Best cleaner I’ve had, easy and very efficient to use. Only negative aspect is it’s quite heavy.
Definitely recommend it.

 

For the most part, this vacuum is great. I really didn’t fancy a cordless and so I was after the next best thing. After a few uses, you become adept at whipping the various components in and out to get the coverage that you need. It did take a few times before I got the hang of it however and it didn’t feel like too much hassle anymore.
As the rotating heads are suction driven and not motor driven, you do lose a little power if suction is impeded. But there is a lot of suction power to it! I rarely find this an issue. Also, I believe the motor driven rotating brushes are slightly more prone to damage.
The volume is surprisingly quiet for the strength of the vaccum which is a great bonus.
The upholstery tool is great at getting out pet hair, even before using the special pet hair adapter. Not sure that this really does a much better job so I wouldn’t bother with it if you’re considering it.
It’s very useful being able to detach the body to reach under the furniture with the head and that really is just a click of a button.
My floors are mostly hard with rugs of varying pile which I can only blame myself for… This is one issue I have with this vacuum. My lighter pile rugs mostly get eaten by the head, even when I reduce the suction to minimum. It takes some jiggling to only go in on direction to ensure I have enough traction to stop the whole thing scrunching up. But you’re not going to find me complaining about too much suction.
The amount of dust that came out of the rug was ridiculous, even after having only just gone over it with my old vacuum. Huge difference in power.
The weight is surprisingly heavy considering how small it is. If you’re doing up high, it’s pretty tiring and I’m not sure it would suit someone older or without good upper body strength.
It’s easy to use on stairs but again, the weight might be a bit much to some.
Very easy to empty and clean. The headlight is not just a flashy feature but actually does make a great difference, especially for doing dark corners and under furniture.
All in all, I’m very happy with it and love using it. Highly recommended.

 

I used to have a Vax 32V and that was probably the worst hoover I have ever had to endure.

I was toying around with the idea of getting a Sebo Felix or Miele C3 but given the urgency of not having to deal with this useless piece of shite any longer than I had to, as well as the money I had available at the time, I caved in and bought the Shark NZ850UKT for 199.99 on Amazon a few days ago.

Besides the middle eastern hairy genes I’ve been ever so lucky to inherit *insert sarcastic laugh here*, I also have a 1 year old shorthair cat who’s shedding like crazy right now too and since my place is mostly hardwood flooring with a thick rug in living room and tiling in the bathroom, you can only begin to imagine the tumbleweed looking dust bunnies that roam so freely around my home… yuck!

Overall it did a decent job and removed the pet hair a lot easier than the Vax 32V, although I’d definitely have to say that the hype around the suction on Shark vaccums are definitely, definitely exaggerated at least from the heaps and heaps of reviews that I’ve come across.
It actually leads me to think “how terrible were some peoples vaccums before they caved in and bought one? Haha!”

I bought the NZ850UKT and after a few goes around my studio I think I can feel confident in making the comparison that it’s about as powerful as the old school Dyson ball hoovers when they first came out.

In other words, it makes a mockery out of cordless vaccums [but then again what corded vaccum doesn’t?] but they still are no match to the larger Numatic industrial and Henry office hoovers I’ve been lucky enough to make use of in the past.

If you’re looking for a hoover that doesn’t trail behind you like a horsefly on dog shit and is easy to pull apart so you can reach those harder to reach areas then I would be rightly so inclined to suggest getting a Shark.

It is a decent vaccum for a decent price point when its on sale. Note: I would never buy it at full price that’s for sure.

Be sure to register your vaccums warranty once you get it too, althought it might not make much of a difference from a lot of users exeeriences with warranty claims from what I’ve read.
Let’s hope I don’t have to deal with them in the near future but if and when I do, I’m sure I won’t have any qualms about trying out the reddit cult faves from Sebo and/or Miele.

 

I bought the shark because of my new dogs hairs. Shark was recommended by friends and family.
