Highly rate this item. Not only did it arrive within 2 days, it was well packaged, and is way better than any vacuum cleaner I’ve owned....although it’s only been a day, but it’s very good at picking up our dogs’ hairs, the lights at the front are a very good feature and our carpet looked super clean with each stroke. It’s a bit heavy but it glides well and it went virtually horizontal to go under our coffee table! Amazing!!! And it’s surprisingly quiet!! For me it was a lot of money to spend, but definitely worth the investment!
sree.uk.fxrgsmbrI don’t think I’ve ever written a review this quickly before but this is genuinely the best vacuum ever!We did an experiment and vacuumed one area with our trusty old Miele. This area had been hoovered yesterday and then again 2 minutes before the Shark.The area looked clean and cat hair free on simple inspection. We then used the Shark and could not believe the additional hair and dust that was collected.It’s really well made, solid and got great accessories and really like the plugged lift out options. The light on the front is a cool extra too.Power pet brush is really useful and gets deep into stubborn areas.We have three cats and this will make a massive difference!
LR1983Have only had my lift away for a week, so can’t really comment on how reliable it is. It was very easy to assemble, I like that the switch to change from carpet to hard floor is easy to reach on the handle. Same with the min to max power.. it picks up very well and is easy to change from floor to using nozzle or lift away section. So far I am very pleased with my purchase. One downside is that there are 3 extra nozzles/brushes but only room to store 2 on hoover so 1 is always left behind which is inevitably the one you wanted !!!
jelly_cubeI was apprehensive about going back to a corded vacuum cleaner but i shouldn't have been. I'm amazed at how good this is. It is heavier than what I'm used to but I'm willing to put up with that for how much cleaner my carpets are.
sean-2005I was looking for a vacuum that would pick up cat hairs, having a mostly indoors cat, we find that her fur gets embedded into the carpets and it's really hard to get out. Previously we found ourselves using a manual brush and then vacuuming after - very tiring! This has become so much easier with the Shark, ESPECIALLY with the pet power brush, I really recommend getting that model if you have pets. I was amazed how much hair it got up, and combined with the liftaway it made doing the stairs a breeze. I love the versatility with the settings for hard floor and carpet and the ability to reach cobwebs high up too. A small gripe is that it can be heavy to manoeuvre but that's better if you use the liftaway, and the dust container is small as people have said but I don't really mind emptying it often. Very glad I got this hoover for our kitty carpets!
PandaPicks up well, great suction, easy to empty, however needs emptied often Hoover is heavy and difficult to manoever
carolybrad_8Fantastic!Having read the reviews after being thoroughly fed up with my very expensive, very poor Dyson, I decided to give this a go. Dead easy to assemble, a touch on the heavy side but I am rather short to be fair, I'm sure a taller than 5'1 person could lift it with ease. The detachable bit for the stairs is amazing, easy to carry and move around, loads of clever buttons that are all clearly marked and very satisfying to click, a proper clunk if you will, so you know it's pressed. The first time I used it, I noticed the carpet pile was lifting and not looking all flattened like it has been. I decided to do a proper test and vacuum with said stupid Dyson before I used this bad boy, just to see what it would pick up....the picture is of what it picked up on one go around my living room. Feeling slightly queasy and gross, I did the rest of the house. The tools fit on the base of the vacuum so you can swap quickly, I gave everywhere a proper clean and ended up emptying it 4 times from what it picked up...I'm a clean person and vacuum at least 4 times a week, I have 2 dogs who shed like they'll soon get charged for it and a teenager who is, well, a teenager. This is the absolute business though. The price goes nowhere near reflecting the performance, I would expect this to cost far more than my Dyson pet vacuum did as it out-performs it by miles and miles. Please don't judge my dust, the house is spotless now!
SarahFantastic!

Much larger and heavier than I thought, but that's OK. Very easy to assemble. Some reviews said the cord was too short. I think the length is fine. This Shark replaces an old upright that was no longer doing the job and it was impossible to buy the filters anymore. We have coir carpets and this cleaner really sucks up dirt. A vast improvement. I wish I'd bought this before. Super powerful!
Bill.TI love this hoover!!! I have a pug and anyone who has a pub can appreciate how much they malt! Well this hoover has picked up all the hairs!!! It has lifted my carpet back up and made it look like a brand new carpet again!! I would definitely recommend this hoover!!

Amazon CustomerAmazing, amazing, amazing! This is the best cleaner I have ever owned, it actually makes me want to do the vacuuming. Carpets, rugs, wooden floors, tiles - everything is cleaner than before. It’s easy to get into the corners and even to reach cobwebs by the Velux. Emptying it is so easy that I do it without even thinking after each use, and I even bother to clean the filters monthly because it’s so easy. We have 2 cats and 2 dogs, including a Retreiver, who leave lots of fur and mess, but the Shark copes easily with this. The only thing which could improve it is having a light on the wand, as once it is removed from the main cleaner, you lose the lighting.
Warwick G.Arrived next day after ordering and by chance, my daughter-in-law walked in the door and said cheerfully 'Oh, good! I've got the same model-it is brilliant!' And promptly began to show us how our new Shark works. I am 82 and my wife is 77 so this is just the ticket for us. Not heavy, and easy to use on the stairs as well as the floors in our house.
Amazon CustomerVery best vacuum cleaner ever used and with the added bonus of “lift away”. Easy to use, easy to empty and excellent at cleaning. This model also has the “pet brush” thus making the Shark an all round superb product.
1293241106@deletedThe vac works perfectly on carpet, it sucks up a treat.. But, the thing has carved tram lines in my wood floor and lino. I'm having to send it back before it destroys the floor completely.
Mrs Elizabeth DavidLove it! I have two Beagles, one of whom spends his days shedding fur. I wanted something to allow me to hoover down the sofas with ease. The Shark does this wonderfully! It sucks up all those dog hairs with ease. With the 'lift-away' facility hoovering furniture and all those difficult places to get at, has never been so simple. One of the best buys in years.
C. J. SimmonsI have previously bought Dyson animal cleaners, but my last one I found disappointing, so opted for a change. I chose this one based on some of the reviews I had read on amazon, but I hadn’t expected it to be so good.It came in a variety of pieces but was very straight forward to put together. I’m not the most practical of people, but had it assembled in about 5 minutes. Being able to swop between hard floor for my matwell, and quite deep pile carpet without fussing with different attachments was also a bonus for me. I also used the lift away system to vacuum the stairs which worked really well, really easy, light and did the job perfectly.I have two dogs, and although my previous dyson had lifted most of their hair out of the carpet there was still some there, also what I can only describe as dirt which I was horrified to see coming out of my carpet.I’m not the strongest, but didn’t find this too heavy. The light on the front is useful too.I think this vacuum cleaner would be a strong contender for anyone, so glad I bought it!!

Featuring the patented Shark powered lift-away. This means the pod can be detached but the brush in the head continues to rotate, so you can reach right under the trickiest furniture for carpet cleaning in lift-away mode where traditional uprights may struggle. The dust container empties easily without any need to touch the dirt. Anti-allergen complete seal captures and traps 99.9 Percent of dust and allergens inside the vacuum, not releasing them back into the air you breathe. This true pet model includes the pet power brush to remove stubborn hair from stairs and upholstery.
