Shark bagless Anti-Hair Wrap with Powered Lift Away and True Pet PZ1000UKT Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Product Information

Ease of use—vacuuming shouldn’t be a chore, so we also assessed how intuitive the controls were, how easy it was to empty and what it was like to use over an extended period of time. Review:"At first glance, I thought this Shark vacuum looked a bit old-fashioned. Not only is not cordless, but the main vacuum is on wheels like something from the 90s, and the head looks massive. Unlike a 90s hoover though, it is bagless.

Value-for-money—did we feel each Shark vacuum was worth its price, or could you get a better/superior experience with a more affordable option? Even if you love your furry friends, it’s unlikely that you’re a fan of the hair and dander they leave behind. Which is why a specialist vac is a must. As well as the vacuum’s main brush featuring anti hair wrap (which removes hair as it cleans), you’ll find the same technology on its pet tool. This extra tool is great for removing embedded hair from soft furnishings, such as curtains and carpet, or your car. There’s also a crevice tool and multi surface tool but only one storage slot on-board the appliance. One thing we really loved, though, is this vacuum’s dust capacity – more than litre, meaning that even your hairiest household resident is no match for it. While raw suction performance is a good measure of performance, real-life results show how good a vacuum cleaner really is. To this end, I put the cleaner through my regular set of tests. First, I started with my carpet test, sprinkling a teaspoon of flour onto my test carpet. Shark also has a five-year warranty on most of its models, which may prove more attractive than the usual two-year guarantee offered by Dyson.

As the market leaders in the UK, you may be trying to work out whether you should opt for a Shark or Dyson vacuum cleaner. Dyson typically has vacuums with a larger dust capacity that are even lighter than Shark’s vacuum, but Shark has a much larger offering for vacuum cleaners, especially cordless vacuums, so you’re much more likely to find one that meets your specific needs. Both Dyson and Shark are well-matched when it comes to battery runtime and suction power so you can expect fantastic performance from either brand. Whether you live in a flat or need a supplementary vacuum for upstairs, the WandVac is a smart choice. This is because it’s ultra-slim and lightweight yet still delivers a powerful clean. Rather than a plug-in charger, the WandVac comes with a flat base for charging, which also has storage for one of its three accessories (multi-surface tool, crevice tool and a pet tool) and for charging the second battery, which is handy for continual cleaning. The battery itself sits in the handle, making it quite chunky to grip and use for prolonged periods.

Size, weight and design—was it lightweight enough to move around and did it look good in our home (even if it was in the storage cupboard? Below it sits a slider switch, which lets you change the cleaner’s mode: Hard Floor, Carpet and Deep Pile. This slider adjusts an air valve to reduce power as you move from hard floor up to deep-pile carpet. With the bin removed, you can see one of the washable filters, with a second HEPA filter located at the front of the vacuum. This, too, is easy to remove and clean. Lift-Away mode also makes it easier to get the tools where you want them. You can use accessories on the end of the wand, which provides far greater reach: I could easily clean around the ceiling in this mode. You can also remove the wand entirely, which is ideal for close-up jobs.However, once you start using the thing you realise it is super modern. The thing looks heavy, but it isn't at all. And while it has a cord, it is nine metres long, so you don't really notice it as it never restricts you. The wheels are very smooth too, so there are no problems with movement. Most importantly, suction power is high and it comes with a range of heads. As a cat owner, I can testify to the anti-hair wrap technology being true to its name. My favourite feature is the bending arm, which allows you to hoover under beds or sofas much more easily. If you have a bigger home, then the way to get it cleaner faster isn’t necessarily to up power – although that is useful. It’s to super-size everything, as seen with the brand-new Shark Anti Hair Wrap Upright Vacuum Cleaner XL with Powered Lift-Away & TruePet PZ1000UKT. This vacuum cleaner has an extra-large bin and a wide floor head to make short work of any job. The bin itself detaches from the vacuum’s main body, flipping open at both ends for easy emptying and cleaning. Pet hair performance was excellent, too, with the Shark PZ1000UKT able to easily remove all of the hair in a single pass.

Shark provides a crevice tool, brush and a mini pet tool in the box, which is excellent for stairs and for getting hair off sofas.

Again, the immense suction power gave me a perfect result; there was no mess left around the skirting.
