SharkStratos Corded Upright Vacuum Cleaner 1.3L Pet Pro with Anti Hair Wrap Plus, Anti-Odour Technology, Powered Lift-Away, Anti-Allergen Complete Seal, 3 Attachments, 8m Cord, Rose Gold NZ860UKT

What a great machine. It is well balanced, doesn't fall over and sucks up bits really well. It's quite heavy but moves well and is easy to use. It is far better than other vacuum cleaners we have had. The attachments work well and it is easy to empty. We live in a bungalow. I think it may be heavy to carry upstairs but in terms of its efficiency I think it's a good option.

We had to replace the Dyson we had downstairs, which is the main hoover in the house. and over the years the dyson's have been getting smaller and smaller collection bins, and stiffled on innovation - yet still command the platinum/premiem price.So as we had already has a Shark cordless stick vacume for upstairs - which we have had for a couple of years and been impressed (compared the the cordless stick dyson we used to have) it was a no brainer on what brand we were going to look out for.Out wish list was:Cabled - for maximum powerLarger Dust Collection BinUpright (getting older, so less bending please)Pet AttachementsHEPA for Air QualityWe have 2 medium dogs. we hoover 3 times A week. We ordered the Shark Stratos +Pet Unit and this arrived within a few days. Well packaged thoughout.The unit was very easy to put to gether, very minimal assembly. The hoover is not heavy at all (concerned from some reviews we had read). what we did find was that on deep pile carpet, you need to adjust the suction/floor type button - then the unit is easy to push and pull across the floor without issue. the head is not as movable as it's cordless counterpart, but does the job just fine.We love the powered lift away so the sairs and the likes are easy peasy. Only downside, is the darned powerlead, is on the right hand side, which means it's forever getting in the way (i'm right handed). also when placing the powered liftaway unit baxck together on the main unit, the suction hose and power cables are effectivly on different sides, meaning it's a two handed operation to put back together - that seems like a bit of a design oversight, surly putting the cables and suction hoses on the same side would have made that a bit easier.Before we used the Shark, We twice hoovered the lounge, and our dyson did a (ish) job, the dust bin was full (althoug it';s small) and the room looked kinda cleak - some pet hair left on the carpet where the dyson had not been man enough to collect (even with a 3 month old brush bar replacement (OEM).Rolled out the shiney new Shark Stratos, so.... lugged in, turned on, floor selector set to Low Pile Carpet, and away we go, hoovering for approx 5mins. dust Bin Full, and we mean FULL.. the dust collected and pet hair was amazing... Considering the room had just been hoovered before hand we were absoluty gobsmaked at howmuch had been sucked up by the shark.Emptied the dust bin (which is super easy on this unit) and hoovered again, still picked up about a 3rd of the dust bin, in mainly dust, very litted pet hair on the second run.We think this just goes to show how good this hoover is at picking up dust and everything else. Such a great unit and the carpet at the end of the hoovering looks great, the pile is lifted (something which doesn't always happen on 5 year old carpet) and the carpet looked fresher than when we have used a rug doctor on it in the past.This is a fantastic hoover, we'll never purchase another Dyson now, Shark Alll the way for us...+Pet Brush is great at getting pet hairs of dopg blankets, and the bottom of the sofa's+it looks cool+Great suction and good sized dust collection bin+power liftaway is great, moderate weight but easy to use+easy to use+the odur control is great, doesn't smell at all, always seems fresh and clean-Power cable on seperat eside form suction hose - it's just really awkward :-(-LED's on floor unit are more decorative, than functional (needed a few more and better angling/positioning).You will not be dissapointed, we also got one for parentWell recommended

I’ve always had Dyson Animal vacs for dog hair. Problem was, long hair wrapped around roller which always had to be cut off. This SHARK is a game changer!! I have long hair as well as a dog. This vac cuts the hair as it vacs so it doesn’t wrap around the roller AT ALL! It’s brilliant! It’s heavy but I look at it as a good work out. It’s easy to take apart, empty the container and use the hose. The vac head is small but great for getting in to nooks. The vac stem pivots, which makes it easy to go around furniture etc. The power is incredible! It makes me realise how poor a job my old vac did. The dirt that this vac picked up within a few minutes was shocking. It’s great for taking the main body off and carrying it to do the stairs, car etc. The collection bin is smaller than my old one but it’s so simple to empty, it’s not an issue. The little light is actually useful for dark corners. I actually look forward to vacuuming with this vac. I also love the 3 different floor settings, hard floor, carpet or rug. Very useful. I really wish I bought one years ago and will stick with Shark from now on. I’m very impressed.

I've only used it once so far, it's noticeably heavier than my previous lift away shark. If you have a bad back or limited mobility I'd keep that in mind. It has great suction and 3 modes, hard floor, capers and deep pile. It's quieter than my last vaccum. The only negative so far is the weight limits ease of use.

Oh my goodness, what have we been hoovering our floors with all our lives? Easily set up, we trucked this Shark round the apartment, and it's made it look like we've never hoovered before! May take a tiny bit of practice to navigate it more efficiently, but this has got to be the best vacuum cleaner we've ever had. Also, Kudos to the company for the recyclable packaging. And, no, I don't work for Shark! A+++

The product was sold as having some serious cosmetic defect, but it's hard to see the small scratches so a great bargain. It doesn't have the manual, but it is available online, so it's no problem. This is a great vacuum cleaner. It's a little heavy and clumsy but the suction and cleaning abilities are on par with the much more expensive Miele I had... and no bag costs to add on, what's not to love?

pros:-light, well made, easy to use and push, works well, nice long mains cable.con’s:-not many attachmentswill post an update after using it for a couple of months

i bought this a while ago, but never review products after a day or 2, i always give them a work out 1st. This is simply the best hoover i have ever had, the suction and cleaning power of it is unmatched. It has great features in terms of accessories that come with it and the fact you can detach the main unit from the handle means its a dream hoover for staircases. Easy to empty, and the different levels of suction/ability for the hoover eg-hard floors, deep pile carpet, low pile carpet etc is just brilliant. Robust, effective, overall a great purchase and worth the money
