Product Information

The mess you make: If you live solo and spend very little time at home, you probably don’t need a cordless vacuum that’s been equipped with extra bells and whistles. But if you’re someone who lives with children or pets, you’ll probably need a higher-quality cordless vacuum that offers different features. Whether you want anti-wrap technology for pet hair or want a high level of suction for dinnertime crumbs, it’s essential to consider the mess you make when choosing a cordless vacuum. A good cordless hoover should provide a deep clean on all surfaces. That's why we tested the Stratos on hard floors as well as low and high pile carpets. 🧐 It delivered pretty consistent results on the flooring, leaving carpet – including on the stairs – tiles, and parquet clean. The DuoClean floorhead had a big part to play in this as it can easily transition across the various floor types, on which its twin bristle brushes work their magic. Anti Hair Wrap – a feature designed to stop hair accumulating around the brush roll – had some impressive results, too. This meant that neither human hair nor the hair of small furry housemates lodged itself around the brushes of the floorhead or the motorised pet tool. Alongside this, we have a Commercial team that works with the brands to secure exclusive discount codes. An exclusive code is an offer agreed upon by the brand that is the best in the market, it’s normally a limited-time-only offer so it’s worth snapping up when you see it. There are so many excellent products to redeem your Shark discount codes on. At Ideal Home, our top-rated vacuum is from Shark, the Shark ICZ300UKT Anti Hair Wrap Cordless Upright Vacuum Cleaner. It’s the perfect buy for those who want the ease of a cordless vacuum, but don’t want to compromise on power. Adept at handling pet hair and super versatile on the carpet and hard floors, there’s no better buy for your home in terms of value.

If you want to complete a deep clean in your home without having to empty your vacuum, then the Shark DuoClean & Anti Hair Wrap Bagless Cylinder Pet Vacuum CZ500UKT will be a brilliant choice for you. It's large capacity, easy to use controls and excellent suction power on carpets shone through doing our review process, which was completed by our eCommerce Writer Molly. Anti Hair Wrapoffers a self-cleaning brush roll thanks to an in-built comb. This removes pet and human hair before it gets the chance to get tangled. Before you start vacuuming, the dust container, batteries and all other parts must be correctly inserted. This wand has an articulating elbow that allows the vacuum to be folded up and stored upright, and it also allows you to more easily vacuum under low furniture. There’s a large display on top of the handle that shows the battery level and the power mode you’re using. Furthermore, the Shark vacuum cleaner is easy to manoeuvre around furniture and glides easily over the floor. This is mainly due to the two rollers on the left and right of the floor head and the movable joint.

Cordless but Powerful

Of course, this depends primarily on the height of the furniture. If your furniture leaves hardly any space below it, the Stratos more than likely won’t be able to clean under there. This model is also equipped with Clean Sense IQ technology. Automatically sensing the debris you can’t see, this clever function adjusts the power to clean up to 50% more dirt. An intelligent indicator in the floorhead illuminates the suction power, which increases to meet the demand of the task at hand and decreases again when the dirt is gone. Of course, we know you’re eager to find out how well the Shark Stratos performs in cleaning sessions. So we won’t keep you in suspense for long. How we test There is an individual option to adjust the cleaning head brush roller spinning power and suction level according to the carpet flooring, and three levels of suction settings were admirable when testing it on carpets. You don’t have to maximize the suction level at the maximum position while maintaining regular house cleaning jobs. The medium suction settings have enough power to clean away all types of messes from carpets, even hidden dirt from carpets’ bottom layers. Joe, our wireless vacuum expert on the Smart Home Fox team, has spent over half a decade meticulously testing every model that has landed with us.

DuoCleanis Shark's self-adjusting brush roll that automatically adapts to carpet and hard floor without you having to switch over.Shark claims that it has all the power of a corded vacuum cleaner but in cordless form, and after testing we couldn't agree more. It's got DuoClean which makes switching modes immensely straightforward, and the controls make it easy to see how much battery you have left. To charge, simply lift out the battery on the side of the dust tank and pop it into its charging port. There’s a large 0.7-litre bin on this model, which has an eject button to push open the flap at the front. As long as the Shark IZ420UKT was pushed into a bin, I could easily empty it without spilling dust everywhere. The IZ420UKT can transform into a handheld at the touch of a button. From floor to ceiling, you can clean a wide range of surfaces and narrow gaps with the DuoClean floorhead, Multi-Surface tool and crevice tool. There’s also a motorised pet tool which is specially designed to remove embedded pet hair from your soft furnishings. And, with Flexology, you can bend the wand to reach under low furniture such as beds, sofas, and coffee tables.

Of course, there are so many other cordless vacuums on the market, and many of them will work wonders on wooden floors. But after testing the Shark Stratos on both hardwood floors and carpets, our Ideal Home tester found this to be one of the best Shark vacuum cleaners. What type of vacuum is best for hardwood floors?She also loved the portable vacuum cleaner element that is accessible with just the push of a button. This is thanks to Powered Lift-Away which is super handy for using the suite of attachments to refresh upholstery or vacuum skirting boards. This performance even beats the Dyson Gen5detect, which left more Cheerios behind on a single pass across hard floor, although it, too, didn’t struggle to collect the remainder on a second pass. As you can see from our chart above, this isn’t as powerful as Dyson’s latest Gen5detect, and it falls behind the power of the cordless upright ICZ300UKT, though it is more powerful than the Hoover HF9. Featured in a striking charcoal grey and silver finish, the IZ420UKT from Shark is the perfect vacuum cleaner for busy homes. Dimensions & Weight Depth
