Product Information

To test how well the Shark cordless hoover does on hard floors, we spread a good amount of oats, lentils and sand on laminate flooring. After cleaning with the Shark Stratos anti-allergen dusting brush, our cupboards are now also free from dust. With the CleanSense mode selected on the vacuum cleaner, it can adjust its power according to the mess, which is good for battery life, as the vacuum cleaner only uses as much power as it needs.

I was also lucky enough to attend a press event where I saw the new technology that the brand is using, and couldn't wait to get my hands on it myself.For a while, it seemed as if hoover manufacturers were constantly trying to outdo each other with the wattage of their appliances. The attention to detail shown by the brand in the design of the Stratos is what really impressed us here.

Read the full review to see how well this cordless vacuum performs on carpets, hard floors and whether it can efficiently deal with pet hair. The Shark Stratos had no problems whatsoever with this type of surface (which many vacuum cleaners have a hard time with). On CleanSense, I let the vacuum cleaner do its thing, and a single sweep left me with a clean run through the mess. To cover the basics, out of the box this vacuum is a sleek cordless model with lots of attachments to make use of.Especially because up until now I have been using my nan’s borrowed 25+ year old Sebo, which is about the size and weight of an articulated lorry. Featured in a striking charcoal grey and silver finish, the IZ420UKT from Shark is the perfect vacuum cleaner for busy homes. Today, we have millions of users a month from around the world, and assess more than 1,000 products a year. If too much hair and fluff has tangled itself around the brush rollers, it can decrease your vacuum’s suction power .

Keep reading to see our take on Shark vs Dyson after reviewing both, and to find out everything you need to know about these two bestselling vacuum brands. Though it's slim and lightweight, as soon as you hit the power button on the handle, you feel this vacuum roar into life. Finally, the Stratos goes a long way to changing that view; it has great suction, it looks nice, and it is so unbelievably effective at both picking up and then getting rid of dirt and dust at home. The worst will give you less than twenty minutes of power and take more than half a day to fully recharge.I had it together and working in under a minute, and that’s definitely down to ease of use rather than my own competency. This way, you can find the product that suits you best and I hope that our test reports offer you real added value in this way.

I found the main head a little cumbersome at times – this isn’t a problem for the young and fit, but I do suspect someone a little older would find it weighty.
