Shark DuoClean Cordless Stick Vacuum IZ251UKCO

Product Information

A bristle brush-roll cleans deep into carpets to draw out embedded dirt, while a second, soft front brush-roll makes continuous contact with the floor, drawing in small and large debris and lifting fine, stuck-on dust from hard floors.

Testing on carpet with a teaspoon of flour spread right up to the skirting board, a single pass through the mess picked up most of the flour, bar some mess by the skirting board. Shark’s removable Lithium Ion battery packs can be recharged on or off the vacuum, at any plug socket in your home. True Pet Models come with a Deep-Cleaning Motorised Pet Tool, while IZ251 models also come with 2 Batteries and a Dual Charging Dock. The filters are a piece of sponge and some type of cotton wool like pad that covers the sponge,cheap and nasty really!Charge anywhere – Shark’s removable Lithium Ion battery packs can be recharged on or off the vacuum, at any plug socket in your home, so there’s no need to be tied to a docking station. Two motorised brush-rolls work together in one floorhead, gliding seamlessly across all floor types with no need to stop or change floorhead.

However, these are minor niggles in an otherwise superb-quality vacuum cleaner, although if you’re looking for a different style of cordless vacuum cleaner, check out my best list. Shark provides two batteries in the box, both of which can be charged at the same time to give a total run-time of up to 80 minutes. The only cons are it won't stand up alone and it doesn't quite get to the edges so you have to use the hand tools to do along the edges of the room, It is great for a quick clean up though. Offering an amazing run-time of up to 80 minutes*, it’s the perfect choice for quick clean-ups and deep cleans alike. Whether you’ve finished cleaning or just need to pause to answer the door, there’s no need for storage hooks or leaning against walls.

Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest. Removing small and large messes in a single pass and lifting stubborn stuck on layers of dust, whilst restoring floors natural lustre.

Shark’s signature DuoClean floorhead combines two motorised brush-rolls, working together to clean both carpets and hard floors. After enjoying much success with the introduction of its Anti Hair Wrap technology, which prevents rollers becoming clogged with hair, Shark is now rolling out the tech to other products in its range.

It’s a shame the IZ251UKT isn’t able to stand up unaided when fully extended; the weight of the battery and bin tilt it over. We’re confident you’ll love your new Shark vacuum cleaner, offering an incredible 5-year guarantee upon registration with Shark (2 years for the batteries). My Dyson is driving me to distraction, I have to dismantle the head after nearly every use to unclog the hair that gets wrapped around the cog, we don't have pets or anything. It can be emptied when attached in handheld mode directly into the bin, but you can remove both the bin and filter for cleaning.
