Great for all floors
Well what can I say I was super excited to get a hoover that worked but it is not as lightweight as mentioned, certainly not for someone who is 7stone in weight and 4’11” with emphysema and other health issues. So if you are healthy it’s great and if not you will just have to let your husband do the hoovering to get him excercised.

Love this cleane
Had a Dyson and it was always running out of battery and annoying to have to hold the trigger down all the time while you use it so I decided to try a Shark as the reviews were so good. It’s amazing, the battery lasts a good 40 mins, you only hold the trigger down fore extra power and the anti hair wrap is great, no more cutting hair from the rollers. I absolutely love the lights on it as you can see every crumb on your hard floors and it picks up grit! which the Dyson didn’t do it continuously spat the grit out so I had to use a dustpan and brush to collect. Thoroughly recommend the Shark it’s great.

I'm in love
I didn’t realise how dirty my home was, despite hoovering daily with a decent-ish Hoover. I finally treated myself to a shark and I’m glad I did. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not the BEST on the market, however it is really good! First time using it I was shocked how much hadn’t been sucked up by my previous hoover. Its quiter too which is great as it doesn’t scare my baby so I can quickly wizz round the front room and play room with baby in tow without her crying in terror. For the price I think its fantastic, I’m really happy.

Not to sure. Just OK!!!!
Truly honestly I purchased this for my brother as a Christmas present. It does an ok job. Seems really heavy for such a small unit. Honestly I have the Dyson at home and wish I’d asked for the extra money. It really doesn’t compare to how the Dyson feels or sucks. It’s just OK. Sorry that’s how I feel. Save more money d get the better product.

Light it ain'
We decided to go for a cordless vacuum as our Dyson was feeling a bit heavy.
If I’m honest I’m not as impressed as I was expecting.
Maybe it’s just me but I was expecting it to be a lot lighter. The design is such that all the weight is toward the handle so after a few mins vacuuming you really are aware of the weight.
Things don’t get much better when you detach it to do stairs for example. It is still quite heavy and more unwieldy than the Dyson, although easier to move up/down the stairs.
Battery life is so-so and a spare battery costs a fair bit.
As you may gather I have mixed feelings about this purchase

Great replacement + enhancements!
We’ve had a corded Shark HV320UKT stick since 2018, and it was amazing at first (the power!), but it’s become less convenient over the years (not great for under sofas/tables, loses suction quickly) even though I’ve maintained it well. My BIGGEST pet hate about the old one was THE HAIR! And I was the only one who would get rid of it.

When I got the IZ201 and set it up, it looked too flimsy and small to be able to compete, so I was worried. Charged it overnight and turned it on the next day and just the lack of loud, powerful vacuuming noises made me even more worried. I thought that there’s no way this could compete! I also saw quite a few reviews about the Anti-hair wrap not working as it should. I was starting to get buyer’s remorse!

Well I gave it a go on the hard floor first as we always need to every day (kids – it’s a daily struggle) and to my surprise, it sucked up everything without so much as a sweat, or a do-over. It’s just so quiet in comparison! I did the sofa and it got rid of so much dust too! The flexology is a god-send in my house and it works very well. I like that I can attach the other bits to the long end of the pole for harder/further to reach places. It just sucks up everything, things were looking good, but then came the carpet job…

I’m not going to lie, my carpets are full of my missus’ and her family’s hair when they come to visit (so many girls! So much hair!) and it drives me insane. I literally have to cut the hair out of the old stick with a knife after every extended vacuum. With the new IZ, it was really powerful on the carpet mode, but still comparatively quiet. All the dust was being collected like normal. I was ecstatic to see there was no discernible difference in suction power. Again, flexology and the extended reach came in very handy for the kids’ room (beds, wardrobes in corners, etc!). And the fact that I’m not tethered to a cable is brilliant.

After doing all the rooms, I knew I was going to be disappointed to see all the hairs in the motor head, but lo and behold, there wasn’t a single one – Anti-hair wrap works! This alone is a godsend!

The emptying mechanism is so much easier and less messy than the old stick. The battery lasts longer than I thought it would (I actually got about 35 mins in varied modes) and it’s lightweight for me. I really like its foldable stowaway position (it doesn’t fall over and needs no hooks). Again, cordless is a massive plus! But Anti-hair wrap wins this all day, every day for me!

There’re only 2 things I can say negatively about the IZ. The first is the capacity. I did have to empty the dust bucket twice for the whole house clean – the old stick can comfortably do a whole house without needing emptying, but this is nothing that upsets me. The second is that you have to buy an Anti-hair wrap motorised-head pet tool (30.00) for the stairs to get them real clean. This one irks me a bit more, but the positives greatly outweigh this, so I’ll let it slide!

I know I’m an old man, because I’m so damn excited about this vacuum cleaner – it really is like a sad new gadget/toy for me, but it looks great and does the job fantastically well! Definitely no buyer’s remorse here!

Great cordless
So I read several reviews on several websites before I bought this. Its nowhere near as heavy as a standard corded vacuum, much more lighter. Easy to assemble and use, great manoeuvrability as the head swivels easily. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it doesn’t stand upright, it falls backwards! You have to fold it in half to stand it independently. I vacuumed 3 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, kitchen and hallway all hard floor on 1 charge and there was no loss of suction. The headlight really shows up dirt and dust. It wouldn’t vacuum my deep pile mat as it kept getting stuck and the roller heads stopped turning, but that was resolved by using one of the attachments. The charger is just a mains lead, no charging station or wall mount, but that isn’t an issue for me. Its a lot quieter than a corded vacuum so I thought the suction may not be good but it works just as well. You will need to empty the dust bin after each use as it’s capacity is quite small, again not an issue for me. I am really pleased with my purchase!

Works brilliantly on hard floors. Battery lasts for ages.
Works brilliantly on our hard floors, doesn’t spit things out the front of the brush like our Dyson handheld did. Picks up leaves really well. Also handles carpets very well indeed.
Bigger and heavier than a Dyson handheld but way better at doing the job.
Not so good on stairs unless you buy a different brush head, the supplied one is a bit too large for stairs.
Battery lasts for ages, longer that the Dyson did.
Only minor grumble is that it doesn’t have a charging dock. However it stands ok against a wall whilst charging via the cable.

Much better than I expected 👍
Firstly, it is top heavy, but actually once you get the hang of it, its managable. Its like a small excited dog that pulls away from you, so you don’t need any effort, it floats away.
Secondly, it folds down very small and takes up hardly any room.
Suction – I am used to my previous Meile raising up carpets and rugs it was so powerful. This is just as powerful but in a different way…somehow, and can go from carpet to rug easily, cleaning without moving them.

I was amazed by some reviews expecting way too much from a vacuum cleaner. I mean, you do have to pick up some things on your floor first – large items or things that would damage the inside! For dust, hair, paper, tissue etc it is excellent. I missed a small coin and it picked that up, but I doubt the vacuum would last if that was done often at high speed into a plastic collector.
It is relatively quiet and although doesn’t seem too powerful, there was a lot more in the see-thru collector than I expected after one go over my hallway! So its more powerful than it seems.
Takes about 45mins to charge.

Only downside so far is that the main brush is not great at going right to edges, but the accessory does. Stairs are fine with that accessory too.
Because of the weight perhaps not suitable for someone frail doing their stairs.
Overall, I am more than happy. Yay. Good not having leads lying around. Just use quickly and fold down. Sorted.

This hoover is the best!
I read some comments that say when you use this hoover for the first time in you house then it’s like your old one didn’t hoover at all. This is exactly how it’s look like. It genius. I’m extremely happy with this purchase. My two friends and sister bought already to. I got it for around four moths now.
Battery last for my two floor , thee bed house.
Suction it’s very good I had three different “good” hoovers before this and I thought they were good till I bought this one.
I use small, extra brush, for stairs as I have to admit it’s little heavy this one so that’s good solution.
I found this great for the floor and carpets- it got special buttons for it.
Compare to my old one I don’t have to take out hair from the brush.
It coming with little tapes with simple instruction that’s will show how to use this.
I can recommend this with my heart.

Impressive cleaning but quite heavy
My first ever shark. I do like it and as good as my old stick dyson if not better at cleaning. Came with lots of tools for the stairs as well and uphostry. I like that it bends in the middle to get under tables and furniture. It does weigh heavy though and some of the pine needles from the tree nearby which make its way into the house all the time got stuck in the rotary brush. Charge lasts about 15 mins (Not 40 as advertised) when using the max trigger. Works great on both carpet and hard floor. Build quality is good and I have registred for the 5 year free warranty which hopefully I won’t need but peace of mind if I do.

The best Vaccum you will ever use.
I’ve had 5 Dysons’ of various models.
Always thought they were good vacuums until I purchased the Shark.
The shark is a little heavier than the stick Dyson but so much better.
The anti hair wrap really does work, we are a large family with 2 long haired dogs and it just takes everything, no more cutting off the hair from the bottom!
I use it twice a day and it takes me around 25 minutes to vacuum a 4 bed house.
I have also not found it doesn’t do edges like some people have mentioned.
Nice little bag of accessories too.
The filters are much easier to clean, I just wash them out each week, then once dry put a few drops of Zoflora on them and it always leaves a lovely smell after.
Will never go back to Dyson now.

Great stick vacuum
Recently switched from dyson as the cost of replacing the filter every 3 months was ridiculous. I thought previous dyson was good at getting up the pet hair but the first time I used this shark stick vacuum I was really surprised at how much pet hair and dust it pulled out of the rug in my living room. This was just using the normal suction without pulling the trigger for extra suction. It’s alot quieter running motor than dyson and has 2 settings one for carpets and one for hard floors. It’s fairly lightweight and very easy to use. Definitely very pleasef and the fact that I won’t have the cost of filter replacement as often is a big bonus.

Good hoover, but top heavy
I have had this hoover for 3 weeks now and have very mixed feelings about it. I also have a corded Shark hoover which is brilliant, but wanted the cordless one for quickness and pet fir.
The positives are:
Fast charging time, good 40mins running time between charges, cordless, picks up pet hair.

The negatives are:
Very top heavy due to motor being at the top of the handle, the handle is quite large so for me with small hands the handle becomes uncomfortable while I’m using it.

On the whole a good hoover.

Good but battery 40mims? No.
This is extremely handy for hard floors. My wife is a childminder and likes to keep on top of the places and after eating some days it’s a good job. Was a bit fed up of the plug in Van ( good vacuum it’s just the wire plugging in ) so after many years decided a battery one might be useful. She is delighted with it and I must say I think it’s not bad either. Only thing 40 minute battery time? No. I’d give it no more than 25 and that’s mainly in the lowest setting. Thing is it’s a lithium ion battery so no memory for discharge so when it reaches bottom light of the 3 put it on charge again, which can be done on the vacuum no need to remove the battery pack. A 2nd battery is advice but my wife won’t go for it. As a mechanic I use a lot of lithium battery powered tools spare battery or batteries is my advice. Spare approx 79.99 but for some reason Amazon doesn’t ship this to Northern Ireland. Why Amazon? I can get it on eBay and I can get it off Shark UK site shipped to my home address. Frustrating Amazon frustrating

Not as good as I’d hoped
I had seen so many people I know give this a good review that when the time came to replace my powerful Kirby, I really wanted a cordless and this seems the best option.
I have to say, I’ve left it a while before writing a review. I really wanted to love it but alas! my expectations were too high. This does, however, explain my disappointment where others have loved it. All in all, it is probably a very good vacuum cleaner and it certainly does have a good roller on the head – which needs cleaning regularly ( although 6 ppl and two cats.. I may again, be a little too ambitious in my expectation) one thing I do know is that I’d still rather have my chunky Kirby with a clean house than one that feels like it needs bringing out twice a day.

Overall a good little vacuum & picks up well
Handy little vacuum, much lighter to push than my small Dyson.
The motor & battery are quite heavy & I think I would struggle with high level dusting for any period of time but not tried it yet.
The anti hair wrap roller work’s quite well but not 100% but I do have two long haired dogs & it picks up brilliantly & usually only need to remove a little hair which comes away with ease.
I have been able to vacuum the whole house in one go & still have juice left in it & that’s with using full power in a couple of rooms.
The only thing I’m not 100% with is vacuuming the stairs as I find the head too wide for them.

Great suction and the pet tool is great!
Brilliant Hoover, we had a vax one 32v before this. The suction of that was not good enough as we’ve got a dog that sheds lots of hair! We’ve had the shark for around a month now and it is amazing, the suction is amazing. Got this on prime day for 200 and it worth every penny. I would highly recommend. The anti hair wrap is really good as the vax would consistently get long hair stuck around it. It came with the pet tool and this was great for the sofa and stairs. No complaints plus 5 years warranty!

amazed
from advice from my sister who told me i needed a new vacuum cleaner and told me to get a shark, i did and was amazed on the suction , having hoovered up before with my old vacuum i hoovered up with the shark and was surprised on how much the old one had not picked up. top marks on this vacuum and so easy to assemble . highly recommend .

One of the best suction vaccum combine with a lighter weight other than conventional vacuums.
Fantastic item. Suction is is great. For such a good suction it has a fairly light motor. Normally you get good suction like this from a Henry but have to out up with lugging it behind you in the house. With this you get the best of both world. Light weight and great suction. I must say it isn’t as light weight as other cordless vacuum but then, other cordless vacuums aren’t as great with suction as this is. So great buy for great quality.
The light on the front works a treat too, for hard to see places.

Brilliant cordless vacuum
Needed a cordless vac that can deal with pet hair on our rugs and stairs which this Shark is brilliant at.
Now using it as our main vacuum and very happy.

brilliant cleaning and easy storage
I bought a really cheap vacuum cleaner when I moved and got exactly what I paid for. This Shark is vastly superior, not just to my old cheap one but also the Dyson I used to have. Suction is great and the anti hair wrap thingy actually works! It comes with all the usual attachments and the small brush head has been really good on stairs and the carpets in my car.

To store it, rather than having to put a bracket up like the Dyson, this one folds in half and stands up on its own. Battery life is good and it cleans my entire house on one charge.

Basically, this is a very good machine and I like it. If you want a cordless stick vacuum cleaner, I’d say get this one.

Look after it and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it!
I loved this at first, then hated it when it lost suction. I took everything apart and cleaned it, still no joy, I wanted to cry, I’ve wanted a shark for so long! Didn’t realise, but the long stick was completely blocked, unblocked it and it’s brilliant again. I think if you’re going to get the most out of this vacuum, then you need to check for blockages at the end of each big cleaning session, might seem a bit of a faff, but it’s worth it! We’re a family of six with a dog, it picks up hair really well, better than any other vacuum I’ve had, including dyson and Henry. It is a bit heavy, but only when used as a handheld, otherwise it pretty much glides and does the vacuuming for you.

Best cordless vac I have used.
Love this cordless vacuum, more powerful than my last one. Love the fact that, when using as a handheld, it’s just as powerful. Also like the boost trigger and the folding for easy storage. And yes, the hair wrap function really works brilliantly. As I live in an apartment, I cannot comment on its use on stairs, but as the handheld is so powerful, I think it would be great.

Perhaps not to everyone. I like it though
This is the first vacuum cleaner that I use of this kind. I have owned Dysons vacuum cleaners before but I decided to get this one for two reasons:

– Firstly and foremost because I was tired of the constant hair blockages in the head of the Dyson vacuums. In my house live two persons with long hair and this has been a constant issue with the Dyson vacuums. Whilst they have been on guarantee, I received replacements but I had enough.
– Secondly, I felt attracted about not needing to plug the vacuum in different sockets as I moved around the house.

I am very happy with this vacuum cleaner for various reasons which might be obvious for the regular users of these kind of vacuum but that, as I said before, I am finding beneficial being a first time user.
Its sucking power is quite good (and surprisingly good for a battery operated vacuum vs a corded one) and it is acceptable for my needs. When used on full power + boost on carpets you can see that it leaves the carpet really clean and this can also be seen on the waste deposit which fills in with dust. Likewise it cleans well non-carpeted floors.

In my experience and after having been using the vacuum for about 2 months, the Anti Hair Wrap system works really well and it serves for its purpose. It cleans hair and dust very well and its head has not blocked even once. Another function that has positively surprised me is the bending function of the long stick, which allows you to reach under the table, sofa and low furniture. I thought it was a nice to have but “pffff nothing special”. Actually it works really well and it really keeps these areas clean without the need to move them!

The vacuum charges in about 2 hours and it gives you enough vacuum time to do a medium size home (3 bedrooms, living room, hall and stairs) so long you don’t abuse of the boost power option. To charge it, I take it off all the accessories and leave it discreetly next to a plug socket after each use to make sure it is fully charged for the next use. Likewise the capacity of the waste container is good enough and there is no need to empty it half way through when vacuuming a full house.

I have to say that not everything is nice and hence why I gave 4 stars instead of 5 stars to this vacuum. I find the vacuum body (the top section which is the vacuum itself) very heavy. This is not incredibly noticeable whilst cleaning with the long stick and floor head on (although you can feel it after a while). But when you can really notice it is when you use any of the other two utensils that come with it (the piece to clean carpets, sofas, upholstery, etc. and the extended reach wand to reach the corners of the ceiling to remove spider webs, etc). I think that its manoeuvrability is difficult due to its weight; let’s put it this way: I don’t think my mother would be able to handle it.

Also, the instructions recommend that when it is stored you can fold it in two to make it less bulky. This is indeed a good idea and it works well, but the reality is that folding it is a nuisance when you could simply put it inside a cabinet extended. The problem with this is gravity! The head of the vacuum on top of it is heavy as I explained before and therefore makes it very unstable if it is not being held. If you opt for the practicability option of simply store it in a cabinet after use without folding it, chances are that the vacuum will fall.

In summary, this vacuum serves its purpose and seems good in what it does. However, it is heavier than what I expected and for its price, I would have expected a lighter device.

Great hoove
This really does do the job andf is far superior to my original hoover, of a similar type – a Vax, which just clogs up with hairs in the roller which cannot be removed without dismantling the whole of the hoover head. Anyway, the Shark is great – no hair collection on the roller, strong suction, fast recharging, and lightweight along with lights on the hoover head.

A pricey piece of equipment but would definitely recommend.

A versatile and effective vacuum cleane
Very happy with my Shark vacuum cleaner. Arrived early. It is very light and it’s lovely not having to think about the cord getting wrapped around furniture. It’s great not having to change the brush while vacuuming between the carpet and wooden flooring. It’s easy to use and the top part can be detached and used as a hand held vacuum which allows easy access to ledges, smaller spaces and stairs.

Does what it says on the box, excellent,.
Liked the two speeds of the roller brushes and the boost lever, quite powerful and really does the job,maybe a carrying handle would help when in the free standing mode other than that, excellent and well worth the price.

Necessary for household chores
This an excellent Hoover, as we’ve had our old one for a few years now, although it’s still working well, it gets frustrating having to switch between modes of cleaning, when you have a mix of wooden flooring and carpet throughout the house.

This does the job perfectly. It will easily clean the wooden and vinyl flooring that we have between two rooms and you don’t need to change any heads etc. It also glides easily across the floor and also the carpet. I would recommend that if you’ve got a particularly dirty carpet, to use the “power boost” mode, as the regular mode just doesn’t quite get the job done and left some crumbs on the carpet. This was a bit of a letdown until we discovered the power boost, and although more nosier, it’s cleaner.

It’s still quite a bulky hoover to use on stairs and to carry up and down also. I found that if you turn it to the side, you can get each stair done easily (there is an attachment for this, but for us, we found it easier to just turn it, and will try the kther attachment later.) There is a pet hair attachment (I have no pets, so I can’t comment on how easily that works) and also the nozzle attachment works well for cleaning those awkward hard to reach places.

I have quite long hair, and shed a lot all over the house. So the anti hair wrap is a bonus, but I wouldn’t say it quite works. Sure, it doesn’t wrap around one of the rollers underneath – but it does wrap around the other. This is ok, if you’re hoovering regularly, but when this was used the first time, it clearly showed how much hair the previous hoover wasn’t bothering to pick up.

This does fit under most furniture, although not under our couch, but glided under the bed before we realised what it was doing, to collect all the dust bunnies.

The battery lasts a good amount of time and charges in good time, allow you to take a break from the household chores. The instruction manual does say to let the battery fully run down, before charging, which we did on the second use, as it only lasted a little while, before conking out.

My only quibbles would be the hair wrap feature and the fact of how bulky and inconvenient it is to empty after a hard morning’s cleaning. When you see adverts for the Shark’s competitors “empties with a slide”, you do wish this was as simple. But at least it makes a change from the bags I remember of our hoovers when I was young.

Definitely worth getting, as it’s fairly self explanatory straight out of the box, and folds down nicely, to sit in a corner, until you’re next ready to use it. And it also comes with a handy bag, to store all the attachments/accessories.
