This is superb. I bought it to use in the motorhome, and it has been terrific. The suction is like on a proper full sized corded vacuum, not like a dust busting device. The motorised brush does a great job on carpet, and furry lining material and the regular brush is great on upholstery and curtains. The crevice tool is good, but if I have one complaint I’d love to be able to buy an even smaller one to get into the tiny little gaps around the edges of stuff.
The size is a little bigger than a classing dust cleaning handheld, but a lot smaller than most full fledged cordless vacuums. Ideal for in a motorhome or caravan where space is limited, but you still need to clean properly.
I was concerned about the quotes 10 minute usage time, but I have never yet had this run out of battery while in use.
Powerful for a very small hoover, charge doesn’t last long and it’s louder than I expected but not too bad. I found it extremely useful and great for stairs and skirtings and cleaning up after plants I have it in the living room all the time as you can put it in a drawer instead of lugging the the hoover. I just do small bits at a time and move on to other things while it’s charging. I don’t have pets or anyone with long hair so can’t comment on that.
The rotating brushes pick up cat hair brilliantly from carpets and sofas. The power is strong enough to vacuum cat blankets and beds without sucking the fabric into the vac.
I’ve used it to vacuum carpeted stairs inbetween proper vacuuming sessions and may not use the big vac again! It also works well for spot vacuuming carpeted floors, even working on our deep pile carpet.
Our old one used to suck up crumbs, small stones etc on hard floors and then drop bits out again. The Shark sucks everything up and keeps it in.
Best of all, emptying is easy and you don’t have to get your fingers in there. Just open the chamber over the bin, press the button to give a quick spin to get everything out.
When our cylinder vac gives up we’ll be getting a Shark upright cordless based on the performance of this one.
Battery only last about 10 mins but ive found thats more than enough for the jobs i purchased it for; stairs, cat fur from furniture and quick spruce of the cars. Sometimes awkward in the tighter parts of the cars but very impressive for its power!!
We bought this primarily for use on our stairs and for hoovering the car. We are really pleased with how simple it is to use.
I have a big full sized Shark mains powered vacuum which is brilliant but a faff to get out for little jobs. This is very useful for a quick clean up and a charge seems to last a long time. I rarely fit the powered brush attachment, but it does work well. To be honest it’s main job is hoovering up flies, spiders, cobwebs and other bugs around the house! You can then release them outside if you want. Much better than trying to swat them with a rolled up newspaper.
I am happy enough with it doesnt take to long to charge fairly noisy but i guess i am used to having a quiet vacuum for other areas.
– Good suction.
– Good reach.
– Easy to dismantle for a thorough clean-out, with washable filters.
– Rotating brush head works well and is nice and narrow to get where my main vacuum cleaner won’t go.
– Very conveniently placed on/off button.
– The whole device is very convenient to have sitting near at hand when I’m doing any woodwork. I can quickly clean up the sawdust as I go.
Not so good:
– Battery life isn’t very long, but is fine for frequent but brief uses, e.g. my woodwork comment above.
– Don’t drop it on its nose with the nozzle fitted. I did this and it took me an hour or so to get the nozzle out again because it had been driven in deeply. (Yes, it was my own fault.)
– Rotating brush head does not swivel. It would certainly be better if it did, except that this would seriously complicate the design. It’s not too hard to keep the head level, and that’s a small price to pay for the simplicity.
– I have found the dust compartment tricky to open, but I’d rather have that than a looser mechanism that might drop open while it’s in use. It doesn’t take long to get the knack.
Other reviews have said that the balance is bad, with the handle right at the end, but I disagree. My view is that this would reduce the reach with no great benefit. I’m far from being a massive body-builder, but I have no problem holding this device with the handle at the end.
I’m thankful for this. I have my grandchildren over and even though they are at the table or in their high chair or even snacking on the floor watching tv they can make a mess, but instead of getting the big hoover out this handheld is ideal for quickness.
Also for when my husband is drilling into a wall this is a great dust catcher. It’s a good all rounder. As long as you charge after each time you’ll never run out of charge. Happy days!
So far I love it. It was bought to pick up pet hair and seems to do that well. Finally I have found a handheld cleaner that has a fair bit of suction. Only draw back is that run time is a little short so you will be charging it often.
This is the handiest thing I have ever bought. It saves so much time hoovering little bits up. Worth every penny.
Fed up with cables, fed up with hassle of lugging a heavy object around the place-esp up and down the stairs. Completely fed up with emptying the good damn thing; so much dust not good when you’ve got allergies.
Decided on getting a handheld rechargeable vac but had to be powerful and quick to clean up the dust and hair. This is perfect; well almost- just wish it came with a storage bag that you could keep it in with the other few tools.; Least the battery is long lasting and its usb c. Also I wish the handle was slightly taller; or maybe there was an attachment that you could make it longer so when you’re doing the landing you don’t need to lean over as much.
Iv thrown the vac away so now apart using this I don’t have a vacuum cleaner and iv managed to clean all round the house from top to bottom on one charge without getting worn out in the process
Works really well. Great for removing pet hair from the sofa or wizzing out to vacuum up a few crumbs. Couldn’t be without it now
very nice little hoover, very light with good suction, would recommend.
Great little hand held. Love shark always delivers fantastic for edges of carpets and quick clean up not too heavy either good for stairs. Love it !
Don’t have to drag the big hoover around light and versatile. Didn’t know I needed one until my son said dad you need a hand held vacuum.
Got this for Grandad Pete and he was skeptical at first. He tried it and he is very happy with the purchase. This product has Grandad Pete Approval.
Does what it was bought for. Dog hair and car. Impressive piece of equipment. Absolutely no complaints.
Wow we love this hoover it’s amazing , I use it to hoover my stairs and all sorts best suction i e found on hand held hoovers
Bought this for my campervan and it works well. Three different heads to vacuum with too. Quite lightweight and powerful, runs a bit longer than the specs but does take a few hours to charge.
Makes an ideal addition to a larger domestic vacuum where space it tight.
Excellent for cleaning inside the car. More than enough suction and run time for general use.
Agreeing with another reviewer, I would like to see the on/off button re-positioned further away from the position where the unit it held. It is easy to accidentally turn off the unit whilst holding the handle.
With over three thousand reviews for the Shark CH950UKT I decided this was the one to buy. I’m pleased to say the suction is pretty good for the ten minutes or so battery time (it takes around four hours to recharge). The weight might be important to you, it’s 1.39kg (says the Shark website) and it comes with three attachments.
So far I’m pleased with the performance. Emptying the dust cup and washing the filter is easy. As with any plastic-made domestic electrical product, it needs to be handled carefully and it should last for some time.
The ‘easy empty’ isn’t quite so easy as it often gets stuck, requiring a bit of force to open, which is a concern as to how long before it might break. Otherwise a nice hand held vac. Need to get used to taking finger off the power button otherwise find you keep turning it off once you start it, not really an issue as will get used to it. Ten minutes run time is quite short (especially compared to the other leading make, but that is a lot more expensive). However, as generally only used for very short time, it should be OK – time will tell.
Runs out of charge fairly quickly. But good suction and a few attachments. Easy to empty too
Brilliant for my sofa and car not enough for stairs as got 2 pets very hairy and constantly cast but have a large shark
Just brought this item I’m pleased with it so far hoovered my car didn’t do a bad job at all did a bit on stairs so far so good had to rush as battery life only ten minutes only negative so far suction seems decent.
Having had a small Dyson before this is way better. It’s fantastic- lightweight, easy to clean, easy to use and has good suction. Even better still is the price.
This is a good machine , it works well with plenty of suck! charges quickly, good value for money.
It’s a bit noisy but as you only use it for a short time that’s OK.
Bought for my mother in law who is not very strong, she’s over the moon with the product and says it is perfect.
Not a bad handheld vacuum. Great for the car, sofa and curtains. Pleased to say it charges in about 2.5 hrs, not 4 hrs as stated.
This is a powerful and light cleaner so it is ideal for cleaning the front and back carpets of the car and sucking up the odd crumbs around your front room. I love this cleaner, it does just what I want it to do in my car and is easy to fit attachments or empty into the bin. Would give it 12/10. The charge lasts for 10 minutes which might be a drawback I suppose but , for my car, it is plenty of time.
My wife asked me to find a replacement for her ageing handheld vacuum. We have 2 cats and the previous one wasn’t great for pet fur but she’s praised this one since we got it – happy days!
Much better than I thought, for the price. Easy to empty, though not much capacity. Can walk room to room and up stairs for lots of small patches on one charge, or 1-2 normal rooms, with no swapping plugs or trailing wires.
A longer extension to save bending down and it would replace my main vacuum cleaner for everything but as is it’s just for stairs, car and little messes like baking, pets and children.
I was brute about buying this product as some reviews suggested it is not very good at picking up from carpet and that was hat I needed it for. Really glad I made the purchase – lightweight, easy to use and great suction. I’ve found that the battery lasts longer than 10 minutes too – I have been able to complete my task each time without running out of charge.
Delighted with my purchase.
I own a labrador.. they shed around twice a year. The first 6 months.. and the second 6 months!!
This is brilliant for stairs and sofas! Wouldn’t be without it.
I have had several hand-held vacuums and haven’t liked any – until now. People moan on reviews that it has a long (4 hour) charge-time and a short (10 minute) cleaning time. The reason that the clean time is short is that it has powerful suction and 10 minutes is plenty for what i want it for – it’s not supposed to be your main house vacuum cleaner. The power-brush carpet attachment works really well. Couldn’t be happier with a quality item for little money.
Does everything it is suppose to we had an older model before but this one is much superior in suctio
Loved this. I have a big shark but it’s not always practical to get it out for smaller messes so having this is fab for those moments. Also is great for the car and stairs.
I used it at car and with a generous usage of the battery finished the floor mats of the front seats (approx 30 mins) I guess I would have finished the whole job if my car was not this dirty and I was a bit more careful in using the machine. I am leaving some before after photos. All in all, I can recommend this product.
I bought this to use mainly for my car. I managed to do all four foot wells and the seats and car mats without losing power. I had been a bit worried it wouldn’t do it all based on another review, but I had no problems at all!
I’ve also ended up using it for the sofa and those hard to reach places like under furniture. It’s so light weight and handy. It is much easier than getting the whole normal vacuum out for little jobs.
Highly recommend.
Good hoover it is small but it gets the job done good at doing the stairs
Great handheld vacuum – ideal for camper vans, caravans & boats.
We have a shark for our main hoover so thought why not go for one as a handheld. Glad we did. Great suction. Easy to use. Good variety of attachments. Not sure of length of battery use but it was enough to do stairs, sills and a few cobwebs!! Very light. All in all very happy!!
It’s great for vacuuming small messes in the house, as well as stairs thanks to the additional tools included. It shows its mettle in the car. A narrow nozzle is fab for narrow spaces, the upholstery tool is outstanding on the carpets and seats. I’ve even used it at school when I’ve known that I’d make a mess crafting. Nothing is too much for it to handle!
It’s so easy to use, brilliant power, and light enough for stairs
This is a brilliant piece of kit….easy to hold…..Great suction….easy to empty….would definitely recommend
Bought this primarily for my stairs but found myself using it for ceilings, curtain poles & even blinds. It is so lightweight and easy to use. I love it.
Perfect for the car, saves taking the big shark outside which is good to clean the car too, but this is just so much more convenient. Suction is good. Have got more than 10 minutes per charge from it too.
Perfect for stairs, cars, sofa etc. works well and holds a decent charge.
Very good for dog hairs. For those not finding it so, make sure you have the head at the correct angle on the floor.
Pleased with this vacuum not disappointed at all good for light vacuuming.
This works so well, so much better than any hand vac I have ever had love i
Like it for small spaces stairs, & spaces that are small under cupboards& funiture
Like everything about it. Much easier to use than my Dyso
The vacuum is easy to use, and the run time is longer than advertised. The only down side for me is no anti hairwrap bar.
Wasn’t expecting too much, but pleasantly surprised. Used on my outside doormat and couldn’t believe it, it actually sucked up stone chippings by the side of the mat! It was that powerful. Really impressive, a good lightweight little cleaner, brilliant for the car, only downside is 10 minutes run time.
I have a small studio and didn’t want a full sized vacuum! The pet attachment is great for vacuuming my floor rug, and it really cleans it so well! Don’t worry about the 10 minutes of suction…. I haven’t had a time where I needed it to go longer, 10 minutes is surprisingly long when vacumming small spaces! Even if it does die, pop in on the charger for a bit and it’s charges pretty quickly 🙂
Wow…what a quality vacuum, lightweight, good suction power and cleans up pet hairs easily. Don’t worry about battery life, cleans quickly as does it charge. Brilliant…
Recommend as a great value cleane
Very pleased with the product. Suction is powerful and the brush is excellent for carpets or upholstery.
The best feature is the dust container – it is very easy to empty. The battery lasts long enough to go around the whole flat’s spots.
It’s not as large as you might think, but it helps you to get to narrow spaces.
Great little hoover for times you dont need the big hoover out. Good suction and the attachments are useful
A bit heavy but is competent in his job, well done Shark
Suction power is great. Easy to dispose of rubbish collected, with the one button and not a bad space for what it collects.
It does take a while to charge but once charged, I only use it for spot cleaning so it’s spot on. Could be a little heavy for some but I’m fine with it.
I’m very happy with it.
I already own a Shark, but needed a cordless for the car. I was unsure about what to get as reviews are so mixed. So far, so good. I haven’t done the car yet, but it worked great on the sofa and for a quick whizz around a few corners of the room. The suction is good. Good value. Wish they gave you a bag for the accessories though as they don’t attach when not in use, so I’m deducting a star for that b
Very easy to use. HS great suction for small vac. Only disappointment was thought it came with a stand
We have a large Mercedes disability van and this has enough power to complete the job from front to back with power left to spare. Great little vac
Great little vac…useful around the fireplace and hard to get to places
I love these little hoovers. I already own one and bought a second one for my Mum.
Don’t get me wrong they don’t replace a conventional hoover but they are so good for spills, wooden floors the car or just general bits of tidying up. They come with various nozzles for the ends which is brilliant again if using on a car. She recently suffered a stroke so can’t manage a full size hoover but this little gem makes her feel like she is still helping and can do some housework.
Great suction power, it is ver satisfying to see the dirt collected.
I like using it for the stairs and I’m always dropping something in my bedroom, so keep it nearby
The long hairs get tangled in the brushes and it stops altogether. It’s not easy getting the hair out. That’s the only negative.
The full charge will last for 15 mins or so. It’s got a great suction. Comes with different attachments for different jobs. All in all quite a handy gadget.
Purchased (requested) as a gift. Was exactly what was wanted. Compact and easy to use.
Good battery life, lightweight just wish there was an accessory to allow hanging it away
I bought this mainly for the car and also for the stairs. It did a really good job on both and is comfortable to hold. It charges up quicker than expected in about 90 minutes. I am pleased with my purchase
I’ve always been a big fan of Dyson but I decided that on my next purchase of an upright hoover, I’d try shark. Never looked back. Purchase this handheld cordless one for my stairs and the car etc. It’s a fab product. Highly recommend 5*
Great item and fairly powerful suction. clean/ brush filter regularly to ensure suction.
I like this product, handy for picking up the pet hair that gets into corners which is exactly what I bought it for. Could do with stronger suction, especially when using the motorised attachment on stair carpets. On the whole a useful bit of kit.
Excellent at suctioning cat fur, very pleasantly surprised. Good for a quick blast of the stairs. Charge doesn’t last a long time but if you move quickly then dreaded chores are done faste
Does the job bought for stairs,just seems to take ages to get back up to full charge.
For this to clean my car and to Hoover my stairs great purchase works as it says
Perfect addition to your normal vacuum.
Fills up quickly but my kids are messy!!
I don’t often write reviews, let alone give 5 glowing stars, but THIS amazing product I had to! I use this little beauty multiple times a day! Its powerful, its compact and its quick to recharge.
Thank you Shark for such a fantastic little product. You’ve made the endless crumbs and general mess of parenthood that bit more manageable. It’s a must have!
FIVE STARS +!!
Fast charging, light and powerful. Bin quite small so needs emptying regularly. A downside was the lack of wall mount, so I had to make one. Shark, please include a wall mount in future!
I liked the design, easy to use in home and car useful and dislike that battery charge finish so quickly
I needed something for my stairs that was easy to use. I especially like the wider end which is so much better for me than the more expensive leading models.
Bought this for my elderly parents, they love it, saves them getting the hoover out for just the odd bits, my Dad hes 80 says its very lightweight and easy to use.
Perfect for everything, very strong suction all the way to battery needing to be charged, very light and easy to use, perfect for stairs and being cordless ideal for car also, picks up hair very easily.
This is the best hand held hoover I’ve ever had. It does our stairs, sofa and car excellently. We love it. Easy to use and empty.
Bought one of these about a year ago and it brilliant at what it does. We have used it on a daily basis and it just works really well, could not ask for more.
Great product , easy to use bit fiddly to empty but but would not be without it, could do with a longer battery use, however its a great produc
Iv had 3 different hand held vacuums over the years but this beats the previous 3 most definitely, I was thinking of getting a corded type but I’d still need to plug it in and it wouldn’t have been as versatile as a cordless one, so after a lot of research and about the battery life, I decided on the shark and to be perfectly honest it’s really really good it’s suction is wonderful, battery life is excellent so I can’t fault it. So I do recommend this shark rechargeable hand held vacuum.
Small , good suction , easy to use. Good value for money.
These cordless vacuum’s are hard to choose because so many of them are for a car and that was not what I wanted.
It does the job but not the best one I have ever had – the best one is no longer available.
This is great for quick clean ups, however, I have long hair and it’s been really difficult to try and open the head to properly clear out the hair tangled. Right now, as I can’t unscrew the head, I have to cut with scissors which isn’t great.
Long story, short – great little vacuum, bad for long-hair people!
Such a good and handy little cleaner, lightweight and the suction is brilliant. Really good on the stairs and any other place in the home, car, caravan etc. The charge stays really powerful til it needs recharging. Easy to empty too. Very pleased.
