Amazing Vacuum, Really Recommend
5/5
I switched to this vacuum cleaner having used a Hoover cylinder vacuum for a number of years. Honestly shocked by how much more the Shark is picking up. I thought my house was clean!!
Some of the features I have really enjoyed:
- Anti-hair wrap. I have long thick hair which gets everywhere, and also a cat. The Shark handles both easily. I checked the brush after a few weeks of use and there was minimal hair on the brush. I do find it collects in the cylinder bit in the bin, so to ensure continued suction I find I have to empty the bin after every use. But for me this isn't an inconvenience.
- Absolutely love being able to detach the floor part and use it as a handheld vacuum. This makes it much easier to use some of the tools, and means it's nice and lightweight. I hoover my sofas every so often now, because I can and it's super quick
- Flexology. This seemed a bit gimmicky but is actually really useful. Works best on hard floors but is doable on a short pile carpet also.
- All paper packaging. It's really lovely to see a premium product packaged in an environmentally responsible way. There were two bits of plastic in the box, one was the plug cover and the other was a plastic cable tidy. Everything else was paper based.
A couple of minor points from me.
- The 10m cable is really good because I can access all areas of my flat from one socket, however it is a little unwieldy.
- The bin capacity is quite small. I clean my flat once or twice a week and still manage to fill the bin quite a lot so I empty after every use. I don't mind this but someone with a bigger house might end up emptying partway through a clean.
