Shark AZ950UK, 750 W, 1.5 liters

Product Information

The Shark AZ950UKT is the heaviest of all the upright models, and with all the tools attached it comes in at 7.9kg. Without the tools, it is 7.5kg, but this is still a heavy piece of kit to have. This test is really simple and involves a decibel meter. This is placed three metres away from the floorhead of the vacuum cleaner. The machine is then switched on, and the sound is recorded. You can see the results in the table below. Noise ( Decibals)

Anti-Hair Wrap. All hoovers end up with loads of hair getting tangled in the roller which can affect suction power and its really annoying to have to get the scissors out and wrestle with it to get it out. Pet Power Brush. This particular tool only comes with the UKT model. It is not motorised, but it is still great at collecting hair and fluff from around the home. It’s small and efficient, and you can read about how handy we found it to be. This is another Shark with an 8m cord, and it is something I do find mildly disappointing. I would love to see a 10m cord for more convenience, but at least it isn’t as short as 5m.

Budget Sharks have fewer attachments and are made from lower-quality materials – but work better than most ordinary branded vacuums. Classic Sharks all use a similar motor but have varying attachments, warranty lengths and bin sizes. The newer lift-away Sharks boast the greatest number of features and extensions. While those with DuoClean's double brush system at the higher end offer a superior cleaning experience. This is one of the things we really like about Shark compared to Dyson, they give you lots of options so you can choose the one that works best for you and most importantly you don’t waste any money buying features that you don’t need or won’t use This cleaning test works a lot like the previous one for carpet. The difference is that we use a strip of a laminate floor (the UK’s top choice) for the test. The debris is collected after our 10-second pass, and the contents of the bin measured before the percentage is put in the table below. As you can see, it has the best results of any upright Shark vacuum cleaner and it does a stellar job. 100grams Mixed Contents inc fine dust(see notes) (low)Thankfully, it only requires you to push it in this form and when you decide to use the lift away feature it only weighs half the total weight. However, if you do need to lift it in its full form, just be wary of how much it actually weighs.

The Shark XL Anti Hair Wrap Upright Vacuum AZ950UK has been rated Shark's most powerful vacuum cleaner and boasts 25% more suction. x large floorhead with anti hair wrap brush, soft roller for hard floors and brush roller for carpets. This means that it will need to be emptied more often than the others, and it is smaller than normal for a corded upright. However, it is not quite a dealbreaker because of the other great features this model has. Shark continue to innovate and offer even more choice to accommodate the needs of every home with their large range of excellent vacuum cleaners and the AZ910 & AZ950 range of corded hoovers are no exception. The powered lift away also means you have more flexibility to clean under the furniture, get into tighter or lower spaces, and can even use the main floorhead on the stairs.

Next, the Shark AZ950UKT has a massive 1.6-litre bin. That will take an age to fill, so you can zoom around a large house without having to pause and empty. When you do empty, the bin lifts out easily, and there are flaps at the top and bottom to make it easy to get all dirt out without spilling any on the floor. Taking the bin off reveals one of the two washable filters, with the other under a flap at the front of the vacuum. The AZ950UKT also has a sealed system, and this means that the air pushed out of the machine is cleaner than what went in. It is pushed through the filter and then the exhaust, meaning that allergens get trapped in the filter on the way out and only clean air comes through the exhaust. The overall design of this model is pretty much the same as the rest of the upright Shark vacuum cleaners. This is not a bad thing because it’s a very sleek and compact design that makes storage simple and is also easy to move around. So, what exactly is the difference between theAZ950UK and AZ950UKT? The nice thing about Shark vacuums cleaners is that I can say there isn’t much difference at all.
