Great vacuum cleaner with strong suction

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I already own a shark vacuum and my expectations were high for this product. I am happy to say I have not been disappointed. Communication regarding delivery was timely and correct and the product came well packaged. Not only does the vacuum look great but it also does a fantastic job. As a pet owner, hairs are a constant challenge but this was no issue for this device. In fact, not only did it collect the hairs but it also pulled out a large amount of dust from my carpets that my previous shark was missing. The suction on it is extremely strong and way better than any other vacuum i have had. In terms of practicality, it is fairly light to use, very quick to assemble and easy to switch between carpets and hard floors and I particularly like the different levels of suction available. I am struggling to find any negatives - sometimes there is a slight squeak when pulling the device back on carpets. This might be related to my device only but in all honesty doesn't bother me. I am really pleased with the cleaner and it is everything I would want in a device. Well done Shark!

A Powerful ,Versatile Vacuum for Busy Family Home

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I noticed when I unboxed the vacuum was its beautiful red plum colour. It immediately stood out and looked much more premium than I expected. Assembly was very straightforward, with all the parts clicking easily into place. We have a fairly large house with young children, pets, and a mixture of flooring, including wood, vinyl, thick carpet, and low-pile carpet. When choosing a vacuum, the key things I look for are weight, suction power, cord length, manoeuvrability, floor compatibility, pet hair performance, handling of long hair, filtration for allergies, and noise level. As far as this vacuum goes, it ticks every box. I have owned it for just over a week and have tested it on all of our floor types, as well as on the stairs and for high-level cleaning. Previously, I had only used cordless vacuums because I was concerned that a corded vacuum would feel restrictive. However, I always felt that cordless models lacked suction power. This vacuum definitely doesn't have that problem. The suction is excellent and, while powerful, it doesn't feel difficult to control. In fact, it almost feels as though it guides itself across the floor. One of the biggest advantages is the ability to remove the main pod. This makes it much easier to carry on stairs and reach high, awkward areas around the house with the included Duster Crevice Tool. The cord length is also more than adequate for our Victorian hallway and staircase. Despite my initial concerns about moving to a corded model, I have not felt restricted at all. The generous cord length allows me to clean large areas without constantly searching for another socket or having to stop and restart my cleaning routine. The vacuum is very easy to manoeuvre around furniture and corners, and with the quick switch of a button I can move between different floor types without having to change heads. This saves a significant amount of time when cleaning. Pet hair and long hair wrapped around the brush roller have always been a frustration for me, but this is no longer an issue with the PowerFins HairPro technology. It is also much quieter than I expected, which is a welcome bonus. Finally, the bin is very easy to empty, the filtration is excellent, and the filters can be removed easily for cleaning. As a household that suffers from allergies, we noticed a real difference. I was genuinely surprised by how much dirt and dust the vacuum collected from our hallway and stairs, especially considering I vacuum those high-traffic areas almost every day. It really highlighted just how effective the suction and filtration system are. The LED headlights are another feature I didn't realise I would appreciate so much. They make it much easier to spot dust and debris in darker areas and ensure that nothing is missed during cleaning. The only minor drawback I have noticed is that it is slightly heavier than the cordless vacuums I have used previously. However, this is something I expected from a corded model, and the additional weight is more than justified by the excellent suction power and overall cleaning performance. Overall, I am extremely impressed with this vacuum and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful, versatile, and easy-to-use cleaner, especially in a busy household with children, pets, and a variety of floor surfaces. It combines the convenience and manoeuvrability I was looking for with the powerful suction that I felt was missing from my previous cordless vacuums. For us, it has been an excellent addition to our home.

The most powerful corded vacuum I've ever owned

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hoover arrived and was so easy to assemble from the box so could use it instantly. Straight away I noticed how easy it was to maneuver. The suction power was noticeable straight away and with the high low selection button so easy to adjust while using it by the design of the handle. My daughter has very long hair and after use I noticed the roller had no hair wrapped around it as all my past hoover had. After a week of use there's still no hair wrapped on the roller. The filtration system is second to none. So east to use on the stairs with its detachable cylinder and light enough to be not be hard work. The dust collection cylinder is so easy to empty compared to others I have had before

Superb performance!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got this and honestly after a couple of uses I’m so happy to report this genuinely works so well - literally professional level cleaning with the single swipe being sufficient to deep clean and get rid of every tiny dust particle. The anti hair wrap actually works and I can report that no hair was tangled in this (my biggest concern since my hair sheds a lot!) . Also, the colour is so stunning and the cord is massive (can easily go from one corner of the house to another. The filter/dust collector is massive which means I don’t need to keep cleaning it after every other use (saves so much time). Overall, would not think twice before getting this!

Surprisingly powerful for such a compact vacuum

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleasantly surprised by this vacuum cleaner from the moment I took it out of the box. Setting it up was incredibly straightforward, with everything clicking together securely and giving a reassuring impression of quality. I barely needed the instructions at all. The main body of the vacuum is actually smaller than I expected, which is a real advantage when it comes to storing and manoeuvring it around the house. Despite its compact size, it has a surprisingly large dirt collector, so you don't feel like you're constantly having to empty it. The power cable is also impressively long, giving plenty of freedom to move around without constantly changing sockets. When you're finished, it wraps away neatly, and there's a useful hook to keep the cable out of the way while you're actually using the vacuum. Where this vacuum really surprised me, though, is the suction power. It's a relatively lightweight machine, so I wasn't expecting it to be particularly powerful, but it has much more suction than its size would suggest. On our carpets, I didn't even need to use the maximum power setting, yet it still picked up dust, fibres and dirt that our previous vacuum had clearly left behind. Emptying the dirt collector is another simple and well-designed feature. It's quick, clean and doesn't involve wrestling with the machine or getting your hands dirty. The cleverest feature for me is the Lift-Away function. Being able to detach the main vacuum section makes it much easier to clean the stairs, get into awkward areas and even use it for cleaning the car. It turns what is already a compact vacuum into something much more versatile. Overall, I'm genuinely impressed. It's light, easy to use, easy to store and, most importantly, considerably more powerful than I expected from such a small machine. If you're looking for a vacuum that doesn't feel like a heavy piece of equipment but still delivers strong cleaning performance, this is definitely worth considering. The combination of size, suction power and the Lift-Away function makes it a very capable all-rounder.

Excellent suction and easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had this to trial and was overwhelmed at how good the suction was. It was so easy to set up and use. It took just minutes to set it up. It was amazed at how much dirt came up from the carpet. The switching from carpet to hard floor was seamless and very easy. I could see excellent results on the hard floor and the carpet. The anti hair wrap works very well too. The accessories are great. You can also lift it to use it for the stairs. The filtration system is very good and it is so easy to clean too. After using this everything looked very crisp and clean.

Brilliant Suction and Easy to Use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Shark Hoover Review Very impressed with this hoover! It has replaced my old Shark cordless, and the difference in suction is really noticeable. The suction on this model is brilliant, especially with the increased suction function, which is great when you want to give your carpets a more thorough clean. I don’t use the full suction setting every time I hoover as it can feel like a bit of a workout, but it’s definitely worth using when needed! Even though my carpets didn’t look particularly dirty beforehand, I was honestly quite shocked at how much dirt this hoover picked up. I’ve also found it really easy to manoeuvre around and get underneath tables and furniture, and the dust container is quick and easy to empty. Overall, I’m really pleased with it and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a hoover with really good suction.

Manoeuvrability, powerful and ease of use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unfortunately this machine has caused arguments in the house between me and my wife as we both want to use it to do the vacuuming. The Rotator vacuum has exceptional manoeuvrability due the swivel head and does not take much effort to change direction. The ability to change suction power, quickly and easily is a game changer. Suction power is amazing, I had actually vacuumed the day before it arrived and I was amazed by how much it still collected . The bin size is excellent and extremely clean and easy process to empty it. We love the lift-away function which makes stair and up high cleaning so simple and stressless. The overall design is sturdy yet lightweight and it is relatively compact with cable neatly coiled and tools stored safely, the light is a gamechanger when vacuuming in any darkened areas. Overall I would highly recommend this product.
