I can't believe that I've spent half the day watching KZbin videos on vacuum cleaners! However, thanks to this video and your holiday one I have ordered one of these Shark cordless liftaway vacuums. It should arrive tomorrow and it's got plenty of work to do!

This is revolutionary design. It solves the biggest problem what I have with the stick type vacuums. Too much weight for the hand. Onboard hose and true upright figuration is absolutely excellent. I hope Dyson is going to make something similar.

[@LlyleHunter]

Sweet little ride you've got there Roger.They may not be of the highest quality but they sure are great innovators. As if the lift-a-way feature wasn't enough of a breakthrough they've gone and made it cordless. It must be incredibly flexible and freeing in use.

[@ibaisaic]

I have no quality issues with Shark. I know some components are prone to fail like the internal hose in the power nozzle but I’m sure Shark have looked into this. It has a five year guarantee so if the hose in the nozzle does spilt, I expect them to replace it. Because I never use the same vacuum constantly and always maintain the ones I do, I can’t comment on any reliability issues. There are far worse machines out there for quality. Models from Hoover and Vax spring to mind.

[@Bunkysworkshop]

Now this little shark is calling my name Roger. I can see how it would be a very useful machine.

[@ibaisaic]

I think so too. I think it’s the most versatile cordless I have and I can’t wait to have a proper go with it, especially when I take it to the holiday cottage.

[@matthewreeder7376]

It needs to be vacuum of the month at some point because that would be interesting

[@shanksre6186]

Thank you.

[@thetechiesworld]

Very interesting. I quite like the battery design. It looks like it will make a great conversation starter while it's in the caddy charging. I wonder if Shark maybe have found the recipe for cordless vacuums with this machine. Many have tried to enter the "full-sized" upright replacement market as we know, but nobody has really excelled, in my opinion, as they don't have the same level of performance as a corded machine.

[@glynroberts8832]

This felt like Christmas come early. I love this shark already. This looks a million times better than the blade and also gives dyson a challenge. After you've used it on holiday, you can drop it off at my house .I would be very pleased to help you out that way Roger.

[@ibaisaic]

I’m loving it so far, but it’s just the honeymoon period, though this could be the cordless I grab the most often for whole house cleaning.

Roger, we haven't gotten these in the states or even seen anything about it, so I really appreciate the video.... do you think it's more powerful than the Ion Flex? I bought one a few weeks ago and it's great for cleaning in the house but not quite powerful enough for the car...

hi was wondering if you could say what shark model is the better one i got the upright lift away last year but i want to get a new one and im stuck between this one or the flexolagey one with the cord i like this one but am not to sure about cordless but like the idea of the weight at the bottem to help pull the pile up on the carpets but i just dont like the idea of the cordless which brings me to wanting to get the corded flexology one please help lol thanx

[@mofazolmeah6705]

I have the same one but the suction is not good as the coded one

[@FantomLightning]

Reminds me of the battery setup on the Westinghouse Unwired...

[@MylesV]

It's sort of similar. The Westinghouse Unplugged had a much larger battery though, and it had to be charged in a separate charging base outside of the machine. The Shark can be charged in a charging dock like the Unplugged, or you can plug the charge cable into the machine itself. I remember the charger for the Unplugged had a very loud cooling fan built into it.

[@huckleberry5267]

What happened to the Bosch???

[@braydencordrey8544]

We need this pet version in America

[@briant5378]

I wonder how well dirt is removed when you approach a wall head on. In some situations, you can not clean along a baseboard (skirting board) by passing the nozzle sideways along the edge. In these cases, you are forced to direct the nozzle head on towards the wall. The main brush roller seems set back to far from the front edge with these Duos, don’t you think? Would be interesting to see a “head on” test of dirt accumulated up a against a skirting board. But I must say I like the new refined design of the nozzle.

[@ibaisaic]

In the brief demo there was a clump of dog hair up against the door and the Shark picked it up head on. I will look at edge & front cleaning in the demo.

[@fueledbyregret]

Any update on the performance tests? Strongly considering this as an upgrade to our Vax Blade :)

[@fueledbyregret]

Shark have quite a big promo with discounts and aggressive marketing on this machine, hence my interest. I expect a lot of people are searching for reviews on it at the moment.

[@maxking8146]

hi,can you test the new shark icz260eut?

[@LorraineThoseNails]

I can’t find the follow up? Help!

[@littletinyhouse2237]

Not fair. Why SG dont have lightweight corded and cordless with / without motorised head. The stick type form factor is very hard to push on both carpets and hard floors. I and my mum hsve long hair. If we use the straight suction directly on our hard floors, will not remove the deep down dirt from the grout in between the tiles. As for wooden floors no, only tiles floors

[@jtvacuumandasmr8530]

Sharks are great but they really outdid themselves with this one. I love that brushroller and I’m so impressed by how much it picks up with one pass. I’m excited for the upcoming demos! Especially if you test it on different types of flooring.

[@tiredrummertube]

I hope you get a chance to test the Navigator with zero “m” NON DUO CLEAN ! Machine on pet hair. It seems better than duo clean models because hair does not pile and glog between the two rollers!

[@ibaisaic]

If Shark launch that in the UK then hopefully I will get to try one. Personally I prefer the non Duo Clean models myself as they seem to clean better on carpets.

[@keagan1447]

I have a Miele C3 which is great, but is a little bit clunky... I feel like I might use this more often because I can pull it out and do a daily sweep. Can this replace the miele? Keep in mind my apartment is about 750 sq/ft.

[@ibaisaic]

It’s early days but this is one cordless that I have used that could possibly replace a mains powered cleaner in a small home.

[@Alex-jn1ez]

I have a Miele c3 as well I'm going to upgrade to this maybe a Xmas gift to myself? I just don't like the bags they're expensive and small not worth €15

[@littletinyhouse2237]

But i prefer a cordless with a motorised head for my carpets. The mains powered vers very hard to push on my carpets that is not like yours. It is an area large rug or mat. Although you said that those with brushroll is better for carpets but not mine. I also prefer to use a corded with straight suction on my carpets with the brush down. I hsve a similar commercial with the nozzle that look alike to the delicated hard floor nozzle for both carpets and hard floor. The brushes from the nozzle is very stiff and not gentle to those floors that is not like my tiles. Wooden and all those floors

You can always buy on a monthly plan as well. You can get the vacuum, a steam mop, a small handheld vacuum and a complete cleaning kit for eight £70 monthly payments. It makes it a lot more affordable and there is no interest. You can leave out the other additions and it's 7 of £49.99. It makes cleaning mess way easier, especially the small handheld for kitchen counter tops/small spaces.

[@dtz1000]

@mauvechalk...The Dyson V7 is only £240 and cleans carpets better than this Shark. It also weighs a lot less than this shark too. Shark have good marketing and they fool a lot of people, but the motor technology just doesn't compare with dyson cordless.

[@ultrakwon]

You didn't show the dust bin clean-up process, which is the most important part for me, being extremely allergic to dust.

[@ibaisaic]

If you are extremely allergic to dust, you should get a bagged vacuum such as a Miele.

[@ultrakwon]

@@ibaisaic Contrary to popular believe, the number one thing that I wanna know with these reviews is not the battery life or the suction power. It's the part where you empty the goshdarn dust bin. I have a V6 Absolute, and I'm perfectly satisfied with it, except for the part where you have to manually empty the dust bin. The dust bin is stuck to the entire vacuum on the cordless Dyson models, so when you open the lid to empty it, it causes a plume of dust to rise and coat the entire vacuum. This is gross enough as it is, but it's not all. The Dyson's and most cordless vacuums have their engine/filter inside the dust bin, so it entangles lint and hair. You could try pounding it out, which, again, because the bin is stuck to the entire vacuum, is precarious and unwieldy. You don't wanna break the thing, and also, every time you shake it or rattle it to dislodge the clumps of lint and hair, it just continues to disseminate dust everywhere, including the vacuum and your clothes. Ultimately, you need to get a stick to manually dislodge the clusters of lint between the motor/filter inside the bin. I always do this outside, because it's an unmitigated disaster as it is, and I'll pick at the lint with a twig. Again, very precarious operation. The whole procedure generally takes me around 20-30 minutes. There's the emptying the bin, and then there's the clean-up afterward. I have to give the vacuum a thorough wipe down, wash up, change clothes, etc. For all the convenience of a cordless, this is the payback, and for me, it's not worth it. The most ergonomic bin I've been able to find for the cordless is the ION P50 by Shark, because the dust bin detaches like a corded vacuum. It also had lids that open both ways and there's no motor/filter permanently housed inside the bin to create crevices that'll get clogged with lint. The only concern with it is that it has the idiotic dual brush bar technology, where the vacuum is simultaneously spinning both the hardwood + carpet roller at all times. So when you switch over to hardwood, the carpet roller's stiff bristles are still engaged, and it's gonna scratch up the hardwood over time. The perfect vacuum for me that I've found is still Dyson's cordless. It's extremely light and convenient, but the BAGLESS dust bin is a deal breaker. As for your recommendation of the Miele, I notice they're all canister vacs, which are more suitable for the garage. Personally, I don't like the canister vacs for indoor use (unless it's the basement), because not only do you have to deal with the cord, but you also have to deal with the canister that also gets in the way. I only have two hands: one to hold the hose, and one to clear the cord. I'd need four hands like Kintaro for a canister vac; two more to carry the canister and another to move around obstacles in the way.

[@ibaisaic]

Miele do an upright vacuum but it is quite large and heavy. I have a video coming up soon showing the Shark cleaning an average home and also how much dirt it picked up including the emptying process.

[@justinhu8]

The dirt bin does detach from the Dyson v6, you just need to click the bin-release switch twice when emptying. I think dyson has a video on their channel which shows it. Although, if you have serious allergies, then I'd agree with Roger -- if you want a nice upright bagged cleaner which isn't bulky, then I highly recommend checking out a Sebo Felix, there's a review of it on this channel

While Shark is able to cram in a lot of features, I don't think they have their reliability down.
