Love my shark

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 29, 2020

Wow, this vacuum is brilliant. It is easy to use and manoeuvre , lightweight and the lift away is really handy. I love the light on the front that shows all the dirt before you clean there! On the hose you have a adjustable tab that allows you to reduce the suction so you can happily go from normal pile to thick pile carpet without getting caught up. The amount of dust it removes is quite shocking. The first time I used it I had just cleaned with my old vacuum and just one room filled the container! Now I can do several rooms before emptying the container . It is very easy to remove and empty so don't let the smallness of it put you off. It holds more than you would think. My only note of caution is be careful when you use the lift away if you put it down it will fall over but for the stairs or the car where you are holding it it is great.

I have been so impressed with it that I persuaded my mum to get one and my brother too. Both of them love it, great for my mum as it is so light and easy to use. I had been searching for a good option for her, she wasn't keen to pay the money but I got it on offer so that helped.

Oh fab for dog hair too.

Awesome! Best Vacuum I’ve Had So Far!

Great vacuum, you won’t be disappointed.

PROS
-Great suction!
-There pretty good side suction when running it along skirting boards for example.
-Brush mode works amazing on carpets, ours have never been cleaner and we’ve been through various Vax and Dyson vacuums over the years.
-Lift away is neat and very convenient.
-All the bits click together well - the hose, attachment, waste bin, filter etc etc - very well engineered and easy to get to all parts, really easy to clean and de-fuzz the brush head.
-Front lights are actually really useful, especially on hardfloors.
-Stairs/brush (we purchased separately) is so good, an essential for stairs/sofas/beds etc.
-Great value for money compared to Dyson

CONS
-Overall not lightweight, but for the power and suction level, I understand it can’t be that light. I am referring to normal mode. The lift away mode is much lighter of course.
-The hose could have been a bit longer - but I prob should only use the hose when I using it in lift away mode.
-Bit bulky to get under lower tables and chairs in ‘normal’ mode. Just means I have to bust out the hose a bit more and move the kitchen chairs. This is a normal ‘issue’ with an upright of course.
-Wish the t-shaped attachment was a bit wider.

Note - The attachment connections seem universal eg just a hose tube, I could prob get a third party attachment that will simply slip on where a branded one doesn’t exist. Just contrasting to Dyson that has specific connector method.

So overall not any cons that should stop you buying this. If you’re not fussed about being cordless and want a real powerhouse vacuum, you can’t go wrong with the performance and price value of this one!

Nice bit of kit

I bought the Shark after owning several Dyson models that were a lot heavier. The first thing to note is the weight, this is very light and easy to move around, there is no strain in the wrist like I found with the much heavier Dyson. So in terms of weight its a massive winner.

Features wise I love this thing - you can use it as a standard upright, with the wand removed or with the ‘lift away’ you can detach the main unit from the base and you have a light, easy to use handheld with mains powered suction. Again big win. The unit comes with the long straight attachment and an upholstery attachment, pretty much standard fare but unlike the Dyson the attachments do store on the unit which is another win.

The suction is very good for a vacuum this light and the sliding switch between carpet and hardfloor is built into the power button so everything is there and you won’t easily forget to switch. With the nozzle and lift away you really do notice the pull on this thing so I can’t complain there. The bin is a decent size and easy enough to empty.

So why 4 not 5 stars... 3 reasons:

1 - When you switch the vacuum to hardfloor mode this automatically turns off the motor brush in the base. I don’t know if this is common, but with the Dyson I had the choice to override so that’s a bit disappointing. It still works don’t get me wrong, but at this price point it should be available. If you choose to leave the carpet mode on while hoovering a hard floor, this thing bounces around and sounds like its getting ready for take off.

2 - a lot of hair gets wrapped around the motor brush. This always happens I know but Shark make another model with technology to prevent this. In 2020 I personally think we should be beyond having to pay extra for this feature.

3 - the Dyson I had was filterless, so I have to remember to wash it out every three months. This isn’t a major thing and the Dyson was far too heavy, but there are a lot of warnings in the leaflets about rinsing it so I’m anticipating that it is not the best of filters.

All in all I like it and with a 5 year manufacturer warranty I guess you can’t go wrong. A very useful, powerful bit of kit for this price range.

Six stars out of five...it’s THAT good!

Pros-
Excellent suction with an easy variable twist function to alter the power of suction for different types of carpet and floors. It’s a very powerful motor compared to my previous vacuum from a ‘big name’ seller.

The myriad ways you can disconnect and connect different parts to the Hoover for reaching higher up places or the lift-away handheld feature to clean the car or stairs easier.

The cable is a decent length so had no need to keep unplugging for different areas. I prefer corded to cordless as can’t be bothered with the hassle of having to charge it up for hours and only getting 20-30 mins usage. Yes the wire can trail around you and get in the way but I’ve always felt that corded seem more powerful on suction, tho everyone will have a different opinion on this for practicality and mobility reasons among others.

So easy to unclip the bin and empty out when full. No dust clouds either so no longer need to go to the outside bin to empty it. The filters are easy to access and clean too.

Various good value attachments available to buy for different usage requirements such as the car kit attachments if you’re super anal about your car and true-pet brushes for those of us with cats and dogs that molt heavily.

Cons-
That I hesitated and waited so long to buy one in the first place, having put up with various other companies vacuums that didn’t impress for one reason or another.

In my opinion they simply can’t touch this for the powerful suction, multi-use feature set and lift away tech that makes hoovering the house, stairs and car less of a chore and more of a hobby haha!

I’m truly a Shark convert now and the added free 5 year guarantee gives you true peace of mind. Very good value for money indeed.

I wish I had bought this long ago!

So I've waited 3 months to write this review. I'm literally going to be very detailed so skip over if you want a brief overview.
I cannot lift heavy items due to a condition which means I can dislocate very easily. This has caused me to purchase 4 vacuum cleaners in as many years. Dyson, vax, Henry... Corded, cordless, you name it.
I found battery ones lacked power and definitely not suitable to do a house clean in a house with 2 adults, 4 kids, 2 parrots and a dark haired mutt in a house with cream carpets. It was giving me panic attacks seeing the mess!
My corded upright vax was heavy, bulky and difficult to manoeuvre. This, my OH said, is brilliant suction. I couldn't use it. Especially on stairs. We live in a town house. It didn't work for me.
I was using a small battery handheld vax for the stairs, upright for floors and a carpet sweeper for a quick clean.

This was first used after taking Xmas Dec's down. The upright had been over it before.. Woah. Its got up so much in normal carpet mode I couldn't believe 12 hours beforehand it had been vacuumed! The suction and brush bar literally pulls itself along taking a heck of a lot of pressure off my shoulders pulling it back and forth. This swivel head for getting around furniture was something that made it even easier to use. The dust bucket appears small, but is compacts so well.
It is so simple to take the nozzle off and use the hose, especially for dusting which is a lifesaver with parrots! The dusting attachment is great, either as a short length or with the extended handle. I can get those pesky Corner ceiling cobwebs so easily! Just a simple button to lift it away rather than bending down and unplug and reattach with a loss of suction. The suction is very good. So good it has got rid of the pesky marks under the door where carpets lift and the upright never caught.

Onto the Lift-Away. So, SO easy to do. One Button. I know people have commented that it topples. It can, but I use it to help me stand on the stairs. It supports me as I give my return staircases a clean. I lift it and clean the stairs as I go, then return for the lower brush bar so I can continue to vacuum the rooms upstairs. It makes it easier to do rather than lifting the whole thing in one go. It isn't particularly light as a full unit but it really has made it so much easier.
It feels like I do have two vacuums in one and the suction is amazing, even compared to a Dyson without the pesky filters. They are so easy to clean.
Another bonus.. I have two long pile rugs. They are great for hiding dirt, but also they are bad.... for hiding dirt! Most vacuum cleaners cannot use a brush bar over these rugs.... With suction (easily placed on the handle) opened up, THE BRUSH BAR GOES OVER! This made me happier than I actually want to admit as it makes me sound super sad! My kids bedroom rug is no longer a hidden land of debris that has to be released into the wilds of the garden after a good shake every so often! Yippee!

So, yes, I love this vacuum. Only negative, slightly annoying but not really a negative, I would like the cord to be slightly longer. But let's face it, there are plugs in every room. It's long enough to plug into a hallway and do each room from there and reaches the stairs.

All in all, I now have a cleaner house and less pain from doing so.

Good suction, easily blocked.

I like this vacuum. Have tried many brands and they all seem to have their faults. This one is no different. It seems well made and does the job well with good suction. The fact it comes apart could be useful for some when vacuuming stairs etc but I never really use the lift away feature. The built in light is very useful for seeing just how dirty your floor really is. It's well made and clicks together with a satisfying clunk. The filters are easy to remove and clean and get soooo full of dust it's unbelievable. The only problem I have with it is that it gets blocked very easily so I feel like I'm taking it apart to find the blockage every few times I use it. This is quite a satisfying process so I don't really mind. It's hard to get something out that's stuck in the hose as there's no easy way to get into it, best way I found was with a long piece of stiff wire with one end bent over.

FANTASTIC Must Buy Vacuum! - Powerful, multi-function and perfect cleaner.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 12, 2019

Verified Purchase

Having owned a Hoover (cordless) vacuum cleaner that cost almost £100, I was very dismayed after a few months as the performance was absolute rubbish, it was easier picking bits up off the floor by hand.

Then, I saw this Shark lift-away upright vacuum cleaner on Amazon at a really good price - £169.00, which to be frank, is a really good price to pay for a good vacuum cleaner.

Unpacking the vacuum was very easy, I didn't even need to refer to the user manual to set it up.

What can I say? I absolutely love it and I have only vacuumed around one square foot of my hallway carpet and just look at the attached images to see just how much dirt it lifted - despite my already going around with my 'useless' cordless Hoover!

It looks really good, very sturdy, well made and it really is powerful. I found it hard to push initially as it almost sucked my hallway carpet up and the natural pile of the carpet has suddenly resurfaced, making it look like new again.

I seriously am not joking, if this vacuum was rubbish, I would not hesitate to say so but it is brilliant, I can't believe I even dithered for a second prior to purchasing it.

Just look at the dust and debris it lifted from a small part of my hallway carpet, it's quite embarrassing, perhaps not to me but Hoover, who I am afraid in this case are the weakest link.

It comes with an upholstery tool and another 2 in 1 hard to get to tool to make cleaning your entire home EASY! Whether it is carpet, hard floor, curtains, under furniture or those hard to get to crevices, this Shark has real BITE!

Filters only need washing once every three months but I would recommend emptying the dust after every use to keep it in prime condition and working order.

I, hand on heart highly recommend this vacuum and as an added bonus, if you register it within 28 days of purchase you receive a 12 month warranty plus an additional extended warranty of 4 years that will cover you from the date of purchase making it guaranteed for FIVE years.

Now that really is what I call peace of mind - plus it is made in the UK, so purchasing this product benefits the UK economy too.

Additional tools can be purchased for those with pets to clean away excess hair that ordinary vacuuming might miss.

Impressed is definitely an understatement. If you want a good clean, it's got to be a SHARK!

One thing - I almost had a coronary trying to vacuum, it is REALLY powerful, my carpets look like new, unlike me!

Go on! you'll love it and it's guaranteed for 5 years!

Wow! Well impressed!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 24, 2019

Wow! I seem to go through hoovers at an alarming rate, I can’t even remember how many I have owned over the past 10 years and have had several well known makes, Dyson (3 of theirs) Vax (2 of theirs) Hoover (1). We live in a large farmhouse and have lots of animals, dogs, cats in the house and lots of other animals outside, it’s a constant battle, mud, hair, dirt being dragged into our home especially during the winter. The Dyson animal died so I started reading reviews and ordered the Shark Navy. Order and delivery was outstanding ordered yesterday 4pm and delivered the next day at midday. Pat on the back all involved!

The Shark Navy arrived and after reading the reviews and being a bit of a hoover (nerd) expert I was sceptical having read the previous reviews, how could any hoover be that good?! Well it is that good, the dust dispenser filled up so quickly I was in shock at the amount of mud/dust/bits it picked up as I had only hoovered with my Dyson Animal (RIP) yesterday.

The most difficult task was getting it out of the double boxed amazon packing. Extremely easy to assemble and took minutes to click into place. Much lighter and easier to am manoeuvre than my previous hoovers. The cable is the same length as a previous well known brand and to be fair it would never be long enough to get from one end of the house to the other.

The suction which can be adjusted is so easy to change going from room to room (different floor material). The stairs are now a pleasure to do and it takes seconds to unclip and clip it back onto the main hoover.

The house did not look particularly dusty (I had only hoovered the day before) but I had to empty the Shark after each room, I was particularly impressed that I was able to click open and clean the brush roller after use. We all have long hair (apart from the husband) I cannot believe that it was so clogged/jammed up with hair which had wrapped and trapped on the roller but it was easy to clean using both scissors and pulling the hair off manually.

It comes with a five year guarantee so I guess the proof will be if it survives longer than the last few models.

In short, a fantastic lightweight product, easily manoeuvrable, with easy instructions, cleaning the stairs has never been so easy with the clip off container. The only slight down point is that it must be emptied after every use (it fills up so quickly) but that is such a small point considering how powerful it is and how much gunk it picks up.
