Product Information

There’s no doubt that the Shark IZ251UKT is an attractive vacuum. We like the burgundy colour scheme, which looks great combined with the dark grey joints. It also feels well-built and durable, which is important for a premium vacuum.

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. 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. A bonus is that the IZ251UKT’s floorhead has Shark’s anti hair-wrap technology. This consists of several combs that prevent hair from becoming caught round the brush bar, so you don’t need to cut hair away from the roller. We don’t think it’s 100% effective, but it does a good job at forcing hair into the bin, especially if your vacuum has to deal with long hair. The IZ251UKT is the TruePet version of this vacuum cleaner range, meaning that it comes with a motorised pet tool. Aside from being excellent for cleaning hair on stairs, upholstery, and car seats, the pet tool has the same anti hair-wrap technology as the DuoClean floorhead.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 The Shark IZ251UK is very similar to the IZ251UKT, but doesn’t include the TruePet motorised tool. All of the other features are the same, including the dual battery design and anti hair-wrap technology.

At 4.1kg it’s fairly weighty for a cordless vacuum, with the weight split more or less evenly between the floor head and the vacuum engine, which is located up near the handle. 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.

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. For the price, the Shark Anti Hair Wrap with Flexology is a terrific vacuum cleaner.

If you can manage its weight and stiff handling on carpet, this Shark is an excellent buy. 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. 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.
