Shark Upright Vacuum

What a brilliant compact flexible machine, my new best friend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I already own a shark vacuum and my expectations were high for this product. I am happy to say I have not been disappointed. Communication regarding delivery was timely and correct and the product came well packaged. Not only does the vacuum look great but it also does a fantastic job. As a pet owner, hairs are a constant challenge but this was no issue for this device. In fact, not only did it collect the hairs but it also pulled out a large amount of dust from my carpets that my previous shark was missing. The suction on it is extremely strong and way better than any other vacuum i have had. In terms of practicality, it is fairly light to use, very quick to assemble and easy to switch between carpets and hard floors and I particularly like the different levels of suction available. I am struggling to find any negatives - sometimes there is a slight squeak when pulling the device back on carpets. This might be related to my device only but in all honesty doesn't bother me. I am really pleased with the cleaner and it is everything I would want in a device. Well done Shark!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I noticed when I unboxed the vacuum was its beautiful red plum colour. It immediately stood out and looked much more premium than I expected. Assembly was very straightforward, with all the parts clicking easily into place. We have a fairly large house with young children, pets, and a mixture of flooring, including wood, vinyl, thick carpet, and low-pile carpet. When choosing a vacuum, the key things I look for are weight, suction power, cord length, manoeuvrability, floor compatibility, pet hair performance, handling of long hair, filtration for allergies, and noise level. As far as this vacuum goes, it ticks every box. I have owned it for just over a week and have tested it on all of our floor types, as well as on the stairs and for high-level cleaning. Previously, I had only used cordless vacuums because I was concerned that a corded vacuum would feel restrictive. However, I always felt that cordless models lacked suction power. This vacuum definitely doesn't have that problem. The suction is excellent and, while powerful, it doesn't feel difficult to control. In fact, it almost feels as though it guides itself across the floor. One of the biggest advantages is the ability to remove the main pod. This makes it much easier to carry on stairs and reach high, awkward areas around the house with the included Duster Crevice Tool. The cord length is also more than adequate for our Victorian hallway and staircase. Despite my initial concerns about moving to a corded model, I have not felt restricted at all. The generous cord length allows me to clean large areas without constantly searching for another socket or having to stop and restart my cleaning routine. The vacuum is very easy to manoeuvre around furniture and corners, and with the quick switch of a button I can move between different floor types without having to change heads. This saves a significant amount of time when cleaning. Pet hair and long hair wrapped around the brush roller have always been a frustration for me, but this is no longer an issue with the PowerFins HairPro technology. It is also much quieter than I expected, which is a welcome bonus. Finally, the bin is very easy to empty, the filtration is excellent, and the filters can be removed easily for cleaning. As a household that suffers from allergies, we noticed a real difference. I was genuinely surprised by how much dirt and dust the vacuum collected from our hallway and stairs, especially considering I vacuum those high-traffic areas almost every day. It really highlighted just how effective the suction and filtration system are. The LED headlights are another feature I didn't realise I would appreciate so much. They make it much easier to spot dust and debris in darker areas and ensure that nothing is missed during cleaning. The only minor drawback I have noticed is that it is slightly heavier than the cordless vacuums I have used previously. However, this is something I expected from a corded model, and the additional weight is more than justified by the excellent suction power and overall cleaning performance. Overall, I am extremely impressed with this vacuum and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful, versatile, and easy-to-use cleaner, especially in a busy household with children, pets, and a variety of floor surfaces. It combines the convenience and manoeuvrability I was looking for with the powerful suction that I felt was missing from my previous cordless vacuums. For us, it has been an excellent addition to our home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hoover arrived and was so easy to assemble from the box so could use it instantly. Straight away I noticed how easy it was to maneuver. The suction power was noticeable straight away and with the high low selection button so easy to adjust while using it by the design of the handle. My daughter has very long hair and after use I noticed the roller had no hair wrapped around it as all my past hoover had. After a week of use there's still no hair wrapped on the roller. The filtration system is second to none. So east to use on the stairs with its detachable cylinder and light enough to be not be hard work. The dust collection cylinder is so easy to empty compared to others I have had before

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got this and honestly after a couple of uses I’m so happy to report this genuinely works so well - literally professional level cleaning with the single swipe being sufficient to deep clean and get rid of every tiny dust particle. The anti hair wrap actually works and I can report that no hair was tangled in this (my biggest concern since my hair sheds a lot!) . Also, the colour is so stunning and the cord is massive (can easily go from one corner of the house to another. The filter/dust collector is massive which means I don’t need to keep cleaning it after every other use (saves so much time). Overall, would not think twice before getting this!
