Shark's Anti-Wrap technology looks to make this a problem of the past, and so far, we're pretty impressed.So, if you’re looking for the best carpet vacuum cleaner, the HZ500UK isn’t the one to choose. But if you’re happy to accept average cleaning performance in return for great hard floor cleaning (see next section) and advanced features, then it’s an option to consider. Hard Floors In its handheld mode, it can accept any of the supplied accessories, which include a crevice tool, a multi-surface tool (an upholstery nozzle with a clip-on brush) and, in the TruePet version, the pet hair tool. This latter device is motorised by using a turbine, powered by the suction of air through the vacuum, rather than using its own electric-powered motor. Its rotating “brush” uses rubber flaps instead of bristles, to help reduce hair tangle. 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 overall deeper clean meant we were left with a room that not only looked clean, but smelt and felt cleaner too.

The Shark HZ500UK is an average carpet cleaner. While it isn’t terrible on carpets, we don’t think it can match the cleaning performance of more powerful upright vacuums. A feature on many of their new vacuums, Shark's Anti-Wrap technology gathers hair at the base of the vacuum, allowing it to be drawn straight into the cylinder. No, the HZ500UK is the basic version of this vacuum cleaner and doesn’t come with a pet tool. You’ll need to spend more to get the HZ500UKT (known as the True Pet version) to get this extra accessory. VerdictReach, clean and store anywhere. The flexible wand bends so you don’t have to, easily cleaning under furniture and folding down for compact, freestanding storage. The combination of the two also leads to a deeper clean which was instantly noticeable, as rugs and carpets looked cleaner and brighter. We were pretty impressed with this, and since we started testing the HZ500UK, there's been no need for fiddly cutting away, or detangling. It boasts a HEPA filter which "traps small particles and pet dander, making it excellent for allergy sufferers". In practice, we’ve found this isn’t 100% effective, as some hair still gets caught. The technology certainly reduces tangled hair by a lot, however, making it a useful bonus if you have pets or family members with long hair.
