I absolutely love my new Shark! I've never spent so much on a vacuum cleaner, but can honestly say it's worth every penny - I cannot believe the amount of dirt and hair it sucked out of my carpets on its first use! At first glance, it looked tiny, and I wondered how it would cope with a large carpet. However, it steers! It's incredibly manoeverable so you don't have to keep moving furniture to accommodate it and it's light weight and easyto manipulate. I currently have it on its lowest suction setting and it glides easily between carpet, hard floor, door mats and even dog beds without losing suction or eating anything it shouldn't - my previous hoover sucked up the edges of mats and vetbeds, blocking up and making it hard to use effectively. It really does pick up hair and dog hairs without them wrapping round the brushes! And the pet hair attachment works amazingly on the stairs - in fact the whole lift away function means stairs are easy. My previous Hoover had a similar attachment but it never worked, grinding to a halt as soon as it encountered dog hair, so I'm really impressed with this one. It has quite a small capacity tank, but it is simple and easy to empty when I've finished using it each time, so this isn't an issue. I have only one criticism and that is that the pet hair attachment, being an extra, has nowhere to attach to on the body of the vacuum cleaner when not in use. Given that the model I bought comes with this attachment as standard, I feel this is a bit of an oversight. A minor detail, though, and I wouldn't mark it down because of it.

Good vacuum cleaner & works well on dog fur on carpets. Long lead. Large dust container. Easy wash filter. Good suction & selection of tools.

We've been due to buy a new hoover for quite some time and now that our daughter is strating to crawl around the house we wanted to make sure the floor is as clean as possible. We always had a cylider vacuum before but it's not so great in our flat as there is a long stair and split level too. After many days of research we realised that an upright hoover is probably better for our needs and determined to buy this model. The main reason for this brand was the "lift away" feature although other brands offer this feature as well. We originally wanted to go for the cheaper model - NV601UK - but this one was on such a sale that we couldn't say no. We don't have pets but would like a dog in the future so we figured if this is as good a hoover as they claim we may as well invest in the top of the range model and this should be still around when we get the dog. It's not like you can't use the pet hair remover tool until, it's perfectly good for human hair as well as dirt set deep in the carpet. Assembly was very easy and intuitive. Everything locks in with a satisfying pronounced click so you're never left wondering if the parts are connected properly. The design is not my favourite I find a Dyson much more elegant. This is not bad either but the shark logo is quite tacky, especially the plastic pretending to be chrome around the branding. Well it's a hoover and it's going to spend most if the days in the cupboard and will only be visible when someone is using it so we can live with it. One thing I particularly like is the fact that all the buttons can be used one handed. An example if you want to detach the wand, you press the detach wand button, it's easy, don't need two hands. It unlocks the wand that can be taken out one handed, no twisting and pulling. I was very surprised when I turned it on, it's so quiet. Our Dyson is of an older one and it's proper loud compared to this one. It's probably due to the new(ish) EU regulations that requires all manufacturers to keep the noise levels under 80 decibels. It's not easy to imagine loudness by decibels (for most of us anyways) so I'm just going to say it again, it's quiet! All the controls are on the handle -switch between hard floor and carpet and suction power slider - and I find these extremely easy to reach. Suction power slider should be adjusted to lower setting if you have a fluffy thick carpet and higher if you have a coarse carpet. If set correctly you should be able to move the hoover without much effort. One feature that I didn't see on competing brands is the headlights. I thought these as gimmick at first but they are surprisingly handy actually. They can illuminate under furnitures easily. I attached a photo because I wanted to show everyone how good this hoover is. Before trying this, I hoovered the living room with the old Dyson. Then immediately I hoover again with this. The result is on the photo. It's shocking to see how much more dust was in the carpet that the old one couldn't pick up. I'm not here to shame Dyson, this is a very old hoover compared to a brand new and I'm sure it would have been similar result with any new decent hoover. It just shows that old hoovers don't necessarily do a good job but we get use the loss of performance over the years. I found the lift away function as useful as they claim it. One press of a button and you can lift out the pod and carry on with the hoovering. This is extremely useful for hoovering under the bed or hoovering the stairs, ceiling. It basically eleminates the limited mobility problem of upright hoovers. The powered brush bars can be used in the lift away mode as this model has got the more advanced "powered lift away" function that allows this. The duo clean head is brilliant and picks up everything effortlessly. The anti hair wrap technology does its job seemingly, I didn't find any tangled hair on the brush rollers. It does say in the manual that even you see hair tangled on the roller, ignore it and it will make its ways eventually to the dust collector. Speaking of dust collector it's rather small, only 0.8 litre capacity so you will need to empty it often, it doesn't bother me especially because it's so easy to empty it. The cord is 8 metres long, there are other makes with longer and other makes with shorter lead, this sits right in the middle, I found it adequate. There is no cable retractor, but there are two hooks on the pod to reel the cable on it. The hoover is 6.5 kg total which I find lightweight and the pod itself is even lighter, it's really no effort to move around the house with it. The included tools are all good, just the standard stuff, nothing fancy, just what you need to clean the house, car etc. To sum it up, I'm extremely happy with this purchase. This hoover is not cheap, but you can save over £100 when on sale. It cleans extremely well, it's lightweight and mobile. It's got handy accessories and superior duoclean head that really makes a difference when hoovering. I'm sorry if the review got too long but there are so many things to say about and I wanted to cover everything. Highly recommended! Update after using it for 6 months: I still love the hoover no complaints from me. I don't know why some reviewers complain about the anti hair tangle function not working, mine works perfectly fine I never had to clean the brush. The only thing I noticed so far is how easily the paint gets scratched off of the head as you push the hoover alongside the skirting board. For me it's not a big deal, as I mentioned before it's an item that spends most of the time in the cupboard anyway, but for £300 you'd expect something more durable. It doesn't hinder the functionality though. Still recommended!

Very nice and well made hoover. I have a dog an I find it hoovers all the hair nicely. The only reason why I didn’t give 5 stars is because it is on the heavy side, so if you want to use it on the stairs for example it might be a bit heavy to carry around. Other than that it has good suction and good storage capacity.

This is a great vacuum cleaner - I got it almost a year ago and it's been great. It's easy and comfortable to use, also easy to maintain. I had no issues with it so far and the power of sucking remained firm since purchase. Perfect for my wooden panels and carpet. I thought I did not like vacuuming but it turned out I had a bad vacuum cleaner. God, I'm getting excited by vacuum cleaners now, I'm getting old...

This is a great vacuum. easy to use. adapts to different floor types without issue. It has great suction and power. For me it was well worth the money

Best vacuum cleaner even for a Dyson big fan. This is the first non Dyson vacuum cleaner I purchased and loving it. Suction is good and much quieter than my previous Dyson. It pick up a lot of finer dust and instant clean feeling with lesser passes combine to my good old Dyson. Another better design win my old Dyson would be the ease to dispose the dust collected. Allowing to open both top and bottom of the dust collection box meaning no need to reach deep for clumps always at the top for my good old Dyson. Obviously the lift up design helps a lot combining the benefits of and upright and non upright vacuum cleaner. If you have a dog/cat this DuoClean model is a must.

decent quality vacuum, with functions. It comes with precision tools as well which were a surprise and good for cleaning appliances and electronics. The anti tangling feature is also good.

This is an excellent vacuum! All the different ways to use it are extremely well thought out and allows me to get into any and every nook and cranny.

Pour moi, il n'y a pas mieux. Je travaille avec depuis plusieurs années maintenant et je n'ai absolument rien a dire. Il allie parfaitement la portabilité et la praticité d'un aspirateur sur batterie avec les avantages d'un aspirateur filaire, pas de limite de temps d'utilisation et puissance d'aspiration toujours maximale. mais comme la perfection absolue n'existe pas, j'aurais tout de même à noter un petit bémol : la canne est un point faible indéniable sur ce modèle. Le câblage permettant les fonctions de la buse d'aspiration s'abîme dans le temps et vous risquez de perdre certaines fonctions, dans mon cas principalement le mode carpet. Heureusement les pièces détachées sont achetables sur le site du fabricant.

It’s broken now (not happy ) the rotator head doesn’t work anymore.very disappointing

Excellent, a little bit on the heavy side but easy to manoeuvre with excellent suction (adjustable), better than my Dyson. So far, really happy with this purchase.
