Good for filthy people.
I would have dropped a few stars, as the partner has made me use it more than I would like to, but it’s lightweight, sucks like a… erm… sucker fish? Yes, a sucker fish, and is small and easily storable.
Makes a nice voom noise too when you use it.
Great worth all five stars
I have read a lot of articles and reviews about vacuum cleaners (how exciting is my life?!). It did boil down to either a Dyson or Shark. I have had Dyson’s for twenty odd years so there was also a bit of brand loyalty making the decision more difficult. I have always found Dysons a bit heavy so he fact that the Shark is very light was the deciding factor as they seemed neck and neck otherwise. The Shark is very easy to use on the stairs being able to separate the middle section of the vacuum makes it even lighter. The wand on the Dyson was a bit of a fight to get out – the Shark’s wand is very easy to use. I like the light on the front of the vacuum showing up the dust. The flex is very long which is good. Suction is great you can change the settings to cope with carpet as well as floors and on top of that have varying degrees of suction power. The dust carrier is a bit small but really not an issue – it is easily removable. All in all I think it is a super little vacuum I am very pleased with my purchase. It also has a five year free guarantee.
Excelle
Very good hoover. Looks like I’ve been walking on a sandy beach for the past 5 years. I thought the last hoover was good. But then used this on what was to my wife (not being sexist but she finds hoovering satisfying, whereas I hate it) a pristine hoovered carpet. Boy, she was wrong. The bucket/trap or whatever it is called was half full of dust/grit/crap from the one carpet. Couldn’t believe it. Thought it must have arrived used, but of course it wasn’t. It was just that good.
It’s light weight, and easy to use.
Only problem so far is the head of the hoover tends to bounce it’s way back, so pushes forwards doing a nice job then bounces when drawing it back towards you. Then on a lighter carpet in another room it bounces along when pushing forwards. Feels like hoovering a sandy beach after the tides gone out. Full of ripples. Very odd. Any idea?
Other than that it’s an excellent hoover to replace what was once an excellent hoover, ha.

Most powerful cleaner ever!
I think I’ve had most males of vacuum cleaner and this is by far the most powerful. The reason I have this 4 stars rather than 5 is sometimes it is so powerful I struggle to move it – although a simple turn down of power fixes this.
Excellent for stair use and comes with a pet turbo brush which really helps keep stairs and sofa clean.
It is so easy to keep clean and empty – this vacuum is a pleasure to own and use
The best hoover I have ever had
So light weight. The best Hoover I have ever had
Don't delay, buy today
So we all seem to think our carpets are reasonably clean right? Well after using this amazing machine for the first time this morning I can now say my carpets are clean. It lifted months of dirt and dust that was left behind from having my home remodelled that my old vac just wasn’t able to do and when I finished hoovering I was honestly ashamed. TBH I’m glad no visitors are allowed because I would have been mortified had they seen what I thought were clean carpets. The only down side of the machine itself is the fact that when you use the lift away section I find the pole is much too short for using in the bathroom or the landing and I’m only just over 5ft so anyone taller it would be back breaking. To be fair I could have used the stand for doing the landing carpet but I wanted to use the smaller foot to really brush the carpet at the same time. I am now going to search for an extension pole because it would be more suitable to use the lift away section for upstairs as it is a little on the heavy side for me and I would find it much easier to use. But after saying all that I am a little in love with it and how well it performs, the suction is fantastic, it comes apart and goes together again in a click…. Don’t delay, buy today!

Best vac I have ever owned.
It’s a great Vac. I have owned 2 Shark corded vacs before. They both worked faultlessly for 6yrs+. They both had 1450w suction and got the carpets clean of all dirt and dog hairs. This replacement vac has a much lower 750 watt suction but is more powerful. Brilliant build quality and the lift off feature is the one I use for cleaning staircase.
I’ve also owned v expensive rechargeable vac, but found that over time the suction performance and battery life substantially reduce. I will stick with Shark mains powered vac and this is a very good vac.

I had an old 2kW Samsung Vacuum and I couldn’t find anything with a similar power.
the Samsung managed to get out the dog hair from the carpet only with some help of a carpet brush. I decided to make a detailed analysis of all the vacuum cleaners exist in the market.. it was clear that 2kW vacuums are not manufacture any more due to new regulation that limit the amount of power consumption a vacuum can take from the grid. furthermore, the 2kW is the input power not taking into account the efficiency. that suggest you can get a 90% efficiency vacuum and get 1.8kW suction power and similarly 50% and 1kW and they both will be a 2kW vacuum. therefore this parameter is almost not useful. The market analysis helped me understand that when dealing with dogs and carpet the most important thing is the tools the vacuum offer and only then the suction power. I narrow it down to the Shark NV602UKT and the dyson animal big ball. it looks that the price different between them is not justified at all.. I am using Shark vacuum for a few weeks and it is amazing. taking all the hair out from the carpet perfectly with minimal effort. it is not lightweight at all but compare to the old Samsung it is light. The animal tool is very nice for removing hair from the stairs and the flashlights are more useful than I thought because it help detect dirt and hairs. Very powerful vacuum and I will defiantly recommend it.
Very good vacuum
Ok. So I have had this nearly a month. Compared to my old vacuum, different make, it is very good. The suction is so strong I cannot use it full, but have to turn the suction down. Or it is too hard to push. You can see the nap go the other direction! It changes from carpet to hard floor setting too, by the on off switch. I love. The way it swivels around corners. And goes under tables. The LED lights on the front of it make it useful if you have sight problems, to see if you have missed anything. It is so easy to switch to the extention or lift off to take upstairs. And it’s all done via the one unit. So no fear the spider will run away, whilst you change the handle to the tube, like my old hoover! Its so easy to change from one use to another. No faffing with taking one bit off and fitting it elsewhere! It’s light to take up the stairs, once removed from its bottom. And you know the bits are fitted back as you can hear an audible ‘click’ changing from one use to the other. The cartridge that holds the rubbish is not large. But it will easily hold two or three rooms of dirt before emptying. And I have a dog and two cats. The tools don’t fall off! Unlike my other one, where I gave up. And ended up forgetting where I had left them! It also comes with a pet attachment that is loud but very effective on sofas. The hoover itself is not very loud. The cable is a good length. Although it can fall over, during certain use, ie cleaning the sofa, I have found this with my old vacuum too. So it’s how I am using it rather than the unit itself. Although it is very stiff. The foam filters can be washed and reused. I was very pleased with this! No need to pay out for expensive filters. The only down side being you need to give them a full 24 hours to dry. So if you need the hoover in that time you cannot use it, The Warrantee is five years. I think. Very good, they stand by their product. Although you MUST activate it to be able to use it! You do this by doing it online. So far I am very pleased with this. I will update with further comments as needed. I did get it in the sale. So got it for 149. Rather than 225. Tbh if it had been full price, it would have been out of my price range.
Update March 2021; had it a few months now. Yes it is a good Hoover. Although it does not like picking up bigger ( cat litter pellet size) bits without have to use the stick, which is a pain. The main issue is a cannot find filters for this anywhere! Even here, the filters it offers look the wrong shape. So I sincerely hope this will not be an issue.
Best vacuums ever!
I bought a shark upright a couple of years ago and I am 100% pleased with how it performs. I bought this one so I could have one upstairs and one downstairs! There are some changes in the new one (mainly suction variants) and I’m not finding it so good on rugs and mats. I wish they hadn’t changed things on the new one. Other than that, they are the best vacuums I have ever had.

Amazing results collecting fluff, hair dirt. Colour lovetoo
After hoovering night before. My daughter hooved with my new shark when arrived following day yesterday. I was shocked and amazed how much dirt and fluff filled my new shark cylinder. Thankyou so much love the colour, the beautiful lights to show up missed fluff etc. I love it and poor Henry has been put away x
Great bu
Wow. Very impressed with this vacuum. The best I’ve ever had. After having a dyson plug in that lost suction after a while and a cordless one that was literally less suction then if I’d lucked on the carpet through a paper straw I am over the moon with this. The hard floor setting is great on our wood floors downstairs and the led light is really handy for not missing bits. But on the stairs and upstairs was where the difference really showed. After just one room, the amount of dust in the chamber was horrendous! Like I’d never vacuumed it before despite hoovering every other day. The carpets feel softer under foot and almost look new. All the people moaning about it being hard to push on carpets I would suggest are not very strong as I am 5 ft 2 and a petite frame and can manage it. Yes it does give yours arms a workout but literally because the suction is that powerful! Highly recommend.

Walks all over Dyson !! And I’m a massive Dyson fa
We vacuum every day due to very fluffy cats, we currently use a battery Dyson V8 animal. It’s washed and serviced with new filters as recommended. My neighbour has always said how good Sharks are so I decided to buy at this special price of 149.
Carpets and stairs were vacuumed Friday morning, Shark came Friday afternoon, and as you can see I filled the bin up in one hit !!!! We are clean living people and this has shown how rubbish the Dyson is. Yes it’s light and easy to use but I’ll never buy a Dyson again !!!

What do I like about this hoover?
EVERYTHING!
This arrived today and my childish brain kicked in. I got it straight out of the box, assembly was amazing and easy.
The power, WOW! I would not recommend this hoover for high pile carpet cleaning as the brush at the base of the hoover cannot be turned off.
With low pile carpets like mine, the Old Dyson Pet hoover would just push the carpet pile down and pick up the bare minimum. I would have to go back and forth for an easy 20 Min in an average size room.
But the SHARK! It’s an ANIMAL of pure Suction, it sees a carpet and puts life into it while pulling at every hair, piece of dust and anything in its way and straight into its easy to operate bagless chamber.
The lift away option is amazing, especially for stairs and it is remarkably light. So anyone suffering with back issues or fatigue would love this.
To summarise, this hoover makes other Hoover’s run and hide in shame.
Great little sucke
Hetty died, so I needed a replacement. Wish I’d done it years ago tbh. Hovering the stairs is so easy, with the ‘lift away’ feature. I even like the headlights! There is an option for hard floor or carpet. Emptying the dirt container is easy and mess free.
My only gripe would be the roller-if you live in a house with long haired ladies, the hair wraps round the roller, causing a red light to come on, you then have to spend time, unravelling the hair from the front brush/roller.
But overall, I’m really pleased with this vacuum cleane

An excellent little machine.
I am very impressed with this little machine. I did not expect it to perform the way it has for being so little in comparison to other big brands such as Dyson. We have a Dyson and I had just hoovered the day before we got this machine and it picked up quite a lot of dust even though the carpets looked clean (as per photo). This little unit is more than half the price of a decent Dyson and out performs them in every way.
I quite like the fact that it is belt-less for the main roller as this is controlled by a motor and only time will tell if this is better for longevity. I also like the fact that it has LED headlights for the floor head as this does help even in bright lighting conditions.
It’s maneuverability is quite easy, but it is hard to push due to the suction power gripping the carpet.
The noise this little machine makes is at least half of that of our Dyson and over vacuums we have had previous.
I suppose the only down side to it, is that the pet hair removal tool does not have a space to be stored on the main unit.

I love my new Shark!!
I researched a lot of hoovers before finally deciding to go with this and I am soooo pleased I did!! Have had two Dysons before and thought they were good but my new Shark has sucked up so much dust from the carpets, its shocking!! This is lighter to carry and the lift away function for the stairs is brilliant. My stair carpet looks so much cleaner. Also impressed at the length of the electric cord I can plug in downstairs and still be using it for the upstairs landing! Brilliant little machine!!
I was disappointed that the delivery was two days longer than stated and no reason given. The vacuum cleaner is great though. I had taken down my Christmas decorations and had to vacuum using my old Hoover as I was still waiting for this one to arrive, when it got here I thought I would try it out and see what it was like. It managed to get more dust out of my carpets and my old machine was making my carpets flat and hard, this one has given them more life again, making them softer. It is easy enough to use once you get the hang of hard floors= high suction, carpets= low suction. The only problem I have with it is it doesn’t like my door mat, even in low suction it has problems with it. I love the headlights feature, now I will never suck up little bits of lego again!
I have been wanting to invest in a Shark for a while after reading raving reviews and I finally took the plunge on a great black Friday deal. I am so obsessed, I use it on a daily basis! It’s so easy to use and manoeuvre. Suction is great, far better than my previous VAX hoover. The release from the base function is super handy, especially for the stairs. Very easy to bin the dirt and opens at both ends so easy to clean also! The only slight negative I have found so far is that it does fall over really easily when you’re using the pipe. This is because it’s so lightweight which I wouldn’t change because I hated ferrying a bulky vacuum around! I am also a cleaner and I take this on jobs with me because it’s so nifty! Would definitely recommend, wish I hadn’t waited so long to invest!
A bit heavy but cleans well
Great value vac which cleans really well on wood floors and carpet. Need to push it well on the carpets so not a good choice for the less able.
Does the job!
Read lots of reviews before buying. Great suction, fairly lightweight but not as light as I expected from the adverts. Small collection box so needs emptied fairly frequently.

Best ever pet vacuum cleane
This is a fantastic product. We have dogs and cats which leave hair everywhere. We noticed that the Shark we had was no longer managing to do the job. Hair would remain in the carpet fibres. This one is amazing! We couldn’t believe how clean our carpets became after just one hoover. Works well on laminate too. Very powerful and light weight. Nice design and colour too. I can’t fault it. Definitely the best hoover I have ever had.
Excelle
We don’t have stairs but for the rest of the flat it’s excelle

I LOVE MY SHARK!!! No I haven’t been paid to say that! This thing is AMAZING!!! If it’s possible to be in love with a hoover then I am! It even looks pretty. It sat in the corner of my lounge for a couple of days after it arrived – just so I could bask in its beauty!! 😀 I have struggled for years with a very hairy dog, a football playing muddy son and (I now realise) a crappy hoover! This baby though is light, it manoeuvres smoothly, it even has headlights – which at first I thought was a gimmick but it actually enables you to see properly under/behind furniture. The extra heads are great too, especially the pet hair one and the suction is awesome. You can see in my photos how much it picked up just in my lounge!! We had only hoovered it a couple of days before with our old hoover. Fantastic and gross at the same time! :O
I suffer with a bad back and carrying a heavy hoover up the stairs meant I often left it to my bf. He’s chuffed to bits now that I’m more than happy to just unclip the dust caddy, shorten the hose (all very quick and easy) and off I go!
Don’t bother scrolling any further – as far as I’m concerned – every home should have a shark in it!!
Quality and gvm
Reasonably well made,good suction,lights at front of hoover,easy to use.
Very good hoover for the lower sale price.
Well if you want good suction and easy to do stairs,this is the hoover for youMy rug looks like new again,I was amazed how much it brought it up,and my stairs which got neglected because of my previous hoover being so heavy,are once again looking good.What I will say is be careful to choose the right setting ,as the high one nearly sucks the carpet up and makes it difficult to push,this happens when it’s on the wrong one.I have since found the right setting and part to do different things and it’s great.
Amazed with this hoover !
This Hoover has powerful suction yet is really quiet, I had hoovered my rug the night before with my old hoover and it was clean to the eye, yet when I went over it the next day with this Shark it lifted so much I had no idea was even there! It’s really easy to put together and use, emptying is really simple, the cord is long enough to do a full large room no problem, I’m glad I went for this hoover !
Here comes jaws Of the cleaning world
This vacuum cleaner is unbelievable I have had a Dyson in the past that’s all I ever bought but this is miles better cannot fault it in any way 10 out of 10 on everything
Very good hoover for the lower sale price.

Shark NV602UKT
I ordered this hoover after reading a lot of the reviews, also a friend has a Shark (Cordless). It arrived on time, and i used it to hoover my new living room carpet. I was really surprised with how powerful the suction is. I thought i was a bit of a clean freak, but the dust and dog/cat hair it took out of the carpet was unbelievable. I would definitely recommend this model.
I registered it online today, and all it wanted was the model number, where i bought it from and my email address. I thought this weird, as i thought it would ask for a copy of proof of purchase.

I ordered this hoover after reading a lot of the reviews, also a friend has a Shark (Cordless). It arrived on time, and i used it to hoover my new living room carpet. I was really surprised with how powerful the suction is. I thought i was a bit of a clean freak, but the dust and dog/cat hair it took out of the carpet was unbelievable. I would definitely recommend this model.

Amazing and brilliant, better than my dyso
My god this thing is incrediable, after switching from a dyson ball dc41, which I thought was great, this shark wins hands down, easy to set up, easy and lightweight to use, the suction is immense, pulling it self down onto the floors surface meaning it gets right down into the fibers, the bright led lights infront are a bonus really bright and eliminates any fine dust you wouldn’t normally see infront of you, after first use the dust compartment was half full, and I only hoovered the previous day with my dyson, just shows how dated and rubbish the dyson is, you can disconnect everything and use it as a carry upstairs hoover to do the stairs, or use it with the wand to save bending down, the only two downsides are of you use the wand you can only go 4 foot without the rest of the hoover toppling over, secondly is that powerful on hard floors, it’s difficult to push around due to huge suction onto the floor, so you do need to use your muscles, it has a switch for use on hard floors, then flick the switch and it becomes more powerful for carpets, not so good in corners though as it has a flat front, hence the need to use the wand then to get into crevices, so glad I bought this it’s made everything so clean, and one added bonus, it has a built in fresher so it smells amazing
Good quality product , well packaged, very easy to assemble took minits.
No complaints about product . However annoyed with delivery driver , parcel was on my doorstep for 2 hours before I knew about it, in clear view of any passers by , I only knew it was there when checking for updates I said parcel was handed to resident on update info , it definitely was not , I was in the whole time , never even heard them knock the door, just left.Lucky it wasn’t stolen.
Amazing
Couldn’t wait for this to arrive, arrived on time, packaged well and was intact. It was easy to assemble. Time to try out ….like others have mentioned I thought my carpets clean… My oh my how wrong I was, I couldn’t believe the amount of dust as well as dog hair it picked up in just several sweeps , I am utterly amazed. Some people have said it is heavy, in my opinion it is light weight to manoeuvre when not in use, but on full suction on carpet it is quite hard going, but feel it’s worth it for all the stuff it picks up. The only downside/ concern is that because it is hard to push when in use it felt a bit wobbly where the drum lifts off the base. Glad I bought the car cleaning set too to compliment it.

Powerful Suctio
A few years back I purchased a cordless vacuum from Amazon because our old vacuum had given up the ghost and I was tired of tripping over the cord. Well now I have gone full circle and and purchased the Shark. Our cordless one is fine for a quick run around but it doesn’t have the suction power to lift all the bits and the battery life is waning.
After assembly, which was quick and easy, I swept the carpet with the cordless and then switched on the Shark. The suction was so powerful, the vacuum stuck to the carpet, so I opened the byepass slot on the handle which made things easier. I couldn’t believe the amount of dust that it picked up. The generously sized cylinder was nearly half full. Praise indeed. My only complaint is the cable. It is very stiff. If the outer sheath was made from either a more supple plastic or even silicone rubber the machine would be perfect.
Easy to use and assemble.
This is a good item, picks up the dog hairs very well, which is why I bought it, but it is also a bloomin good cleaner as well and very good value for the money I paid for it. I have only had it for a couple of days and I will comment at a later date when it has had more use. but for now 10 stars.

Amazin!!!!! I have use dyson for many years now, I heard how amazing these hoovers are I have wanted one for a year now but with a big price tag of 270 I just couldn’t afford one or even justify spending that amount of money on a hoover……. I was given money for Christmas and thought right now I am going to buy one… I seen the price had dropped to 150! And I brought it immediately. I ordered it yesterday morning and it come today (amazing thanks prime) I hoovered my daughters bedroom yesterday with my dyson… so as soon as the shark come I set it up and went straight up to the kids room I done about 4 strokes and the tank was nearly full of dust!!!!! So so so shocked! The carpet isn’t just super clean now its made the carpet soft on the feet again!!! The carpet is just over 2 years old and was very expensive and the dyson seemed to of flattered it so the nice softness was gone….. but now with this hoover it feels like new again!!!! Abouslatey amazed by it! It is 100% 270 but as this bargain price is the best ever! Extremely highly recommended!!!!
****** update********* the hoovered stopped working yesterday 17/08/21 was so so loud and stopped picking up, I cleaned the filters every month ect.
I went on live chat with amazon yesterday about 4pmish informed them and they apologise immediately and offered me a full refund or a brand new replacement. I opted for a replacement of course and it arrived today at 2.30pm ish. The old one is all boxed up ready to be picked up. I have registered the hoover now on shark website and got 5 years warranty with them. I honestly did think amazon couldn’t do much with it being way over 30days but it wasn’t not problem at all. Excellent customer service amazon! New hoover is working perfectly thank you ever so much.
Even tho my hoover did just randomly stopped working my sister and step mum’s (both got from amazon the day after me) are still going strong and fine. I just think it was one of them things that can happen from time to time. I STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HOOVER
Thought we had new carpets!
I bought this as a gift for my partner, and he is obsessed with it! We have beige carpets and two dark haired cats and we’ve never been able to fully get their hair out – until 1 use of this! The cat hair was sucked out of the carpet immediately, but just within 30 seconds of using it we could see that the tank was half full of dust and dirt which made us realise how bad our previous hoover was.
Our carpets look brand new, and we also didn’t feel snuffly like we would due to the dust with previous hoovers.
It’s on a ball so it’s easy to navigate around the home, however it’s not so light-weight until you take it off of the main upright attachment and hold it just as a tank and hose – but that’s kind of what you would expect for something that can do a powerful job.
We now fight over who is going to hoover the carpets and the rug because it makes us feel like we’re the ones doing the work (but of course it’s all thanks to the Shark!)
Got this for wife for Xmas, I know bad man its what she wanted lol . God she loves it so happy so really this is her review old Henry been put to bed in shed gonna draw face on this when she not looking lol
Where to start? I guess with the packaging, which is nearly all paper and card. The only bit of plastic was on the wire tie holding the cable, so 10/10 for that. Next comes putting it together, which took no more than a couple of minutes, so another 10/10.
Then we get into using it. It’s not the lightest weight vacuum cleaner I’ve ever had, but it is extremely manoueverable, so 9.9/10 there. The suction is almost epic. I’m not sure if the cat is still in hiding or was eaten by the Shark. The amount of dust that came out of my carpets is positively embarrassing; they’re a different colour now. The tools are well designed and mostly perfectly to hand, except there’s three tools and only two storage points.
Over all, I’d give this vacuum 9.99/10 and well worth the money. For anyone who prefers an upright, you probably couldn’t get better.

Very good
Very good for laminated floor. Carpets requires a good technique 😉 but result is spectacula
Great all-round vacuum cleaner.
When I saw this vacuum cleaner on special offer (I have been needing a decent one for a while!) and having read some of the surprising not-so-great reviews, I consulted with my partner & bought it.
I am NOT disappointed.
It works great on carpets & hard floors.
I think that the problem is that some buyers who rated it poorly because of the suction power may have overlooked that fact that you need to ensure that you select the ‘carpet’ switch on the main body of the vacuum cleaner & on the handle; if you’re vacuuming carpets, select ‘min’ suction (otherwise it will stick to the carpet).
For hard floors, you need to do the opposite (select max suction on the handle & hard floors on the body).
We have thick carpets downstairs & it works well.
As for stairs, with it being a lift-away model, it’s a life-changer.
Comes with decent tools e.g. pet tool, nozzle etc.

I have never had an upright cleaner before so my judgement is also influenced by a total change of method but here goes – bought the cleaner to replace my trusty but very elderly Dyson cylinder vac – it was easy to put together with satisfying clicks and clunks at each stage. When I first turned it on and attempted a medium pile carpet I could barely get it to move at all .. it was literally sucked to the floor. I persevered and the carpet sprang back to life. Upon attempting the newest and fluffiest carpet I finally realised that you need to adjust the strength of the suck by moving the slider on the handle – this worked a treat !! Although saying that it’s hard to get it to stay in position because it gets knocked by your hand as you vacuum. The removable unit to do the stairs is excellent and not an ordeal at all. Emptying it is easy the bottom of the unit pops open and it all falls out (although initially I did what another reviewer did and turned it upside down because I didn’t notice the catch on the base). It definitely sucked up a lot of nasty dust, although whether this is coz it’s an excellent machine or whether it’s because my old was was definitely not performing well so there was lots of nasty dust to suck I am not sure. I shall definitely persevere – but it’s not a machine for anyone who has weak arms.

Best thing I've bought in ages.
A friend recommended a shark as I’d always had a henry hoover but my henry broke last week. I took the plunge and oh my goodness I’m so glad I did. This is the best thing I’ve bought in a long time. It’s lightweight, it’s incredibly powerful, you can empty it so easily, it lights up which is just super cool and for 169.99 I think I got an absolute bargain. I’m so happy and it’s also got a 5 year guarantee.
My carpets are clean … at last! I’ve given up on suctionless cordless hoovers and returned to corded, never again will I stray to expensive, overhyped/overpriced vacuums that don’t deliver the cleaning power they promise. This hoover does! Its easy to use, easy to empty and cleans brilliantly. Yes its a bit heavier to push around, and its not as lightweight as most cordless, but thats a small price to pay for the improved performance. The tools that come with it do most jobs needed around the home and the lift away option is great for stairs and upholstery cleaning. Would I buy this hoover again – absolutely!

Just okay
Okay. The suction power on this is so strong I can’t use it on Lino floors or very thick carpet. I’m hoping it’s one of those things that goes with time as vacuums do tend to lose a little suction after a month or two of use. The attachments are nice and I like that I can disconnect the waste compartment so I don’t have to run around with the whole vacuum which makes it good for things like sofas. I actually don’t have stairs so I can’t say how it does on there but if you disconnect the waste compartment and use an attachment instead I’d assume it goes quite well. Quite an expensive vacuum I just wish the suction could sort itself out. I also can’t say the hard floor carpet lever does much. But it’s hard to get a vacuum these days for decent money that actually works after a month of having it. If you have the money, go for something fancier from shark and not this. If you don’t then this good for the money in terms of longevity of a product even though it has some issues here and there.

Better than Dyson!
Got an old Dyson that needs replacing. Did some research online and everyone is talking about Shark. At first I was reluctant about buying a Shark and still wanting to buy another Dyson. But I am so pleased that I went for Shark. The suction is super good that I’m really shock by how much dust it suck up from the carpet. Very easy to clean. Only concern is that the machine is rather heavy compare to Dyson, it’s a bit like a work out hoovering. However, with the strong suction and easy clean, I don’t think I will ever be going back to Dyson again. Highly recommended.

I absolutely love this shark,I hoover all rooms first then waited for my shark to arrive, putting it together was a breeze then hoovered every room again and what can I say!! I feel like I’ve been living in a novel, the hair,dust and dirt that came out of my carpets was unreal. You won’t be disappointed if you buy this. Highly recommended

Arrived very well packed ….. each individual part wrapped. I thought it would take ages to sort and put together, but no, I was pleasantly surprised …. it all clicked together in a couple of minutes. Lightweight and great suction. The lift off seems easy, though I haven’t used that yet. I vacuumed my lounge carpet straight away, and though it had only been vacuumed 2 days before, it collected an appreciable amount. I am well pleased. Excelle
Great produc
Really good hoover which I would say is better than the Dyson that we had previously. I have 2 minor issues with it though, 1. When using the wand, the base unit constantly falls over, partly due to the lightweight nature I suspect. 2. The collect bucket is very small that requires emptying every second use of the Hoover.
The option to reduce the suction on thick carpets is a great feature.

I bought this in the Black Friday sale at half price. What a fantastic machine this is. I hoovered my floors yesterday and they looked really clean. You should have seen the amount of dust this vacuum pulled out of the carpets today, when I used this machine. Absolutely unbelievable.
Great suction, easy to manoeuvre , easy to empty and onboard storage for the various tools that come included with it.
I love the “headlights” at the front, so that you can see behind those sofas and underneath the dining table.
There is a lift away section that makes hoovering the stairs a doddle.
I cannot find anything negative to say about it. I highly recommend it.

What an amazingly power vacuum!! Very light weight and maneuverability is fantastic, it pivots and turns the tightest cornerswith ease. The 2 powers settings are great, 1 for hard floor and 1 for carpet, a nice long power cord and not overly loud when running. After 1 use, it was as though we had never vacuumed before (although we did, regularly). Never going to use a Dyson again, Shark is far superior!!

Don't hesitate
Was starting to find another well known brand very hard to manoeuvre.
This has great reviews and several family members have this make.
I went for the corded one and not disappointed. After one use carpet looks amazing. Light and easy to manoeuvre.
When first used was lifting it off the floor because used to a heavy one.
So easy to use as handheld and to empty. The floor lights are a very useful finishing touch.
Amazed and a little bit disgusted at how much dust and dirt this vacuum cleaner picks up…
My only complaint is that the wire tend to get tangled and the hook provided to keep it our of the way is somewhat ineffective and the wire keeps falling off.
Other than that, probably the best I e ever used!

I’ve only used this a couple of times but so far so good. The suction is good, I hadn’t vacuumed for a while due to my old cleaner breaking and it did a great job. Easy to empty, holds a fairly good amount before needing to empty it. The headlights are really useful for spotting dust and dirt I might otherwise have missed under the table, settee etc. I also think it looks great. I would say the only downside is it’s heavy to manouvre but you can take the body off and carry it while using the hose/attachment which is really handy. The wire reaches longer than any I’ve used before, I could reach up to the top of the stairs on the top floor of my three storey terraced house before I had to unplug it on the ground floor to reach further.
This was a early Christmas present for my daughter took it over Wednesday night just before lockdown.she opened it and was over the moon to have a shark vax .tried it out straight away and what a difference to her carpet and she had just hoovered with her old vax.just been on the phone this morning and still going on about her stark vax.so l am pleased.

I bought this to replace my old Dyson cleaner. Compared to how ridiculously expensive some of the newer vacuum cleaners are, this really is good value for money. I have not had it long, so I can’t attest to its longevity or durability yet. It is lightweight, good suction power and thanks to the removable top half, it his highly manoeuvrable. It makes cleaning the interior of the car or the stairs infinitely easier than before.

Love this hoover, living on a building site the dust that collects in my house is unreal, my dyson just wasnt up to the job. Bought the sharked vacuumed the day after using my Dyson and what the Shark got up was crazy, i had to empty it after first use. It is a heavy hoover but when it makes my 7 year old carpet look brand new i dont care about the weight. Dont know why it took me so long to purchase.

This hoover is like no other, the sheer suction power made my carpets sparkle. With my old hoover my floors were always coarse however the Shark Lift-Away Upright Vacuum Cleaner has made them fluffy again. 10/10 would recommend. Lovely product.

Never going back to a Dyson! This has excellent suction while remaining lightweight and easy to manoeuvre. The pipe it also very easy to take out/put back (no sticking or force needed) whist also being easy to use and keeping great suction. The lift away feature makes it that much better too!
We have two extra fluffy Golden Retrievers … that shed all.day everyday… and it handles all their hair like it’s nothing. Works especially well on the stubborn trampled in hair too.
110% reccomend.
Game changer :)
What a game changer, I’ve had a very well known make of vacuum for ever and after seeing previous Shark reviews I purchased one, what a game changer, my carpets (which I vacuum daily) look like new the dog hair has vanished. The lift away section is lightweight for carrying on the stairs, the suction power on carpets is amazing. I’m only disappointed that I didn’t purchase one years ago 🙂
Brilliant!
I love my shark NV602UK vacuum cleaner, however,the suction is a little too strong and that is why it has lost a star for the suction! I love how easy it is to vacuum the stairs with it lifted off.
I would definitely recommend it.
I spent some time reading reviews for a new vacuum cleaner and very pleased I made this choice. It feels as though the carpet is being sucked into the vacuum cleaner! Highly recommend
I have worked in housekeeping for a few years so I have used quite a few hoovers. This one is light,very efficient. Like every thing….and everyone, it needs to be handled with care.
Very happy with it. Thank you!

Needed a new vacuum. Saw this on special, did a little research and clicked that button.
Easy to put together. Fairly lightweight, and you can detach the motor and carry around one handed to get to those awkward places, like curtains and underneath grandma.
Suction power is great, with two settings for hard floors and carpets. First use made the carpet in the living room look like new – and yes, I should vacuum more often.
The pet cleaning tool isn’t just a gimmick either. Tried it out on some cushions etc, removed all cat hairs etc very efficiently.
Tried it on the cat, but she called her lawyer. Oh well..
Floor unit part works fine too. Had two reasonably powerful LED lights, so you can see under things and remind yourself why you need to vacuum more.
What else?
Emptying it is easy peasy, lemon squeezy. The only thing I could criticise, is that the actual dust/cat hair/old toenails collection receptacle is a tad small. Lots of trips out to the garbage bin, but, its easy to empty, with a trapdoor mechanism so you don’t even need to stick your hand in among the unmentionables to empty it out.
The suction is a might powerful to be used on small rugs, as I found out, among various Laurel & Hardy scenes of me waving the wand end about with a rug attached, yelling “Stop! Damn you! STOP!”
We live and learn, and that’s not really a complain about Le Shark.
That’s it. Very good vacuum. Tad pricey, unless you get it on special, but for the money either way, it does the job.
so happy I bought this hoover instead of another Dyson! Its the best hoover I’ve ever owned. It gets so close to the skirting boards that I don’t even have to use the attachment that comes with it!
On opening the box and pulling out the main tube I had a little wow moment feeling the red metal – very nice – especially if you have been used to the usual normal all plastic vacuums. I think the Shark designers have done an excellent job on the aesthetics but a bit more on that later.
I’ve included a number of photos and a video of the basic operations which I hope you find helpful.
This vacuum is a very nice piece of equipment. You get 3 wand accessories including a Hard Floor brush, a long nozzle and a smaller brush head and the main unit has a two stage switch for Hard Floors or Carpets.
It is very manoeuvrable, being lightweight and with a good range of motion, but the party piece is being able to detach the wand and bin section from the main floor section so that you can roam free. This is as simple as pushing on a pedal with your foot and lifting up. This is great if you have stairs to do or tricky sections of a room.
The bin container unit is also a simple thing to remove and there is a button on the bottom to open the door so that dust can be deposited in your bin. As with most of these bins though you sometimes have to dig out the stubborn dirt with your hand.
The floor section has six super bright LED headlights to help you see what you are doing and the cable length is approximately 8 metres long.
Suction is immense! Honestly I thought it was going to lift my carpet and there is a high pitched “Darth Vader-esque” suction sound as you push it around which I liked! Coupled with the black and red design detailing and the red wand, I started to see some serious Star Wars parallels… It certainly has the force!
Criticisms… well the bin is a bit small for a large family house so needs to be emptied quite regularly and also the fact you sometimes need to hand scrape it to get all the stubborn bits of dust out is a pain, but other major brands also have this annoyance. The other small thing is I found it quite hit and miss when re-docking the bin and wand to the floor section. Sometimes it clicked in first time, other times I thought it had only for it to pull up again.
To conclude quite simply this is an excellent vacuum cleaner. Suction, manoeuvrability, versatility, looks and the SciFi sounds! Awesome.
I absolutely love this hoover – well worth the money. I actually hoovered the stairs today for the first time in years (husband usually does it) the bottom bit comes off, you can rest it on each step and the lead is really long! I don’t normally write reviews but this is bloody brilliant! Can’t fault it.
