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

I've had Dyson's, Vax's and others over the years, but this Shark vac is certainly the best, most innovative, of the lot. Brilliant for the stairs, having only the motor unit/dust collection container to carry. Easy to empty the dust container. Suction incredible, as had vacuumed the week before purchase, with another make, yet dirt collection unit had to be emptied twice, for 2 rooms! Wife and daughter both have long hair, but clearing the roller is aided by a channel in the roller, enabling scissors to be used to chop through the hair, plus all the threads (wife's sewing machine the culprit). Good crevice tool with mini brush attached, plus vacuum driven mini brush unit. Takes a little getting used to how each part separates, but no other problems.

This is as close to the perfect vacuum cleaner I have owned (I have had Henry/Dyson, even Amazon hoovers)... But this machine is the beast I have always wanted. It literally filled up in one hoovering session (capacity not a problem, large), and it took seconds to empty without anything getting stuck. The cord length is more than enough. It's very effective at picking up pretty much anything. If anything does get hoovered up by accident it's easy to trace and remove. The speed settings are enough hard/soft. The lights are fantastic, I can see every single piece of dust and dirt there is. It's not heavy to move and makes hoovering fun again. It even looks fantastic. I find it hard to fault so the only thing would be the white dust filter needing to be washed or replaced, but I think it's necessary. Anyway, definitely buy it and ignore the people saying it's cheap, I don't know what they hoover with but it's definitely well made. Plastic doesn't need to be as solid as a 1960s hoover, it adds weight, just like cars didn't have carbon fibre, times change.

My last Hoover didn’t really suck in the end but this Hoover really sucks! Yes, I’m being sarcastic and making a joke but the sucking power with this Hoover is very powerful. The main unit and the Hose is very good and better than my old Hoover. Sadly this Hoover isn’t designed very well to do with the cable! Meaning you’ll have to throw the cable over your shoulder or hold it, while you Vacuum. Yes there’s a place to clip the cable into but it’s not very high and also it’s placed on the Hose; so if you use the Hose you have to unclip the Cable to release the Hose, to use it. The Hoover is very Light which is lovely and convenient but if you walk away from the main unit with the Hose it falls over; meaning you have to carry the main unit around with you. This is something I’m not used to as my Old Hoover would follow me around while using the Hose and didn’t fall over. Just means I have to get used to my Hoover and the new way of using it, compared to my old Hoover. There’s a setting for Hard Floor and for Carpet which actually works well, if you have it on the wrong setting the sucking power is so powerful you’ll struggle to move the Hoover due to the Suction. Overall it’s a great Hoover with only one flaw… the cable is normally in the way unless you hold it.

Amazing... almost TOO powerful! Suction is so strong had to turn it down for some carpets as couldn't push it (I'm under 5feet tall). But the results... wow!! Recommended to cousin who bought one the next day even though she vacuums every day the results were shocking... see pics - totally genuine

This vacuum sucked the life out my carpet and then some! I hoover on a daily basis and its put my old one to shame. Im both delighted and disgusted at what came up. Incredible quality, easy to put together and fantastic price

Great product delivered quickly. Picks up every bit as much dust as my £300 Shark but is so much lighter so ideal for anyone with mobility or dexterity issues who struggles with heavier weighted vacuum cleaners. I would say the cord hooks could be higher up but that's a personal thing because of back issues and the crevice tool does fall off its holder when the vacuum is pushed around. So some tiny little design issues but the lighter weight is definitely this vacuum cleaner's best feature ! I would highly recommend it just on that alone ! Two modes, carpet and hard floor. Sucked so much dust out of my carpet and yet it had been hoovered with the £300 Shark earlier today ! All in all, incredible suction, lightweight and simple to use. A little on the flimsy plastic side in places but for £130 you can't complain at all. Thank you Shark x

The Shark vacuum arrived quickly and was very well packed in environmentally-friendly packaging. The cleaner was assembled quickly and without even referring to the instructions. The motor is quiet and it cleans carpets very well. If the suction is too strong, making it difficult to push along on some carpets, there is a button on the handle that can reduce the suction. This Shark looks to be well made from quality materials(the wand tube is aluminium), it looks modern and the lights, which I thought might be a gimmick, work very well. I cannot fault this Shark cleaner.

Just like hundreds of other households, we discussed ad nauseam - the brands - the models - the type - of vacuum cleaner we needed/wanted for our home. I'd say it took a bit of convincing to have my husband agree to this brand and model (having been stuck on Dyson cordless for a while), but now that we have this - he is a big fan and how! Has happily taken over vacuuming duties for the house - not an outcome I anticipated but this just goes on to show just how wonderfully constructed, ergonomic and effective this model is. The Vacuum suction power is great, the dust storage tank has sufficient capacity, the cord is long enough to vacuum large rooms, sleak enough to not occupy a lot of space in under-stairs storage cupboard. I am confident this will last us a long time - money well spent!
