Product Information

Cordless) hoovers from Shark are breaking new ground. The brand doesn’t shy away from problematic areas that are often ignored by other suppliers. What we find a bit unfortunate is that it does not have a HEPA filter. We cannot fully attest to whether the anti-allergen Complete Seal is really comparable to it in our tests. Although it is a corded vac, the 9 metre-long cable will give you an adequate radius to work your way around the various floors in the home. Molly lives in a two-bedroom flat, and never found the cord to be an issue, with space to get to all of the rooms she needed to. There is an individual option to adjust the cleaning head brush roller spinning power and suction level according to the carpet flooring, and three levels of suction settings were admirable when testing it on carpets. You don’t have to maximize the suction level at the maximum position while maintaining regular house cleaning jobs. The medium suction settings have enough power to clean away all types of messes from carpets, even hidden dirt from carpets’ bottom layers.

Before you start vacuuming, the dust container, batteries and all other parts must be correctly inserted. By the way, you can see when the suction power is automatically adjusting thanks to an indicator on the floor head. Anti-Odour TechnologyGiving 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. That's because the sensors in the CleanSense IQ head will stop working if they become clogged with dirt or dust, and you'll lose one of the merits of this very expensive vacuum. Comparison To test how well the Shark cordless hoover does on hard floors, we spread a good amount of oats, lentils and sand on laminate flooring. The mess you make: If you live solo and spend very little time at home, you probably don’t need a cordless vacuum that’s been equipped with extra bells and whistles. But if you’re someone who lives with children or pets, you’ll probably need a higher-quality cordless vacuum that offers different features. Whether you want anti-wrap technology for pet hair or want a high level of suction for dinnertime crumbs, it’s essential to consider the mess you make when choosing a cordless vacuum.

The relatively new innovation to Shark's portfolio is Flexology which allows the wand to go from straight to angled, is a feature which we highly rate. It means that you can get your vac under the beds and various items of furniture that are raised up on legs. What we found, however, is that the floorhead wasn’t as easy to direct accurately as is the case when it’s used with the rigid wand. This wand has an articulating elbow that allows the vacuum to be folded up and stored upright, and it also allows you to more easily vacuum under low furniture. There’s a large display on top of the handle that shows the battery level and the power mode you’re using. We have already described the DuoClean Anti Hair Wrap floor head in detail in the accessories chapter. 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!). It really is unmatched for me in terms of suction power, and I've grown addicted to those clean vacuum lines it leaves in my carpets.

Compared to many cordless vacuum cleaners, what you get with the Shark Stratos Anti Hair Wrap Plus Pet Pro IZ400UKT is relatively sparse. Don’t worry, though – on the whole, Shark has simply pared the box’s contents down to the absolute essentials, without losing anything important. It comes with the main dual-purpose floor head, a crevice tool and a smaller “pet” tool.

Shark's Stratos Anti-Hair Wrap vacuum is a great investment for the home, especially those where pets are present. The anti hair wrap technology means debris like pet hair is a thing of the past in the home. The vacuum cleaner even removes hair from the brush roll, so you don't have to. This also prevents a build up of hair clogging the machine. With Clean Sense IQ, the machine will automatically adjust to the cleaning power needed when it detects dirt. Thanks to the Anti Odour Technology, any bad smells in the vacuum are neutralised. Cordless but Powerful Thanks to two Lithium-Ion batteries, you’ll get up to 120 minutes of power – plenty of time to clean a typical home from top to bottom. The battery takes just 3.5 hours to charge on or off the vacuum, so this cleaner will always be ready when you need it.
