Wife loves it.
This is such a useful appliance , lightweight manoeuvrable and the battery lasts for ages. We keep it upstairs, now wife wants one for downstairs.
Great but....
It’s a little heavy so for elderly and disabled may not be great. Charges fast, picks up very well and easy to empty and store.
It’s a good hoover.
I live that it’s cordless and you can easily hoover any room. I do tent to keep my finger in high pier mode but I maybe just feel it’s better on high suction. It is a bit too heavy and can fall over easily but you can fold it down to store. I’m happy with the hoover. Recommended.
Good but heavier than competitio
Good vacuum. Nice and versatile on flat surfaces. Not great for stairs as vacuum head is quite but and heavy product. Overall very happy with purchase. Charge last longer than rival machines.
Best customer service going.
Best customer service going. 2 years after purchasing this vacuum, a part stopped working. I expected to have to purchase a new one but Shark have sent out the replacement part without any issues.
Also, cordless vacuum works well too. 2 years down and I wouldn’t go change brand. I have previously had VAX and Dyson and prefer this!
Excellent Vacuum cleaner, light weight, no more carrying heavy weight vacuum cleaners and getting out of breath.
Reasonably priced, this light vacuum cleaner you can take upstairs or down without any difficulty. Will get the dirt under furnitures and nook and concerns difficult to teach for heavy models as it lay straight and reach the dirt point.
Sufficient battery life. Once rolled down, it becomes a handy tool. Will highly recommend. Worth the money. Especially from Amazon, the best price and if you want to return in highly unlikely case, easy Amazon returns. No hassle.
I’ve been really impressed with this Hoover as I’ve always had dysons I would say the main difference and draw back to the shark is that it’s quite heavy compared to a dyson. I have fibromyalgia so this does really matter to me but on the plus side you don’t need to hold the power button down while using which did cause me pain in my hands. It also has lights on it so I can see the dusk earlier. I’m definitely really happy with it as it was much cheaper than a dyson and would probably stick with Shark in the future. Plus you get a really good battery life guarantee which was my main reason for switching brands
Great dirt pick up
Really pleased with the hoover, I was shocked by how much dirt it collected on the first time I used it. Glides easily from carpet to wooden flooring. Good choice of attachments too.
This is my first Shark hoover. This is a great hoover with good features and is very easy to use. It looks really good and stylish. Suction is good and there is a boost button for extra dirty spaces. The only thing is it felt quite heavy compared to my Dyson when it first arrived. It has taken a bit of getting used to as not as lightweight as I had hoped. Apart from that it’s a great hoover just be aware if you have switched from another brand it may be a little heavier than you expect.
I have joint and muscle pain so have been struggling to keep up with our floors in a fairly large house with 4 people and pets. Lugging the hoover up and down the stairs every day has just not been possible for me. The Shark arrived on the weekend and it’s great. Took me a little while to work out how to get the dust/dirt catcher on but once I figured it out isn’t quite easy. Fills ups quickly but once you figure it out it is easy to empty and both my son and my elderly father have vacuumed their rooms today. The shark is a hit. I like the fact that it can turn into a hand-held vacuum as well for the car, sofa and stairs. I find the carpet vacuum is much better than the floor vacuum but will try the other attachment to see how that is and possibly use the suction attachment for the sides i.e. against the wall/skirtings. Overall, I am very happy with it. I used Barclays Finance which was very easy and quick and even though I had to return another item in my order the instalment plan was adjusted.
Can do the whole house without recharging
Great suction for dog hair. None stuck to the brushes too.
Amazing cleane
Just as efficient and easy to use as I was recommended.
A little bit heavier than we imagined but does the job well
First few times we used it is so we just bought a new carpet it really did bring it back to life
Great product but don't forget to register i
If you register with shark straight away you get 5 years warranty. Their customer service is 5 sta
Powerful for a cordless
Replaced a DY-son and this is amazing at what it sucked up from my ‘clean’ floors!
A dam good hoove
My first cordless hoover and I’m glad I got this!! Its amazing.
Brilliant little vacuum
Does the whole house on one charge and picks up loads of stuff my corded vacuum misses. For the money it’s a brilliant buy.
Great vacuum
Well built though a little heavy but a great vacuum, much better than the gtech vacuum it replaced. .
Good running time from battery.
Seen these advertised on TV many times but the price has always put me off. Tried several other much cheaper cordless but their dust buckets are too small and/or low suction. Definitely a case of ‘you get what you pay for’.
The Shark is quite heavy but very efficient at what it does. Boost button for more suction and it stores away great. Very good maneuverability on the head (which even has lights so you can see in dark corners).
I have a shop within an old building with 10 rooms – cables get in the way which prevent hoovering when customers are on the premises in case they trip. With the Shark, we can nip around really easily, keeping out of they way of customers. It doesn’t get heavy use but certainly does the task well for us.
I would certainly recommend and, in fact, I am considering buying one for home use as well. It won’t replace my trusty Vax which is great for pet hair but, it is easier for spot cleans and the kitchen floor.
Excellent Vacuum Cleane
Excellent Vacuum Cleaner – much better than the Dysons we had before. A good value product that does the business
Best vacuum I've ever owned.
Easy to assemble and use. Looks great too and suction is amazing. It’s not too loud either. Quick release battery enables you to charge from any socket. So easy to empty the container too. If you register with Shark you also get a free 5 year guarantee. They even confirm this to you by post. The battery has a 2 year guarantee. My only tiny criticism is the LED light is unnecessary and could have extended the battery life which is only 40 mins. Overall though this unit is worth every penny.
This vacuum cleaner is light , good suction and love the light on front that shows the dust .
Loved how easy it separated for stairs and bends to do under sofas. Love it .
Very effective.
a little heavier than my previous cleaner but very effective and long battery function. I am happy with it.
Great value for power and being lightweigh
The Shark is really good value for money given how powerful and light weight it is. I had always had a Dyson up until now. I have found the Shark to be better, although the Dyson was an old model.
Better than Dyso
After using Dyson for years I thought it was time to change and I’m so glad I did! Battery life is amazing and suction is strong. No complaints and happy with the purchase. I purchased a spare battery but haven’t had to use it yet!
Better than my previous stick vacuum
What a great machine. Does everything we want it to do unlike our previous Dyson waste of money. This is a far better vacuum all round though a tad heavier. Bought a spare battery just in case (never needed it yet) and the dog attachment which is fab, especially good on the stairs. Fab pick up on both carpets and hard flooring.
All for a lot less than a new Dyson.
So easy to manoeve
I was very impressed by the plastic free packaging. Just shows it’s not necessary. The vacuum was extremely easy to assemble and manoevers very well. It came with a bit of a charge so I have tried it out. Very happy so far.
It’s so easy and quick to use!
I am really picky about hoovers, and have had various brands in the past but this is my favourite one to date!!! So easy to use and love the fact I can hoover underneath sofas, table, beds.. definitely recommend!!
Relatively quiet and excellent suction, love i
Quieter and much better suction than my old Dyson (and obviously cheaper too). Great accessories, especially good for sofas etc. Use it for the entire house. Wish I’d switched to this ages ago!
Pros: Lightweight, manoeuvrable, small footprint for storage, pretty good run time, can do the house much more quickly and effectively and with less sweaty effort than lugging my clunky corded old Henry up and down the stairs with me and forcefully pushing it over the carpet. This seems to glide by itself with little input from me
Cons: doesn’t work on shag pole rugs as just cuts out. So going to end up having to keep the old Henry just for that, which means I now have to find storage room for both vacuums which has defeated the object somewhat. Tried using the furniture upholstery attachment on the rug instead but it’s too small to do it. Need a non-brush roller attachment for that really. Attachments could do with having a ball joint for manoeuvring, rather than having to use it at a fixed angle. Would be handy if attachments were on the unit rather than lugging them in a bag with me and finding I’ve lost them. And, why on Earth does it have headlights? Surely that’s a battery drainer? I can’t work out why I’d need those? Is hoovering in the dark a “thing”?
Incredible machine!
This is so good. And at a fraction of the cost of certain overhyped models…. Really good to use, works very well and am.a convert now to the accessability if cordless. Will never go back. Shark are an excellent company.
Top heavy and complicated to put together.
This is an attractive colour cleaner with strong suction and numerous adaptations. However it is not light but very top heavy making it awkward to use for a pensioner with limited strength. Also it is complicated to put together if you are not technically adept.
My old Vax cleaner was much lighter, easier to use with the dust receptacle at the bottom resulting in better control.
I am disappointed that for me it is unsuitable so I had to return. It is a very good cleaner and possibly a younger fit person would not experience the problems I did. However I think having the small dust receptacle at the top unbalances it and is a poor design making it less easy to use.
Ideal
Ideal for us. The suction is great and there is a setting for carpets and one for hard floors. You can get extra power if needed and we can hoover whole house on one charge. Lightweight yo handle.
Love this!
Best hoover I’ve had in ages. Did a lot of research on this and decided to go for it. It’s not as lightweight as I thought it would be but it’s better than most and overall it’s a great hoover. The extra attachments are also really useful. If you’re on the fence about it just do it!
Great vacuum cleane
Suction is great, it picks up very closely to the edge of the wall and it has two settings – one for the smooth surface (eg tiles) and one for the carpet.
It’s heavier than the Dyson cordless I had before (which didn’t last all that long) but it’s great because it folds in half (see pic) and it can easily be hidden behind something else (if you don’t have a cupboard to put it in). Also, this might sound shallow, but this is also a more subtle green colour and not a bright, almost luminous pink like the Dyson was.
Also, again compared to the Dyson, the power lasts longer and you don’t need to empty the “bin” part of the device so often. I recommend this vacuum cleaner.
Experience was okayish -Update from a 3 star to a 4 sta
This is my first cordless vacuum. For Shark and the amount you have to pay for the product, I havent had a great experience so far. Its not designed to be very user friendly and for some very basic stuff you have to go over the manual again. I have had much cheaper products that i can easily use out of the box. The head’s quite big. My previous one (not from Shark) had a slim edge and could reach edges and corners much more easily. I have a small space with quite a bit of items lying around. A big head doesnt help much in that situation. Its also heavy which i guess is common in cordless vacuums.
Suction is great and it pulls up all hair very easily. I use it on a tiled floor. It seems better for big spaces.
UPDATE: I have gotten used to it. It’s definitely easier to use and much more portable compared to a wired vacuum. Didnt realize how much hassle a wire plugged in can be until now. Some corners are still hard to reach even with full suction on but for me its still worth the investment. Battery’s running great. I have been using it for over 6 months now and its running well
Very Manoeuvrable + 5yr guarantee
This is my third cordless cleaner. Both needed replacement pieces which either cost as much as a new one or couldn’t be replaced and both had a 2yr guarantee and only lasted that long, and I look after my machine.
I have only had this one about a month so early days but having a 5yr guarantee makes me a little more confident. It is a powerful machine which is easy to empty and the filters are easy to clean. Best of all is the flexibility of the main cleaner head, it is fantastic . At the press of a button is glides under and around my chairs and tables going from hard floors to carpet with ease. I would have given it 5* but it is fairly heavy however I have got used to that and it also has a long handle which unfortunately isn’t adjustable but the cleaning results outweigh the minor problems.
I am overall incredibly happy with this vacuum. The suction power is brilliant, the anti hair wrap works well it is very easy to use.
There are however some things that got it to 4 stars instead of 5 for me.
Disclaimer; I’ve got two golden retrievers and I myself have long hair so we’re really pushing the limits of the anti-hair-wrap system.
Pros:
-Suction power is brilliant, can clean my dark carpet totally free of dog hair and other dust in one go.
-Battery time is really good, lasts about 40 minutes with mostly hardwood floor and some carpets
-Attachments are versatile and easy to use
-It’s quite lightweight, but rolls easily which helps with the weight.
Cons:
-It’s difficult to clean
I found that the wheels quickly get wrapped and tangled in hair. The wheels do come off with a little power to be able to get it off but I find I have to do this every time I clean it. The little roller in front also tends to get quite dirty and some larger pieces gets stuck in the anti-hair wrap which means you have to get your hand and manually get it out which is a bit bothersome. I’ve also had the long handle get blocked up quite easily occasionally when hoovering carpets with a lot of dog hair so dog owners keep in mind to always check the entry of the filter and long barrel for blockage.
Perfect vacuum Cleane
Live in an old house, mainly floorboards with animals – so lots of dust and animal hair. Quickly charges and picks up all of the detrius with minimal effort. I can do the whole house in one charge. The “bendy” shaft is absolutely priceless and allows me to get under the furniture without having to move everything around. Recommended buy.
Great vac
I have had dysons for years both plug in and cordless and this Shark is far superior. It comes with a pet hair tool but haven’t had to use it yet. There is a battery light to see how much charge is left. All in all a fantastic cordless.
Best eve
I didn’t know how much better is to clean a home using this amazing shark. Very nice suction, battery is okay, and fast to be fully charged. With one full charge I could clean my home twice. I’m quite addicted for this machine. I’m very happy with my purchase and, for sure, I can recommend it 100%.
I agree with all comments in other reviews. We have a corded Henry whom we still use for proper deep cleans and heavy duty vacuuming, e.g. cars.
The Shark is brilliant, but not made for picking up little bits of stick that the dog has dissected I have to add! But it does a decent job for a daily clean and picks up the dog hairs well – the attachments are easy to exchange if you want to get into small spaces, and it’s not too heavy to get into the high window corners or other awkward spaces.
We had a blockage which meant the motor was starting to sound different – I contacted Amazon about this. We’d been cleaning the filters regularly but not the long stick part. Help was offered immediately and resolved the issue, much to my relief. I had feared that the motor was damaged, but all is smooth and slick again now.
All parts were relatively easy to disassemble and we managed to clear it so it sucks and sounds great again. The blockage was caused by some of the bits of stick the dog had chewed into pellet sizes… though now we know what to look out for 🙂
To clean the stick, you’d need to insert a longer object to remove the blockage though it also separates into enough small parts for you to get it with a little knock to move whatever lumps are in there.
For easy charging you can just remove the battery and place that on any surface so no need to find a big space to plug the whole thing in – this I also only discovered more recently and we can now charge it anywhere. The battery generally lasts us a week or so for a daily quick 10 minute once-over.
Overall it’s obviously not quite as strong as Henry in terms of suction but enough for our purposes, and the children actually enjoy vacuuming these days!
Excelle
I had to research before buying , I’ve had a dyson for years but it decided to die tried to fix it with no joy. I heard a lot of good and bad about the shark, it’s a little bit heavier than I thought but it glides over the carpet, it doesn’t tangle and it’s easy to empty and the big plus it was a good price certainly recommend
Absolutely brillia
Having this product has made my life so much better,,l also have the his big brother which l use once a week,other days l use the stick,,its great for getting under and into places, l dont have to keep moving furniture anymore,thank you l also had a shark steamer for many years but alas it has given up, l miss it,but l cant afford to replace i
Cleaner quit heavy
The cleaner is very good,but I find it very heavy,I am elderly
Love i
We have two large dogs and until now, we have always had corded vacuums for max suction power etc. I was looking for something more light weight as I’ve been struggling with tendon problems in my arms, and decided on this one. I absolutely love it. It may not have the super suction power of some corded ones, but because it is so easy to use and handy, I find myself hoovering more often and for shorter periods, making the job much less of a chore. All the various functions of unclipping for shorter stem, emptying out, swapping attachments are so easy and convenient, this is a great tool.
Much esiaer with this
I quite like how much easier cleaning up with this machine is compared to my old one. It does have a slightly smaller head unit but in return it fits into tighter bays between the furniture. Head lights are cute but I want pop-up headlights!
The stick joint feels a little wobbly at the folding joint, holds up well but with thicker carpet flooring it flexes a tiny bit. I have some question marks above my head about how long it’ll last. The dust tank, in my opinion could be a little bit bigger, I don’t have a big house but I had to empty it 3 times to get it all done.
That being said, cleaning up is made much easier for me so I’m quite happy with this machinery.
Anti Hair Wrap???
I bought this as I already have a corded Shark anti hair wrap, which is amazing, does everything it says it will. So imagine my disappointment the first time i used this, the brush was just wrapped in all the hair it had picked up (I should have listened to the other reviews). On the plus side it is every bit as good as the corded for suction power. It was a bit heavier than i expected, having had a dyson cordless before, but once you are using it you don’t notice. Another good thing is the dual setting for carpet and hard floors, and that you don’t have to hold the switch down unless you want extra power. Over all I am really pleased with cordless vacuum. Although it lost a star due to me having to clear the hair from the brush each time i use it.
Excellent gadge
This handheld vacuum cleaner literally changed the way I clean. It is so quick and easy to use and tucks away by folding in just a few seconds.
As I don’t have to pack it in it’s box after every use I can just pick it up and use it every time I want to.
Vacuuming is no longer a chore, but is actually enjoyable.
Has great suction power and really cleans and sucks the dust out of carpets. The extra power function works well for carpets.
The battery is also decent when it comes to usable time. I have 2-bedrooms and open space living and the battery is just about enough to vacuum the whole apartment and one of the bedrooms with extra power. I don’t mind having to recharge the battery though. It’s worth not having to carry bulky hoovers and trying to find a suitable plug to clean my house.
For the money it's ok
This is our second machine, first one was good until it would not turn off, touch wood the replacement is good
I am used to using the leading brand to hoover but after having numerous battery issues I decided to give this a go as there was 150.00 discount from the RRP.
I must say initially I was a bit wary because I used to just heavily rely on the reputation of the other brand but I felt like I had to be careful with this because it was new and unknown.
I was pleasantly surprised. It’s a little bit heavy to start with but moves with ease. I don’t believe I have used all its capabilities yet but it has plenty of potential.
My only disappointment is with the anti hair wrap technology. I admit that this was a huge selling point because the leading Serling brand do not have this and me and my daughter both have long hair that clogs the brush up. Unfortunately this hoover still clogs the brush which it claims not to do. Albeit not as much as other brands. Please see pic.
Very happy customer!
This vacuum cleaner is frickin amazing, i have 2 very fluffy long haired cats and an 8 year old child to contend with and this vacuum cleaner can keep up, it doesn’t lose suction as the battery runs low, it lasts for the time it takes me to clean my 2 bed house, it works for cleaning the car and has a function to increase suction if needed. Very impressed with it, and so quick and easy to use 🙂
good cleane
Very good mini vacuum for cleaning smaller spaces. Very good suction even on low setting. I use mine to clean the upstairs rooms. The battery life is plenty for this. Although not that heavy, its not exactly lightweight either, so some may find it a little difficult for carrying, especially when cleaning stairs for example. But all in all an excellent little well made vacuum, at a good price.
Better, but still not enough suctio
Having tried several cordless cleaners this is undoubtedly the best, but none bear comparison with the sheer power of the original larger motored Henry
Definitely recommend
I’ve been wanting a Shark for quite a while now, after several friends/colleagues recommended them. I actually bought mine from Amazon Warehouse so it was cheaper than the regular retail price, and an absolute bargain.
It’s really easy to put together. I didn’t need to look at any instructions as it was very intuitive. It’s easy to change the attachments. Easy to fold. Easy to unfold. Easy to charge. And overall makes the job of hoovering so much more of a joy. We have ours in the kitchen and I now hoover every night and it’s no effort to do so, so our flat stays nice and clean.
The suction is very good. Almost too good in that it literally will try to hoover up anything in its way (eg my thin rug, dressing gown tie, socks…). Thanks to the mechanism of the head, none of this actually got suctioned up. It just makes the hoover stop and then you pull the item out and begin again.
The only reason I have dropped a star is because it doesn’t vacuum so well when you pull the Shark towards you. When vacuuming forward, it’s great, but I find I have to cover an area by going over it in this way.
Overall, I would highly recommend.
Light but tricky on stairs
It’s a really impressive stick vacuum. The battery life is inconsistent – but this varies on usage pattern (hard flooring vs carpet and boost usage). Suction is good. The tool is good for the carpet. Using it on the stairs is tricky. Good in handheld mode, but more fiddly that our Miele C3, minus the handling.
Picks up a TON of debri
Absolutely love this vacuum!! I have longer hair and a few pieces of my hair does get stuck in the brush but with a little snip from some scissors and it pulls right out without being tangled. It also picks up a TON of dust and dirt, the more you pass over a spot the better. Packs away small which is nice when you have only a compact space and comes with alot of accessories to clean every but of your home. Overall super suction power, glides over carpets with ease, compact, and very sturdy HIGHLY recommend
Brilliant vacuum
I love this vacuum, it’s made my life so much easier. Extremely lightweight and easy to carry around. Part of it detaches, so you can use it to get into those tricky corners and skirting boards. It’s great at getting right underneath furniture and the suction is good. There’s a very useful light on the vacuum so you can easily see the dirt. I’ve used it twice on one full charge and there’s still plenty of charge left in the battery. Good at getting up pet hair too. It folds so it takes up very little storage space. Highly recommend!
Love the anti hair trap
Been wanting a hoover that doesn’t have hair caught in the brushes for years. This is a bit heavier than the average cordless. Charge lasts for long enough to do whole house. The bin is easy to empty. Comes with all the attachments you’ll ever need. Not keen on the bit you have to pull up to get extra power. Like the fact it folds over so you can store it standing up in small cupboard. Like the bag that holds all the accessories, I hang that inside the cupboard door.
Easy to use on hard surfaces and carpet and under furniture.
Not as lightweight as other cordless vacs but it is very easy to switch from using the wand to using just the hand held vac. Very easy to empty and to wash the dust cup and filters. The battery pack is quite small and can be plugged in anywhere. The battery then lasts for about 2 hours which actually is enough time to spend vacuuming – life is for living! If you use the turbo charge switch this does drain the battery quite quickly. We have now been using ours for 3 months and we are very happy to recommend it.
Was so excited to get this hoover (showing my age I know) putting it together takes seconds *check* comes with lots of nifty attachments *check* and straight out the box kinda feels heavy….. however when you switch it on the magic happens… with the front roller on it kinda drives itself; eating up the carpet and you just gotta hang on!! … that my friend I give a 10/10 anything that’s less effort on my part is a winner.
When I first got it I thought the little light on the head was laughable, I mean wtf right… just using battery power that you’ve never got enough of anyway…. well I’ll tell you now I was WRONG if I hoover without my glasses on it becomes the most incredible little toy detector in fact they should rename it the lego finder 3000!!! So another *check*
Right now I do have a massive problem with this hoover and it’s a big one….. if you live in a normal house, with kids and pets and those fully grown men (or women) babies that make mess for fun; then you are going to be unblocking this thing 100times a room…. why oh why can’t they just make the tube wider there’s absolutely nothing wrong with a bit of girth guys!! Baring in mind that this was probably designed by men I’m surprised!! It reminds me of my ex all the promise with none of the prowess!!!
Get yourself a unblocking stick and get ready!! Luckily they at least made it slightly easier for you by being able to take different parts apart to get in easier… if you live in one of those immaculate hinch type show homes I’m sure this won’t be a problem for you…. (lucky b*ggers)
I can’t comment on the bend in the middle doberiewotsit as all our furniture is too low to allow the head underneath as I’m sure most modern furniture is… meaning that part is useless and it’s still a pull it all out and hoover underneath job!!
That being said I’m not put off this hoover… I don’t hate it…. its just infuriating, I’m forever hopeful an XL model will come out and then I’ll be all over it!!!
Best vacuum cleaner I've ever had
I have been interested in the Shark vacuums for a while and bit the bullet with this model as it was on offer. I haven’t regretted it. The anti-hair wrap technology is great and I haven’t got/had any hair caught around the mechanics. I did look on the Shark website and they say if this does happen, to hold the power boost button for a few minutes and this should dislodge any hair caught. As yet, I haven’t experienced this. The house has never felt so clean. The hoover has fantastic suction and the lights at the front are great for showing up the dust, enabling you to pick up so much more than a conventional vacuum. The bag for the accessories is a really nice touch for storage too. I like the fact that you have a separate setting for hard or soft flooring. The battery life is excellent. I followed the first use instructions in the manual to ensure that I set the battery up properly. The five-year guarantee is very easy to set up via Shark’s website too. I am hugely impressed with Sharks offering and this model of vacuum. Shark is definitely now my choice for future appliances.
Very powerful
My Shark arrived yesterday and it is by far the best I have ever had. It is heavy but as amazing suction even on the low level. It came with a bag to put all the attachments in and a little brush to clean it with. It take 4 hours to fully charge. The tub for the dust is easily removed to empty into the bin. As for anit-hair , it lives up to what it said, no hair to untangle in the brush. It cave a few days before its due date. I highly recommend this product.
