Great length as its electric, a bit tricky but easy to use once you get a hang of it, great value and very portable. Compatible for both hard floor and carpet, removes dust really well

Fantastic hoover. Has a really strong suction. Can’t believe I didn’t buy one sooner. It puts my old one to shame. With 3 cats this is perfect to pick up their fur. Long cord length and looks retro.

This is my second Shark vacuum cleaner and like the previous model I own it doesn’t disappoint. The Shark NZ801UKT ships with just enough accessories to enable you to tackle most jobs. A crevice tool has a brush attachment that slides up, and you get an upholstery brush, too. Both clip onto the body of the vacuum cleaner for easy storage. There’s storage onboard for the various accessories, you also get a Pet Power Brush, which is useful for smaller areas. It’s designed for picking up hair, although it works just as well on the stairs. It’s powered by airflow alone and is super-loud: I measured it at 91.9dB. It works wonders forcleaning stairs. The mini-brush is handy, but it’s loud! Personally I can put up with the noise though in order to get a thorough clean. That’s it in the box, and you miss out on the special edition’s car kit and under-furniture brush – although both can be bought separately if you want them. In both regular and Lift-Away modes, the 0.83l bin lifts out of the front. This exposes the washable filter, which should be cleaned regularly to keep the vacuum cleaner operating at its best. With the bin in hand, you can open the flap at the bottom to empty the dust. You can also open the top flap to clean out any stubborn dirt, although I found that I needed to give the cleaner a bit of a tap to get everything out. Emptying the ‘bin’ I find fairly easy to empty, although a sharp tap may be in order to get everything out Sucks up absolutely everything with ease. Exceptional performance on all surfaces Anti hair wrap tech stops the roller from getting clogged. It moves easily between hard floors and carpets The Shark NZ801UKT is powered by a 750W motor, which puts this cleaner at the top of the suction table. In fact, there are times when the cleaner feels as though the vacuum is stuck to the floor in use: that airflow vent certainly comes in handy for some jobs. To test performance, I put the vacuum cleaner through my usual set of tests, starting with the carpet test. Here, I spread a teaspoon of flour on the carpet right up to the edge of the skirting board. Giving the vacuum cleaner a single pass through on carpet mode, the Shark NZ801UKT picked up the majority of the mess, leaving just a trace amount right up against the skirting; nothing that a quick blast through with the crevice tool didn’t fix. Moving to the hard floor, I initially sprinkled a teaspoon of rice onto the floor. Giving the Shark NZ801UKT a single pass through the mess, every bit of rice was removed following a single sweep, with the vacuum set to the hard floor mode. This shows the power of the DuoClean head and how it copes with various floor surfaces. All in all for the very reasonable price point I am super impressed. It copes well with dirt, pet hair, crumbs, etc with ease and leaves hard flooring merely needing a mop over to ensure a thorough clean.

A quick, honest, constructive review. Start with the bad stuff BUT I do whole heartedly recommend this vacuum. Cons - - 8 meter cable length is absurdly small. Realistically you have to plug your vacuum into a new socket in each room. Even the £80ish Vax Stretch can give you a 13 meter power cable. This has an RRP of £300. Inexcusable. - Suction slider too loose. It comes with different settings for off, hard floor and carpet with a chunky button which I love. The suction however is controlled by a slider on the neck of the vacuum that slams itself shut constantly. This is because of the high suction level forcing it closed INCREASING the already top notch suction. It's literally drowning in success but annoying when you need less suction power to do the job. - Tool storage The included tools don't have a good spot to be attached. There is a slot on both the left and right side but the tools fit very poorly and will pop off in normal usage. The turbine tool fits best on the left side but the crevice tool is very long and gets in the way of the power cord on the right side. Very clearly an afterthought which is disappointing because of just how brilliant this vacuum is. Pros - - This thing sucks. Literally. It's not hyperbole when people write this vacuum leaves carpets looking almost new. It gets in there and lifts EVERYTHING. Even nearly ripped up a carpet strip at my front door. - Good tools The pet turbine tool is actually well designed unlike other brands. It's symmetrical, bristles aren't too soft so it actually picks things up and it's fast. Very loud in operation but does the job. Huge fan of using it on my stairs. Make sure you put the vacuum in hard floor mode when using the turbine tool otherwise it will sound like a plane taking off in your hands! (It's too powerful). Crevice tool is a crevice tool. Can't mess that up. - Lift away / Handheld diversity This thing is the definition of modular. You have the tools mentioned above and a choice of short or long handheld. It's beautifully versatile especially when you bring in those things I mentioned earlier such as suction control. Handheld mode is flawless. Conclusion - Nearly perfect vacuum with 3 penny pinched design flaws. A more sturdy suction controller and a longer power cable would have cost very little per unit and propelled this vacuum to excellence. It's just very very VERY good. Not perfect.

So we’ve had a number of major manufacturers vacuums over the last years all falling short of the hype with significantly higher prices. Our last vacuum anti tangle cat n dog was the biggest heap of expensive hard to manoeuvre junk that while sticking to the carpet and making me feel like I’d done 10 rounds with Mike Tyson vacuuming it clearly sucked up not a lot. This vacuum is brilliant, powerful, detachable in many ways, bagless and while quite heavy easily manoeuvrable. Embarrassingly so for our previous top end cat n dog vacuum we only cleaned our lounge 4 days ago. Had enough of it and bought this beauty. Having not been in the lounge since vacuuming the amount of dust / grit this thing sucked up the other had left behind was nothing short of a disgrace. Ok uprights are not for everyone but if unsure all I can say is this is possibly the best vacuum we’ve ever owned at half the price of other allegedly top end vacs - this seriously cleans up not only from the carpet but also IMO the competition.

We've been due to buy a new hoover for quite some time and now that our daughter is strating to crawl around the house we wanted to make sure the floor is as clean as possible. We always had a cylider vacuum before but it's not so great in our flat as there is a long stair and split level too. After many days of research we realised that an upright hoover is probably better for our needs and determined to buy this model. The main reason for this brand was the "lift away" feature although other brands offer this feature as well. We originally wanted to go for the cheaper model - NV601UK - but this one was on such a sale that we couldn't say no. We don't have pets but would like a dog in the future so we figured if this is as good a hoover as they claim we may as well invest in the top of the range model and this should be still around when we get the dog. It's not like you can't use the pet hair remover tool until, it's perfectly good for human hair as well as dirt set deep in the carpet. Assembly was very easy and intuitive. Everything locks in with a satisfying pronounced click so you're never left wondering if the parts are connected properly. The design is not my favourite I find a Dyson much more elegant. This is not bad either but the shark logo is quite tacky, especially the plastic pretending to be chrome around the branding. Well it's a hoover and it's going to spend most if the days in the cupboard and will only be visible when someone is using it so we can live with it. One thing I particularly like is the fact that all the buttons can be used one handed. An example if you want to detach the wand, you press the detach wand button, it's easy, don't need two hands. It unlocks the wand that can be taken out one handed, no twisting and pulling. I was very surprised when I turned it on, it's so quiet. Our Dyson is of an older one and it's proper loud compared to this one. It's probably due to the new(ish) EU regulations that requires all manufacturers to keep the noise levels under 80 decibels. It's not easy to imagine loudness by decibels (for most of us anyways) so I'm just going to say it again, it's quiet! All the controls are on the handle -switch between hard floor and carpet and suction power slider - and I find these extremely easy to reach. Suction power slider should be adjusted to lower setting if you have a fluffy thick carpet and higher if you have a coarse carpet. If set correctly you should be able to move the hoover without much effort. One feature that I didn't see on competing brands is the headlights. I thought these as gimmick at first but they are surprisingly handy actually. They can illuminate under furnitures easily. I attached a photo because I wanted to show everyone how good this hoover is. Before trying this, I hoovered the living room with the old Dyson. Then immediately I hoover again with this. The result is on the photo. It's shocking to see how much more dust was in the carpet that the old one couldn't pick up. I'm not here to shame Dyson, this is a very old hoover compared to a brand new and I'm sure it would have been similar result with any new decent hoover. It just shows that old hoovers don't necessarily do a good job but we get use the loss of performance over the years. I found the lift away function as useful as they claim it. One press of a button and you can lift out the pod and carry on with the hoovering. This is extremely useful for hoovering under the bed or hoovering the stairs, ceiling. It basically eleminates the limited mobility problem of upright hoovers. The powered brush bars can be used in the lift away mode as this model has got the more advanced "powered lift away" function that allows this. The duo clean head is brilliant and picks up everything effortlessly. The anti hair wrap technology does its job seemingly, I didn't find any tangled hair on the brush rollers. It does say in the manual that even you see hair tangled on the roller, ignore it and it will make its ways eventually to the dust collector. Speaking of dust collector it's rather small, only 0.8 litre capacity so you will need to empty it often, it doesn't bother me especially because it's so easy to empty it. The cord is 8 metres long, there are other makes with longer and other makes with shorter lead, this sits right in the middle, I found it adequate. There is no cable retractor, but there are two hooks on the pod to reel the cable on it. The hoover is 6.5 kg total which I find lightweight and the pod itself is even lighter, it's really no effort to move around the house with it. The included tools are all good, just the standard stuff, nothing fancy, just what you need to clean the house, car etc. To sum it up, I'm extremely happy with this purchase. This hoover is not cheap, but you can save over £100 when on sale. It cleans extremely well, it's lightweight and mobile. It's got handy accessories and superior duoclean head that really makes a difference when hoovering. I'm sorry if the review got too long but there are so many things to say about and I wanted to cover everything. Highly recommended! Update after using it for 6 months: I still love the hoover no complaints from me. I don't know why some reviewers complain about the anti hair tangle function not working, mine works perfectly fine I never had to clean the brush. The only thing I noticed so far is how easily the paint gets scratched off of the head as you push the hoover alongside the skirting board. For me it's not a big deal, as I mentioned before it's an item that spends most of the time in the cupboard anyway, but for £300 you'd expect something more durable. It doesn't hinder the functionality though. Still recommended!

It's an amazing buy, and the price is right. Hassle free, light & quick when changing accessories, nice long chord, quick empty of rubbish, sturdy, robust, the choice of suction, again amazing.... it's what every household needs, you just get that proffessional clean every time. No haze or dust cloud just a freshly clean area, absolute value for money.

Simply superb vacuum cleaner. Used for the first time on a dog haired, dusty old rug and it has actually cleaned it as if we had used a carpet shampoo, amazing. Easy to put together, each part is packed separately and although it's shape is not streamlined or fancy it is extremely well designed and is aligned to ease of use and super capabilities.

shark anti-hair wrap plus..I originally bought a cable less version and found it worked well but took to long to recharge so I gave it to my daughter and ordered the plug in..The only problem I had was that when it arrived in Germany it had a plug that only worked in GB - ordered an adapter and I couldn't be happier... My carpets are spotless and always "hair-free", which is a major plus as I have long hair that was always tangled in my old vacuum..

Brilliant vacuum cleaner our carpets look like new. I highly recommend this vacuum!!

This is an excellent vacuum! All the different ways to use it are extremely well thought out and allows me to get into any and every nook and cranny.

Product is good, vacuums well and is easy to move. Needs a wider mouth and longer power lead.
