So happy I chose this hoover, it’s great suction and lightweight just what I wanted
Lightweight, easy to move around, it does pick up dog hair and doesn’t get clogged. However, make sure the roller brush is in securely as it can pop out. Suction not as strong as I would have liked.
Would have been a great Hoover if it lasted, unfortunately brush bar stopped working and had to return, could not supply a replacement so getting refund. Doubt I will get another, good Hoover if you have clean floors, seems unable to cope with living in the countryside
I would really recommend this hoover , slightly heavy when you use it as a hand held . But overall with all its features it is great , and would recommend this shark hoover !
Love this Shark, great suction, light and manoeuvrable.
Only one thing I don’t like is the cord – a bit stiff and falls out of its clip easily, quite annoying really as rest of vacuum great.
Said it was used but it was brand new. Easy to put together and use
Overall I am pleased with my Shark.
Doesn’t go to the edges as well as my last upright cleaner. I am sometimes struggling to release pod and empty due to arthritic fingers but it is manageable.
Good to be able to use pod for edges & ceiling cobwebs.
The light is helpful. It is nice and quiet. Amazing how much cat fluff it picks up.
Only dislike is that it is rather top heavy for me. All other features are great. i.e suction, ease of emptying,attaching tools and long lead. A cleaner with a lead will never be as light as a cordless but cleaning is much better in my opinion.
Absolutely amazing. The best vacuum cleaner I have ever used. Deserves ten stars
Anti-hair wrap technology works well
Powerful suction
Robust
Easily emptied
If you maintain this hoover well it is the best hoover on the market. Great suction and the anti-hair wrap technology really does work its not a gimmick. We have two long haired dogs and have to hoover at least daily and not a single hair on the rollers
I was really impressed with the Shark, the amount of dust it lifts is unbelievable. I wouldn’t describe it as light, but it is manageable. Compared to my other Hoover the Shark is much easier to get up and down the stairs.
BIT HEAVY for me, hubby has to hoover,, but great suctio
Love this, best suction ever, should have bought one years ago, great quality and amazing suction. Love it!!
Being corded so much more power than cordless!
Highly recommended.
Loved it, easy to manoeuvre, swivel action on the head especially.
After a failed delivery…Not sure how vaccum cleaner could get lost… The replacement order arrived and I have been a very happy customer since then! It is simply the best vaccum cleaner I have ever owned! I suffer from asthma and have a cat. The amount of dirty, this vaccum cleaner sucked out of my carpet the first 5/6 times was phenomenal! I had a Dyson and was happy (ish). BUT, this one is simply just wonderful. I love vaccuming my carpet now! The untangle system is nothing short of amazing! It is SO easy to manouver too. I was initially concerned about the large head but no, it just moves effortlessly! And the suction is so powerful, things get sucked in before the vaccum cleaner even reaches them (inch or 2 before, depending on size of crumbs, etc…). My skin used to feel very hitchy, even after vaccuming, when doing yoga stretches on the floor, with a mat, not anymore! I can comfortably sit on the carpet floor, knowing every piece of dirt, hairs has been sucked out! Just pure joy and piece of mind! Everything, n this piece of equipment has been thought through. And the price is OK too, particularly compared to other hyped up Hoover’s. My final reviewd:
Efficiency 5/5; manoeuvring 5/5; storage space 5/5; maintenance & cleaning 5/5; suction 5/5; accessories 5/5; design 5/5; weight 4.5/5.
Recommendation: 5/5
Fantastic,lightweight,brilliant on my new deep pile carpet,lovely long lead which is a bonus ,wouldn’t hesitate to buy again.
Impressed with my Shark. Very easy to manoeuvre and also empty. I thought the headlights were a gimmick, but actually they are useful when hoovering under furniture.
I’m very pleased with this product. It is a vast improvement on my dyson. Great suction and easy to use. Definitely recommend it.
I have been using this Shark for a few month now, and love love that my hair doesn’t get tangled in the brush. The stick design is great for cleaning under furniture and the suction is fab. The only reason for 4 stars is that the bin capacity is small and having it located on the front is a bit awkward. It’s still much better than my old Dyson so would def buy again.
This hoover is well worth the money. Yes it’s a little heavier than my last hoover but it makes up for it with the power. It has the detachment that is light for the jobs hard to reach. Quick and easy to empty and the carpet lines are just totally amazing. Probably the best hoover I have ever had
Does exactly as we were informed could not do with out it now
Best hoover I’ve had! The anti hair wrap really works too!
My Shark is very efficient and really cleans my carpets.
Easy to empty and moves well
It is heavier than I had hoped therefore difficult to do stairs.
I was like a kid at christmas when it came and it is great we have a dog and it gets the hair up and cleans wonderfully. Easy to take apart and clean the stairs and very lightweigh
I’m so glad I bought this vacuum cleaner. I’ve gone from hating spending an hour with my old, useless vacuum scrubbing the carpets to 20 easy minutes with this one. The amount of dust it pulled up on its first pass was amazing, and a little worrying due to how much was sitting in the carpets. I now feel as though the house is clean after using this, while it was merely cleaner with the old machine. It’s not especially light, so blinds, curtains, high corners and stairs can be a little tiring, but it’s not so bad. The 10m cord is excellent, no more unplugging and replugging when moving around the flat. It comes with 4 attachments, including the large main head and can be configured in 4 set ups.
If you’ve got a useless old vacuum cleaner that doesn’t do a good job like I did, this is a great upgrade purchase.
I like all aspects of this very powerful vacuum cleaner. It was a little heavier than I expected but it’s still good to use.
Vacuums very good, however found detachable unit a little difficult to use on the stairs
Although ordered from Amazon it somehow got lost so ordered it from Shark direct. Its great, even I was able to put it together without too much trouble. Its lightweight and easy to manoeuvre. I had vacuumed the previous day so when it arrived, couldnt wait to try it and the amount it picked up was amazing. One thing I will say, the anti hairwrap is not 100% more like 95% but much better than getting out the scissors and cutting it from the rollers. Easier to empty than my Dyson was. All in all its great. The original Amazon ordered turned up on my doorstep a week later, packaging looking pretty bruised and battered, no idea where it had been, so refused delivery.
I’ve literally had to stop hoovering and write a review because I’m so happy.
I’ve put up with a Vytronix cyclonic vacuum for the past year – I dont have pets but I do have long hair, and this vytronix hoover is absolutely rubbish. I end up dragging my feet along the carpet to pick up my hair, and I’m pretty sure the vytronix picks up nothing, it doesn’t pull across the floor nicely, saying it sucks would be a compliment.
SO, to do literally 20 backwards forwards motions with my shark has been a delight. For starters, I actually feel like I’m doing the hoovering. And I can see that I am! I took a picture of the bagless cylinder after 20 motions and you CAN SEE all the crap my vytronix basically blew kisses at whenever I “vacuumed”.
The headlights are a nice touch.
It doesn’t feel flimsy and I’m excited to get back to my hoovering- BRB 🙂
If you dont see an edit on my review, you can presume that my shark is still going strong.
Very good suction easy to push around and not too heavy
Brilliant piece of kit, amazing design and remove s unbelievable amouts of dirt from carpe
It’s a little heavier than expected but otherwise it is great! Would defintiely buy again.
Brilliant power and picks up so much more hair than any other vacuum I’ve used
Excellent hoover best I’ve ever had , couldn’t believe the power for such a small hoover . Would definitely buy another , highly recommended
Easy to use, powerful, changes automatically from hard floor to carpe
Very happy with the purchase. The smaller one in image shown for stair case didn’t work that great but just used the basic suction which did the job. Easily maneuvers, works great on hard floor as well as on carpets without having to change any setting
This is a brilliant product, even though it took forever to be delivered, we absolutely love it.
I have 2 cats and they shed a lot so this hoover is a life saver.
Is not light but it’s not extremely heavy, my mum, who’s 62 years old, can handle it without issues.
The suction is fantastic and animal hairs dont get trapped around the rollers. Brilliant piece of equipment.
Got ours yesterday and it’s a life changer. I’ve never spent a lot or really bothered with having a good Hoover but I knew shark hoovers were the best for pets and hair. We have 2 house rabbits that get fluff and hay everywhere and the Hoover sorts it out perfectly. I had to empty the dust compartment after every room my flat was that bad (!!??). The suction is brilliant the carpets feel so much cleaner. Its great for pets as well because it’s not too loud. The lights are great for seeing any spots you’ve missed on hard floors.
The only downside is that it’s not the lightest but that doesn’t bother me at all (my Fitbit says I burn loads of calories hoovering!).
Brilliant Hoover for a brilliant price. Highly recommend.
he way it steared even liked the light on front lays flat to get under low furniture.
This is my 2nd shark vacuum – used to have a Dyson, but won’t buy again after he promoted Brexit and then moved his company out of the country! And Mr Dyson did me a favour as I’m very pleased with my Sharks.
I bought a shark lift away vacuum first which I was very happy with but gave to my daughter when her dyson broke down.
I decided to replace it with this model and at first I was a bit disappointed but as I got used to it – having the dust container at the top instead of the bottom of the handle seemed very strange and wrong. But i very quickly got used to it and am very pleased with it.
The brush head ‘thingy’ is quite small but this means it can get into small spaces, and the handle goes completely flat and so it slides under things easily too. And I haven’t found the size to be a negative, I seem to cover the ground just as fast somehow.
Oh and the anti hair wrap is brilliant, works really well, it’s fantastic not having to get the scissors out and remove the brush to cut away the matt of hair wrapped tightly around it!
This Hoover arrived this morning and it’s amazing!! I only did half the lounge and it’s sucked up so much more dirt than our old Hoover. You could smell it come up! Our carpets feel much better after using it and our house is finally clean! I’m so happy with it. It’s heavier than I though it would be but the suction is brilliant. I’ve not used it on the stairs yet but I have tried the smaller suction bit and it seems to work well. I look forward to using it to clean our car too. It’s not a cordless Hoover but the lead is super long so it’s perfectly fine.
My initial order got lost some how, but Amazon sorted it and sent me a replacement.. can’t fault the customer service or the Hoover..
Picks up dog hairs brilliantly. Very pleased with my shark
Lift away to do stairs with pet tool. If a problem with hair go from carpet to hard floor which cuts hairs. Although anti hair technology.
Bit of a fiddle to empty as have to take off canister. Would of preferred push button over bin and job done.
Is a tad heavy for older folk on wrist with hand held top heavy.
Comes with crevice tool and pet tool and floor brush.
But great bit of kit and a bargain at 100 off on here.
Even the dog didn’t mind as quiet and followed it round.
Absolutely love my new hoover. I have long thick hair that molts all over my flat and drives my husband nuts. This hoover picks everything up with ease and makes our carpet look brand new again. Really powerful and shows just how much our old Dyson ball missed. Lightweight, easy to use and smooth running, also the headlights on the front are brilliant and now we can even hoover in the dark! We’re a pretty lazy pair but this actually makes us want to have a quick whizz round every few days! Love love love it!
Had tagged along behind my faithful (and powerful) cylinder vacuum cleaner for 5 years, thinking it was doing a good job. This Shark is bringing stuff out of my rugs and carpets that horrified me on first use. Amazing, love it, one of my best ever buys
I must be officially getting old, writing a review for a vacuum cleaner.
That said, after years of using a venerable Henry we got a dog. A short coated white dog. Who sheds hair like there’s no tomorrow, and they get *everywhere*. Henry, even with the pet hair head, just couldn’t keep up. When this Shark came down in price to 200 recently we looked at the reviews and thought – hell, why not?
And indeed, hell, why not! We’ve just done almost the entire house. The amount of hair it picked up was as expected from other reviews but the amount of other dust and detritus it collected was, well, frightening. Within 5 minutes of starting, the thing was full (mostly hair!) and by the time we finished the carpets looked like they’d been washed. We’d never really clocked just how much dirt they could hold, and they didn’t look too bad before but OH MY they looked clean afterwards.
We’ve used it upright, with the head attached without the tube, with the hose and pet attachment and the hose and nozzle. By the time I did the stairs it was getting a bit heavy but I expect that’s because I’ve never had a cleaner that sucks up so much dirt, and it’s a while since I’ve done the whole house in one go.
It’s a 10/10 from us. Yes, using it without the upright system can feel a bit heavy, but I can take that for how powerful it is. Would recommend!
I was going back and forth trying to decide whether to buy this or not, and I’m so glad I did! I had a heavy ball Dyson before this, and it was just too heavy and cumbersome so I wanted an easier, lighter vacuum that could get up pet hair. Not only does it get up pet hair amazingly, but the sheer amount of dust was fantastic! Obviously the Dyson had not been doing as well as I thought, and the fact you can take off the top to do stairs and furniture is amazing. The suction is great as well, actually the amount of my own hair that came up as well, surprised I have any left on my head…
No faults what so ever. It’s still got some weight to it, but it not 8kg like the Dyson was. Huge upgrade, definitely recommend
Absolutely love this Hoover i have had loads of other Hoover’s but this is superb a bit heavy on your arm but other than that love i
Recently bought this vacuum after reading mixed reviews about Shark products, and it is absolutely brilliant! Our carpets are a few years old and now look brand new, I couldn’t believe the amount of dust from the first use! I wasn’t sure if the lights would be useful but they are actually really good for showing up small bits around the edges of the kitchen floor etc. The different lift off parts are great for reaching the ceilling / getting up the stairs and I would highly recommend. The only downside to the 10m cable is having to wind it all back up again, but totally worth it!
Great machine, powerful suction. Easy to manoeuvre. Simple to empty. Cleans up dog and cat hair easily. Wish I had found this machine sooner.
finally vacuum cleaning is not annoying — powerful, easy to manipulate, works perfectly for carpet, which is super important for me as I have long hair. it does not take much space and I use it almost every day for a quick cleaning.
definitely worth the price.
Great Hoover but thought i was getting a different one but good other than that grea
Absolutely love it! Anti hair wrap defo works, used to wind me up with my old vacuum, but this is brillia
I used it on my dirty rug,this Hoover cleaned it up like new it also cleaned my stairs a lot better than my other hoover. This will clean my home in no time.
I have a dog and he is a long haired chi. I got this because we have bad back in our home and the other vac is large and attachments seem to fall off which was annoying and seemed to lose vac power and not exactly for pet hair. This one is for pet hair and the first time I used it was day I got it…I vac the downstairs carpets now important thing to note is these were already hoovered the previous day so when I did them with this Shark it really impressed us…the pet hair had gone and we could see it all collecting in the compartment with all the imbedded dirt it was like a full deep clean which is great. Then I did the stairs this was much much easier to do with the lift off vac which again is great. I used the pet hair attachment for this and wow. I have done my room today under the bed and still impressed with the deep clean power. I never really leave reviews after a day of owning the product as i’m worried that it may lose power I am confident with the 5 year warranty I applied on their website for that I will be covered. It is a great product highly awesome.
Bought this to replace our 10 yr old Dyson.
To be fair the Dyson has been brilliant but after 6 months of building work where it got hammered I decided to get a new hoover ( the Dyson is still going by the way)
This Shark however has the suction of a hurricane. Maybe it is that technology has moved on? But it is incrediby powerful. Having researched cordless alternatives they all suffer from short run times and poor suction with the exception of Dyson v11.
The only 2 areas I would point out would be-
Small collection capacity- this is effectively the same size as a cordless ( just much more power) and they all have small capacity.
For some people it may feel heavy…noticeably heavier than my old Dyson….does not bother me but if you were old/ infirm/ v small build it may annoy you.
Overall great purchase
I have just used this for the first time. I’m amazed! I felt in a position to splash out on a decent vacuum cleaner. It’s so impressive. I had only vacuumed my flat yesterday but what it picked up in a small one bedroom flat is a little shocking! It’s easy to manoeuvre and lightweight. I have yet to use the hand tools but I can’t wait to get into all the nooks and crannies. I’ve never splashed out on a vacuum cleaner before but it’s so worth it. My carpets look as new again .
Really powerful hoover, but it’s really heavy at the top of the handle so quite hard work to hoover the whole house at once
Absolutely the best vacuum cleaner I have ever used by a mile;better than my Hoover stick cleaner or my Dyson. I have lots of pets so lots of pet hair and this beauty sucks it all up. The amount of fur and dust it removes is both astonishing and horrifying as each time it looks like I haven’t vacuumed for a month! One bit of advice though….when you wash the filter don’t dry it on the radiator….I did and one of my dogs stole it and ripped it to shreds. As we are in national lockdown I wasn’t able to get a replacement delivered via Amazon until the end of April so I had to trawl the internet to find a supplier who could deliver speedily. All is well…it arrived…the shark is devouring detritus again!
Delighted with this cleaner – arrived quickly and was used immediately.
Had for a few months now. The whole family is very happy with it all round!
Easy to use and dismantle.easy to empty.catches hair separately from brush..powerful suctio
Best vacuum cleaner I’ve ever had and my husband loves it!
Really like this hoover. It works equally well on both carpet and wood floors. It glides easily on any surface and has good suction whether using as an upright or with attachments. The top part lifts off easily as a hand held and is light enough to carry around for stairs /car etc. The headlights are quite cool too! It is a little heavy overall but not uncomfortable to use and has plenty of height. It is very easy to empty and clean.
Would recommend makes hoovering a joy
Excellent for hairs ,doesn’t clog. Good for dust etc also. G
product great. delivery crap.. was on time but dpd driver told at reception where caravan was but refused to come down and I had to go to reception to collect it. thought it should be delivered to my door. or do dpd have ideas of their ow
Not as lightweight as I would have liked, but all the hype is true- the damn thing is amazing, resilient and so easy to use in each of it’s configurations/attachments etc
Having previously purchase a “so called” refurbished Shark vacuum cleaner from a regular Ebay seller which turned out to be far from refurbished and had several serious faults which rendered it completely useless, I was in two minds about purchasing a new model. However. I find this one to be absolutely first class and has brought my old living-room carpet back to almost brand new condition. A very good machine indeed.
It has amazing suction, better than any other hoover we have had, could be a little lighter. It does exactly as it says and is super with hair, there is no hair to be found at the bottom of the hoover. It does not get clogged up on the roller and doesn’t have to be unclogged once finished hoovering.
It’s a great vacuum it every way. No lost of suction,shocking the amount it picked up. Easy to maneuver. Light to see the dirty you can’t see. Easy to put together. Only down side it is a tad bit heavy for stairs.
The suction power is AMAZING, honestly it felt like it was trying to drag me across the floor it was so powerful, so I can’t fault that at all. Keep in mind I have a very short pile carpet. It’s VERY heavy, my arms are killing me after a half hour sweep of all the downstairs carpets, it’s going to give me a workout for sure, so if you have trouble with upper body strength, this may not be for you.
Also, the bottom is HUGE. Honestly doing the stairs was kind of a pain in the butt, and the tools that come as standard don’t really help with this part, so maybe look into getting the extra upholstery tool, or the pet multi-tool to go with it. As I said before, it’s heavy, and the dust cylinder is very big, so using it as a handheld is a bit of a pain too.
But back to the results, and the reason for my 4 star review. What came up from my carpets was both amazing and disgusting. I vacuum every day, and until now I had a 100 cordless vax…it had lost a lot of suction over time, and the dog hair was starting to weave into the carpet fibres with no hope of shifting it with my waining cordless…but I had no clue what was going on under the surface. It was like cleaning for the first time! So much hair and dust, I went over it again and again, emptying the cylinder each time before I was satisfied with how much (or little) was coming up. I’d gone so long becoming complacent with the results of my old vacuum, I was so unprepared for what the Shark sucked up. You just don’t know what’s lying beneath the surface, and in the underlay. I honestly don’t know how I survived without a machine this powerful. No long hair tangling in the rotating brush either, so that’s one less thing to maintain regularly.
One final word of advice, when you first do your house with a Shark, check the dust cap after every room (the little metal mesh cone inside the cylinder). I hadn’t realised it had filled up so fast, and ended up doing 2 more rooms before I noticed it was starting to overheat and lose suction. You’ll know there’s a blockage when it starts making a louder noise like it’s blowing air out of the bottom of the cylinder. Don’t forget to wash the sponge filter after your first go-over too.
Now I know all this, it’s an awesome machine, and I won’t be going back to battery powered cordless vacuums. Corded just adds that extra power, and you don’t need to worry about batteries failing over time. It also has a handy stand-up feature that stops it from getting knocked over, like our old one did so many times.
Thanks, Shark. Now I don’t have to fantasize about shaving the dog and my hubby!
My wife likes everything with the Shark, it’s an excellent piece of kit.
It is a very powerful cleaner and is great on wooden floors as well as rugs.
Well, the first thing I thought was “this is going to be complicated” when I opened the box and had to put some bits together, but no, I was very wrong HA!
It’s suuuper easy, just a simple click here and there you go, it’s done!
The suction of the hoover is amazing, our carpets haven’t looked cleaner, we’ve had these carpets before we moved in and they look brand new. The fur from our pets is sucked in so quickly, within seconds the thing was half full! 🙂 absolutely amazing!
The light on it really helps too as you can see bits you’ve missed.
The hoover is very light, when you click it apart to use the smaller bit for stairs etc it’s a bit heavier than when you push it, but not as heavy as I thought it would’ve been.
All the bits and bobs you use on the nozzle are really handy also.
I decided to go for this cord one as my friend has the cordless and says it’s very good but the battery on it isn’t very long. So with that, I decided to go with this, the cord itself is very long too. Only need to plug it into one socket and it’ll do downstairs and the stairs. Brill!
Can’t say enough about this hoover, it’s pricey, but it’s 100% worth it! Amazing! 🙂
We discovered that the suction on this vacuum was so much better than a battery one, also you can do the whole house without having to stop and wait for it to recharge. I found this hover every bit as versatile and easy to use as a cordless one.
Plus it is so easy to empty.
A great vacume lightweight easy to use even my 17 year old long haired granddaughter doesnt mind using it and she will only use Dyson at home. Really impressed with it and with the free extended 5 year guarantee you couldn’t ask for more.
Very pleased with versitility and cleaning power, does everything really well although hand held motor unit is quite noisy and a little heavy when doing stairs or furniture.
We were about to get rid of all our remaining carpets. This cleaner has bought them back to life, the suction is incredible on both carpet and laminate/tiles. Really pleased with it.
Great cleaner, chosen in pet for the anti-hair wrap. Maybe it meant aunty’s hair wrap because I’ve had to cut loads of it off the roller bar.
I absolutely love this. Worth the money. My Christmas gift to me
Really great hover. Easy to set up and use. Easy to empty and light weight and portable. Has a really good long cable. Handy from going from floor hover to handheld in seconds. The anti hair wrap is brilliant.
This vacuum cleaner is sensational. It does everything it says it will, and is an extremely welcome member to my household.
This is a very good hoover. It’s better than a dyson and I thought dyson was the best. I totally recommend this.
Only point is the cable could have been of a softer material but I guess there is a reason for this. The hoover is well built and pick up dirt with ease. Anti hair wrap works really good. I recommend this hoover over any other on the market.
I’ve wanted a Shark for ages. Like many others, my last couple of Dysons haven’t been great and with a double coated dog (Akita) constantly blocked. I bit the bullet with this one and WOW! Disgusted by how grubby my ‘clean’ floors actually were – I even vacuumed with my old vacuum prior to using the new Shark and could hardly believe the muck it collected! So impressed, highly recommend.
The reason why I am not giving it 5 stars because there is some space for improvement with the cord. It would be much better if the cord was retractable. I know that it would mean somewhat bigger size probably, but at times I wouldn’t mind that there is less cord on the floor.
