Brilliant suction and swift cleaning
Finally decided to switch from corded to cordless, our previous go to was a Henry vacuum cleaner. Chose the Shark as I’d seen multiple reviews where this came out on top against competitors. Was more than pleased with this decision.
Pros:
- Quiet and unobtrusive noise
- Surprisingly good suction
- Sleek, well thought-out design, all levers and buttons are clearly labelled so you can quickly remove/detach components as needed
- Feels much lighter than it actually is when in use
- LED lights on the front of the head are super helpful at highlighting missed debris and something I never realised I was missing
- Great battery life, enough to clean the whole house
- Excellent manoeuvrability
- Ships with plenty of attachments
- Overall great value for money in my opinion
Cons
- Emptying is, I’ve found, quite messy. Perhaps I’m not doing it correctly but the dust bin is opened by pushing a lever that you then have to grip to pull out a downward facing gate, it’s a bit of an awkward process however again it’s possible I’m doing it incorrectly, this is only a minor inconvenience
- if you have pets this is a definite no! Although it performs very well on carpets, when there’s hair in the equation, the brush head will very quickly clog up forcing you to get on your knees and snip the stuck hairs off using scissors. I would strongly advise against this product if you’re going to have a lot of long hairs lying about. In all honesty I prefer to use the hardwood setting on carpets too just to avoid the clogging, it still works very effectively.
