Now I understand the Shark hoover hype!
5/5
I've always really hated cleaning, and particularly hoovering. Prior to this cordless Shark, I've only ever used conventional plugged-in, bagged, canister vacuums. Some better than others. But even the best canister makes I've tried fade into comparison to this Shark. The Shark Stratos cordless with two batteries is a solution to all my pet hates involving vacuums. Firstly, it's surprisingly small (especially folded up) and sturdy. Cordless is a revelation to me. I have a pretty big house, and dragging a canister hoover about - bumping along the walls and furniture was a pain, as was having to plug & unplug constantly as I went from room to room. The double battery means I can easily get the whole house done in one go, even if I forgot to charge one of the batteries. Performance-wise, this thing is the bomb! I was shocked to see what this vacuum was able to pick up from what I deemed to be a not too dirty floor. I love how the Stratos lights up the area you're cleaning too. How it hinges to allow for cleaning under beds and sofas. How it converts to a hand-held unit to allow for grabbing ceiling cobwebs and cleaning skirting boards and all those awkward wee corners. How it's bagless. Click and dump. I've gone from hoovering once a week, or fortnight, to hoovering nearly every day. In short, I think the Shark Stratos IQ IZ420UKT has made me love hoovering. I've even named it. Baby Shark, Shark, Shark, Shark, Shark....
