Incredibly Versatile and Powerful
Very powerful and has been working as good as the first day that I brought it around 2 years later. The battery lasts a good time and it’s honestly one of the best house purchases I’ve made back then. Stood the test of time and continues to please!
Efficient and folds away neatly.
Good suction and with the second battery makes cleaning around the house easier by not having to stop to charge the battery.
Hands down best we’ve owned
We’ve had this vacuum since December 2020 so thought I’d leave a longer term review.
We have an arctic breed dog, bad backs and a four bedroom house with lots of different surfaces and stairs. I can do the whole house, the vacuum comes out every day (because of the hairy dog) and the battery lasts best part of the week. But when it’s time to change, I just swap it with the already charged one. The capacity of the bin is big enough for the whole house without losing suction power. The pet hair tool is very helpful indeed for particularly tricky places (dog’s matt by the door for example). And because it’s cordless I don’t need to keep running backwards and forwards bending over with a bad back.
We had a Dyson V6 before and we both hated it (battery and bin capacity was enough for one room and it made a racket). The dog’s not really fussed though so long as he can still ‘help’ with the cleaning.
Great Produc
She is my best friend ever since the first day! If you are someone who loves cleaning like I do than shark is going to be the one. Only con is the weight as it is a little heavy but when you see the result it is all satisfying.
Amazing hoover!
Best hoover ever met! Suction power is incredible, and with those 2 batteries, you can cover easy one flat with 3 bedrooms and one living room. Recommend 100%
Brilliant for hoovering under furniture.
Really like it. I only have hard floors so can’t comment on carpet. The two batteries give me confidence that there is enough power for the whole property, and there is plenty! There are one or two faults I can see – it is extremely awkward to open and close. It also does not come with a handle to move it when in the closed position; you have to lift it by the bent hose. I have no stairs but do have large heavy furniture so the USP (flexilogy) it great. All in all though, I think it is a brilliant bit of kit.

Fabulous little vacuum
Debated long and hard over which cordless vac to buy. Ended up buying this as it had two batteries and could be charged anywhere. I am certainly not disappointed it has revolutionised my vacuuming. A great buy

Good battery life
Excellent m/c .Re vacced a carpet vacced by another leading brand. Amazing what the Shark picked up!
Highly recommend this item.
Fantastic buy.
I have had some hoovers in the past. but must say my Shark Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner, is the best i ever bought, light weight to carry upstairs no wires, picks up great… even in my car….well pleased. a bit expensive but a great buy………. thank you.

Best machine we have had
Delivered promptly and works really well better than the Dyson we had before. Easy to assemble has good suction and the fact it comes with two batteries is a great help although the batteries do last a long time. Would certainly recommend this machine

Better than the hype
As others have said, it’s a great vacuum. I too find it a bit too heavy and until I figured out how to connect it without the stick, I struggled in the staid also. Now I’m happy as a clam, glad I bought it!

Great overall for a battery powered vacuum. Well rounded.
Great for stairs, very light. Is much quieter than a normal vacuum which makes it worth it, by itself. I liked that you can pull the trigger to increase the power for tough spots.
Only real downside is that you really need to stay on top of the batteries. They drain fast. Recommend getting one of the 2 battery pack models, or buying an extra on the side.
It so ligh
I had the Shark upright and it was so heavy this little beauty is so brilliant so powerful and so compac
Very Good but could be even bette
OK, point 1, this was replacing a Dyson V7 animal, and it’s quite a lot heavier to use, or so it feels in the hand. That being said, to me it feels like the plastics are better quality than the V7, and it generally feels like an all-round higher quality product.
Point 2 is that, in this package, it doesn’t come with a stair tool/compact powerhead. This has turned out to be a bit of a disadvantage. The standard powered head is quite big and bulky, and makes cleaning the stairs or a car interior a bit of a challenge.
On the plus side, the general functionality is great. The pickup is very good (on a par with the old Kirbys – I used to sell them) and the runtime is quite long. We have a large-ish 3 bedroomed bungalow and it will cover this 5 or 6 times, plus the stairs and the attic conversion beofre the battery needs changing. There are 2 batteries and a charger, which is not as good as the charge point docking system, to me.
The “under the table folding tube” function is quite useful, as is the fact that it will stand up on its own. It does have a bit of a tendency to get involved with extraneous stuff on the floor though, because of the design of the head slippers and shoes tend to go go under the head rather than be pushed around by it, so if you don’t clear the floor properly before cleaning you’ll end up having to pull the kid’s crocs and slippers out of the head.
It is very prone to sucking up large objects and then getting blocked up – I’ve had to dismantle the head sooooooo many times to remove anything from plastic spoons to playing cards and even just small bits of paper. Anything too heavy to go up the tube will rattle about in the head making a horrible din until you take it apart and fish it out. The anti hair trap is a bit of a nightmare too, it can get so clogged with lint fibres that the the roller won’t go round any more, and it’s not immediately obvious why the cleaner isn’t really working until you take it to bits.
In short, the Shark is excellent, but….. you have to look after it. Every few weeks I take it apart and clean all the components and it runs fine, and cleans wonderfully.
I’m very pleased with it, it’s definitely a step up from the V7.

Shark vacuum cleane
Very versatile – can reach most places – and easy to use. The optional extra kit of tools for car & home is very useful, with a flexible hose and small brushes etc that can reach into tiny crevices: also good for dusting intricate and/or delicate objects such as ornaments (I’ve used it on antique microscopes) & soft toys etc. Easy to empty the dust chamber without making a mess, and quite quiet in use despite its suction power.

Fantastic cleaning
Great vacuum. Battery life good. Easy to maintain. Easy to store nice and compac
Great produc
I’m really happy with this purchase. Good suction power, its not too light but I don’t mind as I have small house so it doesn’t take me long to hoover. It doesn’t need much storage space. I love the antihair function, finally my hair are not stuck on the brush.
Happy
Came put together OK work well enuf for me and iv 2 cats
Great!
It’s been a few weeks now and we have no regrets. Beats the Dyson by miles.
Better than a dyson!
Had a dyson, was playing up again…. So went for a shark!! 100% better, 2 batteries, charges quick, lasts longer than dyson and just so much better with dog hai
Hair begone!
My dear wife sheds cheesewire. Long lustrous red killers of rotary bearings in carpet cleaners. A 2×2 meter patch of carpet would harbour enough lengths to wrap and strangle another 40 quid replacent in seconds.
Th shark is the hair-y nemesis! No more prebrushing and checking, just run the machine and, yes, it gets wrapped around the roller but the rubber fins prevent it getting tight and then the teeth chew the hair into tiny digestible pieces! Hahhahhahha-ha!
Any way, [cough] battery life is amazing – run it on boost all the time for 20-30 minutes and then swap out for the spare. It’s light, very manoeuvrable and robust. Good value, dust collection is a bit small but hey, it’s ok! It ain’t a deal breaker.
Wow Facto
Light, fantastic, quiet easy to use what more could you want a the power for a lightweight vacuum a real mus

Well impressed!
I was recommended to buy a shark by many different sources and I do not regret it. Good value for money and highly efficient and well designed. Bye bye Dyson.
Powerful and versatile
We bought this to replace a Dyson and it’s brilliany! Loads of suction power with a convenient “boost” trigger. The flexibility is great for getting under cupboards and sofas. There’s a good range of additional tools and it folds up for convenient storage.

Thought long a hard about what new vacuum to purchase and settled on the Shark against various family members comments.
I love it. Much better than my old Dyson and better suction than my sisters G tech.
My only problem is my weak thumbs. I’ve broken and torn ligaments in both thumbs over the past few years (don’t ask) and find it rather Top Heavy as my father used to say to my mum. “It’s just the way your built love” lol
Or as my partner sez “your limp wristed”.
It really is a delight to use. Love the head that angles slightly and the bendy body to get down low without actually getting in your hands and knees.
Great set of attachments and I also purchased the pet hair head as I have a hairy dog. Makes short work of shifting his daily shedding.
As I said, the only down side is the weight of the actual top/motor. It’s heavy for a stick sadly and my pathetic wrists
A bit too heavy!!!

Amazing
What an amazing cleaner. Battery lasts a long time and most of all it is so so easy to empty the dust bin. For once, it is exactly the same as what you see in the TV adverts. Open the dust bin and it all falls out. No prodding or poking out clumps of dust and hair. Perfectly built and great accessories.
Certainly gets to places other models don't!
Under sofas and sideboard have never been so easily cleaned before. This is the 80min version because I knew how long it takes to clean the whole house. This version does it with second battery life to spare.

The best hoover I’ve ever tried though it’s heavy
I was skeptic about it because I already have a regular hoover but when I tried it on my carpet I was amazed by the amount of dirt it removed from the floor. In order to make sure it was the hidden dirt I hovered the entire bedroom with a regular Henry and once done I went all over again with the Shark and OMG the amount of dust and hair trapped the dust box. It was literately full as if I haven’t cleaned the carpet for ages. I couldn’t be happier knowing that my flat is really clean now. It comes with two batteries and a charger that holds both battery charging at the same time and it’s got a suction cup underneath to not let the charger loosen. The hoover itself is heavy and not that comfortable to use whilst handheld to remove furniture dust but does not the job so brilliantly that I don’t really mind about it , however some people might really find that uncomfortable. Mind that. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone.

Excellent vacuum cleane
Bought this to replace a dyson that kept breaking. Love the double battery pack so you are never without it when you need it. Really happy with it.
Shark has better performance than other hoovers
Very good suction got a cat and picked up her hair. Feels powerful for a small cleaner. Attachments good, comes apart for using on stairs. My cleaner filled the dust container in just the time she was here! I am pleased with it. Didn’t have the cheapest one got the purple one with longer battery power. My existing Dyson stick hoover is no were as good as the shark. The Shark performance is much better. Very pleased with my purchase.
