Corded Upright Vacuum Cleaner,0.83L with Anti Hair Wrap Technology & DuoClean, Pet Model, Powered Lift-Away, LED Headlights, Anti-Allergen, 8m Cord, 750W, 3 Attachments, Navy/Orange, NZ801UKT

We've been due to buy a new hoover for quite some time and now that our daughter is strating to crawl around the house we wanted to make sure the floor is as clean as possible. We always had a cylider vacuum before but it's not so great in our flat as there is a long stair and split level too. After many days of research we realised that an upright hoover is probably better for our needs and determined to buy this model. The main reason for this brand was the "lift away" feature although other brands offer this feature as well. We originally wanted to go for the cheaper model - NV601UK - but this one was on such a sale that we couldn't say no. We don't have pets but would like a dog in the future so we figured if this is as good a hoover as they claim we may as well invest in the top of the range model and this should be still around when we get the dog. It's not like you can't use the pet hair remover tool until, it's perfectly good for human hair as well as dirt set deep in the carpet. Assembly was very easy and intuitive. Everything locks in with a satisfying pronounced click so you're never left wondering if the parts are connected properly. The design is not my favourite I find a Dyson much more elegant. This is not bad either but the shark logo is quite tacky, especially the plastic pretending to be chrome around the branding. Well it's a hoover and it's going to spend most if the days in the cupboard and will only be visible when someone is using it so we can live with it. One thing I particularly like is the fact that all the buttons can be used one handed. An example if you want to detach the wand, you press the detach wand button, it's easy, don't need two hands. It unlocks the wand that can be taken out one handed, no twisting and pulling. I was very surprised when I turned it on, it's so quiet. Our Dyson is of an older one and it's proper loud compared to this one. It's probably due to the new(ish) EU regulations that requires all manufacturers to keep the noise levels under 80 decibels. It's not easy to imagine loudness by decibels (for most of us anyways) so I'm just going to say it again, it's quiet! All the controls are on the handle -switch between hard floor and carpet and suction power slider - and I find these extremely easy to reach. Suction power slider should be adjusted to lower setting if you have a fluffy thick carpet and higher if you have a coarse carpet. If set correctly you should be able to move the hoover without much effort. One feature that I didn't see on competing brands is the headlights. I thought these as gimmick at first but they are surprisingly handy actually. They can illuminate under furnitures easily. I attached a photo because I wanted to show everyone how good this hoover is. Before trying this, I hoovered the living room with the old Dyson. Then immediately I hoover again with this. The result is on the photo. It's shocking to see how much more dust was in the carpet that the old one couldn't pick up. I'm not here to shame Dyson, this is a very old hoover compared to a brand new and I'm sure it would have been similar result with any new decent hoover. It just shows that old hoovers don't necessarily do a good job but we get use the loss of performance over the years. I found the lift away function as useful as they claim it. One press of a button and you can lift out the pod and carry on with the hoovering. This is extremely useful for hoovering under the bed or hoovering the stairs, ceiling. It basically eleminates the limited mobility problem of upright hoovers. The powered brush bars can be used in the lift away mode as this model has got the more advanced "powered lift away" function that allows this. The duo clean head is brilliant and picks up everything effortlessly. The anti hair wrap technology does its job seemingly, I didn't find any tangled hair on the brush rollers. It does say in the manual that even you see hair tangled on the roller, ignore it and it will make its ways eventually to the dust collector. Speaking of dust collector it's rather small, only 0.8 litre capacity so you will need to empty it often, it doesn't bother me especially because it's so easy to empty it. The cord is 8 metres long, there are other makes with longer and other makes with shorter lead, this sits right in the middle, I found it adequate. There is no cable retractor, but there are two hooks on the pod to reel the cable on it. The hoover is 6.5 kg total which I find lightweight and the pod itself is even lighter, it's really no effort to move around the house with it. The included tools are all good, just the standard stuff, nothing fancy, just what you need to clean the house, car etc. To sum it up, I'm extremely happy with this purchase. This hoover is not cheap, but you can save over £100 when on sale. It cleans extremely well, it's lightweight and mobile. It's got handy accessories and superior duoclean head that really makes a difference when hoovering. I'm sorry if the review got too long but there are so many things to say about and I wanted to cover everything. Highly recommended! Update after using it for 6 months: I still love the hoover no complaints from me. I don't know why some reviewers complain about the anti hair tangle function not working, mine works perfectly fine I never had to clean the brush. The only thing I noticed so far is how easily the paint gets scratched off of the head as you push the hoover alongside the skirting board. For me it's not a big deal, as I mentioned before it's an item that spends most of the time in the cupboard anyway, but for £300 you'd expect something more durable. It doesn't hinder the functionality though. Still recommended!

I’m embarrassed to now know how much dirt was in my carpet, but relieved to have this amazing vacuum cleaner in my life. It’s so easy to use, and finally with the anti hair wrap I don’t have to spend ages cutting my wife’s hair out of the bottom of the vacuum. The XL is definitely the way to go, we have a 4 bed house so it’s ideal. The suction is incredible and it’s really versatile piece of equipment having hard floors, carpet and rugs. Naturally the high suction mode gives you arm ache but what is to be expected! It handles cornering really well, easy to transport around the house - it doesn’t feel that heavy! And I love the detachment mode for staircases! Additional note - the light is a great function for those darker spots of the house - or when I can’t be bothered turning the light on Finally now have those ‘new house’ vacuuming streaks back on the carpet! Love it!!!

So we’ve had a number of major manufacturers vacuums over the last years all falling short of the hype with significantly higher prices. Our last vacuum anti tangle cat n dog was the biggest heap of expensive hard to manoeuvre junk that while sticking to the carpet and making me feel like I’d done 10 rounds with Mike Tyson vacuuming it clearly sucked up not a lot. This vacuum is brilliant, powerful, detachable in many ways, bagless and while quite heavy easily manoeuvrable. Embarrassingly so for our previous top end cat n dog vacuum we only cleaned our lounge 4 days ago. Had enough of it and bought this beauty. Having not been in the lounge since vacuuming the amount of dust / grit this thing sucked up the other had left behind was nothing short of a disgrace. Ok uprights are not for everyone but if unsure all I can say is this is possibly the best vacuum we’ve ever owned at half the price of other allegedly top end vacs - this seriously cleans up not only from the carpet but also IMO the competition.

Very nice and well made hoover. I have a dog an I find it hoovers all the hair nicely. The only reason why I didn’t give 5 stars is because it is on the heavy side, so if you want to use it on the stairs for example it might be a bit heavy to carry around. Other than that it has good suction and good storage capacity.

This is my second Shark vacuum cleaner and like the previous model I own it doesn’t disappoint. The Shark NZ801UKT ships with just enough accessories to enable you to tackle most jobs. A crevice tool has a brush attachment that slides up, and you get an upholstery brush, too. Both clip onto the body of the vacuum cleaner for easy storage. There’s storage onboard for the various accessories, you also get a Pet Power Brush, which is useful for smaller areas. It’s designed for picking up hair, although it works just as well on the stairs. It’s powered by airflow alone and is super-loud: I measured it at 91.9dB. It works wonders forcleaning stairs. The mini-brush is handy, but it’s loud! Personally I can put up with the noise though in order to get a thorough clean. That’s it in the box, and you miss out on the special edition’s car kit and under-furniture brush – although both can be bought separately if you want them. In both regular and Lift-Away modes, the 0.83l bin lifts out of the front. This exposes the washable filter, which should be cleaned regularly to keep the vacuum cleaner operating at its best. With the bin in hand, you can open the flap at the bottom to empty the dust. You can also open the top flap to clean out any stubborn dirt, although I found that I needed to give the cleaner a bit of a tap to get everything out. Emptying the ‘bin’ I find fairly easy to empty, although a sharp tap may be in order to get everything out Sucks up absolutely everything with ease. Exceptional performance on all surfaces Anti hair wrap tech stops the roller from getting clogged. It moves easily between hard floors and carpets The Shark NZ801UKT is powered by a 750W motor, which puts this cleaner at the top of the suction table. In fact, there are times when the cleaner feels as though the vacuum is stuck to the floor in use: that airflow vent certainly comes in handy for some jobs. To test performance, I put the vacuum cleaner through my usual set of tests, starting with the carpet test. Here, I spread a teaspoon of flour on the carpet right up to the edge of the skirting board. Giving the vacuum cleaner a single pass through on carpet mode, the Shark NZ801UKT picked up the majority of the mess, leaving just a trace amount right up against the skirting; nothing that a quick blast through with the crevice tool didn’t fix. Moving to the hard floor, I initially sprinkled a teaspoon of rice onto the floor. Giving the Shark NZ801UKT a single pass through the mess, every bit of rice was removed following a single sweep, with the vacuum set to the hard floor mode. This shows the power of the DuoClean head and how it copes with various floor surfaces. All in all for the very reasonable price point I am super impressed. It copes well with dirt, pet hair, crumbs, etc with ease and leaves hard flooring merely needing a mop over to ensure a thorough clean.

Truly an awesome vacuum. I thought i would never write a review about a vacuum. But this is worth it. We disgusted ourselves at how dirty our home was once we had passed this Shark around a room. The room had just been vacuumed by Henry. OMG. The difference. Buy one. great suction great maneuverability, really easy to use and empty, really long cord length, all very intuitive. Brilliant is the only word

Simply superb vacuum cleaner. Used for the first time on a dog haired, dusty old rug and it has actually cleaned it as if we had used a carpet shampoo, amazing. Easy to put together, each part is packed separately and although it's shape is not streamlined or fancy it is extremely well designed and is aligned to ease of use and super capabilities.

I'm really pleased with this! I replaced my trusty 2006 Dyson Animal with it, and I now realise that I've been missing out. It literally sucks the carpet up as you hoover, and the amount of dust it collects is impressive. It's very lightweight and easy to carry around. It feels very small in comparison to my old Dyson, comically so, but that is why it's much lighter I suppose. I love the light on the front, and the ease with which the handle sucking piece comes off is great. I haven't got to grips with carrying around the main compartment after you detach it, but I've figured that maybe I just don't need that function. The little motorised head that came with it is also fab; it's great for the stairs and sofas. The green and yellow colour scheme looks retro and I wasn't sure if I'd like it, but it's fine. All in all, a great little vacuum!

shark anti-hair wrap plus..I originally bought a cable less version and found it worked well but took to long to recharge so I gave it to my daughter and ordered the plug in..The only problem I had was that when it arrived in Germany it had a plug that only worked in GB - ordered an adapter and I couldn't be happier... My carpets are spotless and always "hair-free", which is a major plus as I have long hair that was always tangled in my old vacuum..

This is an excellent vacuum! All the different ways to use it are extremely well thought out and allows me to get into any and every nook and cranny.

ممتازه

Brilliant vacuum cleaner. We replaced an older Dyson which had served us well, the amount of additional dirt and debris that came out of the carpet on 1st use was embarrassing. Would highly recommend

Pour moi, il n'y a pas mieux. Je travaille avec depuis plusieurs années maintenant et je n'ai absolument rien a dire. Il allie parfaitement la portabilité et la praticité d'un aspirateur sur batterie avec les avantages d'un aspirateur filaire, pas de limite de temps d'utilisation et puissance d'aspiration toujours maximale. mais comme la perfection absolue n'existe pas, j'aurais tout de même à noter un petit bémol : la canne est un point faible indéniable sur ce modèle. Le câblage permettant les fonctions de la buse d'aspiration s'abîme dans le temps et vous risquez de perdre certaines fonctions, dans mon cas principalement le mode carpet. Heureusement les pièces détachées sont achetables sur le site du fabricant.
