I also think the power button needs to be held just a half second too long – if you’re used to the instant response of a touch screen phone or tablet, having to hold the button down feels unnatural.

For the likes of stairs, you can go into Lift-Away mode, so that you don’t have to carry around the floor head, too. Flexology wand: Clean under furniture with ease thanks to this clever design - you can bend the wand up to 90 degrees and vacuum as normal. Although this lifted every bit of dirt when we used it, it did need a bit of cleaning afterwards as rather than being sucked into the machine, quite a bit of dirt stayed put on the brush itself. When you’re done, it packs away to an easily storable size and, because the battery is removable (unlike a Dyson), it doesn’t need to be located near a plug socket. The model reviewed here comes with Shark’s TruePet attachment (the T in the name) – a mini motorised head for use in the vacuum’s handheld mode.Overall, this is a superb performance, surpassing the abilities of the more expensive Dyson models, including the V15 Detect and the V11 Outsize.

There are three power modes to choose from (Eco, Standard and Boost), plus you can choose between carpet and hard floor modes, which adjust the speed of the floor head.The device is just as happy on hardwood and carpeted floors and you get a motorised pet tool that will really dislodge every bit of debris. A pretty standard line-up with a brush tool and nozzle, but the dusting head is a bit different and takes the backache out of cleaning across the top of units or curtains. Battery life With two batteries you can get up to two hours of cleaning – more than enough for your average home.
