Review: Excellent performer - I have had Dyson vacuums for the past few years and bought the Shark as I was not completely satisfied with the performance or quality of my last Dyson. The Shark is not as funkily designed as the Dyson and is rather more functional in appearance. It arrived neatly packed in the box with simple assembly instructions. It all snaps together very easily and the buttons and features are all easy to use and identify. The Shark performs very well on both carpet and hard floors and switching between the two surfaces is just a matter of sliding the on/off switch up and down. All this does is activate/decativate the sweeper roller in the head but this, combined with the suction control function makes cleaning both surfaces a doddle. The cleaning head has bright LED lights that illuminate dirt and hairs on the floor so you can see what you are doing. Cleaning performance (I have used it twice now) appears to be very good and it easily lifts pet hair from carpets. As I have cats and dogs this is important and I would give the Shark a full 5 stars on this. The liftaway function for the stairs makes cleaning them a breeze and I have to say the powered pet brush works better than the equivalent accessory on my last Dyson. Again, the Shark comes apart and goes together again very easily. The vacuum is still very new and time will tell how robust it is but my first impressions are that it is well made, well designed and very functional. Ultimately, I want a vacuum cleaner that does the job it is supposed to do well. Being a piece of funky design is very much a secondary concern. The Shark gets my approval, as a result. Good value and good performance all round. if I have any criticisms, they are only slight... The cable could do with being a couple of metres longer and the dust collection "cup" could be a bit bigger. You have to empty it after every use. But it is nice to know that this is also necessary because the thing as sucked a lot of dust and pet hair up!
Review: Best hoover I’ve bought in 35 yrs - I’m one of those people who doesn’t really leave reviews. But I’m so impressed with this machine. I’ve been a Dyson owner for about 10 years. My 3 year old Dyson wasn’t performing as well, wasn’t picking up as well. And despite cleaning etc.. it didn’t improve. So I was on the hunt for a new hoover. I saw the reviews for this Shark hoover and liked the ‘lower than a Dyson price’. I’ve used this on the whole house already. Fantastic performance. We have a dog and it’s fab on pet hair. The LiftWay makes stairs SO easy compared to my old machine, as I was either lugging it up stairs or stretching the hose to a risky point. No such issue with this liftaway function. The Shark is great on carpet and hard floors, just a flick of the switch. Also it has suction control, maximum or minimum so if you have deep pile carpets and it’s a bit of a push to glide the hoover over, you can just adjust the suction. After cleaning my whole house, the brush bar had hair around it. What I also find so great about this machine is the brush bar comes away from the machine with one click of a button, making it incredibly easy to de tangle very quickly and easily. It’s also very simple to empty the dust cylinder. It’s lighter than my old Dyson, and takes up less room in storage. I have to say this is the best, most cleverly designed hoover I’ve ever used in my 35 years or so of buying hoovers. There are no downsides to this machine. Everything on it is easy to use and I didn’t find anything fiddly about it. I’d give it ten stars if I could. Don’t hesitate, this one’s a genuine winner of a hoover. Congrats to the designers and makers of this machine!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: length of handle - I am not very tall and the handle looks long - is it adjustable?**
A: You can remove the handle when using other tools but not when using full vacuum.  So no the handle is not adjustable or not that I am aware of.  I am only 5ft 5 and I don't have a problem.  It is a good vacuum, it does the stairs great as you can remove the cylinder and carry that on the stairs.  

My complaint was the brushes but after more investigations the brushes do rotate when switched on but only when you push the machine and they go round pretty quick.  Overall I am happy with my Shark vacuum.

Hope this helps.

Happy cleaning.

**Q: When you convert to the handheld option, do you have to bend over to clean the floors,the tube looks tiny in the photo where its being used on stairs?**
A: You  would only use the hand held option to clean stair and furniture and heights  why would you use it to clean floors

**Q: Hi, is the brush bar removable? and can it be replaced once worn? it is not possible on my shark nv340ukt. thx**
A: The brush bar can be removed. I would look online for a replacement brush.
Great hoover BTW

**Q: The brush only turns now and then and the headlights flash on and off! This can't be right! I have followed the trouble shooting? Any ideas?**
A: Brush and lights are on when carpet mode is on. If they are flashing sounds like fault with the switch.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Huge Improvement on the last Vacuum I had!
*by R***N on 8 September 2019*

Early days yet but quite impressed with this new vacuum cleaner. We had an ageing Dyson Slim model and decided to buy this one as was on a discount at Amazon ( £ 145). Pros: Well packed. Easy to assemble and set up in 5 mins. Its quite powerful and sucked up a lot of the residual dirt left behind after just used the Dyson. The suction provided by the attachments is quite strong and cleans the gaps between the steps and the tread areas quite well. We don't have a pet; however the attachment for it does the steps quite well. The dust collector is easy to empty. Relatively silent performance Moves around smoothly on middle level suction. The lift away concept is good as it allows you to use the vacuum nicely on the steps and when you are cleaning the car. The head-lights are a bit of a gimmick- but I guess if you are hoovering in the dark it gives you a different perspective! Cons: The adjustments you have to make ( switch) when you go from hard to carpet floors . This was automatic with my earlier model. It would have been nice to have a reassuring click when you fix on the attachments as they slide on and you assume they are fixed. You have to use hard floor setting for the attachments and adjust the vacuum intensity for different carpet lengths/ how dirty they are. It means you have to be quite actively involved with the process! The dust collector fills quickly so you need to empty more often! Overall I feel content with the purchase. I would recommend this vacuum highly especially if you are able to get it at a competitive price.
