Shark NV602UKT, Upright Vacuum Cleaner, Red/Black, 750 W, 1.1 liters, 80 Decibeles

I am over the bloody moon with this vacuum. I am also absolutely disgusted at how much dirt, dust and hair this thing has picked up, as though I'd never hoovered the house in all the years I've been living here. Upgraded from my 15yo Dyson animal and I could not be more impressed. Despite having hoovered a week ago, the Shark picked up quadruple the dirt I usually get up - so much in fact, I had to stop half way through each room to empty it. Best money I've spent in a decade, easily. The unboxing was a lovely experience, too. Nice paper bags for the components, stitched together at the seams and I even appreciated the 45° folds on the tape on the outside of the box it came in. Was super easy to put together, clicked into place easily and with almost no force required - which after years of strong arming my old machine was glorious. Though incredibly light and easy to carry around in any of its configurations, the suction is so powerful I do feel like I've had arm day at the gym, but I'm not mad about it. I also hoovered my cats' favourite chair and it looks like they've never touched it, which I'm also incredibly impressed with. My absolute only minor con is that the cord is about a meter shorter than I'm used to, but that's something I can easily overlook in the face of it's power, versatility and value for money. 12/10 would recommend to everyone

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.

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.

I really like the shark, it has no problem picking the dog hair, and there’s lots as I have 3 large dogs! It’s versatile and I love how you can take the container off the bottom bit to be able to do the stairs easily. The little pet hair tool makes doing the stairs a doddle as it easily picks up dog hair. Neither rotation tool seems to get clogged up with dog hair either. But I have a couple of grips, the container which holds the dust/dog hair is not big enough, so I’m emptying it very frequently. The other issue I have is if you are using the hose the vacuum has a tendency to topple over, which I find annoying. But overall I’m very happy with the shark, it does the job well.
