Easily switch between carpet and hard floor modes using simple controls on the handle. Pull the Boost trigger for extra power. However, the battery life isn’t anything particularly out of the ordinary. Shark quotes it at 40 minutes, although this is without the motorised floor head attached. In our tests, we found it lasted 22mins 34secs when tested on carpet with the motorised head attached, falling to 16mins 10secs in Boost mode. Enjoy an amazing run-time of up to 40 minutes* per charge. The removable battery can be charged on or off the vacuum, wherever suits you. *In ION power mode, with non-motorised tool.

As with other Shark Flexology vacuums, the extension wand has a bend in it, which serves two purposes. Release the clasp on the wand and you can clean under low-lying furniture without having to get on your hands and knees. The bright LED headlamps on the front help you see what you’re doing. Second, fold the wand all the way over and, cleverly, the vacuum supports its own weight, allowing it to be stored temporarily in a corner without you having to lean it against a wall. Flexology bends so you don’t have to. At the touch of a button, this flexible wand bends to reach and clean underneath low-lying furniture. When you’ve finished cleaning, fold down for compact, freestanding storage and charging. If manoeuvrability is key for you, the Eufy HomeVac S11 Infinityand Dyson Micro 1.5kgare both much easier to handle. Glide from carpets to hard floors with Shark’s signature DuoClean floorhead. Anti Hair Wrap Technology actively removes hair from the brush-roll as you clean. Attach the purposefully-designed Anti Hair Wrap Pet Tool in portable mode to remove embedded pet hair from sofas, stairs and upholstery.

Hair is part of every home. But over time, hair can become tightly wrapped around a traditional vacuum cleaner’s brush-roll. As it builds up, it can affect cleaning performance. The headlights and Flexology features make it far easier to clean, too, with the visibility and on-the-fly flexibility to ensure you don’t need to get on your knees to clean in hard-to-reach places.
