This model is also equipped with Clean Sense IQ technology. Automatically sensing the debris you can’t see, this clever function adjusts the power to clean up to 50% more dirt. An intelligent indicator in the floorhead illuminates the suction power, which increases to meet the demand of the task at hand and decreases again when the dirt is gone.

There’s something calming about having a white scheme. It’s a blank canvas you can add to and change up whether it’s with cushions, plants and flowers' Although the Shark IZ420UKT superficially looks like its predecessor, the Shark IZ320UKT, this new model retains the best features of the old cleaner and adds some new ones into the mix.

If you've read this far, then you might have gauged that I am a huge fan of this vacuum, and that I'd tell anyone it's a worthwhile investment. I test a lot of different vacs, and this is the one model that I've fought to keep in my flat (even though we definitely do not have room for it!).
