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

Product Information

A cordless Shark vacuum cleaner aimed at pet owners. It’s equipped with ‘Anti Hair Wrap Plus’ which removes long, short and pet hair from the brush-roll as you clean, according to Shark. It also comes with ‘Clean Sense IQ’ that automatically senses the invisible dirt and adjusts cleaning power. If you have pets, it would be good to choose the pet version, the shark hz500ukt. But the pet brush is very helpful in cleaning stairs, upholstery and hard-to-reach areas. In-depth review of the Shark hz500uk – Is it Worth Buying?

The small thing is a little sharp comb-type gismo that catches and cuts hairs before they can get tightly wound around the roller, and then the cut strands are simply hoovered up, perfect! Like I say, it’s a small thing, it may even seem to be a very obvious thing, but that’s the thing about the best inventions, they make so much sense that you can’t believe that they weren’t always a thing.We rated the Shark hz500uk 5 out of 5 according to its overall hard floor cleaning effectiveness. It will be an excellent choice if your house is mostly hard floor. Is the Shark hz500uk better for cleaning carpet floors? In the pet version Shark hz500ukt, you’ll get an additional pet turbo brush, which is air driven, not motorized. Is the Shark hz500uk better for cleaning hardwood floors? 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. However, while useful, most of them aren't unique. You'll find similar features across most other brands, just with more conventional names.

In the box you’ll find a crevice tool, multi-surface tool, pet tool, accessory bag, lithium-Ion battery and a charger. In terms of cleaning power, this has enough overall cleaning power to clean any home, regardless of size and/or the mix of floor types. This isn’t only about power in terms of the watts of the motor, or airwatts (which is how suction power is specifically measured), it’s a combination of suction power paired with the efficiency of the duo clean system, which I can tell you from first hand experience, is very efficient. As I said, the duo clean floor head is the winner on all types of cleaning tests; the Powerfins brush roll on the vacuum effectively prevents pet and human hair from wrapping around the brush roller. This is one of the really impressive features of this corded hoover, the main part of the vacuum cleaner when you remove the wand & brush head is very small and lightweight, so it becomes an incredibly powerful handheld almost instantly. There are purpose-built handhelds that are a bit smaller and lighter than this, but not much, and they wouldn’t come close to the cleaning power of the Shark Stratos. But being a pet owner myself, and some of them (cats) being very hairy, I think I’m a good person to answer this survey. We have non-hairy pets too, in case you were wondering, the axolotl isn’t hairy, although he does have gills that look a bit like feathers, he lives in a tank anyway. The tortoise isn’t hairy, nor is the Armadillo. OK I lied about the Armadillo – but if we did have an Armadillo we’d probably call him Armadillon (the Axolotl is called Aristotle).For pets, I do think this is a great hoover. The pet tool is a stonking little thing, so good for purging the sofa and carpets of pet hair, and for cars too in theory although to be honest, I’m not someone who regularly hoovers their car. Shh, don’t tell anyone, OK you can tell my wife she already knows ;-). If you own pets, the pet version will suit you better; this particular model has a turbo pet brush, and it can be attached to the vacuum nozzle to better clean pets’ hair from upholstery, pet beds and carpeted stairs.
