Shark Clean & Empty Cordless Vacuum Cleaner with Auto-Empty System, Lightweight Anti Hair Wrap Vacuum with Pet & Crevice Tools, 40 Mins Run-Time, Charging Dock, LED Headlights, White/Blue, BU3521UK

I have had this for a year now and can give a fair review. PROS: Excellent performance, I had a Dyson V8 pet before and this really out performed it. As I have two cats this was chosen to deal with the shedding and it handles this task like a boss. I have carpet and hard floors I have no problem as it automatically changes suction to deal with both. Very versatile and cleans well No cords to wory about and the battery life is very true to time cleaning. I get around 30 minutes full power. 40 minutes on Eco power. LED indicators lets you know how much battery you have left. You also can choose different cleaning modes on the handle area on a press of a button. Very easy to take out filters and de-asemble to clean. Really like that it has little buttons to clean the entire vacuum for good maintenance. Quick and easy. The clean and empty feature means no need to be fiddling with emptying the Vacuum manually. Its very light weight and easy to move around/ carry. Amazon sells all the required Shark filters so I got a 4 set and stocked put. So while filters are clean/ washed and drying I can use a new one without waiting. CONS: You will need to empty vacuum by sitting it on the clean and empty cradle often while cleaning as the cup will fill quickly as its small but not a problem just a thought to keep in mind if you have a large home. However thats quick just place it on the stand and it suctions out in seconds. You must have the moon lit botton off to empty the vacuum. If the moon lit botton is on that's the quiet mode setting and it will not empty vacuum it you sit it on the stand with it on. Cleaning the filters - I would say to wash these every month or so if you use the vacuum every day or 2 days like I do. I had this for 1 year and I only just cleaned all filters in the Vacuum and the dust collection bin. There are 3 fillers in the dust collection bin, 2 sponges and 1 HEPA filter. In the main vacuum there is one HEPA filter. So 4 in total. Dish liquid and a dish brush can be used to clean HEPA filters. Let them completely air dry before re-inserting them in the Vacuum. The cleaning can be around 30 minutes depends on how dirty your vacuum is. There are little buttons on the Vacuum and the empty bin to get to the filters. Its very easy to take each part apart to clean. Overall excellent product I will recommend it and will also stick with any version of the Shark clean and empty. I am extremely pleased with this product. 10/10

So far so good, though I will update if required. The good bits: Brilliant suction. Nice and compact if you have a smaller home. Nice and lightweight to manoeuvre. Performs very well on hard floors. Self emptying dust receptacle is great, especially if you don’t want to handle dead spiders! Bright headlights for darker areas. Great for animal hair. Not so good bits: The self emptying dock doesn’t always discharge everything, sometimes it needs a little shake. Not quite as good on carpeted areas, but still performs better than most. Charging lead isn’t that long. Run time not quite as long as it states, but still adequate. Emptying dock is noisy, not so good if you’re in a flat or terraced. Even though we’re detached, our neighbour claims to have heard it when we used it late one evening. Overall, bought this to replace a cordless Miele, and it (so far) has performed very well. Having recently moved to a larger house, it’s perfect for moving from room to room without the faff of plugging and unplugging. Not all of our rooms are used regularly, so just need a light going over most days. Husband has been doing some major building renovations, for which we’re using the Henry, but this is just perfect for everyday mess from the kids. Recommended if you can get it at the sale price.

This is an excellent product but any buyer should be aware of two things: 1. Despite all the hype, you will NOT be able to clean a bog-standard UK 3-bed semi in one go. I can get about 75% done on one charge. It might be JUST possible if your house has little or no carpets but mostly or completely laminate flooring. Otherwise, budget for a second battery - £90 from Shark, £30 and up for "compatibles" or (my choice) do the house in two separate goes. 2. The power cord is ridiculously short. I have an outlet in the under-stairs cupboard that is about 1.5m above the floor and it won't reach.

I am so happy with this product, the vacuum is of great quality, the battery lasts long enough to clean a 2 bedroom property and the self empty feature is superb (did not realise how useful it’d be until I had it!). It looks stylish and non-offensive to the eye. I love the light to help you see as you clean and the fact is adjusts the modes automatically as it senses different floor surfaces. I highly recommend. I am disabled and find this hoover much lighter than most others on the market which is a major plus.

Superb addition to the Shark family of vacuums. Very lightweight; ideal for stairs with the pet attachment. Has suction equivalent to a standard Shark cordless but is far more nimble. The slightly smaller width brush head means you can access hard to reach areas, under sofas etc with ease. The vacuum in upright use weighs only 2.7kg kg, less with the attachments. It glides with smooth efficiency, with an easy swivelling head which means you can pivot with less wrist strain. It auto detects whether you are on hard floors or carpet, providing extra suction power for carpets. You can boost this further but I haven't found the need to yet even with pets. When clipped back onto the base unit.... that's when the real magic happens....dust and debris is sucked into the storage chamber on the base. This means that the unit is lighter, always clean, and thus at top efficiency. It has two attachments (a pet brush style one and a nozzle). You empty the caddy in the base unit (it just clips off) about once a month. The small caddy opens at the bottom so you can just drop the debris straight down into the bin without it flying everywhere. There is nothing NOT to like about this development in Shark technology. Same suction, same anti hair wrap, easier to use because lighter. I've had Shark vacuums for years and I honestly thought they couldn't improve on what they offered. For anyone looking for a speedy, lightweight, efficient vacuum (perhaps if you have health or disability) you absolutely want to consider this. Unlike Dyson products, Shark offer a no quibble 5 year guarantee (replacement parts until it works or a new machine). Given that we are all trying to make products last longer and keep them out of landfill, Shark is the far more environmental buy. I first discovered this model in a holiday home. Came home and immediately bought one. Life is too short to not get pleasure out of vacuuming (even if you hate the job). Love, love, LOVE it!!!!

Brilliant hoover! So easy and light to use! And powerful! Love the emptying part too!

I have been using this Shark cordless vacuum for a little while now, and it’s been a real game changer for daily cleaning. The suction power is brilliant, it easily picks up pet hair, dust, and crumbs from both carpets and hard floors. It feels lightweight and easy to move around, and the LED headlights are surprisingly useful for spotting dirt in darker corners. What really stands out, though, is the auto-empty system. It makes cleaning up after cleaning so much easier, no mess, no dust flying everywhere, just one button and it empties itself. The anti-hair wrap feature actually works too, which is great since I’ve got pets and used to spend ages cutting tangled hair out of my old vacuum. Battery life is good for my needs, and I like that it comes with both a pet tool and crevice attachment for trickier spots.

At first this was really good ,but over time it's not picking up that good and the battery life is awful For the price of it I expected better ,I wouldn't recommend it at all The only good thing is it's lightweight and empties itself ,
