Shark, AZ910UK

Product Information

I've got the cordless anti-wrap as I have long hair and thought this would be the answer - I love it.” Rated by Mumsnetter mommybear1 Our verdict We review the Shark AZ910UK DuoClean Vacuum Cleaner with Powered Lift-Away and Anti-Hair Tangle Tech Do be aware though that the Lift-Away can be a bit unstable when left to stand up by itself and it does occasionally topple over. However, Alison also found that other vacuums she tested with a lift-away function – the Hoover H-Lift 700 and the Vax Air-Lift Steerable Pet Max – also had this problem.

I have the corded anti hair wrap and love it! Much prefer a corded hoover but that's personal preference.” Recommended by Mumsnet user Mamascoven Our verdict The 2-in-1 Crevice and Dusting Tool. This is the perfect tool for reaching tight corners and gaps as well as for delicate surfaces (the dusting brush). I actually quite like using the dusting brush on my kitchen floor – it works wonders. If you have allergies and a pet owner, like all Shark uprights its definitely a great model to go with, but this would be on the basis you live and a medium to larger sized home with stairs and a home thats mainly carpeted. We were even able to use the AZ910UKT on the stairs with ease thanks to the Powered Lift-Away mode. Overall, we were impressed on all levels with what we think is Shark’s best-corded vacuum yet. The hose is 1.6m in length, which is the same as the larger AZ950, but I do also miss the massive 2.15m hose that you got with the NV602 and NV702. Cleaning PowerFinally, a note about hair tangles. Even after cleaning the trouble areas (in front of the hallway mirror and in the bedroom), the DuoClean head remained tangle-free. Moreover, the easy-to-empty collection bin was full of hair that would have otherwise been left for me to untangle and cut away from the brush head of a regular vacuum cleaner. Shark AZ910UK review conclusion Even with all the different setups available, the Shark AZ910UKT is intuitive to use. The buttons to release components are obvious and user-friendly, and it’s straightforward to use the Powered Lift-Away design.

You can also remove the wand altogether and use the dirt canister section on its own. It’s portable and much lighter like this, and you can attach the tools straight onto the handle or hose for ultra-compact cleaning. While it’s a great feature, the canister tends to topple over if you don’t hold it, which is somewhat inconvenient.They’re both pet models with the same attachments and features, so the main difference comes down to styling. The AZ910UKT is grey and rose gold, whereas the NZ801UKT is orange and navy. There’s also some minor changes to the casing on the floorhead and dirt canister. As as result, there’s no loss of suction whether using the vacuum as a traditional upright or as a portable, something that really impressed us in testing. How well does the Shark DuoClean Powered Lift-Away Anti-Hair Wrap Plus vacuum carpets? A brush-roll indicator on the left side of the DuoClean floor head will tell you if the brush-rolls are spinning as they should. Green is good while red indicates a jam.

The Lift-Away simply adds extra versatility so that the vacuum can also be used as a handheld, which is especially useful for multi-storey houses with large staircases – the Shark was tested in a house with a total of 10 rooms over two storeys. Bagged/bagless: Bagless | Capacity: 0.99 litres | Weight: 7kg | Run time: N/A | Charging time: N/A | Included tools: Upholstery tool, 2-in-1 duster crevice tool What we like In terms of dust capacity, the AZ910UKT has a meagre 0.84 litre maximum. For context, the Hoover Breeze Evo has a whopping 3 litre dirt canister. There are even cordless vacuums with similar capacities to the AZ910UKT, so be prepared to empty it often.The Lift-Away part can either be positioned on the stairs (or the floor, if you’re vacuuming upholstery, for example) or held using its integrated carry handle.
