Product Information

However, these are minor niggles in an otherwise superb-quality vacuum cleaner, although if you’re looking for a different style of cordless vacuum cleaner, check out my best list.

In a nutshell, the Shark Stratos Anti Hair Wrap Plus Pet Pro IZ400UKT is an absolutely phenomenal cleaner, and blitzed through all our tests.On hard floor, a total of two Cheerios hit the roller at the wrong angle and were ejected slightly too far to the side to be caught in the first pass but they were easily picked up subsequently. The other recent innovation that Shark has brought to this model is the screen and control panel on the top of the handle, which debuted on the Shark IZ300UKT. In its least demanding setting Shark says each battery will last an hour, and there are two of them, so you can have one on charge while you’re vacuuming with the other. If you prefer, you can just charge the battery in the vacuum’s body by plugging in the power cable at the rear. Simply put, Flexology is a hinge in the middle of the wand that lets the vacuum cleaner fold over on itself.

There are two small wheels on the front which get matted with dog hair and are not easy to clean even with tweezers! Two batteries mean that you can clean for up to 120 minutes (my flat is tiny, so I would never need that long), but I just wanted to test one battery at a time, as I feel that it's more applicable to most homes, who'll probably invest in the one battery model.However, apart from a small residue near the start of our pass, it certainly didn’t leave 6g of flour behind. Giving the dust bin a wipe to properly eradicate dust inside is a must with all bagless vacuums, and I've found that you probably only want to go about a month before you give a deeper clean to this vacuum. Below the handle sits the collection bin, which has a capacity of 700ml and is relatively simple to empty. We'll have to wait until it's been through our rigorous lab tests to see precisely how much dust it picks up, but you can get our first impressions in our Shark IZ300UK first look review. The latest Shark also comes with PowerFins - essentially a re-designed hard roller built to suck up ingrained dust from deep within carpets and target stubborn dirt on hard floors.

Go straight to our Shark Anti Hair Wrap with PowerFins and Flexology IZ300UK first look review for our full verdict, or read on to find out five things you need to know. That 60-minute run time is based on using the lowest speed setting and without the motorised head attached – in the middle speed using the roller head I get about half that, which is still more than enough to clean our three-bed semi-detached house. It uses a bendable tube that you can release from the vertical position and bend inwards, a little like a knee bending the wrong way. Similar in size and shape to Shark’s corded upright vacuum cleaners – the Shark NV702UK, for example – it’s more than capable of performing a whole-house clean. A pretty standard line-up with a brush tool and nozzle, but the dusting head is a bit different and takes the backache out of cleaning across the top of units or curtains.Well, your first question is probably what we mean by Flexology – which is Shark’s proprietary flexible vacuum stick design. The Shark Anti Hair Wrap with Flexology cordless vacuum cleaner is a good option for houses with mixed floor types.
