I don’t use it for stairs – I live in a bungalow! It is good on kitchen and bathroom tiles and it is good on carpets. What more can I say?

I am a previous owner of the Dyson cordless vac. The Shark is better in its performance.
The head of the main vac I found to be a bit bulky to go under furniture.
It is heavier than the Dyson and I found it difficult to use to vac out the car.
However all in all I prefer the Shark simply for its suction power.
Easy to swap out tools and to remove the battery to recharge.
Was a little concerned that the run time is only 40 mins but found it ample time to vac the whole house .
Good product but a little pricey.
As a last note I would have liked a brush attachment of some sort but my model didn’t come with one.

Huge spider in the house last night, ordered this straight away to keep upstairs as my other Shark is an upright and cumbersome to get upstairs in a emergency such as this!! Well made, works a dream and has a trigger booster suction- fantastic as always great quality from Shark. Critters and dust beware!

For me this is worth every penny, I used to hardly ever vacuum as was such a pain, now I genuinely enjoy it and do it multiple times a week because it is just so insanely easy and gives such good results, it’s very rewarding. I have a one bed flat with wooden floors and the first time I used it it honestly looked like I’d polished the floor, it gleams now. Also amazed how much dust it still picks up between regular vacuums.
I was surprised how small it is, especially when folded down
I can do the whole flat easily on one charge
I love how you can take off the stick so you can use it on sofas and smaller items
Also like how you can then charge it wherever you want
The feature where it bends to vacuum under sofas etc is very cool
It’s also very nimble, that’s probably one of the best things, so going round corners etc is easy as the head can sort of swivel side to side
Obviously great to be cordless
The onnnly thing I’d mention is that it would feel slightly weighty if you were doing a whole house, but you can’t really expect less when the whole machine is in hand and it’s really not bad
Previously I may have felt it silly to pay so much for a vacuum esp when I had an old fashioned one already, but I’m now a big believer in buying good appliances to make housework easier so you can enjoy your weekends and live in a clean home that makes you calm and happy

First venture into cordless vacuums. The Shark is easy to put together but beware that the battery needs to be charged before use. First use today over the entire house (approx 130 squ metres) with a mix of hard floor and carpets and the battery is not yet 50% spent. Pickup is good and the hair wrap works very well as evidenced by all the Golden Retriever hair being in the dust trap and not on the brushes. Well pleased but shocked to see that the price has increased by over 50 in three days

I bought the Shark steam cleaner a few months ago and was highly delighted with it, so when my Dyson started playing up I decided to try the Shark. It compared well against the Dyson and was much cheaper than the latest model.

Even though this vax is heavier than other market leaders, which is not good for my arthritis, I love it.

It compares well with the main market leaders in every way, except the weight. I love the way it stands on its own when unfolded as well as the way it folds reducing the amount of space it needs.

The Shark gets into corners better removing all dust and dirt and lights up the floor so you can actually see it picking up the bits much clearer and reduces the need to go over the same surface over and over again . The storage compartment removed easily and quickly and is easy to clean and, unlike the others, does not collect dirt in the closure plates as some of the others do. It is generally a much cleaner process to empty it.

Being able to move directly from one surface to another at a touch of a button and boost the suction where necessary is a very smooth and quick process.

It has a number of add-ons, including a very useful pet attachment, a suction surface attachment which is great for work surfaces and a stair brush, as well as the proverbial corner attachment.

To top it off there’s the two batteries. There is nothing more frustrating than getting part way through the cleaning to find the vac has run out. Not with the two battery Shark. Two batteries and a double charger ensure no interruptions and a continuous clean.

The only negative for me is that there is no separate extension attachment for overhead cleaning but I still have my old one for that and the other benefits certainly make up for it.

So pleased with my shark.
It has powerful suction, great design and yet light to use

Very good hoover. I have a dog with a lot of hair and this hoover removed all hair from the carpet. By the way 40 minute or 30 charges doesn’t matter because all u need is 20 to 25 minutes maximum to hoover living room and hall way.

Excellent piece of kit so far. Light enough to not cause me to need a lie down after using it, more than enough charge to deal with the slovenly teenagers craters, sorry, bedrooms. Cat is terrified of light on the front which is excellent for illumination of bits on the floor and the terrified cat skulking at the back of the sofa. Really nifty function that allows the tube to hinge so that I can further torment the cat by hoovering under the sofa without crawling on my hands and knees which then requires a convenient piece of furniture and/or crew of stout men with a block and tackle to get me back up on my feet afterward. Pity it doesn’t go “dum-dum, dum-dum” whilst you are hoovering given the name,but then Mustangs don’t neigh, so perhaps that’s an unreasonable request. No hesitation recommending it, oh and the moulting child’s long hair really doesn’t get wrapped round the brush bar, so I can ditch my old Saturday hobby of cutting the hoover loose at long last. Wonderful!

So after hours of researching the sharks I decided to go for this one. It was on offer and a great bargain . I have wanted a cordless for a long time and so far I am not disappointed. It was so easy to put together and once I had charged battery off I went . My house was done in no time and considering I hoover every day with hetty I soon filled the bin. The light on the shark highlights places hetty did not do . I love it and so glad I purchased. The small part is fab for stairs and sofa . So far the suction is good it’s got everything up . I was worried the 40 mins charge would not b enough but it lasted ages. Putting it in charge each evening will guarantee its good to go for the day . I always have to hoover a lot so this is good for me. I am super happy with this overall at first I thought it was a bit heavy but after 5 mins I realised its not bad at all. The only downside is the attachments they are basic but not bad. I like the attachments with the brush and these do not come with the brush on them. You can purchase them separately from shark so I will see how I get on for a bit with the basic ones but will properly purchase one as I like to brush my stairs . It is only a minor but a honest review. Roll on my big new years day clean tomorrow using my shark .
