With the NZ690UKTDB, the floor head can’t be used in Lift-Away mode, so it can be tricky to get this vacuum cleaner under low furniture. Without the bulk of the bin on the wand, Lift-Away mode makes it easier to clean under furniture, on stairs or get into tight gaps. I reviewed the Shark Stratos NZ860UKT, although there’s also the NZ860UK available, which is identical but doesn’t ship with the mini pet tool.

Next, I moved onto the difficult edge test, where I sprinkle flour right up to the skirting board on carpet tiles.The Shark Stratos Pet Pro Anti Hair Wrap Plus Anti-Odour Upright Vacuum NZ860UKT is an upgrade over last year’s Shark NZ850UKT in more ways than one. Signature LED lights in the floorhead illuminate hidden dust and dirt so nothing is missed, while the long 8m cord gives you a total cleaning reach of 8.

As there’s only one power mode, I found that the NZ690UKTDB was capable of 238AW, which puts it only a little behind the Shark NZ860UKT but ahead of the Vacmaster Respira. uk/shark-parts-accessories/shark-anti-hair-wrap-upright-vacuum-cleaner-nz690-parts-accessories/" on this server.

An incredibly powerful vacuum cleaner with a lot of flexibility thanks to Lift-Away mode, the Shark Stratos Pet Pro Anti Hair Wrap Plus Anti-Odour Upright Vacuum NZ860UKT is the ultimate upright. As with the old Duo Clean, the floor head has a soft roller for hard floors and a brush for carpets. Newer Shark vacuum cleaners put the controls on the handle, within easy reach of a thumb, but the NZ690UKTDB is old school, with a solid red rocker switch that moves between three positions: off, hard floor and carpet.
