You will be able to see from the results that the filtration system is excellent. It perfectly highlights just how effective this vacuum cleaner is at allergy retention, and also that a fully sealed system does work to create a better atmosphere. What the AZ910UKT also features is the fully sealed filtration system that Shark is renowned for. What this means is that dust and allergens are pushed through the filter, and all the air that comes out of the machine has been forced through it and the exhaust only – leading to clean air. The pet tool is what really blew me away, and I don’t mean that as a compliment. The volume spiked to 88dB. It’s massively loud in a way that almost pierces your brain, though you do find yourself getting used to it after a while, and the plus side is that you don’t need to use the tool too much.

The Shark AZ910UKT is a flexible vacuum cleaner Shark AZ910UKT Design – Works hard to remove hair with its new and glitzy Anti Hair Wrap brush

During testing, the Shark performed very well on hard floors, including tiles, wooden flooring and lino. I've got the cordless anti-wrap as I have long hair and thought this would be the answer - I love it.” Rated by Mumsnetter mommybear1 Our verdict Mumsnet users recommend the Shark DuoClean Powered Lift-Away Anti Hair Wrap AZ910UK Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner. Technologies such as the Anti Hair Wrap and DuoClean, plus the hand Lift-Away feature, help to make this particular household chore just that bit easier, which can only be a good thing. How we chose our recommendations That said, Alison didn’t find the noise a particular issue and it didn’t worry her dogs either, one of which is a very nervous rescue. How easy is the Shark AZ910UK to keep clean? The other issue you might find with this vacuum cleaner is that the power button is on the Lift-Away, which sits just above the main floor head when attached to the wand – logical and necessary, mind you, but this will mean having to bend down to switch the machine on.

The Shark AZ950UKT is an XL version. It weighs nearly a kilogram more and the dirt capacity is twice the size at 1.65 litres. This makes it better for bigger homes, as you won’t need to stop and empty it as often.

The cord also needs to be wound manually when you’ve finished vacuuming (we would have preferred an automatic cord), but this was the case with all the upright vacuums we tested.

Bagged/bagless: Bagless | Capacity: 0.7 litres | Weight: 4.74kg | Run time: Up to 40 minutes | Charging time: 3.5 hours | Included tools: Crevice tool, upholstery tool. What we like We've got the Shark one with the pet hair attachment and it is brilliant. Really efficient.” Vetted by Mumsnet user pinneddownbytabbies Our verdict However, it is still worth reading our Shark repair and troubleshooting guide for general maintenance tips and access to the brush roll if it is ever needed.The accompanying dusting brush, crevice tool and upholstery brush mean you can complete any cleaning task you can possibly think of, whether that's floors, skirting boards, rugs, upholstery, ceilings, light fittings or curtain poles. You name it, you can reach it and clean it, which makes the Shark much more versatile than a lot of upright vacuum cleaners we tested.
