Shark Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner [IF250UKT] Pet Hair, Twin Battery, Navy

Really pleased - it's so much easier to use as cordless and this one is really powerful (2 power levels). This has done the trick. Very easy to use, lightweight, quieter than our previous hoover but has the same powerful suction, cleans up fine dust and 🐕 hairs. Battery charger is compact and easy to use, plus ample set of additional tools. Used the handset on stair carpet and it made the job easy. Chuffed to bits with the price and the guarantee.

This hoover has surpassed my expectations! I love it. So practical. I've only had it 2 days and normally I wouldn't write a review until I've used a product for longer but I am just itching to recommend it. So easy to use in every way, I've tried out all the attachments and it stores in a very small nook and folds over! Wooden floors are easily done, the edges easily suctioned by lightweight wand. Ceiling, cobwebs also a breeze with the lightweight wand and 4 different attachments. Very narrow crevices for in-between my fitted blinds and the glass windows are no problem using the upper detachable handheld part. One tiny gripe is that to empty I have had to use a small pair of tongs to pull out fluff and dog hair completely, it just doesn't empty everything out by tipping it over the bin. I'm willing to forgive this tiny detail as its brilliant in every other way and many other modern hoovers have the same issue anyway if they are bagless. I've made sure to put the battery on charge as soon as it has been used and kept it topped up for next use, just took about 2 hours plugged in to re-charge from almost empty. Just easy to use, super efficient, did the fabric sofa so easily, every corner feels clean, all the dog hair pulled from the rug very well too. Also bonus that it is so lightweight the kids can use it. 100m2 house, no stairs, wooden floors, 2 rugs, from what I've used it for so far I think I will get all the general hoovering done on one charge. It would probably require a re-charge before then going on to do window sills, fabric sofa, behind furniture, cobwebs etc but that suits me fine as I don't need to do all those jobs every single day anyway. LOVE IT............BUY IT!

This is my first time purchasing a cordless vac and I had my doubts based on other reviews about it getting blocked etc but it is one of the best purchases I've made. I've had this vac for nearly a year now, so feel like I can make a proper review.This vac is absolutely amazing! We have 3 house rabbits so have to vac the house at least once a day of fur and hay etc and it barely ever gets blocked. If it does, it's super easy to clean. I originally thought that I would buy this as a second vac and keep my old Vax corded upright for big jobs such as cleaning the rabbit cages, but honestly I haven't used the corded upright since investing in this. Some reviews say that this gets blocked easily from pet hairs but this simply isn't true.The suction power is brilliant and works well on both hard floor and carpet, including deep pile rugs. You'd be surprised at the amount of dust your old hoover doesn't pick up! I rarely find myself having to use the high powered mode as the normal mode works wonders. I clean the filters monthly when I feel like the suction power is lacking a bit and this makes it feel brand new again everytime. I don't think the filters would need cleaning this often if you didn't have pets, but it is recommended. You should also clean the brush bar regularly as hairs get trapped around that too, but again, it's so easy as it has a groove which you can cut along with scissors to pull it all out.I bought the one with two batteries but you can easily vac a 3 bedroom house on one battery if you aren't deep cleaning. However, I would buy the two batteries again as it's handy for when you want to deep clean or if you've forgotten to charge one of the batteries and need to use it. The two batteries version also came with a pet tool which is great for sofas and beds, it picks up so many hairs that you can't see! It's also great for stairs.I had my concerns about the small capacity and knew I'd have to empty it very frequently, however I don't find this annoying in the slightest. It's really easy to empty it and takes about 20 seconds and surprisingly, it does actually hold more than it sounds.I have read reviews about it being annoying because it doesn't stand up alone and that it's heavy to use. Most cordless vacs are top heavy so won't stand alone, but this one folds easily so isn't an issue and eventually you get into the habit of folding it every time you want to stand it up. This also makes it much easier to carry around and even has a handle to do so. The vac isn't heavy to use and definitely doesn't make your arm ache (unless you're using it for hours?!), infact when I first used it I was surprised that it felt like the vac was actually dragging me and I didn't have to do much work. It's definitely not as heavy to use as a cordless upright.In summary, I don't have a single negative point about this vac and think it's the best cordless on the market. It's really worth the purchase and if you're switching from corded to cordless then you really notice how fast and easy it is to clean compared to a corded. The suction power matches that of the best corded vacs and it's honestly a joy to use. I did a lot of research comparing cordless vacs before purchasing this, including comparing it to Dyson and I don't regret my purchase at all.

Overall this is an impressive item. Powerful enough to replace a mains powered unit and versatile enough to cover most cleaning jobs. The ease of changing from cleaning floors to furniture to ceilings speeds up general cleaning and it is useful that the hose joints are standard so the power head can fit directly on the main unit which is great for stairs. The spare battery is handy but most of the time we can clean everything with one battery.Now the minuses. The dirt capacity is a little small and the container cannot be removed and washed. The rollers tend to stop on our deep pile carpet and it’s not particularly deep. The hinge joint on the hose does not inspire long term confidence.Over the years we have used most types of cleaner including Dyson, Gtech, Vax and many mains powered. This is not perfect but is about the closest we have found.The extra car kit is useful for all sorts of fiddly cleaning but we have found the special hose fitting for getting under furniture is a waste of money.The powered animal hair brush is great for stair cleaning but it is pretty easy to use the normal floor brush. Just remove the long pipe.
