Easy to use.
The product was purchased to do general house cleaning. I did get a spare battery which did cost quite a lot. Still I have it now. I would say for general house cleaning it is ok and the steer ability is a nice feature. With what we have vacuumed up except for spilt washing up powder the pipework has stayed clear. The fine powder seemed to get stuck although some was deposited in the dust container. Bag less is good. I would only use it for smaller items to suck up. It did get stuck on half a twiglet but eventually managed to do so. It does suck up peanuts using the lead and pipe.. Any heavier job would need a different style of vacuum. Over all it does the job it was intended for but no more. Suction is ok. Watch out for a small piece of black plastic trim falling off the dust collector. It got stuck in the rotary section at the front of the vac. See pictures. Shark customer services were good and stated they would change the vacuum. I said it still appeared to work ok but had to dismantle the front of the vacuum to get it out. My reason for the contact was to highlight the issue. It was stuck on with not very sticky glue. It seemed to serve no useful purpose and I have not re applied it. This customer services agreed with.
Like I have said great for general cleaning. It looks good as well. Battery life is ok. Steer is ok. Extension is ok. The bag for the tools is a nice touch.
Top tip. Make sure to take the battery off before removing rollers at the front or your fingers will get cleaned.
Fabulous hoove
I’ve done nothing but praise this hoover to friends and family. Great for storage, slim lightweight and good suction. We don’t have pets, stairs or carpets so can’t comment on use for that. Excepting wooden floors. Carpet setting cleans our very thick hard wearing door mats brilliantly. Easy to dismantle and empty.
My new vacuum cleane
I took advantage of a black Friday reduction.
I had been meaning to replace my Dyson which is giving problems.
My daughter used this vacuum and was full of praise so I purchased one.
Very quiet and efficient I find with the arm allowing me to go under all the furniture I can do my vacuuming in a much reduced time.
It’s blooming heavy
Does what it says on the box, but blimey it’s heavy, if you have any shoulder problems you,ll feel it with this hoove

Excellent hoover. I use it so much.
This is a really good cordless hoover. I have been researching for a while and I am so pleased with my purchase. It’s easy to use, folds away nicely. It is a little heavy so if your after a lightweight hoover this probably isn’t for you. I love the carpet and wooden floors setting and there is a boost as well. Quick to empty and attachments are great too. Overall I would recommend.

Very easy to use
It’s an amazing hoover. The suction power is probably lesser than a regular hoover but the fact that I can carry it everywhere and the ease of use makes up for that. It’s slightly heavy but it can be downsized to be used on the stairs. Overall I’m hapoy with the purchase.

Good suction and accessories
I really like this vacuum as it has good suction and a good range of attachments. It is not lightweight but that is understandable as it has a large battery that keeps it going for a long time. Very easy to assemble, charge and empty. Fantastic value for money when compared to other well known vacuums. I would recommend this Shark 100%.
Excellent cordless vacuum
Replaced a cordless Dyson with this and although it is noticeably heavier than the Dyson and doesn’t come with a wall mount (which I didn’t use anyway!), it performs equally (if not better) than its rival brand. It does bend in half and fold away neatly which is nice – it has headlights which is an odd addition (for those stealth night-time vacuums? It is quiet so possibly!).

Great little buy
This vacuum definitely has more dirt lifting power and suction than my old Dyson. Lift off power section is great to use on stairs and higher objects with different attachments and its definitely lightweight and so mush easier to carry around, store and charge. Anti hair wrap seems to work too as my hair has always been a problem with vacuums. Fantastic little buy, well recommended

Great as a second vacuum
I keep this vacuum upstairs so I don’t have to carry up my heavy upright. It works very well on carpets including carpeted stairs. I don’t really use it on hard floors. A single full battery is fine for a thorough vacuum of 4 bedrooms and stairs on medium power but you need both batteries if you use the booster speed. The flexible wand is great being able to go under furniture without going down on your hands and knees.
The flexibility of the floor head on the wand – it wanders around a bit- takes a bit of getting used to after a traditional upright. It’s relatively easy to change the heads once you’ve worked out which buttons to press. You have to remember to switch it off if you’re moving furniture to preserve the battery.
At around 4 Kg it’s not particularly light.
Am Liking It!
Really like this Shark so far. It seems to work really well and the suction seems fine. Like how it goes from hard floor to carpet with a touch of a button! Love how small it folds making it easy to store. Really glad I bought it!
Excellent power, a real sucker with lots of bite!
Very pleased with the product and more powerful than the Dyson cordless which it replaces, although in fairness, we have had the Dyson for several years and the company’s most recent products maybe better. The Shark is not as light as the Dyson, but still manageable.

The Best Shark Vacume
Been wanting to replace my old other 3 vacuum cleaners for ages & not purchased a new one in over 14 years. Had seen this & liked the concept but it was way to expensive for my budget. Then a week before Black Friday I read a report from Martin Lewis recommending the best Shark deals & where to get them. Thanks to Martin I purchased the model I wanted for less than half price from Amazon. Thrilled to bits. It arrived the next day & couldn’t wait to get it out the box. So easy to put together & there was a little bit of charge on the battery so I was able to try it out straight away. Baring in mind I vacuumed the day before, I was astonished how much it picked up. My dog doesnt shread that much fur but suprising what it picks up & copes with long hair fine with the anti- hair wrap. Its light in weight & makes vacuuming the whole house less of a work out. Easy doing stairs as you only need the top section. It comes with a handy bag for the tools. I love the lights at the front as they show up any dust build up on my ceramic flooring & under settees/bed. Its easy to clean & wipe & wash out the dirt section, something I do at least once a month. Its a fantastic vacuum, really happy with purchase would highly recommend. As its Which recommended I knew it would be good, but its even better than expected & all for less than half the price. Resul
Good vacuum.
It does what it says, although I find it a bit heavy for me as I have arthritis in my hands. It is a bit fiddlely having to fold down the top when not in use. It does not stand on its own unless you fold it down. It comes with tools in a little bag and has 2 batteries that charge so does last a good while before they run out, easy to charge up also. Delivery was quick.

Good hoove
Ordered for my parents. I have an shark hoover which I absolutely love. My Mum and Dad had asked me to order them a cordless hoover on Amazon for them what that’s good ratings. I Said why don’t you order yourself a Shark cordless hoover. I love my Shark. And they absolutely luv it over the moon. Fast delivery too.
This thing is great!
Ahh! I believe I have fallen in love. This hoover really exceeded all my expectations. I have three cats and lots of carpet (you can imagine the hair!) but the suction on this hoover is amazing. Battery life is great, charges quickly and is extremely easy to empty out. Comes with lots of attachments so you can really get into every nook and cranny.
Honestly, could not say a bad thing about it. Great purchase! 10/10 would recommend 😀

Excellent build quality
Shark Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner [IZ201UK] Anti Hair Wrap, Single Battery, Orange and White. First impressions very good, the packaging was all paper and carboard, no plastic. Assembly was very easy, even some power in the battery to get started. The build quality is excellent. The run time is good, there is a boost trigger you can pull during operation, the single battery has not run out yet during cleaning. Overall very pleased with purchase. There is only one negative feature, no wall mount. Would definitely purchase again. Very pleased with purchase.
Best Cordless Vacuum and better than Dyso
I have had this cordless vacuum for years and are amazing. Light powerful and pickups up all the dirty however I don’t have kids or pets. I just bought my mum one of these for my mum as I have been so impressed. From the dyson reviews I can see these are more durable and will last you longer as long as you look after i
Works well not so light with battery
Works really well and once fathomed all ways to bend it, versatile and easy to use.
Does suck up dog hairs well and stays untangled.
The only minus is bought it for grandparent as other models getting too heavy. The battery makes thus one heavy on the wrist, so not a perfect fix for ageing grandparents xxx
Raving about her vacuum seems a little daft, but the reviews let me to believe this would be okay if a little heavy and yet, I think it is much more than that.
I only have a small amount of vision and although I love my cordless Dyson, I did struggle with its manoeuverability and it often got stuck on things.
I think the shark is brilliant to move around, it’s swivels easily and I know it has lots of suction because if it comes across a wire, it chomps it!
Yes, it is heavy if you’re carrying it around but there is an easy way to carry it and because it’s sturdy and well-made, I don’t find the weight a problem. I find it’s also easy to empty and pul lvarious bits apart — something I really struggled with when using my Dyson. I also like the fact that I can plug it in anywhere and again unlike the Dyson, it stands up on its own rather than falling over all the time.
If you are really not able to carry heavy things, this is not for you but otherwise, highly recommended.
Suction power is as well as expected
I was reluctant as I read most people who had dyson wrote it’s not comparable but tbh I’ve never had dyson and I wouldn’t want to as very content with my shark as it does exactly what I need it to as it’s lightweight, easy to manoeuvres, only downside is the you have to change to the crevice to fit into smaller areas eg underneath sofes etc but that’s not a bother very pleased

Cordless is good.
I like the freedom of this cordless vacuum cleaner. I was tired of having to keep plugging in my old cleaner in various sockets but unsure if a cordless had enough suction power. This Shark bites. Excellent suction power. Still getting used to the various attachments but I like what I see.

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.
Picks up dog hai
I’ve used a Dyson for years. Last one was a very and was very happy until I got a dog it clogged up with hair all the time. The shark does not clog up I’ve had it a few weeks now so on the plus side the anti hair tangle works,as you can see from my pic no hair on bottom. It picks up dog hair well and has settings for both hard floor and carpet. Very pleased with suction of machine it does what I need it to do. It is also lots easier to empty than the Dyson. On the negative side there’s no docking port the machine tips up if you don’t fold in half for storage and you have to remove battery to charge. However saying that its Easy to remove and you can plug in where you like. I keep forgetting to plug in and end up with a flat battery. I much preferred the docking station on the dyson as always ready to use. The shark is also alot heavier than the Dyson and the main head is alot bulkier. I would not recommend to an old person or if you have atheritis due to weight.
So my verdict is overall is its bulkier but does the actual job of vacuuming better than the Dyson. So I would recommend the shark if you have pets other wise go for the dyso
Amazing Vaccum! Glad I didn’t go for Dyso
It was an amazing experience using the shark vacuum, it firstly had more suction power, fantastic display and two rollers which helps to cover and suck all possible dirt. I’m stunned with the cleaning efficacy delivered by this product.
Only con is it’s heavy and might not be easy to clean the dirt very close to the skirting as the pad is big, but that’s fine for me, as I possible change the extension and use i
Very good lightweight vac.
Just what I need to supplement my very heavy vacuum cleaner. The only drawback is that it tends to fall over when parked, doesn’t stand upright very easily but it does when folded down to put away. I like that feature as it fits into the cupboard under the stairs easily.

Very good suctio
Only just received it but, although MUCH heavier than my GTech Airram, on first trial it has already proved its worth picking up my long hairs in the bedroom. Good looking product. Will be very useful. It came already charged a little, enough to give it a try.
I purchased this model of the shark when i injured my leg finding it hard to use my henry.
Very good hoover does everything well great suction realy strong good tools great mobility.
I have 2 dogs and it picks up hair brilliantly i have a injured leg and was finding it hard to use the xorded hoover i had so decided to buy a shark and its not dissapointed hope its reliability is matched by its design and suction power wow as good as any corded hoover.

Easy to use
My eldest daughter recommended this model to me as she has one, and I have to say it’s a lot easier for me to use than trundling a hose-type vacuum behind me with a cable.
I have only had a it a few days, but so far I am really pleased with it compared to my other battery-powered vacuum and my old cabled machine.
As it happens I don’t have any pets, but I am impressed with the suction and the cleaning properties of this machine so far.
A solid 4/5 vacuum - wouldn't pay full price for it, but not disappointed for £200
I had a Bosch Athlet Serie 6 that I got last Black Friday – it was a nightmare. Difficult to empty and clean, the roller clogged up with hair and the filter with dust so quickly I spent more time with it in pieces rather than actually vaccuming. Literally took less than a year before it broke in half at the joint between the handle and the main unit – first the latch securing the 2 parts cracked and required superglueing together, then the plastic guides inside went (probably from the extra lateral movement after parts started to fail). Eventually the entire mechanism between the 2 parts cracked and failed and it was dead.
The Shark feels much better made straight away, and the dual roller head and better motor definitely pick up more than the Bosch. It’s much easier to make portable and comes with a better range of tools/attachments. I’m not sold on the “Flexible” shaft – really can’t think of enough use cases to justify adding another potential point of failure…. unless you REALLY need to store it in a short cupboard??
Interestingly, after the initial charge and use the battery indicators starting flashing in a way that wasn’t listed in the manual – 1st and 3rd LED’s. Apparently this is because the battery cells need to cool down before charging starts again… Interesting that they don’t make this information available in the book because I was panicking that it was going to be a RMA job!
Fantastic
Am I premature in writing this review.. possibly, but I have say even just half an hour into using this slick, so easy to use, and dismantling cordless has been a joy, maybe it feels a little heavy but that’s ok with me cause that means it’s going to do the job and oh how it does, the handheld is much lighter, I’ve done a vast research because good vacuums are not cheap, it does fascinate me tho when I read negative reviews some people just cannot be pleased, I recommend this vacuum 100%

Fantastic power but very heavy.
Great suction, battery power and plenty of attachments included but I can’t get over the fact it is so heavy, only for the fact that I live in a property with no stairs I would have had to send it back, I suggest if your thinking of buying this try an electrical store with a demo on display or if you know someone who owns the hoover and get a feel for it yourself before buying.

Great vaccuum, does not disappoint!
From the moment I unboxed this vaccuum cleaner, I was impressed. Easy to assemble (no screwdrivers or hex keys needed!) and worked immediately after battery charge. Surprised and slightly horrified that it sucked up so much dust (It even sucked up one of my cats toy mice she was not as impressed as I was). There’s a light on the front which helps you see the hair and dust, somehow makes it easier to clean in the dark. It’s very manoeuvrable, too – click a button and it does a back bend under your coffee table! Great purchase of a quality item.
Exactly as advertised
Powerful suction, easily rid your carpet of all the hair you didn’t know was in there. Intuitive controls and add ons. It folds up small and pretty compact which is also super handy. Had it for a month or so and because there’s no faff to get it out and plug in, set up the hose etc, we’re quite happily whipping it out for little things we would normally have left for the weekend clean. Funny how it being so much easier to use and interact with makes me almost enjoy hoovering.

Awesome
Had this for around a month and so far it’s been brilliant. Far better made than I thought it would be too.
Excellent suction, good for dog hair. Can’t fault it really. Dust container is not huge but it’s sufficient for our house. Battery charge will also do the whole house provided it’s not on ‘mega suction’ mode.
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.
Efficient but heavy
Bought to replace our ageing Dyson which now won’t go for more than a couple of minutes without giving up. The Shark was chosen (a) because of its famed efficiency with pet hair, and (b) because the Amazon offer was over 100 off!
Certainly works well and is easy to use once you get the hang. The anti-hair-wrap feature is a godsend — no more endless unclogging of the head roller. The two-position switch works well — hard floors/carpets — plus the trigger for a boost when needed. Easy to empty the container. And the canvas bag for accessories is a nice touch. All well thought out, even if Mr Dyson had the basic idea first! But it’s very heavy — OK if you treat it like an old-fashioned upright, instead of a hand-held with a long neck like the Dyson.
Shame it doesn’t have a charging cradle like the Dyson. The trailing cable is awkward, especially when the unit is parked in folded position which means the plug into the battery is underneath.
(Registering for the guarantee on line was an unnecessarily fiddly process — scanning the QR code (once I had found it!) didn’t seem to work.)
If we can get the Dyson fixed we’ll keep that too. And we also have a Henry, which feels like a ‘real’ machine. But overall I would recommend the Shark, especially for houses with pets.
Love i
Hoover arrived promptly and was well packaged. It’s very easy to put together and lightweight especially if you have a bit of muscle on your arms. Not heavy enough to do damage to yourself though. Lift responsibly people. Suction is great. Our rug looks clean after a Hoover (not mentioning the brand);but after the shark there was soooo much more crap that it lifted.
Make sure you give it a.full charge before you use it. Storage is easy as it folds nicely in half.
So far so good.

We had never owned a cordless stick vacuum before and despite the good reviews I was a bit worried about some of the potential downsides e.g. uncomfortable to use, not enough suction power, short battery life. However after a week or so of using I’m delighted.
+ So easy to use and convenient compared to a corded hoover. Packs away nice and neatly in the cupboard and if I ever fancy doing a bit of hoovering or notice a small spill it takes moments to get this set up compared to wrestling a big hoover out the cupboard, unwinding the cord, finding a place to plug in etc. Ultimately it doesn’t matter how powerful a hoover if it never gets used because using it is boring.
+ Battery life is plenty for our relatively small 3 bedroom. A single charge easily covers the entire house if I’m doing a thorough clean, if I want to do a quick hoover I can do the entire house 2+ times on a single charge.
+ Suction seems good. Plenty of dust coming away from our carpets and I’ve not noticed anything that it has failed to pick up so far.
+ Not as heavy as I had feared by some of the reviews. It’s not exactly light but I think for the majority of people the weight won’t be a problem.
Love it!
Been using for a few months now and must say that it is the best hoover ever..! The anti-hair wrap tech is amazing (no more cleaning out brushes). Love the way it folds down as takes up little room when charging/stored. Was an investment buy and as something that has replaced our two hoovers (a powerful Miele plug in and a handy Bosch stick), I have to say that this has beaten them both hands down. Highly recommended 🙂
Knocks Spots Off the Dyso
OK Since Cordless Stick Vacuums hit the Market I’ve Always Had a Dyson, So After reading the Reviews on the Shark Range I Thought id Try it and if No Good Send It Back. Well after 3 Days of using this MACHINE I’m So Pleased i decided to purchase it. The Fact Its Slightly Heavier than the Dyson Model makes it take up more Dirt from the Carpet or Hard Flooring. Battery Life Far Far Out Does the Dyson. Dyson on Full Power gives you Around 6 Minutes Usage this Machine Does Not Really Need Full Power to be Fair and cleans the Whole House Carpets & Hard floor with plenty left on the Battery. Easy to Empty Easy to Charge , Easy to Use and Does a Great Job. I’m Now a Full Convert from a Dyson to this Cracking Machine. So Pleased i paid the little bit Extra and got a Product that Does what its meant to do. 5 Yr Warranty & 2 Years on the Battery once its been registered.
My First Cordless Hoove
So far this has been great. The battery takes about a hour to charge, and last long enough for me to clean the entire two bed flat two times. The battery detaches easily to charge as well.
Seems great on wood floors and also excellent on carpet. Also it’s bends and locks in different ways so you can easily hoover under tables.
After 2 months no issues so far. Sucks great 😉

A bit heavy.
Writing after 3 months of usage, it’s a decent, sturdy and strong device. Almost everything is very practical with it except its weight. It’s not a huge issue but can be a bit compelling in stairs. I would recommend definitely it if you’re switching from a traditional, corded hoover.
Love it!
My previous vacuum was also a Shark but wanted to try the anti hair version. So glad I did. Lightweight and really easy to use and recharges quicker than my old version. The anti hair is much better as the rollers don’t clog up. Really happy with it and have used all the tools that came with it. 🙂

Absolutely brilliant sucks everything up,
Not as as lightweight as you would think but a average person would have no trouble using it , a great piece of kit.
This vacuum is robust but easy to handle. Having 2 batteries is great as you don’t ever have to abandon a job part way through to wait for the battery to recharge – although I vacuumed 2 large rooms and my hall/landing/stairs before the battery ran out. I have 2 dogs so the cleaning is pretty heavy duty.
It also folds away neatly for storage.
does everything it says on the tin. One hilarious thing though (and don’t make same mistake!). I could get it to switch from carpet to floor on the read out – it’s taken me days to realise i have to take the sticker off!!!
Its a superb Vacuum, but when there's a problem, Shark don't want to know. Don't buy it.
The product is fantastic, but when I broke one of the front wheels trying to get the hair out of it, Shark refused to help and told me the only option was to buy a new floor nozzle at 69.99. I have had it less than one year, but because I was honest, I got nowhere. It must be a regular problem with these wheels as there are several sellers on Amazon selling ‘Pattern Parts’ that have been engineered without Sharks help, I have just ordered a pack of 4 for around 10. I won’t buy another, Sorry Mum you’ll have to have the Dyson!

Certainly does the job
Great for vacuuming, easy to move from hard surface to carpets/rugs, simple emptying and takes up little storage space. I don’t have stairs so can’t comment on that but it has become more pleasurable to clean the floors. First time of use I was amazed at the amount of dust etc collected. So far I cannot fault it. Highly recommended.

I took my time researching which cordless vacuum I was going to commit to. I looked at all the brands and asked friends and family for recommendations. In the end I arrived at the Shark brand and also noted the reviews and ratings. The price was comparable to other brands – not the cheapest and not the most expensive. I have not been disappointed with my choice and love the compact fold down feature for storage. It works extremely well and I can manage 3 uses on one charge (I opted for the 60 minute battery). It is beautifully quiet compared to my old vacuum and the cordless feature is a dream. Vacuuming has never been more enjoyable!
Stylish, tidy and powerful.
Heard so many good reviews of the Shark vacuums I bought one and wasn’t to be disappointed.
The vacuum is modern, stylish and manoeuvres perfectly not to mention breaks down easily for vacuuming stairs etc. I’m actually considering buying another to keep upstairs although the lightweight construction makes it easy to transit between floors.
The Shark folds down very nicely indeed and can be broken down further giving more storage options.
My house is quite big therefore I need to rotate my cleaning especially when operating on full power as the battery life can drain quicker, I may even consider a corded Shark for the downstairs areas. My mother bought one after seeing my Shark although corded as she had also heard nothing but good reviews, however I’ll no doubt stay with cordless.
In general, very impressed so far and love the modern look, handling and power.

Really good for under beds!
One of those vacuums you buy where you genuinely notice that things are extra clean, compared to what you used before.
It is light, and comes with useful accessories. The battery life is perfectly adequate for 3 or 4 large rooms. Only had it a few weeks but would happily buy a Shark again.

I am very pleased with this machine in general terms but disappointed that it was certainly not lightweight. Also you can’t buy an additional battery or car cleaner so the car cleaning becomes a mission with hand-held portion and no pipe. Very happy nevertheless.
So easy to use
What I like most about this vacuum cleaner is how easy it is to empty! My old one was a nightmare and I often anded up having to enlist the help of my neighbour to wrestle it back into one piece. Here, all the pieces slot in and out like a dream and the suction is very good.
It’s so versatile. The top part can become a dust buster with the addition of a small brush.
The top part (with the motor) is a bit heavy and it’s best carried round the house separately.
Ligh
I struggle with the Dyson I have its to heavy this hover is so light easy to use and 1000000% no hair catches on it that was also big problem had to clean other over every week or more not it falls out when u emptying it great sucking to get extra hard got stronger setting Highley recommend this hover charge very fast last long but its so good ur round the house in no time best thing I bought in long time thats not a choir to use
Glides effortlessly across wood carpet and wood
I’m really pleased with this vacuum it picks up everything you want it to it will even hover my Next long haired rug which my G-etc animal only ate up and stopped. It’s a bit heavier than a G-etc but I still think that’s something you can get used to very quickly like I did. I also like the way the head moves sideways so you can get round and through my dining chairs without moving them. The no hair wrap seems to work ok I’ve not found any hair round it yet. I also like the way you can park it while using it by folding it in half this allows you stop hovering to move your furniture which you cannot do with a lot of over stick hovers. I live in a 3 bedroom bungalow and I can hover the entire bungalow (7 rooms and 2 hallways) twice before it needs charging. It’s also very handy with its folding in half for hovering under low tables and any furniture that a normal hover won’t reach, it’s a lot better than I expected and far superior to my G-etc so I differently recommend it.
Sorely disappointed
Much heavier than anticipated. Purchased a GTech 3 weeks later which I far prefer. Use the Shark about customer services once a month for deep clean but already stopped picking up. Shark advised (after 3 phone calls and one hour of being consistently cut off) that I need new filters. They are sending these: I have little faith in that being the problem as the filters are clean and with no sign of wear. Wait and see, but I cannot recommend this product.
Nimble Vacuum cleane
After owning a few Dyson machines I was cautious about changing to Shark Handled cleaner, to my surprise it’s suction power is very impressive. The battery has a good life, I have quite large rooms than normal and one charge can clean the whole house. The anitwrap roller works really well (not 100% hair free but very good) and I don’t have to clean it as often as I used to. The bendable pipe is very handy, we get to easily clean under sofas regularly as it’s convenient than once in a while like we used to. Finally the price was reasonable compared to competitors. You need to get used to the brush head, it’s very agile and nimble, slightly on the heavier side than I was expecting. Overall a good buy and I am satisfied with the product.

Best Vacuum cleaner I've ever had.
Can’t think of anything bad to say about this cleaner. Dog hair has always been a problem for me as I have a border collie and she only sheds a lot of hair. Previous cleaners have struggled badly with the dog hair but the shark deals easily with it. On rare occasions, I have to clean the head removal of the roller brush is very simple and replacement just as easy. It handles all floor surfaces with ease and with the car brush set cleaning the car out is very easy. Battery life is good a full charge easily copes with the whole house.

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.
Great hoove
This hoover is great for us. We have a young child that is always getting glitter and the like over the floor. So easy to get this hoover out and clean up after some messy play.
Easy for the stairs, light enough for us to hold in one hand for all the high reach areas.
The anti tangle isnt perfect but its so much better than our old dyson.
Only thing i would of liked is a clip to keep the crevice nozel on. The amount of times been hoovering the floor, spotted a cob web or the like then realised the tools are downstairs in a seperate bag is annoying.
The suction power doesnt sound as powerful as our old dyson ball but i am always supprised at how much it does actually suck up, quickly filling the hoover bin.
Love it!
I really like this hoover, it is so convenient being a cordless vacuum but it still has a lot of power to it for a little thing especially on the boost setting. I find it a little heavy for the stairs but I don’t have the most upper body strength & with the smaller attachments it comes with it does make it a little easier!

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.
Not long had it but...
It’s new so no idea how long I’ll be as happy with it as I am now and I am. Never had a cordless before and that in itself is so great, didn’t realise how much better it would be. The suction power is really good, with 4 cats all with thick fur one longhair, all shedding in the summer heat I really notice the difference between this and other hoovers I’ve had and it’s all to the good for the Shark. Easy to do the stairs using the motorised pet hair tool. I bought that separately as was cheaper that way. The charge lasts well but I would advise getting the model that lasts longer. Most of the time it’s fine but sometimes when doing a more thorough clean of the whole house it needs to be recharged before I can finish. I may buy a second battery. The dust needs to be emptied each use but I’m happy with that as is easily done and I’ve been in the habit of doing that anyway. It’s lightweight easy to handle and for me a pleasure to use. I really like the lights on it, they make a difference. To conclude, let me say I’m 71, not as strong or as steady on my feet as I used to be and this small machine has made one at least daily job much easier and more pleasant. I’m sure my house is cleaner too.
A good buy
I’m very pleased with this vac. The suction is terrific and it does a lovely job of cleaning my elderly, dusty cottage. The anti-hair wrap feature works well and it is easy to take apart to give the machine a good clean out.
If I have a criticism at all, it’s that it is very heavy, but that’s something I can put up with in view of the overall function of the machine. Expensive but worth every penny.
Brill
Well I got the shark anti hair wrap big version which is really good and works well everywhere else just bought this one if waiting 4 the other 1 2 dry really light weight is really good that it bends 2 get in 2 harder reach places power really good would now only buy sharks used 2 by Dyson but they are a load of rubbish compared 2 shark so u want a good hover by shark

Great for hard flooring
The cordless Shark vacuum is brilliant for just picking up and whizzing round to clear up dirt or dust quickly. The detachable hand piece is extremely useful, and the light that shines on the front of the floor attachment is a revelation for highlighting dirt you can’t immediately see. Very happy with it and has made vacuuming much easier.
Only negatives to it that I can see are:
1) not great on carpet: the full attachment doesn’t work great on carpet, so if you’ve got carpet floors this might not be great. We have carpet on our stairs and we have to switch out for the hand attachments – this is fine but we only have a relatively small amount of carpet to work with. Anyone else may struggle
2) only works going forward: as far as I can tell this only works in sucking up dirt if you go over it forwards, not backwards. So on the drag back as you’re pulling it towards you no dirt is seems to be getting sucked up. This is manageable providing you can just manoeuvre in one direction the whole way round
Brilliant produc
Love this vac.
Long lasting battery and picks up very well. Love the headlights too, they help you see under furniture. I especially like being able to stand it anywhere because it folds down on its self, other stick cordless vacs have to be leant against something if you need to stop vacuuming while you move furniture etc.
We used to have a Dyson which would have cost nearly 600 to get today’s equivalent. Bought snd returned two different brands before buying and keeping the Shark.
Would highly recommend..
Shark perfect for house and ca
The Shark is the first cordless hoover we bought. Its powerful and works well sucking up with ease our cat’s hair from both carpet and wooden floors. The boost button is really handy when you need that extra oomph. It’s easy to maneuver however it gets a bit heavy after a while as you carry 4.5kg around (the motor is at the top of the handle). The sound it make its different from our old Henry so can’t quite say if its louder just different. The battery last 40 minutes however I can’t say I have hoovered 40 min straight so that has never been a problem especiallysince its put on charge at the end of the day. The multiple attachments are really easy to connect. The only problem we found is the distance between the attachments and the body of the Shark (without using the long pole) is a tad short so you have to angle it different when hoovering the stairs or the car. Overall I would definitely recommend it especially when bought in sale.
