The Shark CV100UKT has a lighter weight than other bagless vacuum cleaners, meaning it is easier to move around and carry up the stairs. While an upright vacuum cleanerhas its advantages, cylinder models are extremely popular with our customers. Suitable for smaller homes, they're perfect for cleaning hard-to-reach areas. The long-reach nozzle makes light work of stairs and underneath furniture. You won't even have to stretch to reach the top of your curtains or other areas you wouldn't normally be able to get to. Shark is better known for its cordless and upright vacuum cleaners, but here we have something new: the Shark Bagless Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner CZ500UKT. Although the old cylinder design is less popular than it once was, the smaller bodies and more flexible heads that happily fit under most furniture make them popular with some (me included).

For the remaining flour, I passed through again at the top on Turbo, and at the bottom on Eco mode. As you can see, both modes did equally as well. The length of the hose enables you to get into hard-to-reach areas, and up numerous steps on the staircase without having to move the cylinder often. The wand even offers enough reach to clean around your ceilings. At just 260 x 900 x 1180mm, the Shark CZ500UKT is a small cylinder vacuum cleaner. It looks great, though, with plenty of curves and rose gold details around the body. It weighs 7.99kg, which makes it quite a heavy cleaner overall – but that weight is across the body, tools and wand. The main body weighs just 4kg, making it quite easy to lift. Experience Shark’s powerful suction, now available in a compact cylinder. Designed to adapt to your home. The Shark CV100UKT comes with 4 cleaning attachments - the main floor nozzle, crevice tool, brush tool and mini motorized tool. The main floor nozzle is equipped with a foot pedal and small wheels to help you maneuver it. The crevice tool is ideal for cleaning hard-to-reach areas thanks to its long and narrow nozzle, while the brush tool is great for delicate objects. The mini motorized tool is very useful for those who have pets, because it can efficiently remove the pet hairs from soft surfaces like the sofas, beds and car seats.

As with Shark’s most recent upright cleaners, such as the NZ850UKT, the DuoClean head here has a soft roller for hard floors and a brush for carpet, with a set of LEDs that light up the path you’re cleaning. Anti-Allergen Complete Seal captures and traps dust and allergens. Enjoy uninterrupted cleaning with a long 9m cable featuring automatic rewind. For more than floors, easily reach up high with the wand. The telescopic wand can be adjusted to suit your height. Comfortably clean stairs and sofas with 3 attachments including a Pet Tool – purposefully designed to remove embedded hair from upholstery.

Thanks to the long hose and wand, the floor head is super-easy to push around, with very little weight in your hand. And, since there’s no bulk on the wand, you can easily get the head under most bits of furniture. Thanks to Flexology, the wand hinges in the middle at the touch of a button, so you can vacuum under objects without having to bend down. The Shark CV100UKT only weighs 4 kg, which is very light compared to other bagless vacuum cleaners, like the Miele Blizzard CX1 Efficiency EcoLine SKCG3 which weighs 8.7 kg. Its light weight makes it easy to move around and carry up the stairs without straining your arms. The Shark CV100UKT is a mid-range vacuum cleaner that is equipped with great features, like the telescopic handle, foot pedal and useful cleaning attachments. Moving to the difficult carpet tile test, where I sprinkled flour right up to the skirting board, the CZ500UKT did well on Standard mode, although it left a small line of flour by the edge. Powerful. Lightweight. Agile. Dynamic Technology combines an extra-lightweight pod design, powerful suction and smooth glide wheels, delivering a powerful, comfortable clean throughout your whole home.Moving to Boost mode cleared all but a tiny amount of flour; nothing that the crevice tool couldn’t deal with. For detail cleaning, you pop off the floor head – using the foot-powerd eject button (again, there’s no bending down)–and use the wand and hose, or ditch the wand and go hose only. Sebo have been specialising in vacuum cleaners for over thirty years, so you know a product by them is one you can rely on. We only supply appliances that meet the highest quality, from the most trusted brands. For a reliable product that takes the strain out of cleaning your home, the Sebo K1 Pro vacuumis a popular choice. While raw performance provides an indication of cleaning power, my real-world tests show how well a cleaner actually does. I put the CZ500UKT through my standard tests, starting out with my carpet test. Sprinkling a teaspoon of flour onto the carpet, I ran the cleaner through on Standard power. As you can see, there’s a clean sweep with sharp edges right through the middle of the mess.

Designed to adapt to your home, instantly switch between Carpet and Hard Floor modes with a handy foot pedal. Enjoy uninterrupted cleaning power throughout your home with a long 9m cord with automatic rewind. Instead of the Flexology technology, that is present in the more expensive Shark vacuum cleaners, the CV100UKT is equipped with a telescopic handle that allows you to adjust its length to suit the area you want to clean. You shouldn’t have to lift the CZ500UKT too often, though, since you’ll mostly be pulling the body around with you on its four wheels, cleaning with the DuoClean floor head. The Shark CV100UKT is equipped with a pedal on the nozzle that allows you to switch from hard floor mode to carpet mode, making it a great choice for those who have different types of floors in their homes. Powerful. Lightweight. Agile. Dynamic Technology is an innovative combination of 3 elements, delivering a powerful, comfortable clean throughout your whole home. The pod design features 175 air watts of powerful suction* in an extra-lightweight 4kg design – so light it can easily be lifted to clean stairs. Agile smooth glide 360° wheels move in all directions, precisely following your every move. *Tested to IEC62885-2, CI 5.8, at the hose in high suction mode.Cylinder vacuum cleaners can be used on different surfaces, such as carpet, laminate, lino and hardwood flooring. And they're lightweight, so it's easy to move them from one room to the next. They're also quieter than their upright cousins. Brands You Can Trust If you are on a tight budget, the Shark CV100UKT might be an excellent option, because it has a low price but is still equipped with excellent features. I measure the raw performance of all vacuum cleaners at the hose, using a 2-inch opening. This lets me compare raw suction power in AirWatts. Here, the CZ500UKT was 92.26AW on Eco mode, 227.8AW on Standard and a huge 284.82AW on Max. That’s in line with upright cleaners. There’s Anti Hair Wrap technology, too, so the brush won’t become tangled with hair. It really does work, too, saving me from having to resort to using a pair of scissors to cut away long hair from the brush roller. For more than floors, comfortably clean stairs with the perfectly balanced pod and reach up high with the telescopic wand, adjusting the wand to suit your height.

Shark provides a crevice tool and brush – plus, for this model, a mini-motorised pet tool, which is great for stairs and furniture. One of the issues with cylinder vacuum cleaners is that they’re not very neat to store, with the hose flopping around. That’s the case here; an upright or cordless vacuum is a neater choice. However, Shark has done as well as it can. The Shark CV100UKT has a 9-meter cable, which might be inconvenient for those who live in large houses. More suitable options might be the AEG LX9-3-ÖKO which offers a 12-meter cable, and the Henry Numatic HVR200-11 which offers a 26.8 meters cable. The Shark CV100UKT is equipped with a mini motorized brush that will benefit those who have pets, because it will remove their hairs from sofas, beds and even car seats.
