Shark Anti Hair Wrap Cordless Vacuum Cleaner Review & Demonstration

Hello, everyone and welcome to the last day of shark week, today's shark vacuum cleaner. Is this cordless? Stick vacuum! This has up to 60 minutes, run time, an anti-hair, app brush roll duo, clean technology now incorporating power fins, an led smart display, flex ology and an anti-allergen complete, sealed system. Now there are many different versions of this model, they're, all the same as far as the model goes, the actual vacuum. The difference comes with. Some machines have twin batteries, some come with the mini motorized tool. I'Ve gone for a single battery model with the pet motorized tool. Okay, i'm going to get everything out of the box. Lay it out in front of me and we'll have a closer look at this new shark vacuum. Here'S everything out of the box! This particular version is model iz, 300 ukt, the t standing for true pet or the pet version so called because it also comes with the mini motorized tool. So apart from the mini tool, we also get this multi-surface tool. So it's got a dusting brush. You can take the brush off and now you've got a furniture nozzle for your soft furnishings curtains, etc. Also get a crevice tool for the nooks and crannies, a handy storage bag to put them in obviously full instructions. The duo clean head with the new power fins also incorporating led lights, i'll show you that in action, obviously in this video and finally, the cleaner itself, if you've purchased a dual battery model, you'll find another battery in the box. When i opened this, i found the battery already fitted to the machine. Also in the box you'll find the battery charger and shark recommend you charge the battery fully before first use once the battery is fully charged, use the vacuum cleaner until the battery runs completely down and then charge the machine again. This will help to condition the battery once you've completed a full charge and discharge cycle. You can charge your shark cleaner after every use, so this is the battery you can charge it in several ways. Out of the machine like this simply plug the charger into the port on the back of the cleaner, you can, of course, also charge it while it's located in the machine again just plug it in, and you can also charge it when this is in storage mode. If you buy a machine with twin batteries, you may be supplied with an extra cradle where you can charge the batteries. This latest cordless stick from shark features, the new digital display, showing the run time and the selected power level. We just need to remove this sticker. First, covering the display, the digital display, shows the charge left in the battery the suction power you've selected and whether you're on carpet or hard floor mode. I'Ve got the previous version of this cordless vacuum cleaner and it's one i've recommended in the past. This is the new, updated version that incorporates two features that i found very useful on the new version of the cordless, upright the power fins which seem to make the machine pick up even better and the new digital display. So that's two bonuses with this new machine. Apart from that, it looks very similar to the previous version. It'S a fairly weighty machine in the hand, but it's got a comfortable hand, grip and, of course, there's no trigger that. You have to keep your finger on to keep the cleaner operating once you switch it on. It remains on quite a large capacity dust cup in this machine. Hold it over the bin. You'Ve got a little button here, press that and the bottom opens, and the dirt falls out. You'Ve got three filters inside this machine: two that should be washed once a month. The other filter, the exhaust hepa filter about once a year so to access that we can remove the bin there's a little button here. The bin comes off and we have access to the two pre-motor filters, a felt filter and then a sponge filter both are washable. Leave them to dry for 24 hours before reassembly. This whole unit can also be rinsed in running water and left to dry once you've done that replace the filters on this version. The felt or fabric filter goes on top underneath the bin. We have access to the hepa exhaust filter and that's located here, but that shouldn't need to be washed very frequently about once a year if you use the machine heavily, maybe twice a year. This is the duo clean brush roll now incorporating power fins and also at the front six led lights to help illuminate dark areas of your home. On the underside, we can see the new power fins, these flexible plastic fins. Here they help to dig deeper down into the carpet and provide better agitation, and i certainly found that was the case on the new cordless upright, as well as the power fins. You'Ve got quite dense chevron brushes all designed to sweep the dirt into the middle of the airpath, where you've got the most suction. Here'S the soft roller at the front that helps to pick up larger objects to stop snow plowing on hard floors. It also helps to pick up very fine dust as well. This comes off for washing you've got a little blue button here. Just pops out. You can actually clean that you can rinse. It then give it a good squeeze through and then leave that to dry for 24 hours, never reassemble anything until it's thoroughly dry, just pops back there. It is an anti-hair wrap brush roll. If you do need to clean hair off it, if you've got lots of long hair and the machine hasn't actually cleared it, you can actually take off this part. There are two screws to undo. You can use a coin to take those off. This cover comes off and it gives you better access to the brush roll. This is the flexology wand pioneered by shark, but now copied by other manufacturers. Not only does this allow you to clean under low furniture more easily in storage mode, it allows the machine to freeze stand and charge. At the same time, the wand fits onto the duo clean head with a push and a click to remove the wand, simply press. The red button and pull up the other end of the wand fits into the cleaner again with a positive click. This is the cleaner in storage mode, so it enables you to fit it into a smaller cupboard or if you want to charge the battery while it's fitted to the cleaner, you can just put it in the corner of a room as long as it's near a Socket outlet, but of course you can charge the battery outside of the cleaner, so you can put this away in a cupboard if you don't want it on show and keep the battery charged up on a worktop. The cleaner is top heavy, so it won't stand up on its own. So if you want to pause your cleaner you've, either got to put it into the storage mode or you can lean it up against the wall and shark have provided a little anti-slip pad here. On the back of the battery, so you can lean it up against the wall without it slipping down to put the cleaner in storage mode press. The button here on the back of the flexology wand and carefully lower the machine into the storage position when you're in operating mode press the button again to help you clean under low furniture. All the tools, including the duoclean powerhead, can be attached directly to the cleaner or onto the end of the flexology wand. So i can put the pet turbo nozzle directly onto the machine, so this is ideal for cleaning stairs or upholstery or your car interior. I'Ll just show you the head in action and each tool fits with a positive click mechanism. You have a button to release the tool, the crevice tool and the multi-purpose tool also fit with a positive click. That'S very good, just clicks in and stays securely in position until you press the button it's time for the initial switch on i'm going to use the standard setting or medium and, of course, i'll have to make sure it's selected to carpet mode. So um the video you're watching today forms part of shark week where i've tested a different shark vacuum cleaner every day and most of the shark cleaners i've shown during shark week. I'Ve done an initial test on this area of my living room, and it's always surprised me that i keep getting more dirt out of this carpet, despite the fact that it's had lots of brand new vacuum cleaners running over it, and this latest shark has managed to Remove more dirt, including bits of dirt that i couldn't see just from that small area of carpet, let's see how much dirt this shark has removed. Oh egg! That'S why i've been bouncing, i'm still getting more and more dirt from this carpet. I'Ve! No idea how much dirt this carpet is holding onto bit of fluff. I always expect a bit of fluff, but i've got lentils here, a few, a few red lentils, i couldn't even see these would show up on the top of the carpet. These are obviously deep down and again i've got some red sand here that was put down fairly recently, but i've also got some black sand that i featured in a demonstration video a few weeks ago. There'S some rice again. I couldn't see any rice on the carpet that was hiding deep in the pile and there's a few bits of glitter as well, and that was just from a very brief use. So uh crikey makes me wonder how much hidden dirt i've still got in this carpet. During shark week i've been mainly demonstrating the carpet cleaning ability of the various shark cleaners. I'Ve shown you using a rug mainly because it shows up the dirt better, but for the start of this demo i thought i would go back to actually demonstrating on my deep pile or plush pile at least carpet. That seems to be holding on to a lot of dirt and i don't think for a minute that this shark is going to remove every single last grain of red sand, but it'll be an interesting test. I'M sure it's going to leave the surface looking very clean. I'M going to use the standard setting the medium setting first, so, let's give it a go so ah foreign well, it certainly looks very clean on the surface. I can see the odd tiny grain of red sand, but without getting an electron microscope out, and i don't think i'd want to see what's really in my carpet with an electron microscope, but without getting an electron microscope out. I'M pretty happy with that result. It'S time for the pet hair demonstration now hair, kindly provided by daisy, so foreign. So, let's see if any of daisy's hair has remained wrapped around the brush rolls well, here's the mini pet tool looks pretty clear to me: there's a little bit of hair on this strip at the back, but not very much at all and the main anti-hair wrap Duo, clean brush roll well yeah a little bit of hair on that brush, but i think after it's been used a bit more that would have just been sucked into the machine and a little bit here. Look but nothing major. Some has revealed itself on the soft roller as i've moved the agitator. A few other little bits are popping out as well. A few lentils are popping out but on the hole, that's still pretty clean, okey dokey i've got some more mess to clean up. On my kitchen floor, i'm going to use the machine on its standard suction setting, but i'm going to select hard floor. So the brush roll will rotate at a slower speed, so so well, i've certainly put this shark cordless stick through its paces. Today, everything i've put down for it to pick up. It'S picked up pet hair mess on my carpet a huge mess in the kitchen as well. It'S dealt with everything, i'm really quite happy with this vacuum. Yesterday'S video that i filmed at the time of making this video - i wasn't very happy with that particular corded, upright cleaner, but shark - have redeemed themselves with this cordless stick. This is an excellent machine. I would thoroughly recommend it if you're looking for a cordless vacuum cleaner and you don't want the upright style. If you want the traditional stick type cordless, then i would certainly look at getting one of these shark cordless machines. Well, folks, i've really enjoyed making all these videos for shark week, but, to be honest, i'm glad it's all over it'll be nice to get back to opening some different vacuum cleaners, different brands, both old and new. But i thought i would end this video by ranking the cleaners. I'Ve shown you in my personal preference, my preferred machines from worst to best. This is my personal opinion and you might disagree. You might agree, but this is what i think of the cleaners i've shown you during shark week. I have no trouble deciding which shark vacuum cleaner comes in last and it's this one. This is a more traditional corded, upright cleaner from shark, with the lift away, but without the duo clean, brush roll. My main reason for this coming last is the fact it just doesn't work in my home, especially on my living room carpet. It was virtually impossible to push on the maximum suction setting even on minimum. It was still very, very difficult. It might suit a home with very short pile carpets, but for me it's a no-no. I wouldn't recommend this particular machine, but that's just my personal opinion. So this comes in last place in sixth place. Is the shark corded stick again it's personal preference with this one, but i just don't really like this form factor in a mains powered vacuum. It performed very well i'll, give it that, but it just seems quite flimsy really and just not really my cup of tea at all. But again, that's my own personal preference in fifth. Place comes the shark hand vac. Now i do like this cleaner. It performs very well, it is on the noisy side, though, but for 60 pounds. I do think this is good value if you just want a handheld vacuum in fourth place. Comes the shark wand vac a very handy grab and go cleaner great for above floor cleaning. Toast crumbs cleaning out your jaws, etc, but it's also ideal for quick cleans on carpets and hard floors in third place. We have the brand new shark cylinder cleaner. I believe at the time of making this video the shark cylinder video was my most popular, partly because you can't buy it at the moment in the usa. I'M not sure when the launch date is, but i'm sure it's going to be pretty soon in the uk, and i would be very surprised if the usa don't get this machine. In fact, i was quite surprised that the uk got this before our american cousins, so this comes a third place because it's brand new, it picks up very well. It is quiet. Despite what some people have said, i don't know how you can judge the noise level of a vacuum cleaner from a youtube video, but it's certainly under 80 decibels, because it it's not allowed to go over 80 decibels because of the eu regulations. A lot of comments on the bin as well, not being clear, but you can see through it. It might not be so obvious on the video, but you can see through it, especially when it comes near the max fill line. If you just look down, you can see the dust starting to build up, so i think i prefer it in this smoked color. If it was a clear bin, it would really spoil the looks of this machine. So yes, certainly that comes in third place. Let'S have a look at the runner up now and the winner in second place comes the vacuum. Cleaner. I'Ve demonstrated in today's video the shark cordless stick so by the process of elimination. We have the shark cordless, upright vacuum cleaner, coming in first place. I really like the form factor of this machine. All the weight is low down, there's very little weight in the hand. So if you find pushing a vacuum cleaner, difficult, you might consider this model. It'S also very versatile, of course, because you have powered lift away. You can take the suction pod out to the car, it's great on stairs and, of course, in lift away mode. You can clean right under load furniture. So this is my choice. During shark week the vacuum i would give top marks too, and the performance of this machine is extremely good. Well, folks, i'm absolutely whacked after filming a week of vacuum, cleaner demonstrations. If i ever see another vacuum cleaner again, it will be too soon. Well, that's how i feel now, but i'm sure next week i'll be wanting to try out another vacuum cleaner. After all, that's what i do on this channel. I hope you found shark week informative and useful and whether you decide to buy a shark vacuum cleaner. It'S completely up to you. I just give you my opinions on the various vacuums. I show you it's your money, it's your choice! If this has made you decide, you never want to buy a shark vacuum. Cleaner, that's fine! But if you decide to go ahead and buy one, that's also fine. It'S up to you. You are the consumer, so i'm going to end the video with a little montage. A few highlights for you and uh i'm going to go for a lie down with a damp tea towel on my head, bye for now, and thanks for watching you
