Shark Bagless Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner [CZ500UKT] Dynamic Technology, Anti Hair Wrap, DuoClean, Flexology, Pet Model, Black & Copper

Product Information

Some nice features make it stand out. It is easy to use since the steel hose is telescopic. It collapses into the body and becomes a handheld duster perfect for using in the car or furniture. The Miele Cat & Dog is lighter and smaller than the Henrys, so it is easier to manoeuvre and store. But it is worth remembering that it has half the capacity, so be prepared for more trips to the dustbin. Forking out for more dust bags also adds to the cost of what is already a pretty pricey vacuum. Sebo have been specialising in vacuum cleaners for over thirty years, so you know a product by them is one you can rely on. Experts say what you should really be comparing is the output power, given in airWatts. This is calculated by multiplying two other measurements (told you this was complicated): For the remaining flour, I passed through again at the top on Turbo, and at the bottom on Eco mode. As you can see, both modes did equally as well.

At just 260 x 900 x 1180mm, the Shark CZ500UKT is a small cylinder vacuum cleaner. It looks great, though, with plenty of curves and rose gold details around the body. It weighs 7.99kg, which makes it quite a heavy cleaner overall – but that weight is across the body, tools and wand. The main body weighs just 4kg, making it quite easy to lift. The one downside to Henry is that he is rather on the bulky side, which may be a problem if you struggle to move larger vacuums or if storage space is limited. But for durability, versatility and the affordable price, Henry takes the crown as Mumsnet’s best cylinder vacuum cleaner. In an ideal world all vacuum cleaners would multiply these to give an output rating measured in airWatts. Sadly it is rarely available. Some manufacturers list waterlift (in mm), some airflow (in m 3/h), some nothing. We have listed whatever information is available to help you compare, but our assessment of the vacuum cleaners’ power is based on at-home tests and expert advice. The large 1.9-quart/ 1.6-liter dust cup is capable of holding a decent amount of dust and debris before it will need emptying, and the vacuum is equipped with foam, felt and HEPA filters. These work as part of the anti-allergen complete seal, which, according to Shark, will capture 99.9% of dust and allergens and prevent them from reentering the air.And to give reassurance to allergy sufferers, Shark’s Anti-Allergen Complete Seal captures and traps 99.9%** of dust and allergens inside the vacuum, so they won’t be released into the air.

There’s no getting around the fact that this vacuum is bulky, heavy and noisy but that’s the way with most upright vacuums. What you get in return is a machine which makes light work of pet hair, dust and crumbs on both carpets and hard floors. However, a cordless vacuum cleaner may not be the best choice if you have lots of carpet or a large area to clean. Corded upright and cylinder vacuums aren’t limited by battery life, and in most instances they have more powerful suction. Petrova also recommends looking for a vacuum with a HEPA filter, “as they provide the best method of filtration and traps even particles too small to see with naked eye.” You shouldn’t have to lift the CZ500UKT too often, though, since you’ll mostly be pulling the body around with you on its four wheels, cleaning with the DuoClean floor head. Dysons are expensive but I think they are excellent value for money and of all the hoovers I have had over the years the Dyson suction is second to none.” Brand recommended by Mumsnetter Flute56 Our verdictBesides the excellent suction power, you get Duo Clean action from 2 roller brushes working together to battle the most stubborn pet hair. The first roller is soft and helps work dirt up from hard floors. The second roller features lots of smaller brushes to beat the carpet free of pet hair and stains.

The length of the hose enables you to get into hard-to-reach areas, and up numerous steps on the staircase without having to move the cylinder often. The wand even offers enough reach to clean around your ceilings. The humble cylinder vacuum may not be as high tech as its cordless or robot counterparts, but it cleans just as well, if not better. Cylinder vacuums are typically more powerful and have a larger dust capacity, so need emptying less frequently. They also have a larger cleaning radius — the length of the cord — than upright vacuums. That’s why you’ll find the professionals use this type of vacuum cleaner in offices and hotels. Are cylinder vacuums better than upright? I also remember what it was like to have to dump an overfull vacuum bag. And the spills that would cause. To help, the Good Housekeeping Institute has rigorously tested models from all the major brands – Shark to Numatic to Miele – to find which cylinder vacuum cleaners are best for all needs and budgets.Dyson is famous for its innovative and well-designed vacuums. The Dyson multi-floor vacuum has so many small details considered that it is hard to beat as far as performance goes. So why didn’t it take the top spot for lightweight vacuums? It’s horrible having to detangle and cut out all the hair that’s caught in your vacuum brush head, but Shark’s innovative Anti Hair Wrap Technology removes hair so you don’t have to get out the scissors. The unique bristle guard removes long, short and pet hair as you clean – so that’s one less job for you to do. And bright LED headlights help make hidden dust more visible, so you’ll know exactly when your floors are clean. The Flexology wand is slim but sizable in length, and paired together with the full sized head, which you'll probably be using most often, it's nice and lightweight. I use it to easily get under sofas, beds, my desk and coffee table at home and you can also press a button and then bend it about halfway down to get even more reach. On the whole, I think the power levels with this vacuum are very impressive. I always feel like I've done a deep clean when I'm done with it, which is the main thing I want from my vacuum. It's quiet too, at just 78 decibels. There's a lot going on with the Shark DuoClean & Anti Hair Wrap Bagless Cylinder Pet Vacuum CZ500UKT; it's bursting with features, it has various power and suction settings and there are all of those aforementioned attachments that are now floating around in my flat.
