Shark Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner with Anti Hair Wrap, 40 Minute Run time, Flexible DuoClean Vacuum Cleaner with LED Lights, Dusting Brush, Crevice & Upholstery Tools, Orange, IZ201UK

Product Information

It’s worth noting how good the anti-hair wrap technology is, too. The soft roller has a comb that cleans itself as it goes, catching long hairs and sending them into the vacuum before they can wrap around the roller. Despite being tested in areas that collect a lot of hair, such as around dressing tables, the rollers on our test unit stayed tangle-free. Enjoy an amazing run-time of up to 40 minutes* per charge. The removable battery can be charged on or off the vacuum, wherever suits you. *In ION power mode, with non-motorised tool. With that said, we don’t think it can match the Dyson V11 Absolute when it comes to cleaning carpets. It’s better than most cordless vacuums, but fails to meet the high standards set by the very best models. It’s worth noting that the Shark is considerably cheaper than the Dyson V11 series though. If you’re looking for a powerful cordless that can handle pet hair, then the Shark IZ251UKT is definitely an option to consider. Shark IZ251UKT Price & Value for Money Measuring 260 millimeters in width, the vacuum cleaner is compact and maneuverable, making it convenient for reaching tight spaces and navigating around furniture. Its lightweight design adds to its ease of use.

There’s also the option of folding the vacuum for storage, which is useful if you want to keep the Shark in a small cupboard. When folded, the vacuum is approximately 70cm tall.How does the Shark compare to other premium cordless vacuums though? And should you buy it? Read our Shark IZ251UKT review to find out. Overview of the Shark IZ251UKT’s Features The IZ251UKT’s body feels bulkier than many cordless vacuums. It’s also a bit heavier (at around 4.1kg), which can make long cleaning sessions more tiring compared with ultra-lightweight models. The upside is that the vacuum has a 0.7 litre dust capacity, which is bigger than many cordless vacuums, and the motor provides powerful suction. Reach, store and charge anywhere. This flexible wand bends so you don’t have to, easily cleaning under low-lying furniture. Completely free-standing, fold down for compact storage at the press of a button. One of the stand-out features of the IZ251UKT is that it comes with dual batteries. By swapping the battery when it runs out, the Shark can offer up to 80 minutes run-time, which is one of the longest we’ve seen from a cordless vacuum. If you need a cordless vacuum that can clean an entire home on a single charge, then it’s a great choice.

The Shark cordless did a fair job in our standard cleaning tests. On hard floor, it collected 24g of a 26g spillage of Cheerios. The missing Cheerios were sent flying across the room by the enthusiastic soft roller, but that was nothing that couldn’t be sorted out by hunting them down afterwards. As with most Shark vacuum cleaners, the IZ251UKT has LED headlights. These help illuminate dust, dirt, and hair, particularly when cleaning under furniture. There’s also the option of switching to “hard floor” mode, which slows down the brush bar to prevent scattering. Other Tools and Accessories Another inconvenience of the Shark Anti Hair Wrap IZ201UKT is that it does not have an LCD display. It indicates the battery life with three bars. The LCD display of the Tineco PURE ONE S12, shows the battery life in percentage, making it more accurate and convenient. The device has a couple of main controls. A thumb switch on the top is used to turn the vacuum on and off and swap between hard floor and carpet modes. With carpet mode selected, the rollers spin faster to agitate the fibres more and clean deeper into the carpet. This doesn’t alter the suction, but you can give it a boost by pulling the trigger that sits just in front of your forefinger as you hold the handle. Flexology bends so you can reach, store and charge anywhere. Go handheld to easily clean stairs, sofas and in the car. Capturing and trapping dust and allergens, it’s perfect for allergy sufferers.

The Shark DuoClean IZ201UKT is a dry vacuum cleaner designed for cleaning bare and hard floors. Equipped with a filtration system, it effectively traps dust and allergens, making it suitable for people with allergies. The vacuum utilizes a cyclonic/filtering dirt separating method, eliminating the need for bags and allowing for easy disposal of collected dirt. With a dirt capacity of 0.4 liters, it requires regular emptying during use. If you have some areas that need deeper cleaning, the Shark Anti Hair Wrap IZ201UKT comes with a handy trigger that allows you to boost the suction power.

Powered by a battery, the Shark DuoClean IZ201UKT offers a runtime of approximately 40 minutes, allowing for extended cleaning sessions without the need for recharging. When it does require charging, the vacuum typically takes around 3.5 hours to reach its full capacity. We really like the IZ251UKT, as it combines many of the best features of Shark uprights with the convenience of a cordless vacuum. It also does an excellent job of cleaning hard floors and has a longer run-time than most competing models. If you don’t need the mini motorised tool, then the IZ251UK could save you a bit of money. Shark IZ201UKT Vs Shark IZ251UKT The Shark Anti Hair Wrap IZ201UKT has an average price, but offers above-average results. It comes with an anti-hair tangle feature, has a flexible tube, is equipped with headlights and has a main floor nozzle that is suitable for both hard floors and carpets.

The IZ251UKT is also brilliant for cleaning hard floors, pet hair, and staircases. It provides strong suction when in its regular mode, while the boost option is useful when you need some extra power. One of the great things about the IZ251UKT is that it comes with a dual battery cradle. This allows you to charge both batteries at the same time, which takes around 3.5 hours. You can also charge one battery while it’s attached to the vacuum, and there are three indicator lights to show you the current level of charge. This is easy to use – just hold the vacuum over a bin and press the latch – but it’s common for dirt and hair to get caught and need to be pulled out by hand. That’s why some high-end cordless vacuums (including the Dyson V10 Cyclone) now have a collar system for physically pushing out more dirt. However, the battery life isn’t anything particularly out of the ordinary. Shark quotes it at 40 minutes, although this is without the motorised floor head attached. In our tests, we found it lasted 22mins 34secs when tested on carpet with the motorised head attached, falling to 16mins 10secs in Boost mode. The Shark Anti Hair Wrap IZ201UKT has headlights on its floor nozzle that help you spot smaller dust particles on the floor. This addition is particularly helpful when vacuuming in dark areas. Together with the flexology feature, the headlights make it very convenient to properly clean under the furniture. The only minor inconvenience of the headlights is that you cannot turn them off while cleaning, and having the lights on the entire time drains the vacuum’s battery life. The Shark Anti Hair Wrap IZ201UKT would be better if it came with the option to turn off the headlights when cleaning in well-lit areas.The Shark doesn’t come with an LCD screen to show remaining battery time, such as the Dyson V11 Absolute. This isn’t an essential feature, but it’s great to be able to see the remaining charge on the Dyson V11, especially as it updates depending on which mode or tool you’re using. Relying on three LED lights on the Shark means you’re always wondering how much battery you’ve really got left. Using the motorised pet tool while in handheld mode makes cleaning stairs much more convenient than a corded vacuum. We also like how easy the wand makes it to clean higher locations, such as ceilings and light fittings. Glide from carpets to hard floors with Shark’s signature DuoClean floorhead. Anti Hair Wrap Technology actively removes hair from the brush-roll as you clean. As with other Shark Flexology vacuums, the extension wand has a bend in it, which serves two purposes. Release the clasp on the wand and you can clean under low-lying furniture without having to get on your hands and knees. The bright LED headlamps on the front help you see what you’re doing. Second, fold the wand all the way over and, cleverly, the vacuum supports its own weight, allowing it to be stored temporarily in a corner without you having to lean it against a wall.
