For the price, the Shark Anti Hair Wrap with Flexology is a terrific vacuum cleaner. The two-in-one motorised floor head means you don’t have to keep swapping floor heads to get the best performance, so it’s always ready to clear up mess, whatever surface you’re cleaning. If you can manage its weight and stiff handling on carpet, this Shark is an excellent buy. Measuring 260 millimeters in width, the vacuum cleaner is compact and maneuverable, making it convenient for reaching tight spaces and navigating around furniture. Its lightweight design adds to its ease of use. There’s no doubt that the Shark IZ251UKT is an attractive vacuum. We like the burgundy colour scheme, which looks great combined with the dark grey joints. It also feels well-built and durable, which is important for a premium vacuum. The Shark doesn’t come with an LCD screen to show remaining battery time, such as the Dyson V11 Absolute. This isn’t an essential feature, but it’s great to be able to see the remaining charge on the Dyson V11, especially as it updates depending on which mode or tool you’re using. Relying on three LED lights on the Shark means you’re always wondering how much battery you’ve really got left.

The flexology feature also allows you to fold the tube so that it can stand on its own. This way, you can store it easily without having to prop it up against a wall. The Shark Anti Hair Wrap IZ201UKT has an average price, but offers above-average results. It comes with an anti-hair tangle feature, has a flexible tube, is equipped with headlights and has a main floor nozzle that is suitable for both hard floors and carpets. The Dyson V11 Absolute is one of our top rated cordless vacuum cleaners. It’s an outstanding vacuum that provides strong all-round performance, although this comes at the cost of an eye-watering price tag. If you don’t need the mini motorised tool, then the IZ251UK could save you a bit of money. Shark IZ201UKT Vs Shark IZ251UKTThe washable filter feature ensures convenience and helps maintain the vacuum's performance over time. Powered by a battery, the Shark DuoClean IZ201UKT offers a runtime of approximately 40 minutes, allowing for extended cleaning sessions without the need for recharging. When it does require charging, the vacuum typically takes around 3.5 hours to reach its full capacity. All the buttons are conveniently placed, making it easy to switch modes or activate the boost function. We also like the comfortable handle. Before we compare the IZ251UKT to specific models, it’s worth mentioning that there are four versions of this vacuum. The IZ251UKT (the one in this review) is the top-end model, as it comes with both the pet tool and two batteries. Other models only have one battery and no pet tool ( IZ201UK), one battery and the motorised pet tool (IZ201UKT), or two batteries and no pet tool (IZ251UK.)

As with most Shark vacuum cleaners, the IZ251UKT has LED headlights. These help illuminate dust, dirt, and hair, particularly when cleaning under furniture. There’s also the option of switching to “hard floor” mode, which slows down the brush bar to prevent scattering. Other Tools and AccessoriesAt 4.1kg it’s fairly weighty for a cordless vacuum, with the weight split more or less evenly between the floor head and the vacuum engine, which is located up near the handle. As with other Shark Flexology vacuums, the extension wand has a bend in it, which serves two purposes. Release the clasp on the wand and you can clean under low-lying furniture without having to get on your hands and knees. The bright LED headlamps on the front help you see what you’re doing. Second, fold the wand all the way over and, cleverly, the vacuum supports its own weight, allowing it to be stored temporarily in a corner without you having to lean it against a wall.
