Shark Stratos Corded Stick Vacuum Cleaner [HZ3000UKT] Anti Hair Wrap Plus, Anti-Odour, Pet Pro Model, Black/Chrome

Product Information

This model also has Shark’s Lift-Away design, which means you can detach the main unit from the floor head and carry it to areas that might otherwise be difficult to reach with a full-size vacuum. The wand releases from the main unit, so you can add attachments and reach into awkward places, and you can also remove the wand from the handle if you need to just use the 1.46m hose for jobs like upholstery cleaning.

The big difference is that, unlike most vacuum cleaners, there’s no need to flip it upside down on a regular basis and get the scissors to the hair which is wrapped around the brush roller. I can’t imagine there’s anyone on this planet or otherwise, who would actually look forward to this grubby little task. Tired of removing tangled hair from your brush-roll? Anti Hair Wrap Plus removes long, short and pet hair from the Importantly, Lift-Away mode is easy to activate, with the cylinder lifting off effortlessly. With a total weight of 6.7kg, the NZ860UKT isn’t light, but Lift-Away does make it more nimble.

From as little as £5 per month, plus up to 10% off monthly premiums for life

We were really impressed by the Shark Stratos at the IFA event. It has all the good features that we know and love, and then some. Bright LED headlights in the floorhead help to illuminate hidden dust and pet hair pile-ups under furniture and in dark corners. Easily move between rooms thanks to the long 10m power cord and swivel steering. The Duo Clean feature features two brush rolls which work both independently and in unison, with one soft roller and a more standard harder brush roll. This makes Shark vacuum cleaners more effective at dealing with a wide range of particle sizes, it prevents the “snow ploughing” effect when trying to vacuum larger particles on hard surfaces, and it also means the soft brush gives hard floors a polish while you’re at it. As the outstanding balance, plus the interest now form part of your payable balance they will attract interest

As I mentioned earlier, I wish they’d put this on the hard brush roll as well as the soft roll. Maybe they can’t because of the power fins, or maybe they don’t think it’s necessary as the power fins do appear to stop hair from tightly winding around this roller, which they do appear to do, so we’re just talking about a small amount of hair loosely gathered on this roller, it’s not a big deal, but I’d just prefer it if they could put this anti hair wrap on both. It’s really lightweight, it’s incredibly easy to use, it takes very little effort to maneuver. It’s fast and easy to empty the waste container, the filter is easy to get at and to empty, it has fantastic suction power, amazing overall cleaning ability, on both hard floors and carpets (our home is roughly an equal mix, hard floors downstairs, carpets upstairs). I measured the ​​Shark NZ860UKT’s raw power at 268AW, which is a lot for an upright and slightly more powerful than the older NZ850UKT. Cylinder cleaners, such as the Numatic Henry tend to be more powerful, but Shark doesn’t need as much suction power as its floor head does a lot of the work. The costs for delivery, installation services and monthly insurance products cannot be placed on BNPL. The reason they refer to this as “Anti Allergen” is that there are various allergens (pollen probably the most obvious one) that are filtered out, so by having a complete seal these allergens won’t be dragged out from being embedded in carpet fibres for example, where presumably they weren’t doing much harm, and being pumped in the air to be inhaled.

The high-efficiency filters are completely sealed within the vacuum cleaner, offering extra reassurance for allergy sufferers and homes with pets.
