The 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. In terms of suction it’s hard to compare two vacuums outside of a lab. You get a range of three suction options with the Shark rather than the two of the Dyson, but does this equate to better cleaning? Who knows?! We will say we never felt like either vacuum let us down in testing, so we don’t think you’ll go too far wrong either way in terms of performance. While that’s not a huge problem in the short term, eventually you have to take out a pair of scissors or a knife to cut free your vacuuming head, which is up there with unclogging a plug hole in terms of undesirable cleaning tasks. SHARK'S latest vacuum cleaners come with a revolutionary technology that promises to free you from tangled hair clogging up your vacuum cleaner. After a few days testing this out in a fairly hairy household, we’ve found the new technology works well and it’s saved us having to break out the scissors ever since.

The Shark IZ201UK comes with three attachments as standard, one of which you can use to vacuum your furniture Credit: SHARK How does it compare to a Dyson? If you’ve used a cordless vacuum before, you might have noticed that you can end up pushing around larger clumps of dirt rather than vacuuming them up. But, if weight and portability (or appearance) is your primary concern we’d probably opt for a Dyson V8 Animal. One final point in the Dyson’s favour is that it doesn’t rely on a filter that you have to clean (albeit, very infrequently) which the Shark does. The Shark DuoClean IZ201UKT is a dry vacuum cleaner designed for cleaning bare and hard floors. Equipped with a filtration system, it effectively traps dust and allergens, making it suitable for people with allergies. The vacuum utilizes a cyclonic/filtering dirt separating method, eliminating the need for bags and allowing for easy disposal of collected dirt. With a dirt capacity of 0.4 liters, it requires regular emptying during use.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. Product dimensions: (full size) H:118 x W:26 x D:24.5cm and 4.1kg (handheld) H:42 x W:5.5 x D:6 and 1.7kg.

While we won’t claim that there’s zero hairs wrapped around the roller, there are far, far fewer than before and they’re much easier to remove.

Most people who’ve owned a cordless vacuum cleaner with a dust roller have probably run into the same problem at one time or another: after a few hours of cleaning, the roller is wrapped tightly with hair. Instead of rolling tighter and tighter around your roller, Shark’s new vacuum cleaners use technological wizardry to gather hair at the base of the vacuum which is eventually drawn up the nozzle and into the cylinder without you having to get involved at all. We’ve used the V8 and we think the Shark is a bit more versatile. The anti hair wrap technology is something Dyson has yet to match. Plus the open face on the Shark ensures you push dirt around the room less than the Dyson.
