Shark Stratos Corded Stick Vacuum Cleaner [HZ3000UKT] Anti Hair Wrap Plus, Anti-Odour, Pet Pro Model, Black/Chrome

Product Information

It was as good at picking up spillages in our tests as you could hope to expect, with results rivalling the best cordless sticks around.

The big difference is that, unlike most vacuum cleaners, there’s no need to flip it upside down on a regular basis and get the scissors to the hair which is wrapped around the brush roller. Dyson still offers their corded hoovers, but if you want their newer features you have to go for their newer cordless models, as they’re no longer developing new corded vacuum cleaners. We were told that this new feature will also help to preserve the battery life since you'll be using a suction power level that is most suitable for the floor type, which is unlikely to be on Max.It can just be pulled off, it doesn’t require scissors, but I’m just not quite sure why they don’t just put the great anti-hair wrap widget on both rollers. Here, running the Shark NZ860UKT along the skirting board, I removed all of the dust and didn’t have to resort to using the crevice tool. uk/shark-parts-accessories/shark-corded-stick-vacuum-cleaner-hz3000-parts-accessories/" on this server.

Our ease of use tests are conducted by an independent panel of vacuum cleaner experts and assess how easy it is use the vacuum cleaner in various real life situations, how easy it is to conduct regular maintenance on the vacuum cleaner, such as changing bags and filters, and finally how versatile each vacuum cleaner is for conducting a variety of tasks such as cleaning at various heights and cleaning upholstery. The Duo Clean feature features two brush rolls which work both independently and in unison, with one soft roller and a more standard harder brush roll. It was ridiculously simple to unbox and assemble, it’s really easy to use, it’s powerful, and in most parts, it does what it says on the tin. The Flexology feature was a little stiff when we quickly tested, though, and don't expect it to stand up on it's own, because it won't.

Below are the technical specifications for the HZ3000UKT Shark® Stratos® DuoClean Corded Stick Vacuum. Power cables are a little bit of a nuisance when you’re hoovering, but for me personally, the small amount of pain is more than worth it for the gain, the gain being continual cleaning power, on full, without being concerned about the battery running out. The two rollers of the DuoClean floor head are hard-working and do a terrific job in a variety of tricky situations. Without the bulk of the bin on the wand, Lift-Away mode makes it easier to clean under furniture, on stairs or get into tight gaps. Another dad joke coming… This isn’t a tool for motorised pets, they don’t tend to have much hair, it is of course a motorised tool for dealing with pet hair, and it’s another great feature.

For me, this is one of Shark’s best features, and this is a big plus for Shark vs Dyson when it comes to the fact that Shark releases new corded hoovers as well as cordless models. This model is designed to be better at picking up pet hair, and even better at avoiding hair getting tangled; I didn’t get any hair wrapped around the brush during my testing. This makes Shark vacuum cleaners more effective at dealing with a wide range of particle sizes, it prevents the “snow ploughing” effect when trying to vacuum larger particles on hard surfaces, and it also means the soft brush gives hard floors a polish while you’re at it. For our hair and fibre tests we comb real cat and dog hair into wilton carpet and then time how long it takes for each vacuum cleaner to suck it all up, the best can do it in less than 30 seconds, the worst take more than three minutes. weight (which isn’t exactly a tonne) when you pick the entire hoover up to take it upstairs for example, and when you’re pushing it around it feels much lighter.There’s a handle on the top and a button on the front to release a trap door in the bottom, which allows the dirt to fall out with minimal further encouragement. We like that the suction is displayed in such an obvious way on the floorhead, which in turn effects the number of floorhead lights that are illuminated whilst powered on. The pet tool is a stonking little thing, so good for purging the sofa and carpets of pet hair, and for cars too in theory although to be honest, I’m not someone who regularly hoovers their car. However, it runs off a rechargeable battery, so you don’t have to worry about trailing cables or swapping sockets when the cord’s at the end of its reach. OK Shark aren’t the only vacuum cleaner brand to have this feature, but I do particularly like their pet tool.
