Don’t Buy, waster of money
Bought this a few weeks ago, it is light weight, and ok for just little bits round the house. It is absolutely rubbish on carpets and bigger debris on the floor, we have just moved into a new house and have had to buy another Hoover to manage the carpet, and the bigger debris on the floor, as this Shark Hoover is not fit for purpose. Even when you switch it to the higher suction mode, it would suck up a spider I found that’s how poor the suction is. Would not recommend to buy.

Great product
This is fabulous and is great for my elderly dad, he just puts it back on its stand and it automatically empties and then we empty the bigger tank as needed. It's simple to use and its detection of dust fluff and dog hairs is automatic. Fabulous product

Overall great
This vacuum is amazing! It is lightweight and easy to use. The run time is good although I haven't used it to run it out to see how long it lasts. It's easy to empty and has the smart emptying mode.

Best cordless suction
This shark has the fiercest suction for a cordless vacuum. Love the sensors that detects when hoovering against the skirting so it focuses the suction to one side. Smoothly glides from carpet to hard floor. Runtime is really good and I manage to clean the house on one charge 3 bed 2 floor house. Love the docking facility which auto empties when cleaning has been completed. Impressed with this shark.

Spare battery chargers are available on the shark clean website for this model.
Great question, Nadia! The battery will stop charging automatically once full, and the system will shut down until the vacuum cleaner is removed from the dock.
The Auto Empty Dock automatically charges the vacuum cleaner whilst also emptying the dust cup into a sealed base after every clean.
Yes, you can buy a spare battery for IW4621UKT from Shark Parts and Accessories, listed as Shark Battery XBTR540DCEU.
Yes, this unit is intended to automatically empty itself when placed on the charging station. To initiate the auto evacuation process, ensure that you position the vacuum on the dock in a downward motion. Once properly attached, the auto evacuation cycle will begin and will last for 10 seconds. Once evacuation is complete, the vacuum will continue charging until it is removed from the dock. If your Detect Clean function is not operating as expected, do not hesitate to contact us at 0808 109 1166, and we will be more than happy to help.
No, this vacuum isn't self standing, but can be folded over when not in use to stop it from falling over.
