I was approached by a friend two months ago to try out and review this Shark Vacuum in exchange for an independent review. At the time, I used my Henry hoover; I have had two Henry hoovers over the last 15 years. In our house there are two adults, two children (7 & 9 years of age) and two very, hairy, Collie dogs. I was quite devoted to Henry and don`t like change; I was not looking to replace my hoover.I am under no illusion that anything is perfect and I take some impressing to give anything a 5* rating. Initially, I was unsure of issuing a 5* review but after using the vacuum for a number of months, I am truly converted.When I received the hoover, I assembled it per instructions,this was simple and took less than 5 minutes.So lets get the Con`s out of the way:I found the pipe that connects the wand to the hoover itself too short. Although the main body dos detach from the handle/stand, i like quick and easy solutions.The capacity is not as great as what I am used to having on my previous hoover.My final point is, the clip/sphere fitting that attaches the pipe to the main frame/handle does not stay in once you start manoeuvring the vacuum - I no longer bother clipping it in.Now for the Pro`s:THE SMELL! Henry used a hoover bag that needed changing often, as soon as it was turned on, the entire room honked of dog! I tried many things to remedy this: Scented hoover bags, Shake`n`Vac, scented beads that are placed in the hoover bag itself but to no avail. This is not an issue with the Shark hoover.THE SUCTION! My house is a combination of hard floors, rugs & carpets. The hoover has a hard floor setting which is perfect for my varnished wood floor and the suction is adjustable (only a finger swipe away) which is brill fro changing from hard flooring onto rugs. When I first used the Shark, I was mortified and impressed, the amount of dirt was collected! The amount of dog hair that was extracted from the living room rug was exceptional!THE WAND. I love the wand attachment that is stored on the vacuum itself, It has a nozzle at one end that also transforms into a soft brush attachment, simply by sliding down the brush (My previous hoover had no room to store attachments, therefore I had to carry them round in a bag. I found this a great alternative to dusting (I hate dusting!) It allowed me to hoover the books/bookshelf as the brush offers a gentle surface, I also reduced the suction and managed to hoover all my sons dusty Lego models! THE LIGHT! I have a black, speckled flooring in the kitchen that does not often show dirt and hair... Until the hoover comes out! It shows no mercy in highlighting the dirt and hair!MANOEUVRABILITY! I love how light weight it is. The whole moment took some adjusting to as I had never used an up-right vacuum. However, it did not take me long to master it! Under beds, around chairs, under that awkward gab of the kitchen cupboards and around chair legs, all were a doddle at the slight twist of the wrist. It moves effortlessly over all the hard floors with out any scrapes or scratches.COMPOSITION:The way the hoover is put together is so practical! I am a busy working mum and time is sometimes of the essence. The Shark is slimline so has now become a permanent fixture in my kitchen, I could not do this with the previous hoover as it was too bulky ant i used to trip over the pipes (Spacial awareness is not my thing).The dust filter is easy to remove and clean and everything just clicks open. The component that stores the hair etc just clips on and off and has a carry handle to transport it to the bin. It accessible from the bottom and the top, so no more trying to pull clumps of hair out with fingers. I know its revolting but I did have to inspect what had been sucked up and even the grains of sand were present (The dogs seem to be sand magnets). I have a slight dust allergy and this offers a much cleaner way of disposing of the waste - compared to a hoover bag that seemed to create a plume of dust when removed & placed in the bin.Please accept my apologies for the long winded review. I am and avid review reader; more so when purchasing items of significant value. It is with great regret that Henry has now been retired to the garage.

On onboxing this hoover it literally takes seconds to put together, you don’t really need a manual it is so obvious where things go. I personally find the hoover quite heavy but I haven’t found a hoover yet that isn’t heavy but that isn’t something to be put off by, but if Weight is going to be an issue I would recommend going to a store to try one out for yourself before buying. The hoover itself has absolutely great suction and has a small bar at the front of the handle that you can move so suction isn’t as strong but boy does it lift the pile on your carpet, it goes right up to the skirting boards to give a good clean at the edges but if you wish to use the wand it literally unclips by just pushing a clip which is so easy and no real hassle,this model also has the lif away when the canister comes away from the stand so you can use the wand and walk around without entire hoover so makes it a great added feature for the stairs, for removing cobwebs from high up, to even getting under furniture without having the bulk of the canister, it’s a brilliant feature to the hoover. Going from carpets to hard floors is also effortless with this hoover by just flicking the switch on the handle from carpet mode to hard floor, and find that a handy feature without having to fiddle around with attachments. I have used the hoover in normal mode and also used it to hoover under furniture with the canister in lift away mode and it is so good, my old hoover wouldn’t go under furniture due to bulkiness of it so this is brilliant, it also comes with washable filters which is great as a quick rinse in hot water is all that is needed so no need to keep rebuying them although I am sure at some point you will need to replace but after looking on website they seem quite reasonable price to buy so may get a spare pack at some point. It has a really long lead and can do the whole of one floor without the need to keep unplugging and plugging in in each room which again is great and time saving. I have hoovered my entire house and the canister is not full and is so easy to empty you just unclip canister and push a switch and the dirt/dust just drops out, no messy fiddling to empty it is so easy. This model also has lights on the front to easy to see anything you might have missed, especially under furniture but I don’t see this hoover missing anything as the suction pulling stuff in is really good. I would recommend this hoover to anyone as it is a great hoover and has some great little features [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Had been thinking about buying a Shark for some time now, and finally bit the bullet. I have two very fluffy cats and carpeted stairs, a match not made in heaven. I am constantly battling the ingrained fluff and have spent literally hours in the past trying to pull it all up with a rubber brush. I chose this model as it's for pets and I hoped would be easier on stairs. It took just minutes to unpack and put together, very easy. I used the pet turbo tool and tackled the stairs and, well, the results speak for themselves. In ten minutes the stairs looked a way they haven't for years. The pile was lifted, the colour had magically brightened, and despite regular previous hoovering,I had to stop halfway and empty the full bin of pet hair, dust and dirt. It had pulled out two full bins worth by the time I was done which was pretty amazing and equally horrifying. The liftaway aspect comes into its own on stairs and made it so much easier, faster and safer. I can't fault it for how it performed on this usually arduous task.The rest of my floors are hard floors, and this is where choosing the right model for the job becomes important. This does not perform so well on hard surfaces with larger particles because of the low front profile, it struggled to capture tracked cat litter around their box and just pushed it around for the most part. However, this is not a dealbreaker for me as I do not have large areas of floor to deal with and find it easier to use the wand anyway to get into spaces. It could frustrate anyone with bigger expanses of hard floor though. My elderly mum who lives downstairs has all hard floors and did struggle with this model. It's quite heavy on the front end when in upright mode and she couldn't use it for long because of this. We solved that problem by getting her a stick duoclean model which is lighter and better for hard floors, so I'll review that separately.All in all, for what I need it for and the space I live in, I am very happy with this hoover. It's quality and performance are beyond expectations and it's a worthy investment. If I had one gripe, it would be the dust brush and crevice tool attachment, the fact they are a single unit reduces the spaces the crevice tool will actually fit into and that's a little annoying. Other than that, I can't fault it and look forward to many hours of happy hoovering, and clean stairs!

So this little beauty arrived today complete with TruePet and I unpacked it ready to take it for a spin. Now my house is, honestly, a complete nightmare for the average hoover. Even top end hoovers specifically designed for use with pets have given up and died after a year. I have 3 cats (2 are long haired Maine Coons), a dog, 4 kids and a 'other half' so my carpets are horrendous come summer shedding time and no matter how many times I hoover I still find clumps of hair everywhere.First impressions, easy to unpack and very easy to put together. I didn't even need to look at the instructions. Lovely colours, the burnt orange perfectly compliments the navy blue,and very compact which is ideal for storage in the cupboard of no return. Also it's surprisingly quiet, I didn't need to wrestle the TV remote from the kids to stop them turning up the volume which is a definite plus.On carpets - excellent performance, picked up EVERY hair and even managed to cope with the unexpected bits of tat that end up being dropped on the floor unnoticed and stab you in the foot when you least expect it (last time the kids are allowed a stapler). End to end was good with the hoover cleaning right up to the skirting boards. Also coped well with the transition from rug to carpet without trying to munch on the rug.Hard floors - also good once I'd noticed the hard floor switch, picked up everything it found including the dry cat food the little fur balls manage to throw out of their bowls and the bits of cereal the kids had pushed under the cupboards hoping I wouldn't notice.I love the fact that you can remove the roller to clean out the bits of string which somehow always appear wrapped around it, no more bending down and poking around with a knife to get the roller clean.The only negative I found is that the dust collector isn't that big, but that's only because I'm lazy and have a tendency to only empty it when it starts busting out past the seals. It's certainly enough to cope with 3 days of cat fur, dog fur, spilled kitty litter, kids cereal accidents and the occasional crunched up crisps disaster.I did enjoy using this but not enough that the kids no longer have to hoover, it would need a rocket powered jet pack and the ability to fly me to the shops for that.Still, I'm seriously impressed

Bought the NV681UKT after much research of many vacuum cleaners and ruling out of leading brands. I've had Vax and Dyson cleaners previously and not been totally impressed by either of them. I also ruled out Dyson battery powered cleaners due to poor battery life in high performance mode (typically 6 minutes). With 3 outdoor cats I needed something capable of picking up their fur and debris daily.The cleaner was very simple to assemble, involving just clicking the parts together with no tools needed. Performance exceeded my expectations and I was truly amazed at how much dirt was collected from a previously freshly hoovered carpet. The cleaner was easy to handle and I found the lights very useful.Converting it to its various configurations was really easy and after using it briefly it felt very natural. Reading some other reviews I thought I'd add my thoughts rather than repeat theirs. So, I agree the hoover is a little on the heavy side but not unduly so. I also concur the edge cleaning could be improved but I found it acceptable and there's always the edging tool if needed. I expected the pet tool to be electrically powered but it isn't. It is still very effective though and you can always slot the motorised main brush head directly to the end of the hose if you want that level of power. The main motor noise is very quiet but this increases substantially with the main brushes revolving in carpet mode. Notable plus points for me are the easy way the components click together, especially the dust canister for emptying, and the size of the main brush head. It's just the right size for navigating around furniture and between stuff, neither too big not too small. I'd certainly not hesitate to recommend this cleaner to anyone but do your own research to make sure it suits your needs.

I had originally bought the non duo clean version and wasn't happy with the hose flapping about I returned it and bought this model instead NV801UKT... I could wait to get it out of the box....well I was mindblown at the difference.....immediately it felt different, it sort of drives itself forwards just enough to take the effort out of pushing. I loved this, I have several health issues and find vacuuming painful but not anymore.. the power cable is shorter than my previous D***n and doesn't quite do all of downstairs.....unless I take the lift away off then it reaches perfectly round the living room, just enough cord tomsqve unplugging.I'm still shocked as to how much fine dust is just sitting in my carpets and this bad boy is lifting up makes me feel quite unwell as to how truly dirty my carpets were!So easy to empty even if a good of dog hairs jams the bin... just open top and push it down....so easy It doesn't matter that the bin is small.Another amazing feature is how easy it is to remove long hair tangled around the brush bar....push two buttons to remove the cover and lift the bar out, I tried using the tool but it is just a hook, with out hair a blade within the hood would-be perfect so out come the scissors and hey Presto the hair is gone,,,, the brush literally just popps into place and so do3s the cover ready for use. Definitely think someone with long hair invented this and I thank you as you've saved me loads of time .All in all I'm so p,eased, 5year warranty and a bargain reduced price makes me super happy... Definitely a shark convert

Just to be clear, I have never gushed about a vacuum cleaner before, but felt I must, so here goes... This is my first Shark, it is fantastic and I LOVE it. It is the best vacuum cleaner I’ve ever owned. - It assembled easily out of the box and the material and build quality is excellent.- It is straightforward and hassle free to use in its various configurations. - Switching from carpet to hard floors and reducing suction for rugs is a breeze. - It is slim enough to fit easily underneath my sofa and furniture, which is great, having always had to use a wand with my previous cleaners. - It is much quieter than my previous Dyson. - I’ve seen reviews about it being heavy,I think this depends on your expectations - my old Dyson was heavier. The dust catcher also removes with the wand which makes it lighter to use. - In terms of pick up - it is the best I have ever owned - it’s got some almighty suction (can be adjusted min to max). It needs a bit of force sometimes to pull back because of the suction, but personally, I couldn’t care less because it is cleaning superbly. - It’s got HEADLIGHTS!! I didn’t know this when I ordered it but I LOVE them and they’re great in dark corners. - 5 year guarantee.I bought this model based on amount of 5 star reviews and I am not disappointed. Well done Shark!

I’ve had this vacuum for over 2 years now and so feel able to give a true reflection on what it’s like. I’ve had many vacuums over the years incl Dyson and Miele. After a few Dysons that after a while did loose suction or just weren’t as good at picking up (even with a new brush). I changed to the Miele. The only thing I didn’t like about that was the fact that it was bagged and being the owner of dogs it started to leave a funny smell. I’d purchased a shark rocket to use at our caravan and was so impressed with that, that I decided to look into a home vacuum made by shark. Hence buying the TruePet NV681UKT. I have to say this is by far the most superior vacuum I have ever used,I’ve never had any loss of suction and it vacuums the carpets and hard floors in my home beautifully. The carpet in our living room is over 15 years old and you most definitely can not tell it’s age from looking at it, this is because when I started using the shark vacuum it literally lifts the pile and gives such a through vacuum that the carpet looks really good again. I have considered buy one of the cordless vacuums but as this one is still going strong and I still have 3 years left on the guarantee I don’t think I’ll be changing it just yet. I love everything about this vacuum and will probably never change brand.

I have been struggling with the same vacuum cleaner for years, never happy with the end result but nervous about buying a new one in case the same problems occurred. I only have one room with carpet, the rest of the flat is tile or laminate and the vacuum cleaner I was using did not pick everything up, despite the fact it was so noisy you would think it had super suction. My friend recommended Shark to me and so far I have been really happy with it. First of all the picture diagram of how to put it together was really easy to follow and I didn't have to guess where things went. On using it I discovered it is so much quieter than my other vacuum cleaner, which for me is important.It works really well on the hard floor but also has a setting for carpet and it was equally good on that. It was so good that I was quite disgusted at how much dirt it picked up. When it needs emptying a light comes on so you don't waste any time vacuuming when nothing is being picked up.The only reason I have not given it five stars is because I find it to be heavy and I have no upper body strength. Overall I am happy with it and glad I made the decision to give up on my other vacuum. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

You really don’t realise how terrible your vacuum is until you get a Shark. We keep a tidy house and vacuum regularly, and even after all that the dust cannister was practically full just from my living room when I first used my Shark! I’ve since moved every piece of furniture and vacuumed every part of the house. My floors are much cleaner and the air even feels fresher. We don’t have any pets, but we “catsat” for a friend this weekend and the true pet attachment picked up every bit of hair from the sofa with ease. I’ve borrowed a friend’s dyson a couple of times when I needed to do some heavy duty cleaning, and much prefer my Shark now. The dyson really tugs at the carpets while the Shark has great suction,but seemed to move around much easier.I’ve noticed some people complaining about the weight of this, but I actually found it to be quite light for an upright vacuum. The only thing I have to be careful about is using my Shark on the linoleum floors as the extreme suction pulls at it a bit. I could see it being fantastic for hardwood though. I would absolutely recommend this vacuum to anyone and everyone, and all in all my inner clean freak is VERY satisfied! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I am very impressed with this product.Even though I had vacuumed only two days before taking delivery of the Shark, the amount of dust it managed to pick up was amazing !I have noticed a definite reduction in the amount of dust on surfaces, even in the few days I have been using the machine. It was simplicity itself to put together out of the box.The lift away feature made cleaning the stairs and high areas very easy. It has good maneuverability, the swivel head made cleaning under sofas etc very easy, I did have to get used to this feature, having always had fixed head machines in the past. The lights are a nice touch which I found useful.The cord is an excellent length,though would have been better if it were a retractable one. Changing from hard floors to carpets is via a switch in the handle which makes life very simple, the suction power slide control is also in the handle. Be warned if you try to use full power you will struggle to push the machine across your carpets, it is so powerful. ! Emptying is quick and simple. Overall, this is a great machine !

I'm hesitant to give it 5 stars as have only had it a few weeks but if it continues as it has would be happy to up it. We've share had dysons and I think this picks up slightly better ( probably because it's new) the extras make it better. The head is smaller so it gets further under furniture, the lights are handy too. The powered lift away was great on stairs so much easier than balancing a big heavy Dyson. I was concerned that the 8m cord would mean I couldn't get my whole house done from one socket but with the lift away I just to managed it ( the Dyson has a 10m cord).I did find that I needed more arm power to keep it straight as the head moves very easily but I did have it on maximumsuction and it would have been easier on a lesser setting.I don't have many hard floors in my house and I haven't used the attachment for it, but the main vac on hardfloor setting doesn't pick up as well as my old Dyson but as it's not really an issue I'm sure that the right head would work.All in all I'm pleased, I only got it to make doing the stairs and hard to reach areas easier. So it has surpassed my expectations.

As a childminder and dog owner, my floors endure quite a hard life and encounter a wide variety of debris. I vacuum my floors several times a day and this vacuum has been brilliant at collecting the variety of substances thrown at it. The suction to the floor ensures that no particles escape, it even managed to pick up glitter which has always been a problem in the past. It struggled with a few larger food particles but it quickly converts to a hand-held hose which finishes the job easily. In lift-away mode, the stairs were effortless to do and it's great for underneath the table and small spaces, keeping suction even at full tilt. The vacuum was quick and easy to assemble once unpacked and it's small size means that it is easily stored until next use.I particularly like the attachments, they are easy and effective to use and have codes on the vacuum as to where they should be stored, a very clever idea. The vacuum is on the heavier side but it steers easily and you get used to the weight after a few uses. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I have had a number of cleaners designed to pick up hair but non have quite lived up to the performance of the Shark TruePet. This really does lift away all the hair left by my Labrador.My first advice with all the gadgets on the cleaner is read the instructions, something most of us blokes often miss. Do this to fully understand the capability of this great product and appreciate the full versatility.As a regular cleaner it does a magnificent job, switch to the attachments and performance remains unchanged. I often used my old cleaner for cleaning the ashes from my wood burner and still would need to get the poker out to clear the grill,with the TruePet not an issue just does the job as you want it.The detachable unit takes the versatility of the cleaner to a new level, getting under units with the lights helping you make sure all the dog hairs, in my case.All in all a great cleaner that out performs the previous “pet vacuums” that I have had in the past.

I have been using the shark vacuum for about a week now and my carpets have never looked better!I vacuum daily and since the change from me using my hetty I actually cannot believe the difference, I now can see the hetty was only picking up a fraction of dirt and dust! It’s amazing what you get used to until you change.It was easy assemble less than five minutes, for an upright vacuum i found it surprisingly light weight. The suction is amazing brings your carpets back to life.Easily changes from carpet to hard flooring with a switch. I thought the lights are a brilliant feature as you see all those hard to reach places you definitely won’t miss anything with this feature.Best of all was the lift away feature for me,no more lugging heavy vacuums and balancing on stairs to vacuum. I have used lots of different vacuums including many of the dysons and I think the power and suction of the shark is far better!This is a vacuum for me, very happy and satisfied.
