This has been a brilliant hoover. I’ve had it for about 3 weeks now and the dirt it lifts out of the carpets is unbelievable. The anti hair wrap feature is a life saver. It’s easy to use, light weight, and has a long cord. The swapping from hard floor to carpet feature is also very good. Would 100% recommend.

I purchased the Shark HZ500uk corded stick vaccum a week ago I have used it on 3 diffrent occasions and so far i am pleased with the results it has given. I will go thorugh the pros first: 1. The suction is excellent, it picked up alot of dust and i had only vacuumed two days beforehand, but it was remarkable how much dust had collected in the bin. 2. The anti hairwrap technology works well, i have long hair and when turning the machine over to look at the rollers there were no hairs wrapped around the rollers. The filter seemed have a fair bit of hair wrapped around it though. 3. The vacuum is not heavy and seems to glide easily 4. if there is a blockage a red light appears which is useful as it is hard to tell when you are vacuuming that the rollers have stopped going round. 5. The fact that it can turn in to a handheld vac is very useful for a quick clean. 6. The machine is not flimsy or cheap quality, it seems to be made of strong good quality material 7. The machine takes up very little space and looks neat and tidy when stored away. 8. The dusting brush which comes with it is useful and i dont think i will be using my yellow hand duster anytime soon. Now for the cons: 1. You need to unwind the whole cord to use the machine (by turning the clip the otherway)you cannot unwind just a small length of the cord, this is a bit of a pain when you just want to do a quick clean in one room. 2. The hose does not adjust in length (my last vacuums hose adjusted in length) therefore if you are on the short side you will find it difficult, similarly if you are taller than average you will be bending whilst vacuuming. 3. This may sound contradicting but i feel on full power the suction is too powerful (the machine has two seperate settings, one for hard floor and rugs and the other is for carpets, when the setting is on carpets the rollers go at a much faster speed and i am assuming the suction also becomes more powerful) i have done one deep clean on full power, but i will not be vacuuming on full power anytime soon as i feel it may wear my carpets and i amwary that it may eventualy affect how the carpet is fitted (may loosen the fitting). 4. This point was not an issue for me but i can understand it being an issue for some people. The handle where you hold the vac has the bin canister at the front and this may take time getting use to. I did not have an issue but when my husband tried vacuuming, it took him a while getting use to it (It was either that or the fact that he only vacs once in a blue moon!!) Overall i am very pleased and would recommend the product to family and friends. My main issue is the fact that you have to unwind the full cord every time otherwise i would have given it 5 stars.

Very pleased with this product! It is lightweight to carry and to use - and cleans carpets and hard floors very well. Its flexible head makes it easy to manoeuvre and emptying the dust cup is quick and convenient. Unfortunately it does not stand upright when set up for use (you have to lay it down or prop it against an item of furniture if you need to let go of it eg to move furniture) but stands well when it is folded forward in half for neat storage. This makes it a great spacesaver! This a well-designed vacuum cleaner overall and a pleasure to use. It is a shame however that a stair cleaning tool is not included but has to be purchased separately.

Its a vacuum, does a job, not easy to get excited about.

Best vacuum I’ve ever owned, carpets finally feel clean!!

Very pleased with this cleaner, lightweight easy to manoeuvre and good suction

I just love my new shark which was recommended by a friend who is equally delighted with hers

I’ve had a Vax cleaner for years never been crazy excited about my hoover. So spent a long time debating over a shark or dyson. Let me tell you Shark has everything and more and price wise is perfect for all the features. I love the colour of this product, I love the featured headlights which help you to see in dark places. It folds up making it so compact and easy to store. It’s light to carry it doesn’t have the noisy sound of my vax....I literally love this product. BUY BUY BUY
