Shark Corded Upright Vacuum Cleaner 1.1L with Lift-Away Technology, LED Headlights, Anti-Allergen, 8m Cord, 750W, Crevice & Multi-Surface Tools, Blue/Black, NV602UK

Needed a new vacuum. Saw this on special, did a little research and clicked that button.Easy to put together. Fairly lightweight, and you can detach the motor and carry around one handed to get to those awkward places, like curtains and underneath grandma.Suction power is great, with two settings for hard floors and carpets. First use made the carpet in the living room look like new - and yes, I should vacuum more often.The pet cleaning tool isn't just a gimmick either. Tried it out on some cushions etc, removed all cat hairs etc very efficiently.Tried it on the cat, but she called her lawyer. Oh well..Floor unit part works fine too. Had two reasonably powerful LED lights, so you can see under things and remind yourself why you need to vacuum more.What else?Emptying it is easy peasy, lemon squeezy. The only thing I could criticise, is that the actual dust/cat hair/old toenails collection receptacle is a tad small. Lots of trips out to the garbage bin, but, its easy to empty, with a trapdoor mechanism so you don't even need to stick your hand in among the unmentionables to empty it out.The suction is a might powerful to be used on small rugs, as I found out, among various Laurel & Hardy scenes of me waving the wand end about with a rug attached, yelling "Stop! Damn you! STOP!"We live and learn, and that's not really a complain about Le Shark.That's it. Very good vacuum. Tad pricey, unless you get it on special, but for the money either way, it does the job.

So far very pleased.Much easier to use than my Dyson.Lift away feature is great.Very good suction, which has two settings.Mine came with pet tool and this is the only annoying aspect.The Shark accommodates two tools on its body but not the Pet tool.Not a terrible failing but you can't fit the Pet tool to it.Only the Brush and Crivace tools fit the base. Both work well and stay put when not in use.In lift away mode I find the Hose a little short, but you can fit the extension tube for high places which is useful.I got the Shark for @£139. A great saving probably due to it not being the latest model. It doesn't have the anti hair feature.But it copes with everything regardless.It's much easier to push around and manoeuvre between furniture than my Dysons ever were.Emptying the Shark is easy, just as well because it's only a one litre bin, so frequent emptying required.It seems well built and isn't too noisy.The filters are easy to remove and clean and work well.The power lead is long enough to do the stairs and fits on the Shark when not in use.The motor is powerful and doesn't seem to get too hot with extensive use. It will cut out should it overheat for safety.For the money the Shark is very good indeed. Being an old git with little stamina I find using it much easier than uprights from Dyson and Vax.That alone makes the Shark a great purchase.

I had high expectations of this machine and it has not disappointed at all. It arrived so quickly and it was beautifully packaged with great care by Shark. Not a single scratch on it. Very easy to set up and super easy to use. Cannot fault the ease of use at all and unlike some other comments about the cord getting in the way, I found the little side hook holds the cord well enough out of the way during use. I used to have an expensive Dyson Animal Ball 2 vacuum that was very good but I feel this Shark is better for ease of use because it's motorised. My back is not very good anymore so I knew the Dyson was no longer a good choice. This Shark also has just as good an air filtration system as the Dyson in that the air smells so lovely and clean after using it. This outcome actually did exceed my expectations a lot because I didn't anticipate another brand could compare to Dyson's Air filtration. The only thing I can say the Dyson outperforms this Shark in is the motorised attachment tool - the Animal Ball Dyson's one does not have a spindle that gets tangled with human hair which is one of their special design features whereas the one on the Shark does. However, I knew this would be the case because no vacuum by any manufacturer can adequately deal with the level of shedding my head of hair produces. However, this is only to do with this specific attachment. In terms of the actual main vacuum's ability cope with my shedding, I've found this Shark far out performs the Dyson. The Shark has left not a single strand of hair behind that I can see. However, I know that I need to gently cut the wrapped hair off the Shark's spindle every time and I'm happy to do that one minute job for the sake of the fantastic overall performance. Interestingly, Shark have designed a little groove along both the main motorised head spindle and also the one of the attachment where your scissor blade can scooch along safely as you cut. Genius! Also a win for this Shark is the operation lights at the front. Game changer for finding the dirt. Another huge plus is how quiet this vacuum is. Fabulous, fabulous machine. 100% happy I bought it.

This is my third shark corded vacuum. My old one just died so it was a done deal to,replace again with another shark machine. The excellent customer service and 5 year guarantee and an offer price. So it's arrived. The build quality feels lighter and cheaper than previous machines but the suction is stronger and my carpets are clearly cleaner. Hopefully the build quality hasn't been compromised but with a 5 year guarantee if it falls apart they'll replace it. So would I recommend. ? Yes I would especially if on special offer.
