Love this hoover. Was so easy to assemble great suction. Highly recommended.
Our Latest vaccum
Our latest vaccum cleaner it must be approaching 25 in the 34 years we’ve been married. Not as lightweight as expected, Awkward for the stairs in fact maybe the worst of the 25 The nozzle is not broad enough to deal with stairs. On the plus side easy to empty and I appreciate the little light in the front which lights up dark corners. I suspect with this product you pay for the name and other vaccume that are as good are cheaper.
Very strong suctio
This vacuum was easy to put together and easy to use although the suction was a bit too strong on vinyl flooring and had to use the attachment which isn’t really a problem. Very pleased. It was recommended by a friend.
Excellent suctio
Really pleased with vacuum excellent suction couldn’t believe how much dust came out of carpet
Easy to use only down side kept falling over when using hose
And I don’t say that lightly. I’ve been a staunch lover of a cylinder style vacuum for years, but this one is lighter and easy to use for sure. The amount of S**** coming out of the carpets is a sign that it was time for a change. The thing I find a little frustrating is that because the machine is so light, it tends to be pulled over when you’re using the wand to do the stairs, upholstery etc and you’re in danger of dinging the paintwork on the stairwell etc because the machine base is pulled off it’s feet as is were. Also it tends to struggle with larger bits which it seems to push about before sucking them up, I’ve found you need to get the debris under the right part of the roller. (a little left or right of centre). As an upright though charging around the house it’s very good, the wiggly base thing is great once you’re used to it, it goes under furniture as it can lay completely flat and the muddiest rugs by our back door are considerably cleaner (but not for long!). Washing the filters is easy and it’s good to be able to see them and access them quickly so you know when it’s time. Emptying the canister is easy too and you do it after every use, partly out of shame, and partly so you know just how much you can get out of one teenager’s bedroom. Starting with an empty canister is an interesting test! So I like it, it doesn’t spend much time in the hall cupboard.
Great cleaning and versatile
Extracted more rubbish than my dyson ever did. Only downside is the rubbish box is small.

best vacuum cleaner i have ever owned and i have owned alo
suction great
easy to use
easy to empty
love i
Well engineered vacuum. Simple to use!
I can really recommend the Stark vacuum I bought a month ago. Great suction – sometimes too much, so I alter the suction slider on the handle, and on carpets occasionally use the hard floor setting! Works brilliantly. It is constructed very well, so everything gives a satisfying click when sections are put togethe
Bit too good t firs
So powerful when we first got it I could not use it. I am a 39 year old chap who is fairly strong but the power of the suction was so great I could just about drag it over the carpet and lino even with the little suction reducer cranked. Thankfully now its got a bit of dust in the filters its actually usable and does a great job. Prehaps shark need to address this bit if you do get it maybe use the hose for a bit clean out under the sofa to choke it up a bit bwfore having a go at any flooring with a bit of give. Other thwn tjat its reasonable light, nice and compact and easy to use. One thing I do miss from th old model is the shoulder stap. But I would recomend.

Super vacuum.
Super powerful vacuum, love the idea of lift off to reach high & low. Great suction & dust/debris capacity. Cable’s a decent length, so don’t worry about reaching all the room. Great for carpets & tiled/wood floors. Love the lights on the front to highlight the ” tumble weed” dust/animal hair.
Fantastic little vacuume
Love it. Easy to use. Super powerful. Beats our old Dyson hands dow
Great vacuum
I thought all the features would be gimmicks but they’re brilliant. The lights on the front are great for seeing stuff I would usually miss on hard floors. The pull away has made doing the stairs so much easier. Detaching the hose is quick and easy to get into the corners and edges. All the pull away parts and hoses can be done from the normal standing position within touching distance of the handle, no more crouching down or spinning the vacuum round to detach parts. Extremely powerful too, I can’t push the hoover in MAX mode on carpet it’s too powerful but turn it down and it’s great, glides across the carpet whilst still picking everything up.

A really brilliant vacuum cleane
Very light weight and manoeuvrable. Gets into all corners and the attachments allow access to those awkward areas.
Powerful suction in a lightweight vacuum cleaner.
Good price and suitable for use al around the house.
I'll never go back!
I had been waiting to get a shark for what seems like years and I am not disappointed!
I hoovered with my original VAX hoover and then went back over it with the Shark and was both amazed and slightly disgusted by the amount of addition detritus that the Shark pulled up! The lift away function also means that I no longer have to lug a heavy machine up and down the stairs
Shark all the way for me from now on!!!
Love this Shark
Well as a previous Shark owner I love the brand and this is my latest model, and yes I do purchase them myself.
Newer sleeker design and modern looks with all the usual suction power and ease of use you expect from a Shark.
The lift away feature is truly a game changer for stairs and removing cobwebs and such like.
5 stars and would give it more.
Excellent for hard floors
My second Shark and has proved every bit as good as the one it replaced. A little difficult on carpet but manageable (don’t ignore the instructions regarding suction power). We don’t have stairs so I can’t really comment but the hand tools are very good for cleaning the car so I would imagine they would be efficient on stairs.
Very easy to empty.
Great vacuum
Best ever for stairs. The suction is great and it’s quieter than my previous one .
All singing and dancing hoover. Fierce suction. Use for multiple tasks.
Can use in three modes. Normal cleaning for carpets and floors but watch setting or you wont be able to move it suction is that strong. Detach body from cleaner. Very lightweight to carry around. Use wand to reach under furniture, small spaces or high up like ceilings. Easy emptying and access to filters simple for recommended monthly clean. Super cleaner great value. I was going to get a replacement cleaner housing for my dyson but for 40 more I got a brand new superior cleaner. Also comes with free extensive guarantee.

most powerful vacuum I've owned, but wired is lame
This is a cracking vacuum, will suck up anything and leave your floor spotless! It’s great to know the missus hairs won’t make it go bust like they did my last 2 devices.
Only thing is, I think it can be battery-powered at this point in time. The cable is extra long which is good, but annoying to go back to after using wireless vacuums for a while.
Great for carpets
I was stunned by what this device removed from my carpets, I could have weaved a whole new cat from the hair collected. I’d vacuumed with my trusty old Henry 2 days previously and did not expect to get so much dust and cat hair out of apparently clean carpets. It does not have the manoeuvrability or robustness of a Henry and having to move from the upright to wand extension to get around furniture is not ideal, but then this is an upright so that’s to be expected. I’m rejoicing that I no longer have to carry the Henry up and down stairs, but not sure that this one would survive the many falls down those stairs that Henry has endured.

I’d forgotten what real suction meant!
I never thought I’d have a corded vacuum again, but after my cordless vacuum broke I decided to give Shark corded a go. What a difference! The suction power is amazing and I have to say put my old cordless to shame.
It took a while to get used to having a cord again and stairs were slightly difficult to begin with but now they are not a problem.
Now this is just my own personal opinion but I’ve sat and thought about the wisdom of battery vacuums and I realised for me it is not an environmentally sound prospect.
Your still using electricity to charge, but then you have the added expense of new batteries and their disposal. The power from the batteries is good but when you compare them to corded vacuums you realise they are quite poor. I think we’ve all bought into the whole ease of use angle and that’s a definite plus, but we are comprising on power and creating a battery waste mountain which the planet can longer sustain.
Absolutely Amazing!!!
This Vacuum Clean is 100% amazing!! There is nothing I can fault. Reading the reviews I don’t get why people are saying it can’t be pushed easily! I have mobility issues and don’t have any issue with it at all. Shark is amazing and trust me you’ll be shocked at the suction power and what comes out of your carpet. I’d never purchase a different model ever again im sticking with shark!

Totally amazed at this Vacuum cleaner!
I have always wanted a shark vacuum and when this came up at a price i couldn’t miss i simply had to buy it. wow wow and wow!!! i couldn’t believe the dirt this picked up after i had vacuumed my carpet the day before with my usual one. I was totally impressed but shocked at the same time to see how much dust it lifted. It cleaned my stairs and car with ease as the lift away is so easy and light to use. the suction control is great as i struggled to push it along the carpet because the suction is so powerful, now i can control how powerful i want it to be from carpet to hard flooring. I love all the attatchments that come with it too. That is me hooked on shark vacuum cleaners and will never look back!
Impressed, so fa
We have a large Bernese shedding dog and this vacuum is effective at getting the hair from new carpet and hard flooring. Still getting use to the various connections – the tube mini head attachment doesn’t have a bending joint so you need to position it perfectly flat for it to be effective.
We have had a dyson, dirt devil and cordless wand Hoover, and this is the best for dog hair. I prefer the cordless machines but this is great for the price and for doing the job it’s designed to do!
Fabulous
I’m so pleased with this product I can’t recommend enough, I thought I needed a new carpet (was using a dyson cordless) but thought I’d try a corded one before buying a new carpet.
Well the results are amazing!, my carpet looks like new ive only used the shark four or five times.
Thank you shark for this fabulous product.
Great uprigh
Very happy with this. Arrived very promptly and it’s a good vacuum for large areas (I wanted something that would reduce the time for the big areas- I’ve got cordless for corners and less accessible bits). Also seems to be resistant to hair trapping in rotor. Which is a definite plus as St. Bernard hair is a nightmare.
First impressions good
Finally purchased one of these vacuums after much umming and arrhing having been slightly put off by the review that suggested it was very heavy or hard to push around carpets . Well it’s no where near as bad as had been suggested, quite manoeuvrable with it’s twisting body motion. Yes the wheels are perhaps less effective than some vacs and might struggle a bit on deeper carpets? There are two settings to choose for carpets or hard flooring so that can affect how it easily operates as I discovered. So far then it’s great, very efficient in picking up stuff as going over our new carpet it filled the chamber up in no time with the excess fluff. Emptying it proves to be it’s main negative as it was difficult to clear out all the fluff, having to open both ends of the chamber which meant getting dust all over hands etc. Maybe it will take time to get used to that bit? The lights on the front are a novelty and will doubtless be useful in future in darker spots especially if theirs a power cut! (Joke 😀 ). So early days but I feel confident it’s a good investment.
Fantastic
So as like many I read your reviews some good , some not so (was concerned it was heavy to use)
Well I was impressed, the suction on it is something else, but wow I couldn’t believe how dirty my floors were when I hoover every day sometimes 2/3 times as we have children and a dog, but the power of this hoover is just amazing picking up every little thing and bringing my carpet pile back to life too. You can alter the suction so you don’t always have to have it on full, It took literally seconds to put together and doing the stairs has never been so easy , being able to detach the body and carry it , also the main lead is so long you will think its cordless . Definitely recommend 100%

Does the job well
Superb design. The lift off canister for stairs and upholstery cleaning is ace.
The narrow hose attachment is perfect for hoovering out cat hoodies and beds.
Easy to guide around furniture without leaving me with a sore back – definite plus (and why we bought it). Light and easy to use with great dirt/dust/fibre uplift.
Fab that the filters are washable.
Really pleased.
Tremendously powerful, incredibly light. Needs to be emptied very frequently.
Brilliant vacuum.
Its tremendously powerful doing a great job of cleaning both hard wood floor and carpets. It also separates the floor/head unit from the rest, making it really light to carry for cleaning the stairs with the attached wand.
There are however two downsides. It has quite a small dust compartment so it needs to be empties quite frequently, and it can be a little harder to move on carpets than our previous one – requires a bit more ‘push’.
Overall though incredibly happy with this little vacuum. Its better than our old 450 Dyson and about one third the price.
Almost to powerful difficult to use on some rugs
Very well made all clips together easily and the instructions received with it are clear and precise.This is the most powerful vacuum I have ever owned in fact it’s almost to powerful . Some rugs you need to be a extremely fit athlete to be able to cope with the suction. The main criticism though is the pipe between the vacuum and its handle should be longer imo . To sum up its very well made and we are very pleased .

Everything you could want in a vacuum cleane
It was easy to assemble, is straight forward to use and largely intuitive to use, has fantastic suction. Has good flexibility, canister comes off and makes cleaning the stairs simple, only issue is that it can be a bit tricky to reattach the canister to the base. It’s light and easy to manoeuvre. The lights on the base are helpful when cleaning.
Fantastic charge
I really like this product. I had a Dyson before this. The things i have found are great is the ability tocharge anywhere, the suction is great, love the ease of emptying. The things i’m not so keen on is that the accesories are in a seperate bag, it is a little cumbersome to carry and it doesn’t come with a station to put on the wall. The dyson did, but saying all that, it is still a good priduct.
Better than a Dyso
I already had a Dyson V11 Absolute which cost me an arm and a leg (an eye watering 599 to be precise). I wanted a cheap vac as a backup and when I’m waiting for my Dyson to charge up. This Shark model is a Which Best Buy for 2021 so I decided to go for it as it was a reasonable 138. And OhMiGod I’m glad I did!
My first impression was that this thing SUCKS! And not in a bad way. I had hoovered with my Dyson the day before but the amount of hair and dust the Shark pulled out of my carpets was shocking – and that was on minimum suction. It also raised the pile on my 14 year old carpets – so much so they looked like they’d been professionally cleaned.It left lines in the pile and did such a thorough job on carpets I mistakenly thought were already clean.
The ‘lift away’ feature is fantastic and it so easy to unclip the wand and add the various alternative nozzles. The motorised mini brush head made short work of my stairs and it was easy to detach the wand to use on the odd cobweb in the corners of my ceilings.
It is not a particularly lightweight model but its certainly not excessively heavy. I have short pile carpets and with the suction on minimum it is easy to push. It is not even that hard on maximum and I have tennis elbow in both arms.
It was a bit hard to get used to having a cord again after the Dyson but its nice and long (8m) so I didn’t have to keep changing power sockets. It was good on my hard floors but where it really excelled was at cleaning up the carpets – in fact outstripping my Dyson.
In conclusion if I had the opportunity to go back in time I would have left the Dyson V11 at John Lewis and plumped instead for this Shark. And saved 461. I feel mugged off by Dyson – it just isn’t necessary to spend that kind of money for an excellent result. You live and learn!
its a little heavier than expected
i am pleased with shark, but a bit heavier than expected.

great, but heavy piece of kit!
Bought Shark because of their reputation. This was Really good value for money and is great on suction and maneuverability. Would defiantly recommend as suction is good on hard and carpeted floors and its very easy to assemble and empty. HOWEVER, be warned, it is NOT lightweight! And although its very easy to remove the ‘lift away’ section to do stairs etc, its this bit that’s heavy. The only other snag I’ve found is that although the handle allows you to flatten it to the floor level when vacuuming, the actual size of the canister is too big to fit under my settee! On the whole, great price…great product (with a few snags) and very pleased so far.

The best!!
This by far is the best vacuum I have ever had!! The pictures are from my bedroom that had just been vacuumed with a Hoover Whirlwind, that is now getting binned as rubbish!! This Shark was easy to assemble, light weight and the best suction power I have ever known, I am so pleased I bought this and if anyone is in doubt don’t be as it’s a bargain!!.
I never leave review last but this
WORTH EVERY PENNY!
Gonna be honest I wasn’t keen on spending more than 100-120 in a Hoover – not exactly the excitement of my life, if so I thought. I live in a 2 bed townhouse with a dog and that photo is just from my bedroom, 2nd bedroom and one flight of stairs. I thought my house was super clean and now I’m disgusted at myself () but honestly guys, this Hoover if you have pets is incredible. I will say this though, the suction is so powerful that it’s a shoulder workout for sure (and I lift heavy weights!). So if you have injuries or are elderly I would handle with care or perfect choose a less powerful option. Other than that I’m so happy with this purchase and what do you know! Actually the excitement of my week (I’m officially middle aged now!) A+++
Will give you some biceps
Love this hoover so easy to work, however it does take alot of pushing on our carpet I will have some guns after hoovering our house after a few months, if you don’t have the upperstrengh it maybe to hard for you to maneuver on carpet, it’s great how it lifts off and easy to carry and hoover the stairs ect. Would recommend and would buy again. It’s amazing to see the amount of dust and stuff that comes off the carpet, it’s a powerful, neat, easy to use lift off hoover.

Got two hairy dogs absolutely brilliant for picking up their hai
Suction power brilliant, lightweight and so easy for stairs , and dog hai
Outstanding
This is a great hoover and I personally recommend it.
Brilliant hoove
This is a very powerful Hoover with lots of accessories, performance exceptional would recommend
value for such a quality produc
best item bought for a while i have mainly wooden floors plus vinyl and 2 rugs bought this as i have 2 cats that cast all the time i couldn’t believe how much hair it hovered up and the control switching between carpet and hard floor i even tried the different power modes normal and big sook m a strong lad but i struggled to separate it from the carpet.
read the reviews about shark products glad i bought it. recommend other try.
Supe
A really good cleaner I am absolutely delighted with i
powe
we have used a Dyson for about 12 years a good hoover worked well but a little awkward for stairs and getting it up stairs for the bedrooms, my son got a shark and told me that they was powerful so when a part broke on the Dyson witch was going to be expensive to replace we got the shark and we are very pleased with it, there seems to be a lot more power in it. my wife dose the bed mattresses with the Dyson every 2 weeks and she was very aghast at how much more the shark got out and she had only just done them 4 days before, we are very pleased with this machine.

Best Hoover Eve
Very easy to set up, very powerful.
Suction setting on max is very difficult to push on carpet so turn it to min, it still does a fantastic job, leaves carpets fluffy. The light on the front is great for seeing dirt on hard floors.
Wish I’d brought one of these ages ago. Easy to lift out wand for hard to reach areas.
This is not a model that has anti hair wrap, I tested both with and without the anti hair wrap feature in a retail store before buying on Amazon which was the cheapest price at 178.
The anti hair wrap models are very heavy to handle, very bulky so I opted for this one and I’m more than happy with it.
This is excellent but not for the elderly it is very strong and hard pull.
For cleaning my bungalow but hardly used it as it was far to strong and efficient for the elderly.
Brilliant hoover.would definitely recommend it.
I love this hover. I have a boxer dog 3 kids 2 grandkids myself and my partner in n out my home. It picks the hairs up easily. It’s a dream to push.. a bit hard to push on the long pile carpet ( bt I do have arthritis and fibro) I have because the suction is soo good. Best hoover I’ve had better than other big names.my son has a different model from myself he also loves his.Would definitely recommend.
powerful and easy to use
Excellent vacuum – I like doing the vacuuming now… we have a conversion people!
Worth 10 stars
Why on earth did I wait so long to buy one!! The hype is real about this hoover. My Henry died a sad death after about 8yrs of hard graft so decided to by the shark after everyone and their mum owning one and my god the fine dust it picks up! I was mortified at what it picked up that dear Henry had sadly missed. Let me tell you the day it arrived I hoovered the house top to bottom. The light on the front helps to show up dirt on wooden floor you’d not see otherwise, I love this hoover it’s the best thing I’ve bought for the house
Very powerful indeed!
I love a new vacuum I get really excited to have it enter my home – the first use is always amazing and this was no exception. It was like using a JCB compared to my old cordless dyson. I have kardean everywhere but small mats and two large rugs need hoovering most. The Shark tried to eat my mats, but was brilliant on the long pile rugs. I tried all the tools and lifting off the box section and it was really easy to use. Very happy with a ‘cheap’ useful tool that works very well. Thank you x

First time purchaser of a Shark. Really impressed. The headlights frighten the dog though
Very good cleaner.
Very pleased with this Shark cleaner had heard they were good and the reviews conformed that but you are still not sure until you try it yourself. It is a nice weight and so easy to pop the tools on and off, it is very powerful when on max and will suck up anything in way. It’s very comfortable to use where my previous cleaner was uncomfortable when using the tools. Very easy to take off base to use on stairs. Love it.
Super powerful!
Very VERY powerful suction so some people will struggle pushing it because it sticks to the carpet a little but it does a FANTASTIC job of cleaning and a big capacity that’s easy to empty. Not so good on hard floors as the suction creates a seal on the lino. It is lightweight to carry though and I like how easy it is to unclick the handle either with or without the pole section do do high up or corners. A very good grown up vacuum! Paid 150 on offer and worth it at this price. Dyson who?…
Edit: 10 months on still love it! Really good on wood floors only lino that lifts that caused the problem. Newer carpet in my new place and it glides nicely it is thin worn out carpet that lifts and seals that causes the sticking problem. Still the best hoover i ever owned.

Easy to use and very powerful
Amazing product. Didn’t know how bad our old hover was till this little beauti sucked everything up
Powerful suctio
Had the hoover 24hrs and so far so good, I though I had clean carpets until I got this and was shocked at how much it was sucking up.
The hoover is very powerful with great suction, I have to turn the suction settings down on certain carpets and rugs because it sticks to them like glue, i have 2 frenchies and this is perfect for pulling thier hairs up off the floor.
The quick release wand is hassle free and great for just releasing and getting in to those edges without faffing around.
Yet to use it in the lift away mode properly but it’s not as heavy as people moan about in other reviews.
All in all this is a great pet hoover, cheaper than other brands and has great sucking power, I’m impressed.

Good value
Really pleased with this purchase. It has good suction power and light enough to move from upstairs to downstairs.
Good suction with handy detachable stair cleaning.
Would have given 5 stars but for poor click on base attachment , it fell off while carrying upstairs and bounced all the way down to the bottom . Luckily it survived but from now on i take it up separately or while holding floor part underneath. The click in handle is not so strong either. Come on Shark surely you have some stronger springs you can use????.
JUST BUY IT
Needed a vacuum. Was going to go for Dyson but my mum suggested getting a Shark, and BOY WAS SHE RIGHT. THE SUCTION POWER. HOLY COW. I WAS BREATHING PURE OXYGEN AFTER MY CLEAN. the cleaning was actually fabulous. My carpet became a whole shade lighter after I used the vacuum. It’s one of the best buys I have ever made and the price was worth every penny. If I could give the suction power higher stars I would. The light weight and lift away is very useful for every manner of cleaning. From inside cars to stairs. Only issue is the hose. Which isn’t quite as long as I hoped it would be. Yes it can stretch, but the vacuum likes to fall over if you move more than 2/3 metres away from it. Minor issue because I have experienced this with every ‘telescopic’ hose on all the vacuums I have used previously. 5 year guarantee is the icing on my very clean cake. If you are after a vacuum, just get this and no worry anymore
5 Stars
Really happy with purchase, great quality & design. The Shark hoover is the best, It cleans floors effortlessly. 5 Stars for Shark.
Sturdy . Plastic free packaging
Firstly full marks to the manufacturer for the packaging.
All paper and card
This is the first appliance I’ve purchased that hasn’t had an obscene amount of plastic packaging so well done for that
The vacuum itself, looks to be pretty solid.
Does what you’d expect.
The truth will be in its longevity or otherwise…will update !
Not particularly lightweight but handy that the cylinder comes off to use for stairs and it has a mega cable.
So full marks for packaging
Loving the lights to show where I’ve missed haha
Let’s hope it lasts longer than the last few I’ve had

Light, easy to use, lots of suction. All features are better than my last vaccum cleaner. Lot less noisy than my Dyson.
Superb vacuum!
My five year old Dyson literally fell apart and I heard good reviews about Shark and although pricey decided to take the plunge. Wow I am so glad I purchased this it’s amazing almost have to hold the rugs down when vacuuming as the suction power is awesome, we have a white haired dog so a decent vacuum is a must and this doesn’t disappoint getting into places my previous Dyson couldn’t easily reach also I love that it has lights on the head so you easily see into darker places! You get what you pay for and this is well worth the money, my only slight gripe is that it’s a little heavier then my Dyson but I’ll soon get used to that!

OMG Game changer!
Didn’t realise how dusty my carpets really were! Not any more, though. I had a cordless Shark and it was brilliant, especially on hard floors, but the plug in is SO much stronger. Best vacuum I’ve owned. Small head gets in small spaces. The attachments fit to the unit so no stupid bag to carry around. The stairs are now a 5 minute job. Everything clicks in and out so comfortably. It’s not hard to push if you use it on the right settings. It does struggle in my vinyl floor which is not fully glued down, only the edges are and the suction is so strong it sucks right to it, but I use my cordless for that anyway.
Best vacuum I’ve had. I have fibromyalgia and my wrists are a big pain for me. I have not struggled with this at all and I’ve had it for about 6 months now. Everything about it is easy. The only annoying thing is that it does fall over when you’ve got the wand out but that’s because it’s light and I’d rather it be light than heavy. So just hold the handle or lay it down.
Love this product.

Excellent for the money!!! Totally recommend
Excellent product for the money! So much easier to use than my Vax cylinder and also my Vax cordless (which drops everything you have just hoovered up as soon as you switch it off!!) Last two vacuums have been Vax and until I bought this shark! I certainly won’t be buying another Vax. Only downside to the shark is that the body is a bit bulky so it is difficult to vacuum under tables etc with low ground clearance
Amazing hoover! Best I’ve used.
Best hoover I have ever used! So lightweight, convenient, easy to use and comfortable. Cannot recommend this enough! I’ve suggested this to everyone I know that are looking to upgrade their hoover. My sons bedroom carpet used to take a good 25 mins with the pipe of different hoovers because it’s a difficult carpet, this hoover did it in less than 5 Mins. Absolute Best Buy!
Brillia
What more could you want. Suction great you need to adjust depending on pile of carpet but everywhere is definitely clean.
great tool for hard floors especially for pet homes.
he code doesnt automatically retract and gets in the middle of hoovering. also the wand is not extendable. other than this …perfect!
So versatile
Just love my new cleaner and what a difference it has made to my life! No more unplugging and plugging in because of short leads – this one I can plug in in my hall and it goes everywhere in the bungalow. It is very lightweight and very easy, particularly for me as I am older, to use on the stairs. It easily moves from carpet to floor with excellent suction power. Don’t know why I waited so long to change from my old cleaner to this lovely Shark cleaner. Would strongly recommend you take the plunge too!!

Never buy a Dyson agai
Sooooo pleased with my Shark. I have used Dyson’s for years. However the motor on the cordless models burn out very quickly. The expense of a cordless Dyson to a mains electric Shark – there is no comparison. I live in a flat, I have marble tiles and carpet. The cable length enables me to move easily from room to room. It is also light but not the flimsy feel of a Dyson. Love it.
Amazing little machine
I love this lightweight vacuum it’s much better than my dysons. It is sturdy and the suction power is just what I need because of the fluff from my maine coon ca
Great produc
My parents have an older version of this and my partner bought one when she moved in to her new house and I was so impressed I just had to buy one for myself for my place, highly recommended.
Great at cleaning the carpets
This is a good looking machine & in carpets it is brilliant. But I have a terrible job using it on my cushion flooring & on my barrier mats. I have it on hard floor setting with minimum suction put I cannot get it to glide over either. It’s like a wrestling match with it. A friend suggested I don’t empty the dust box out so it limits the suction, which I’m still finding it very hard to push it on theses surfaces. But it really does do a great job on my carpets.
An investment you’ll not regret, best hoover I have ever owned!
By far the best hoover I’ve ever owned.. I’ve had cordless and corded Dysons, Hoover branded vacuums.. even made the foolish mistake of buying a 60 Asda one
Asda was the most recent, used it 2 or 3 times and struggled to pick up even visible dirt let alone whats hidden
Decided to invest in a shark hoover… decision I’ll
Never regret, and I’ll never buy another branded hoover!
Hoovered my lounge which is about 4m x 8M which I’ve hoovered 3-4 times a week since new, and I filled the entire transparent bag/case thing with dust! Hoover the whole house and emptied multiple times … carpets literally changed colour! (I’m not mess, I’m house proud and pride myself on a clean/tidy house)
It’s as close to a commercial hoover as you can get without spending silly money!
Only negatives I could say are that the stetchy detachable head doesn’t stretch quite as far as advertised without hoover falling over .. and to push it back and forth uses a little strength .. not for the old/weak or you’ll be tired after hoovering the house! But if a normal strengthens adult and are happy to put a small amount of elbow grease into hoovering you’ll not find a better product anywhere!
Happy with purchase
Love this vac no complaints only doesn’t seem to pick up as good in stairs as it does in flat surfaces
Fantastic vacuum
Best vacuum I’ve ever owned. Lightweight yet still super powerful. Much better/lighter than my previous dyson and less than half the price. Highly recommended
Great suctio
Love a Hoover that lifts your carpet just about when vacuuming! This is my second shark can highly recommend. We use our other for our two taxis .
Much quieter, lighter and more powerful than our previous vacuum!
I finally convinced my husband that it was time to change our vacuum cleaner .. . . . the previous one still worked, he liked it but I hated it! I wanted one that really didn’t give me a headache because of its noise levels – and I’ve got it now!
This is much lighter, easier for me to use, versatile and so powerful. The only drawback is that power – it makes it near impossible to use on things like bath mats but superb on fitted carpets, tiles and laminate flooring. The associated tools are easily changed and make it appropriate for most tasks, it lifts away from the base to make using it on the stairs simple. It is easy to empty the container, though we’re getting better at devising a way to ensure all debris is cleared as some initially tended to be left behind. The filters are easily accessible and simple to rinse out, dry and refit. Best of all is that I no longer feel the need to vacate our home when the hoover is in use! So far we’re very happy with it and I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone without lots of little rugs or mats in their home.
