Shark Lift-Away Upright Vacuum Cleaner [NV601UK], Blue/Steel Grey , 33.99 cm x 30.99 cm x 1.16 metres

Pros-Excellent suction with an easy variable twist function to alter the power of suction for different types of carpet and floors. It’s a very powerful motor compared to my previous vacuum from a ‘big name’ seller.The myriad ways you can disconnect and connect different parts to the Hoover for reaching higher up places or the lift-away handheld feature to clean the car or stairs easier.The cable is a decent length so had no need to keep unplugging for different areas. I prefer corded to cordless as can’t be bothered with the hassle of having to charge it up for hours and only getting 20-30 mins usage. Yes the wire can trail around you and get in the way but I’ve always felt that corded seem more powerful on suction, tho everyone will have a different opinion on this for practicality and mobility reasons among others.So easy to unclip the bin and empty out when full. No dust clouds either so no longer need to go to the outside bin to empty it. The filters are easy to access and clean too.Various good value attachments available to buy for different usage requirements such as the car kit attachments if you’re super anal about your car and true-pet brushes for those of us with cats and dogs that molt heavily.Cons-That I hesitated and waited so long to buy one in the first place, having put up with various other companies vacuums that didn’t impress for one reason or another.In my opinion they simply can’t touch this for the powerful suction, multi-use feature set and lift away tech that makes hoovering the house, stairs and car less of a chore and more of a hobby haha!I’m truly a Shark convert now and the added free 5 year guarantee gives you true peace of mind. Very good value for money indeed.

Great vacuum, you won’t be disappointed.PROS-Great suction!-There pretty good side suction when running it along skirting boards for example.-Brush mode works amazing on carpets, ours have never been cleaner and we’ve been through various Vax and Dyson vacuums over the years.-Lift away is neat and very convenient.-All the bits click together well - the hose, attachment, waste bin, filter etc etc - very well engineered and easy to get to all parts, really easy to clean and de-fuzz the brush head.-Front lights are actually really useful, especially on hardfloors.-Stairs/brush (we purchased separately) is so good, an essential for stairs/sofas/beds etc.-Great value for money compared to DysonCONS-Overall not lightweight, but for the power and suction level, I understand it can’t be that light. I am referring to normal mode. The lift away mode is much lighter of course.-The hose could have been a bit longer - but I prob should only use the hose when I using it in lift away mode.-Bit bulky to get under lower tables and chairs in ‘normal’ mode. Just means I have to bust out the hose a bit more and move the kitchen chairs. This is a normal ‘issue’ with an upright of course.-Wish the t-shaped attachment was a bit wider.Note - The attachment connections seem universal eg just a hose tube, I could prob get a third party attachment that will simply slip on where a branded one doesn’t exist. Just contrasting to Dyson that has specific connector method.So overall not any cons that should stop you buying this. If you’re not fussed about being cordless and want a real powerhouse vacuum, you can’t go wrong with the performance and price value of this one!

This is by far the best hoover I’ve ever owned! I was a die hard dyson fan until biting the bullet and buying this. I will admit I was hesitant after reading certain reviews but was swayed by the price in the end as it was a complete bargain at £165! I would happily pay full price for it now knowing how good it is.It’s quiet, very light and easy to manouvre, the lights are amazing for spotting crumbs and dust you would usually miss.I’m struggling to understand how so many people are saying the suction is TOO strong and it’s pulling up their carpet? The suction is completely adjustable! For carpet, hard floor AND the hose attachment. You can adjust the suction as low or as strong as required by the easy slide bar on the handle. I have thick fluffy pile carpet in half of my home and have had no problems whatsoever.Very simple to empty the container and I love the access to the floor roller brush to effortlessly clear any long hair / string that has become tangled.I thought my carpets were spotless before buying this as I hoover almost every day but the amount of dust and fluff it picks up is shocking, especially on the first use! 🙈I have 2 dogs, one short haired and one long haired, and it’s fantastic for both types of pet hair!I absolutely recommend this hoover, if your on the fence just go for it! You won’t be disappointed.
