Glide through your chores with a new Shark cordless vacuum: It’s time to upgrade

With an impressive 60-minute running time, you don't have to worry about your vacuum running out mid-clean. The removable battery can be charged anywhere and it's easy to see how much battery life is left on the LED Smart Display, which also easily lets you switch between three suction and two floor-type settings. Some reviewers have said that the battery doesn't last a whole hour, with one reviewer specifying that the battery won't last 60 minutes if continuously using the highest setting; they said: "Only use the booster settings if and when needed, and for as little time as possible rather than every time you use the vacuum. It seems that this function may be draining the battery faster."

The best thing about this vacuum though, is the innovative design that digs deep into your carpet to pick up stubborn pet hair, agitating dirt in general for a deeper clean; one reviewer said: "Love the variety of ways it can be used and the upholstery tool works wonders on cat hair on the sofa!" It's also great on hard floors with a soft from brush-roll that draws in debris and lifts stuck-on dust. Customers describe it as light and easily manoeuvrable. It can also transform into a lightweight handheld vacuum and has an LED touchscreen. It's easy to go portable too with the Powered Lift-Away feature that makes it a doddle to clean hard-to-reach places, and with four attachments you can clean your whole home like a pro.

This slimline and ultra-lightweight 2-in-1 cordless cleaning system is super versatile and can transform from floor mode to handheld mode, to quickly and easily clean worktops, soft furnishings, up high, and of course, the floor. One reviewer said they loved the way the attachments snap on and release with the slide of a switch, and the way the vacuum reaches into corners none of the others would.

The floorhead attachment has Shark's exclusive Anti Hair-Wrap Technology which works to remove hair from the brush-roll as automatically as you clean so that you don't have to spend time pulling tangled hair out afterwards. This is great if you have pets; one reviewer said: "I looked after my daughter's cats for a year, about six years ago, thought I'd got rid of all the cat hair but the first few times I used my Shark, the container was full of cat hair!"

In handheld mode the vacuum boasts more suction power than any other handheld under 1kg, making it easy to effectively perform quick clean-ups with hardly any effort at all. The included Crevice Tool and Multi-Surface Tool make it ideal for cleaning worktops, soft furnishings, and car interiors. With the 'Grab and Go' function you can also enjoy up to 16 minutes' run-time (when it's in ION power mode, with the non-motorised tool).

Some reviewers have complained about the battery life; one customer review said: "It has around 12 minutes, which is enough to do a couple of rooms fairly thoroughly; in my three-bedroom house this equates to about one floor per charge." Another reviewer loved how lightweight and easy to carry around it is; they said: "I have two flights of stairs and find that I can finish one floor, put it back on to charge while I finish and it's ready to carry on to the next floor, cleaning the stairs as I go. After lugging around a Henry for 20 years, this is a dream."

This vacuum cleaner can do it all and will make household chores a breeze. It has Anti Hair-Wrap Plus Technology, Clean Sense IQ, Anti-Odour Technology, and can run for 60 minutes. If that's not enough it also comes with a car kit, as well as pet, crevice, and multi-service tools. One reviewer who has always been impressed with Shark vacuums bought his one as their house has three floors, and they found it was easy to use on stairs and lighter to move around the house with; they said: "The batteries last well, are easy to clean, lightweight and very effective." We love that the slim stick vacuum cleaner bends so you don't have to, making it really easy to clean underneath furniture. Plus, it's handy for being able to fold it down compactly for storing.

The Anti Hair-Wrap removes hair from the brush-roll as you clean so that you don't have to do it afterwards, and the newly enhanced brush-roll design is even better at picking up those pesky long and short pet hairs; one reviewer said: "The anti hair-wrap function actually works which is revolutionary in our house (filled with long-haired individuals)." A unique cartridge system also guards against dust cup odours that are commonly caused by pet hair, dust, and dander. With 'Clean Sense IQ Technology', up to five per cent more dirt is removed from your floors, with it detecting dirt you can't see and automatically boosting the cleaning power. There's a handy indicator in the floorhead that illuminates as the suction level changes.

The 'Duo-Clean' function allows the vacuum to go from carpets to hard floors, with two motorised brush-rolls working together in the one floorhead, saving you time and effort because you don't have to alter any settings or change accessories. With up to 60 minutes run-time you shouldn't have to take unnecessary breaks waiting for it to recharge either. This work when in eco power mode and when using the non-motorised tool.

With the removable battery pack you can choose whether to charge on or off the vacuum too, so there's no interrupting to your cleaning when you're in the flow. However opinions are mixed when it comes to the battery life; one reviewer pointed out that it won't charge until the battery is at 0 per cent, meaning they couldn't have a break while it recharges and then start again when it's at 10 per cent charge. They found this made timing things "a bit of a pain".

This is a really handy vacuum for quick clean-ups that will look good sitting on your countertop without taking up too much space with its small footprint. It is lightweight, compact, and powerful, and can instantly remove crumbs, dust, and pet hair from kitchen worktops, sofas, or car seats. It has a quick-charge base, plus the dust cup opens with one touch. One reviewer warns that it's easy to press the 'bin release' button instead of the 'on' button though, due to the positioning of the buttons; they said: "I've done that a few times and emptied the contents back all over the floor," so this is something to watch out for. But overall they thought it was a great item and have already recommended it to their mum.

You can get up to eight minutes of run-time when fully charged, which doesn't sound like a lot. However, one customer describes it as a very handy piece of kit, saying: "I was worried about the battery life initially but it's plenty long enough to whip around the car or house getting those lumps of pet hair or crumbs." A few customers have also said that the suction wasn't as strong as expected, but that it works well as intended for quick spot cleans. One customer said: "Gets cat hair off my sofa in seconds! Best handheld I’ve owned and I’ve owned a few."

This is a clever vacuum with four deep-cleaning technologies: it can sense hidden dirt that you can't see, identify edges, adjust automatically to your floor type, and even light up darker areas so you don't miss anything. With the QuadClean multi-surface-brush roll it won't miss a crumb - perfect when there are kids in the house. Plus, Shark states that the Anti-Allergen Complete seal traps 99.9 per cent of dust and allergens. Just watch out for the dust box as one customer reports that it has a small tendency to open when in use.

It has anti hair-wrap technology so you don't have to faff about afterwards removing tangled hair from the brush-roll. The machine is powerful but lightweight meaning it's easy on your wrists, and it quickly transforms into a handheld vacuum for convenience when switching to do stairs, furniture, and awkward spots. Do your whole house or car in one clean sweep with up to 60 minutes of run-time on a full charge, although one reviewer points out that the battery doesn't last long if you have it on full power all of the time.

Overall people like this vacuum for being lightweight and highly portable; one customer said: "it's lighter than a Dyson, and easier to empty." In terms of performance, one reviewer describes the suction as amazing, saying it brings up the pile of a 25-year-old carpet; they also said: "I have a three-bedroomed house and have had no problem vacuuming the whole house on the same charge."

This vacuum really does make housework easier. It automatically empties and charges after every use; you simply dock it in the base, into which the dirt is emptied. It'll hold on to dirt and debris for up to 30 days without any nasty pongs. One reviewer thought the auto empty was a bit of a gimmick, but says it works very well and admitted it encourages more frequent usage for smaller areas. Do note that you do still have to empty the base yourself - this isn't a robot that takes the dirt out to the bin for you.

You can check the LED display to make sure you have enough battery to finish your job and check what cleaning mode you're on, and it'll alert you to dirt detection. It is suitable for all floor types and boasts four deep-cleaning technologies, as well as anti hair-wrap. This means your vacuum will sense hidden dirt, identify room edges, adjust to different surfaces by itself, and remove hair from the brush-roll so you don't have to.

With around 60 minutes of run time you'll be able to whip around the whole house in one go, and because it has a powerful motor but is lightweight, it'll be easier on your wrists than some heavier vacuums. Swap quickly over to handheld mode for stairs and furniture for a seamless cleaning experience, and use the duster crevice tool in your car for a deep clean. One reviewer found it extremely lightweight in all functions and said that it converts easily from upright to handheld; they said: "I like that it doesn't have to be fixed to a wall to charge, so I can easily move it to suit my circumstances or home changes." They pointed out that it was easy to empty and take apart to clean, but they wished the battery life was longer, despite the fact that it did do their whole flat on a full charge when they whipped around quickly. They said it doesn't come with the upholstery tool though, this has to be purchased separately. However they said it's worth it as it isn't expensive. You do get the crevice tool included with the vacuum.

This handheld vacuum is fast, easy, and cordless. It quickly removes dust, debris, and pet hair from all surfaces. It includes three attachments: a motorised pet tool, dusting brush, and crevice tool. It has a 10-minute running time so perfect for quick jobs; one customer said: "The carpet function is so powerful that I have to use on minimum setting otherwise it doesn’t glide across the carpets."

We love it for hard-to-reach places like curtains and quick spot-cleaning for spilt crumbs or removing visible pet hair from the sofa before guests arrive. With up to 10 minutes of run time you can easy get quick jobs done, the quick-release button allows you to empty the dust cup easily ready for the next use, and it has a washable filter to ensure easy cleaning and suction that lasts.

The selection of tools makes this handheld versatile, and customers love it for cleaning car interiors. The motorised pet tool is great from removing any embedded pet hair too; one reviewer describes it as "a brilliant vacuum with great suction, and I like the lights which really help to highlight areas." They did point out that: "one downside is that hair and cotton get stuck in the brush very easily. But over all it is a fantastic hoover I would definitely recommend it."

This cordless vacuum boasts powerful suction on both carpet and hard floors as well as anti hair-wrap technology. One customer notes that this Shark was a little noisier than the equivalent it replaces, but that it is more powerful and works really well. The vacuum can also turn into a lightweight handheld vacuum making it easier to clean hard to reach places. "The Shark is just so easy to use," says one reviewer; "the fact you can take the handle or the longer down pipe off the main unit and use it as a spot cleaner is just so easy. Our old Shark didn't have the anti hair-wrap so this is a great improvement."

However, another customer felt the vacuum wasn't very good for long-haired pets; they said the Anti Hair-Wrap didn't work for them and they found the suction wasn't great. They also found that the machine often overheated and cut out when in lift mode for the stairs.

The vacuum has an LED touch screen and includes one battery, a charger and three tools, as well as a five-year warranty. You can get a good hour of run time to clean your whole house in one go, and customers have said that the battery life is "exceptional". However, this is only true when you use the recommended settings. One customer pointed out that in their experience it went from full charge down to 70 per cent in just five minutes when vacuuming one room; they said: "by the time I had done the hall stairs and landing it was down to five per cent." So it's important to consider that the battery run-time will be compromised if using the high power settings. Another thing one customer said was that they expected to be able to use their spare batteries from their old Shark, but the battery cases have been changed which means you can't. This may be something to keep in mind if you are upgrading.
