Shark Anti Hair Wrap Corded Stick Vacuum Cleaner with Flexology HZ500

Amazing hoover. Abit top heavy so doesn't stand well. Needs to lean against something. However the quality of the hoover out ways this. No hair gets in the brush. The filter has two sections. One only collects hair and the other the dust and dirt. Even if your carpet looks clean ,it sucks up stuff you'd never see. Love it. Long cord too which helps. You can switch from carpet to floor mode. And it's not too loud either. Would recommend

Very impressed after first use

Shark HZ500UK Review If you’re looking for a lightweight vacuum cleaner that doesn’t compromise on performance, the Shark HZ500UK is an excellent option to consider. I live in a 4-bed home with a mix of carpets and hard floors, but with low footfall as it’s mostly just me — the kids only visit occasionally. For my usage, the Shark HZ500UK has been a great choice. Pros -Compact and easy to store — The flexible Flexology wand bends to clean under furniture without needing to crouch, and it folds down neatly for compact storage — ideal if you’re tight on space or don’t want a bulky vacuum sitting out. -User-friendly — lightweight and easy to manoeuvre, especially on stairs and around tight spaces. -DuoClean floorhead — Despite having a smaller motor than full uprights or cylinders, the DuoClean floorhead provides strong carpet agitation to lift dirt effectively — and it’s equally efficient on hard floors. -The Anti-Hair Wrap technology helps stop hair from getting tangled around the brushroll, reducing the need for frequent maintenance. -The floorhead is also easy to clean, and switching between Hard Floor and Carpet Modes is simple and quick, ensuring the right level of suction and agitation for each surface. -Corded convenience — No need to worry about charging or loss of suction like some cordless models. The 10m power cable also gives you good reach across multiple rooms without constantly switching sockets. -Simple maintenance — small bin means quick removal and emptying; filters are easy to access and clean. -Low to moderate noise level - It isn’t overly loud compared to many uprights or cylinders — comfortable enough for regular use without disturbing the whole house. -Affordable running costs — replacement parts aren’t overly expensive. -5-year Shark warranty — adds confidence and value. Things to Consider -Small dust bin (0.3L) — fills up quickly, especially if cleaning multiple rooms at once — but the design makes it very easy to remove, empty, and reattach, so maintenance remains hassle-free. -Not ideal for high-traffic homes — households with kids, pets, and heavily used carpets may need something with deeper cleaning power (larger corded upright or a strong cylinder) and a bigger bin capacity. Accessories: -Comes with a crevice tool and a multi-surface upholstery tool with an attachable brush, ideal for sofas, curtains, stairs and the car. Plus, additional accessories are available on the Shark website — and they’re not too expensive, which keeps long-term use affordable. Recommendation -For homes like mine — where carpets don’t get heavily soiled — the HZ500UK is a strong primary vacuum that’s reliable, convenient, and comfortable to use. However, for busy family homes: -Choose a full-sized upright or cylinder as the main vacuum. -Use a cordless as your quick-grab secondary for daily mess. The HZ500UK would feel underpowered as the only cleaner in a high-traffic household. Price & Value: RRP: £179.99 I managed to get mine during the Black Friday sale for £115, which felt like a fantastic deal for a premium brand vacuum — especially with a full 5-year Shark warranty included. Even at the usual retail price, it still offers very good value considering the build quality, convenience, and cleaning performance it provides.
