the Pet Care model, we have a long haired cat and it picks up her fur brilliantly. The brush head swivels in all kinds of directions making it less of an effort to hoover and the lights are very useful. It picks up crumbs from my kitchen floor even round the edges without having to use the long tool. The anti wrap is a big bonus, one of the reasons why i chose this Shark. It is also very quiet. I did not give it 5 stars because I do find the motor at the top a little heavy but everything else outweighs this imperfection. My neighbour was impressed when I showed her and she has now bought one.
Hoovering made less traumatic
Let me start by saying I absolutely detest hoovering. It’s the one job I leave til last and dread. However, I absolutely love using this hoover. To be honest though, I’ve only ever had one of those cheap ones with the bag that never seems to clip in properly that you have to drag round after you. Nor was I a fan of changing the plug socket several times in one hoover session. So what I’m trying to say here is my expectations were probably pretty low BUT this has blown me away! It’s cordless so it’s much easier and quicker to move round the house. The attachments clip on and off with ease and the way the top detaches itself makes it really easy to use on the stairs or car. The suction is amazing and I don’t think just in comparison to my previous hoovers. I’m actually embarrassed at how much dust it collected on the first go but even with subsequent uses, there is a lot of dust and hair collected. It’s also really easy to release the dust compartment too. In addition, the head of the hoover swivels really well and the function to ‘bend’ the hoover in half is great for under beds and sofas. I wish I’d invested in one long ago. It is a fantastic model. Some have said they find it heavy but I’m tiny and find it much lighter and easier to use that others I’ve owned so perhaps it’s just personal preference and previous hoovers you may have experienced. I will never buy a hoover with a cord again!

I got lucky, extremely happy
we would all love a shark but they are pricey,
but i got lucky, i stumbled on this in a sale and was just over 200quid,
this is my new favorite thing in the house, the anti hair wrap is perfect for my anoying girlfriends long blonde hair that ruined the previous vacuum,
all the attachments are great i now do my whole house in like 15 mins conpared to 40mins without lugging a wire around my and changing plugs,
i got lucky with the price but if that doesnt bother you a shark is for you.
It's good but ....
I must say that there was so much hype about the Shark but I am a little disappointed that it did not come with the stairs attachment. You get some attachments but I do think you need the stairs one. It works fine, the battery lasts well and the suction is ok but I have to use the additional power trigger quite a lot. I have rugs and floorboards downstairs so it works downstairs fine, but carpeted stairs and carpeting upstairs and I have to say that I am still waiting for that deeply satisfying feeling of the carpet looking really well hoovered when I use it and not so much.
Love it’s strong auction and great desig
I wanted a cordless that could charge anywhere, a handheld that had the suction of a full size and was easy to empty and store. This baby has everything you need. It’s not as light as some of the others but that’s because it has stronger suction, and it would have been good if attachments fitted to the body so always in reach rather than stored in a separate bag. I could have just spent 60 on a cheap handheld but knew I’d soon be frustrated. This is a solid well constructed and easy to use vacuum that easily converts to a handheld and back again,,Recommend

Impressed
This is really good at cleaning wooden floors and it has to settings, carpet and flat, but we use the carpet setting as it soft brushes the wood. There is a boost button if required. It comes with a good array of tools and can also reach under beds with easy due to the middle flexible section. Naturally it’s top heavy as this is where the battery is located and be careful when standing upright as it can topple if your not careful.
Overall and excellent vacuum on wooden floors but can’t comment on carpets or stairs.
This attacks like a shark
Vacuum cleaners have improved dramatically over the last year or so, I decided to ditch my Dyson animal to this brand called Shark, the Dyson was like carrying a small child around it weighs considerably and I’m sure its not good for your posture. I brought this Shark and was very pleased with its performance and out beats the Dyson even though it feels like a feather compared with the Dyson. This appliance is so flexible if I get some dirt on the carpet I don’t need to bend on my hands and knees and get the brush and pan out, I wouldn’t dare to bring out the Dyson for such a small job, it would require some considerable effort. I’m pleased I purchased this cleaner and have no regrets, its cordless and it charges up quickly. Only complaint I have is that when you stand the device it tends to topple over, but nonetheless its a great cleaner and would recommend.

Not as good as I’d hoped
I had seen so many people I know give this a good review that when the time came to replace my powerful Kirby, I really wanted a cordless and this seems the best option.
I have to say, I’ve left it a while before writing a review. I really wanted to love it but alas! my expectations were too high. This does, however, explain my disappointment where others have loved it. All in all, it is probably a very good vacuum cleaner and it certainly does have a good roller on the head – which needs cleaning regularly ( although 6 ppl and two cats.. I may again, be a little too ambitious in my expectation) one thing I do know is that I’d still rather have my chunky Kirby with a clean house than one that feels like it needs bringing out twice a day.

It was very straightforward to put together after I charged the head unit. Until now, we had been using a red Henry cleaner with extra power option. After hoovering the living room without the power lead wrapping round the top, the cleaner toppling over and actually hoovering under the sofas without employing a power lifter to access, i was amazed at the hair, dust and grime in the carpet. It looked clean enough beforehand, but there was a satisfying amount of crud lifted by The Shark and it’s powered brush attachment. The same for upstairs, quite a bit more dust, hair & muck than I had imagined. So far, the Shark is performing as expected, it’s well made, quiet & surprisingly good at finding grey stuff hiding in my cream carpet. It gives you that satisfying suction stripe by really lifting the fibres on my 8 year old carpet. It’s not looking new, but the shark has revived and cleaned well. Pleased with my purchase.

A godsend for my dodgy back!
Very pleased with my Shark. I like the different pet attachments and it’s very easy to use and not as heavy as I’d expected from other reviews. It’s much better for my back than my old Dyson cylinder & I’m no longer in discomfort after cleaning the house. The only slight drawback is that it jams when hoovering lightweight rugs, but I use the handheld instead. My property is relatively small, with mainly slate/wooden floors and it’s not that messy, but you might want to consider a model with extra batteries if you have a family or a larger house.
I bought this cleaner to use upstairs as our Henry is too cumbersome to carry up. It seems to glide over the carpets without any vigorous pushing and pulling so the task is much less tiring than using a traditional corded vacuum. The flexology mechanism allows me to clean under furniture without bending. I always dread having to put new purchases together and usually have to have help, but this was very simple and straightforward. The cleaner comes with little labels attached to help you learn which button is which. One of the best things is the way the cleaner folds over to store very compactly. I haven’t used the animal hair brush yet but when I eventually find a dog I have every confidence that it will work very well. We used to have a Dyson but this Shark beats it hands down in every way. It is worth its price and I highly recommend it.

Fantastic cordless vacuum cleane
I spent a long time umming and ahhing over which cordless vacuum to purchase and I’m so pleased I chose this.
The design is sleek in a lovely colour with clever design to fold over for easy storage.
The suction is fantastic and gets out so much dirt from the carpet you wouldn’t know was there. Feels like it’s not doing anything until you look in the collection compartment and it’s full. In fact it’s got such good power it almost pulls itself along.
I was worried it was going to be heavy and it’s not as heavy as I thought it would be. Sure there may be lighter ones, but perhaps not ones that pack a punch like this does.
Battery life lasts really well, just made sure to follow the instructions which tell you how to prepare it properly for best use.
Pet tool is great for using on stairs and sofas etc, really pulls the pet hair out.
Lights are always handy, especially on the laminate flooring to see the crumbs not usually seen.
The switch between laminate/hardwood floor mode is fantastic and the extra power button comes in handy if anything grips onto carpet.
I’d definitely recommend purchasing this, you really won’t be disappointed!

My wife is a woman of simple pleasures. Her three, true hobbies are crochet, vacuuming and blocking toilets.
Two months ago we replaced our Dyson and it has been a game changer.
Drop a crumb? Out comes the shark.
Take your socks off and a bit of fluff hits the carpet? Out comes the shark.
It’s been a few hours since you’ve vacuumed? Out comes the shark.
I can’t complain as my wife loves it and I know that I have a similar obsession with irons and ironing boards.

Pros: good battery life, great “go flat” feature for under furniture, headlights on the front of the powered suction unit that illuminate *all* the debris, easy to empty bin.
Cons: inability to remove the anti hair wrap roller which results in larger pieces of debris getting wedged behind. If you wonder how much of an issue this is (eg why don’t I just avoid the larger bits) with the go flat technology that means it goes right under furniture and with kittens and kids in the house, stuff ends up under the sofa that can’t be seen, but can be sucked up and trapped resulting in a most unpleasant fishing expedition.
I’m pretty strong, but find the ergonomics of the high power grip are uncomfortable and would be a challenge for someone with less strength or mobility issues.

When my vacuum cleaner was put together which was very easy i cleaned all the downstairs and got the shock of my life as the light actually showed all the dust on my floor
I have never had a vac that cleans so thoroughly.
Got a bigger shock when i emptied it as it was full of blonde hair keeping all the dust together.
All these hairs were mine.
What a fantastic compact product.I actually cant get over all the dust this is a genious vac and the price is amazing.
My rug actually looks better as it has cleaned it better than my old vac ever did.
It hygenically helps my asthma and its not corded.
FANTASTIC.
I love the fact that its a Shark product the best ever cleaner i have ever bought.
I now can get the dust from under my bed i cant praise it enough.
I have stored mine closed down next to a lamp in my extension behind a unit so you cant even see it from my other room.My old one wouldnt close down
but i still cant get over ALL the dust that i saw on my wooden floor.
AMAZING PRODUCT.
I would give it 10 out of 10 if i could
And its blue a beautiful colour and we women pick by colour a lot.

Really impressive cordless vacuum.
Let me start off with that Dyson have had my custom for over 15 years but more recent models have become less impactive. The Shark is the top vacuum in the sea. I was a bit worried that it wouldn’t get around six rooms on one charge (20 mins) but it easily does. I’m glad I didn’t shell out for the twin battery model. It works impressively on hardwood as well as carpets and the boost feature is noticeable. Especially when side onto skirting boards. The smart charge won’t over charge your battery (allegedly) so you don’t have to disconnect it once full. It’s not a massive dust bin but I’ve found the quick empty method easy to use every few days. It sweeps around the rooms via the brush head really well. The motor can be connected directly to the brush head for stairs. It’s only here where I start to find a flaw. As the head is unsprung the head is floppy and if you are fat handed and clumsy you could stress the joint. I simply hold the motor unit and brush head in each hand. Would recommend.

The smart charge won’t over charge your battery (allegedly) so you don’t have to disconnect it once full. It’s not a massive dust bin but I’ve found the quick empty method easy to use every few days. It sweeps around the rooms via the brush head really well. The motor can be connected directly to the brush head for stairs. It’s only here where I start to find a flaw. As the head is unsprung the head is floppy and if you are fat handed and clumsy you could stress the joint. I simply hold the motor unit and brush head in each hand. Would recommend.
Overall a good little vacuum & picks up well
Handy little vacuum, much lighter to push than my small Dyson.
The motor & battery are quite heavy & I think I would struggle with high level dusting for any period of time but not tried it yet.
The anti hair wrap roller work’s quite well but not 100% but I do have two long haired dogs & it picks up brilliantly & usually only need to remove a little hair which comes away with ease.
I have been able to vacuum the whole house in one go & still have juice left in it & that’s with using full power in a couple of rooms.
The only thing I’m not 100% with is vacuuming the stairs as I find the head too wide for them.
Great hoover. Does everything I need it to and exceeded my expectations. The anti hair wrap feature seems to work well. I read some negative reviews regarding this feature but my partner moults worse than an old English sheep dog and it managed to digest 3 rooms-worth of her hair without clogging up the rollers! It’s powerful with great suction and the included tools make for easy work in all the nooks and crannies. My only negative comment would be the battery life is quoted to be a 40 minute run time. I got nowhere near this, more like 20 minutes at a push, using the hoover on full power (as most people would I’d imagine). A second battery would probably be a worthwhile investment for this model. All in all though, a very decent hoover!
Love it!
I’ve tried so many vacuum cleaners and because I have a quite high pile carpet, I find that they are hard to push and maneuver, which hurts my back. Some have stretch pipes for attachments, which are cumbersome and usually pull the vacuum over. I already have a Shark steam cleaner, which is great, and now I have this Hoover. It is perfect, light, easy fit attachments, Hoover under the bed, glides over carpets and no hair rapped around the brush. I want to use is every day. Highly recommend.

Excellent and easy to use
Note-Run it on your hard floor to get the anti hair wrap working. On carpet it does not clear as efficiently. I have a dog and long hair but no hair in sight when I was done.
I just got my Shark yesterday. I charged it asap and vacuumed the whole house. I have only got the model with one battery but that did the whole house and I went over some places twice to see how long the battery lasted. I have a large 3 bedroomed house with hard floors downstairs and carpet upstairs. I did upstairs first then ran it over my hard floors. I found the vac very easily lasted for a whole house clean and more. No hair wrapped on brushes after I ran it on my hard floors to finish.
The flexing stick was a great bonus and I used it to get under my furniture with ease. I love it so much that I have ordered 2 additional accessory feet today. Next outing we are doing dusting together. I’m looking forward to it!

Love this hoover. I bought a cheaper one last year and it was a waste of time. Well worth spending the extra money on a decent brand. Very good suction even on high pile rugs and I like that you can change the settings for laminate flooring etc with a quick slide button. Battery life is really good. We bought the single battery and it lasts a good few goes hoovering 3 large carpeted bedrooms. The wider head is a bit on the heavy side but manoeuvres really well and it means you can stand it up too when storing it. I also really like the fact it folds and makes it really easy to put away. Would definitely recommend

Brilliant Hoover, we had a vax one 32v before this. The suction of that was not good enough as we’ve got a dog that sheds lots of hair! We’ve had the shark for around a month now and it is amazing, the suction is amazing. Got this on prime day for 200 and it worth every penny. I would highly recommend. The anti hair wrap is really good as the vax would consistently get long hair stuck around it. It came with the pet tool and this was great for the sofa and stairs. No complaints plus 5 years warranty!
This was bought on a whim after seeing it demo’d in a store and I’ve never looked back! The design is brilliant, it’s incredibly versatile and folds down for storage. When fully charged, the suction is excellent, although I never bother changing to the less powerful ‘hard floor’ setting. It’s so handy to use the short version, ie. detatched from the floor cleaning head, for picking up crumbs, etc. Thanks to the Shark, I now hardly ever bring out the mains powered vacuum which now sits in the back of the cupboard.

from advice from my sister who told me i needed a new vacuum cleaner and told me to get a shark, i did and was amazed on the suction , having hoovered up before with my old vacuum i hoovered up with the shark and was surprised on how much the old one had not picked up. top marks on this vacuum and so easy to assemble . highly recommend .
being a stroke survivor easy and lightweight use is paramount. while motorised brush is quite heavy, it is easy to connect/disconnected. compared to other similar products it is very well made, strong materials and easy to use and empty. top class
It glides through the house picking up everything. I sew and so there always bits of thread on the floor where l have missed the bin the thread no longer get tangled on the brush because of hair anti wrap. The carpet which is over 15 years old has never looked so good. Maybe we won’t have to change it for while?? The rugs are all fluffy and looking new again. People say the hoover is heavy the only downside l find is it pulls as it runs along. What surprised me was all the extras brushes etc come with it it’s far better than the old dyson l had.

Fantastic item. Suction is is great. For such a good suction it has a fairly light motor. Normally you get good suction like this from a Henry but have to out up with lugging it behind you in the house. With this you get the best of both world. Light weight and great suction. I must say it isn’t as light weight as other cordless vacuum but then, other cordless vacuums aren’t as great with suction as this is. So great buy for great quality.
The light on the front works a treat too, for hard to see places.

The suction and battery life is very good but the main problem is that it doesn’t stand upright unless it is leaning against something. It is top heavy. Luckily I had been warned about this by a friend whose recommendation of the overall hoover made me buy one. There are many knobs and buttons on it but once you get the hang of these two things, it is great. Better than my Dyson battery vacuum cleaners.

Love i
So far I’m loving this, the amount of fine particles this picks up is amazing, I have a Miele cat/dog 2200 watts that I still use once a week, it’s a cylinder and still very heavy to drag about, I’ve used my shark right after a thorough vacuuming and still filled the dust pan, it’s so handy to use every day … My only down point and a additional kit is available, is because of the angle of the dust pan n handle you can’t access your car floors very well … But I do love my Baby Shark
I have an upright Shark already and I have reviewed this item already just after receipt, but having now used this cordless version for some weeks, I really want to say how impressed I am. I will be keeping hold of the old corded one, as I love that too, but this is just a lightweight, efficient little gem. I see the adverts on television saying how many people say the Shark products are good, shame they have not asked me, I would be one more person. Hoovering is no longer a chore. I love it.

Best vacuum I have ever had! Amazing! I’ve had Dyson and Miele but this cordless one knocks the socks off them all!!! You won’t be disappointed
Thank you Shark, finally found a cleaner that suits me! Originally winced at the price – but you get what you pay for, a good cleaner with great suction on carpets, tiles and wood flooring. Didn’t realise I needed headlights on a cleaner but wouldn’t be without them now, stores upright bent in half which is a great space saver, not too heavy to carry up and down stairs, great emptying at the slide of a bar – in fact all in all I am extremely pleased. Charging from flat took about hour and a half, but most of all, the thing that I am so grateful to Shark for – they have made all the buttons, attachment levers and fiddly bits -manicured nail friendly and for this alone I salute you!!

I bought this to replace my dyson V6.
* It is much quieter than the dyson.
* It is also much heavier, be prepared to sometimes use two hands.
* The fold-away looks cute and takes up hardly any space – however be careful to press the correct fold buttton and not the quick release of the hoover end (dropped it twice)
* Battery lasts a long time and Charging is quick and easy.
* The suction on the attachments are fantastic in comparison to Dyson.
* Works great on hard flooring and doesn’t spit debris across the floor like the dyson does.
* Works great on what i thought was a hoovered rug.
Note: If you get something small stuck and it doesn’t come out – simply tip the hoover upside down and spin the rollers and it usually falls right out.
Needed a cordless vac that can deal with pet hair on our rugs and stairs which this Shark is brilliant at.
Now using it as our main vacuum and very happy.

Historically I have hated hoovering because I have had problems hoovering on the stairs with cat hair, heavy hoover, lack of suction et cetera. I bought this because I have three flights of stairs to Hoover as well as the rooms and needed something powerful, lightweight, with easy manoeuvrability. Noted good reviews so splashed out on one and don’t regret it . it is so good so easy to use, lightweight, fantastic suction, quick to recharge And easy to empty. I now almost enjoy hoovering!

This hoover is the most wonderful present I have ever purchased for myself. I don’t know why I never thought of purchasing one sooner. It is brilliant. I cannot fault it at all. It is so easy to use, no more pulling henry around the house. Thank you Shark for bringing this wonderful hoover out.
I bought a really cheap vacuum cleaner when I moved and got exactly what I paid for. This Shark is vastly superior, not just to my old cheap one but also the Dyson I used to have. Suction is great and the anti hair wrap thingy actually works! It comes with all the usual attachments and the small brush head has been really good on stairs and the carpets in my car.
To store it, rather than having to put a bracket up like the Dyson, this one folds in half and stands up on its own. Battery life is good and it cleans my entire house on one charge.
Basically, this is a very good machine and I like it. If you want a cordless stick vacuum cleaner, I’d say get this one.
Best thing ever easy to use easy to switch tools i have the 40min unit more than does all the work for me. I even use the extra power button lots does not run out of power.

Shocked at how great this vacuum cleaner really is .., my hetty will be put up for adoption soon. Great suction without dragging up the rug edges (I have lots of rugs and an open fire … so lots of dust) this was evident by the amount of dust collected when I tried it straight after using my hetty. I’m weird satisfied and how much gunk was collected in the cartridge and disposed of easily. If you’re a doubter, take a risk !!!
Look after it and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it!
I loved this at first, then hated it when it lost suction. I took everything apart and cleaned it, still no joy, I wanted to cry, I’ve wanted a shark for so long! Didn’t realise, but the long stick was completely blocked, unblocked it and it’s brilliant again. I think if you’re going to get the most out of this vacuum, then you need to check for blockages at the end of each big cleaning session, might seem a bit of a faff, but it’s worth it! We’re a family of six with a dog, it picks up hair really well, better than any other vacuum I’ve had, including dyson and Henry. It is a bit heavy, but only when used as a handheld, otherwise it pretty much glides and does the vacuuming for you.

Excellent. Fantastic manoeuvrability, very light weight. Suction maybe not as good as a previous machine but does what i want from it.
Picks up the wifes mass of hair off the floor also which is a relief. The anti-hair wrap DOES work despite other reviews. Recommended
Better than Dyson.
Bought to replace a Dyson V6 Animal and the difference in cleaning quality is massive.
So much more picked up with far less resort l effort, even when compared with a new version of the cordless Dyson I borrowed to test, a clean with the Shark on normal paper a couple of days on later picked up a substantial amount of missed hair and dust without the need for constant back and forth with the Dyson on turbo mode.
It is heavier than the Dyson’s but it feels like a far heavier duty and quality machine.
Only going it after a work colleagues recommendation as I had not heard of the bend before but would not go back now.
I have had a dyson for many years and then decided to try a cordless shark. Well, I am delighted with the results and amazed at how much dust and hair it is still sucking up. I would advise anyone to buy a shark ASAP. I am disabled and find it so easy to use and very very versatile. Brilliant.
Love this cordless vacuum, more powerful than my last one. Love the fact that, when using as a handheld, it’s just as powerful. Also like the boost trigger and the folding for easy storage. And yes, the hair wrap function really works brilliantly. As I live in an apartment, I cannot comment on its use on stairs, but as the handheld is so powerful, I think it would be great.
Can not fault this, had to replace my dyson which has been a nightmare. I can’t believe I’ve not bought a shark sooner, yes it’s a bit heavier but it picks up crumbs/dust no problem, much more powerful than my dysons have ever been! Would highly recommend
This is the first vacuum cleaner that I use of this kind. I have owned Dysons vacuum cleaners before but I decided to get this one for two reasons:
– Firstly and foremost because I was tired of the constant hair blockages in the head of the Dyson vacuums. In my house live two persons with long hair and this has been a constant issue with the Dyson vacuums. Whilst they have been on guarantee, I received replacements but I had enough.
– Secondly, I felt attracted about not needing to plug the vacuum in different sockets as I moved around the house.
I am very happy with this vacuum cleaner for various reasons which might be obvious for the regular users of these kind of vacuum but that, as I said before, I am finding beneficial being a first time user.
Its sucking power is quite good (and surprisingly good for a battery operated vacuum vs a corded one) and it is acceptable for my needs. When used on full power + boost on carpets you can see that it leaves the carpet really clean and this can also be seen on the waste deposit which fills in with dust. Likewise it cleans well non-carpeted floors.
In my experience and after having been using the vacuum for about 2 months, the Anti Hair Wrap system works really well and it serves for its purpose. It cleans hair and dust very well and its head has not blocked even once. Another function that has positively surprised me is the bending function of the long stick, which allows you to reach under the table, sofa and low furniture. I thought it was a nice to have but “pffff nothing special”. Actually it works really well and it really keeps these areas clean without the need to move them!
The vacuum charges in about 2 hours and it gives you enough vacuum time to do a medium size home (3 bedrooms, living room, hall and stairs) so long you don’t abuse of the boost power option. To charge it, I take it off all the accessories and leave it discreetly next to a plug socket after each use to make sure it is fully charged for the next use. Likewise the capacity of the waste container is good enough and there is no need to empty it half way through when vacuuming a full house.
I have to say that not everything is nice and hence why I gave 4 stars instead of 5 stars to this vacuum. I find the vacuum body (the top section which is the vacuum itself) very heavy. This is not incredibly noticeable whilst cleaning with the long stick and floor head on (although you can feel it after a while). But when you can really notice it is when you use any of the other two utensils that come with it (the piece to clean carpets, sofas, upholstery, etc. and the extended reach wand to reach the corners of the ceiling to remove spider webs, etc). I think that its manoeuvrability is difficult due to its weight; let’s put it this way: I don’t think my mother would be able to handle it.
Also, the instructions recommend that when it is stored you can fold it in two to make it less bulky. This is indeed a good idea and it works well, but the reality is that folding it is a nuisance when you could simply put it inside a cabinet extended. The problem with this is gravity! The head of the vacuum on top of it is heavy as I explained before and therefore makes it very unstable if it is not being held. If you opt for the practicability option of simply store it in a cabinet after use without folding it, chances are that the vacuum will fall.
In summary, this vacuum serves its purpose and seems good in what it does. However, it is heavier than what I expected and for its price, I would have expected a lighter device.

An amazing vacuum cleaner. Brilliant suction; this is the second vacuum I have had to buy in a six month period. Whilst the other one I got (another brand) was a great vacuum cleaner, it just wasn’t lifting the cat hair from my carpet. This vacuum does an amazing job at doing so and more, and without a special pet attachment being needed. Very impressed. The only negative I would say that it is a wee bit heavier than expected (not too much) and that it is not completely anti – hair gathering as advertised – you still have to pull off tangled hair that is gathered at the bottom of it. Overall the good points outweigh the bad; it also has a very powerful motor – it almost seems like it has a mind of it’s own. Overall, Shark has a very powerful vacuum here.

Amazing cordless vacuum, a little on the heavy side but you expect that as top heavy. Really pleased and would buy again.
I wasn’t wowed by this hoover I got it for the anti hair wrap technology which works great, however the suction isn’t that powerful and it’s quite heavy as the motor is near your hand, battery life is ok but seem to need to charge it every time after I use it For the whole house otherwise It doesn’t last the whole time next time, that can be fixed buy just getting another battery, movement is good though easy to use and I like the bend in the centre so it can go under the furniture however it is very top heavy meaning it doesn’t stand up on its own unless you have it in the folded positio

This vacuum does pick up most of the cat hairs and they are not wrapped round the roller like other vacuums, well maybe just a bit but I do have a long haired cat. However, I didn`t give it five stars for two reasons. Firstly it leaves a line of hair when you stop, see photos. I then have to go over these lines with a handheld which isn`t cut out for it. And secondly the trigger has to be held on by finger for full power, as I want full power all the time I have had to tie wrap it on, see photo. Oh and it is heavy but I don`t mind this too much as it`s a bit of a `work out` but as I get older ( I am almost a pensioner ) then I will struggle with it`s weight especially on the stairs. I am glad i bought it though, my old vacuum was useless at the cat hairs and I spent more time trying to get them off the roller afterwards than actually vacuuming.
This really does do the job andf is far superior to my original hoover, of a similar type – a Vax, which just clogs up with hairs in the roller which cannot be removed without dismantling the whole of the hoover head. Anyway, the Shark is great – no hair collection on the roller, strong suction, fast recharging, and lightweight along with lights on the hoover head.
A pricey piece of equipment but would definitely recommend.
Pretty pleased with this vacuum, it cleans well and is lightweight. Battery life is ok and the accessories are useful.
However if you are looking to buy this model because of the ‘anti hair wrap technology’ it simply doesn’t work. Don’t know how they can get away with the advertising.
Very happy with my Shark vacuum cleaner. Arrived early. It is very light and it’s lovely not having to think about the cord getting wrapped around furniture. It’s great not having to change the brush while vacuuming between the carpet and wooden flooring. It’s easy to use and the top part can be detached and used as a hand held vacuum which allows easy access to ledges, smaller spaces and stairs.
Love this hoover, mainly for the lack of cord. Also conveniently folds away for storage. Bin is easily detached and filters removed to wash. Anti wrap technology doesn’t work, hair still wraps around albeit less than with my previous hoover. Removable battery.
Liked the two speeds of the roller brushes and the boost lever, quite powerful and really does the job,maybe a carrying handle would help when in the free standing mode other than that, excellent and well worth the price.

Compact vacuum but the motor is disproportionately heavy and thus not converting to a hand held for the elderly frail!
Cleans deep down and copes exceptionally well with moulting golden retrievers!I was so impressed by its performance that it seemed sensible to buy spare filters to ensure good maintenance,BUT finding them for this model was impossible. Shark were extremely helpful and kind, although we now discover there is a delay with this model spares. The company is dealing with this,
If people or dogs ever tread tiny bits of grit into your carpet, think twice before buying one of these. Shark customer services only state the warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, nor do they explain how to remove grit getting stuck in the mechanism. Utube is more helpful.
This is the first vacuum I have had which has this problem, so in future it’s Gtech or Dyson for me!

This an excellent Hoover, as we’ve had our old one for a few years now, although it’s still working well, it gets frustrating having to switch between modes of cleaning, when you have a mix of wooden flooring and carpet throughout the house.
This does the job perfectly. It will easily clean the wooden and vinyl flooring that we have between two rooms and you don’t need to change any heads etc. It also glides easily across the floor and also the carpet. I would recommend that if you’ve got a particularly dirty carpet, to use the “power boost” mode, as the regular mode just doesn’t quite get the job done and left some crumbs on the carpet. This was a bit of a letdown until we discovered the power boost, and although more nosier, it’s cleaner.
It’s still quite a bulky hoover to use on stairs and to carry up and down also. I found that if you turn it to the side, you can get each stair done easily (there is an attachment for this, but for us, we found it easier to just turn it, and will try the kther attachment later.) There is a pet hair attachment (I have no pets, so I can’t comment on how easily that works) and also the nozzle attachment works well for cleaning those awkward hard to reach places.
I have quite long hair, and shed a lot all over the house. So the anti hair wrap is a bonus, but I wouldn’t say it quite works. Sure, it doesn’t wrap around one of the rollers underneath – but it does wrap around the other. This is ok, if you’re hoovering regularly, but when this was used the first time, it clearly showed how much hair the previous hoover wasn’t bothering to pick up.
This does fit under most furniture, although not under our couch, but glided under the bed before we realised what it was doing, to collect all the dust bunnies.
The battery lasts a good amount of time and charges in good time, allow you to take a break from the household chores. The instruction manual does say to let the battery fully run down, before charging, which we did on the second use, as it only lasted a little while, before conking out.
My only quibbles would be the hair wrap feature and the fact of how bulky and inconvenient it is to empty after a hard morning’s cleaning. When you see adverts for the Shark’s competitors “empties with a slide”, you do wish this was as simple. But at least it makes a change from the bags I remember of our hoovers when I was young.
Definitely worth getting, as it’s fairly self explanatory straight out of the box, and folds down nicely, to sit in a corner, until you’re next ready to use it. And it also comes with a handy bag, to store all the attachments/accessories.
Bought to replace a dyson v6 that died (and like many people I don’t want to support Dyson again) I read a lot of reviews before purchasing – most were gushing with praise and few were objective. So here’s my take after a few days:
Pros:
Superbly good at cleaning floors – far better than the dyson ever was
Battery lasts longer than the dyson
The bendy pipe works well and it packs up surprisingly small
The max power trigger is great – means you have power when you need it without leaving it on and draining the battery
Bin is actually easy to empty (unlike the dyson)
Almost as cool looking as the dyson – better in real life than in the pictures
Anti-hair wrap has worked so far – I must have spent hours cutting long hair off the previous vacuum
it’s nice and quiet. Probably less than half the noise of the V6
Cons:
The head doesn’t seem to clean as close to the edge as the dyson did and being much larger is a little more tricky for stairs. Of course you can swap to the small nozzle to do the edges
There’s no charging dock or wall bracket. This meant we have to find a space on the floor to stand it and physically plug the charge cable in instead of just hanging it up.
It’s heavy. The stick part is noticeably more heavier than the dyson but the head is really weighty. Fine for me but some of us get arm ache after using it for a little while.
The fact it’s so heavy actually made us consider sending it back but in the end the pros far outweighed the cons. I can’t imagine finding a lighter one that works so well. If you consider that it’s a cordless stick vacuum that has all the capabilities of a really decent upright then you will easily forgive a little extra weight.
