The main filter comes in the form of a large sponge that can be popped out of the machine and washed by hand.

The slider both adjusts the air vent, slowly reducing suction from hard floor down to thick carpet, but it also adjusts the speed of the DuoClean floor head, too. The light on the handle highlights all the things you wouldn't normally see, cobwebs, dead flies et c.These are from various different manufacturers which I have found to be the best quality, for these particular parts, over the years. Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest. Discover revolutionary Anti Hair Wrap Technology, actively removing hair from the bristle brush-roll so you don't have to. A unique bristle-guard and comb separates and removes long, short and pet hair from the brush-roll, helping to leave it tangle-free. There’s an 8m power in the box, which means that you should be able to cover most of your house with two or three power socket changes; at the worst, you can cover a large room without having to replug.

The ergonomic handle is comfortable to use and provides a strong grip while cleaning without the risk of cramped fingers or sore wrists after a long cleaning session.The vacuum features a filtration system, effectively capturing dust and allergens from the air during cleaning.

It’s also worth noting that the trade-off for having a wider floorhead is that it’s more difficult to manoeuvre around furniture. We really like Shark’s Lift-Away function, as it addresses one of the biggest issues with upright vacuums: a lack of mobility. Boasting a bigger capacity for fewer empties, this powerful upright instantly transforms into a portable vacuum to easily clean stairs, under furniture and throughout your home.A tiny amount of flour was left where the carpet fibres slide under the skirting board: this was nothing that an extra sweep towards the skirting board didn’t fix. One of the main advantages of size is that the Shark AZ950UKT ships with the large DuoClean floor head. The removable wand and range of tools make above-floor cleaning a much easier task, although you do feel the weight after a while. With its XL features, the Shark AZ950UKT is more of a niche vacuum cleaner than many of Shark’s other vacs.

What I truly love about about my Shark is the ease in which you can change modes from tiled and laminate floors to carpets and rugs because the switch is on the handle along with the on/off button, there is also a light which is a brilliant touch for when you want to detach the handle for use with the brilliant pet hair removing device or duster brush which again I love because I hate conventional dusting because all it does is spread the dust into the air. Shark states that you must wash your filter every three months to keep the machine running smoothly, but we recommend checking the filter monthly – you can make your own decision on how often to wash it from there.

Anyway I was worried that the set might be damaged, as I have had loads of books that were just slung in plastic, and corners alway get dinged. It really does help you to see any dust or dirt that has been left behind, especially in dark places like under the sofa. The only complaint we have about the DuoClean is that it could be easier to access the bristle brush roll. The Shark AZ950UKT is the XL version of the popular Shark AZ910UKT, so it has a wider floorhead and bigger 1. Again, the wide head meant that most of the spill could be picked up in a single sweep, even the grains of rice that had fallen into the grouting.
