Shark - Anti Hair Wrap Corded Stick Pet Vacuum HZ500UKT

I have a Shark Flexology Anti Hair Wrap Pet. It gobbles up shit tonnes of cat hair and is very easy to clean.

Yeah I was a bit sceptical too, but I've had it two years and it's been great. Make sure you get the corded version though, it needs the power!

I have this one too and it’s fantastic

I live my shark! I have the corded stick one. It’s great for a small house.

our Shark is still going strong after 6 or 7 years. I have made it a habit to clean it quite often. We have 2 other shedding beasts along with our corgi. So, by often, I mean I vacuum every other day. So I clean the vacuum after every use. Outside of coarse. I need to buy stock in the compressed air can company.

If you really need to clean carpets, you need corded. None of the cordless options in your price range are going to properly clean a carpet. The shark corded sticks - avoid avoid avoid. They block up for fun. You'll be cleaning the filters constsntly to maintain suction. Of your above choices, the hoover upright is the best one. If you want to save more money, get a vax air. They are relatively cheap, and while they lack a lot of the fancier features, they clean carpets very very well. They have aggressive brushes which agitate and groom surprisingly well for the price.

I appreciate the relatively long back and forth your question spawned…. The real answer is I didn’t spend enough time to check. We’ve since moved to a new place with multiple floors and more laminate flooring than carpet so we ended up getting a new Shark corded stick vacuum for a bit over $100 on clearance. It’s half the weight and way easier to slog up and down stairs.

A stick vacuum isn't going to be effective for thoroughly cleaning carpeting. It is okay for quick pickups but that is about it. I had a Shark corded stick vacuum for 6 years as my main vacuum and it didn't clean my carpeting well at all. I have a corded Shark Stratos now. It does a way better job than the Shark stick vacuum. However, my next vacuum will be a bagged machine. I hate washing the filters and emptying the dust cup.

Corded shark stick vac. Not as powerful but man they're easy to move around. I also have a more powerful shark that's a traditional canister. Not as easy to move around but the suction is noticeably stronger.

I’ve used my sister’s Dyson and own Sharks. I prefer my Sharks. We have a cordless stick, a corded stick (used the most), and a Liftaway. They all work really well, I just got sick of hauling the Liftaway up and down stairs so we got the correcting.

We have 5 cats and foster 5-7 more at all times. Tons of hair, dust, cat litter on carpet and on wood floors, not to mention the people mess added to that. We have two bagless Shark corded ultralight vacuums with the pet hair roller - zero hair gets wrapped around it. We have had them for three years (one upstairs and one downstairs,) and I have never had to cut hair off the roller, which was about once a week with the Dyson, even with their pet brush. Tons of pick up power. I use them daily and no issues with either one. The filters are cleanable, but I replace them about twice a year for about $25 for each vacuum. Best vacuum I have ever had. I replaced a similar Dyson vacuum with these two, and these have much more power, are lighter, more maneuverable, and cost me less for both than for the one Dyson($699 compared to $299 each.) I replace a Miele (around $600) with the Dyson about two years before that. The Dyson was better than the Miele, but the cutting hair off the roller absolutely sucked - same issue with the Miele. Even with tons of attachments, $1200 for a non robot vacuum is ridiculous.

shark duel pet ain’t in here good. don’t buy it. terrible suction power and doesn’t do 2in1 job well

I have a shark but I can't think of the model but I feel like it was specifically for pets. I have a long haired german shepherd, and it works well even with her fur. My last vacuum was regularly jammed by her fur.

I’ve had a corded shark pet vacuum for probably 9-10 years. It still works great. I definitely recommend a shark.

I don't recommend shark. We bought it, it's alright, but we still use our corded shark for the heavy lifting.

Corded Shark, I got my second one after 10 years. We have dogs, cats and kids. It does very well, would recommend.

I have a corded Shark. It sucks... but in a good way.

You may get different answers, but I don't think so. I've got a shark now, and don't find it works any differently than my old dyson, and it was quite a bit cheaper. I prefer corded models though, so not sure about other models.

I’m in sort of of the same boat. My wife trains service dogs and we have 5 dogs (and 3 kids) in the house. Also, because 5 dogs, my back yard is a mud farm and everything is coated in a layer of dirt. We have a tinneco pure 1 (it’s a stick vacuum with a base compartment). We vacuum the main part of the house where the dogs are (living room, laundry, entry, kitchen dining room). The living room really is the place we vacuum, 3-4 times a day but everything listed gets hit at least once a day (maybe twice in rainy days). We decided that making vacuuming convenient was more important than doing it super well (cause let’s face it, it’s gonna be dirty again in 5 minutes) and reliability took a back seat to convenience. So for us convenience > reliability > performance. We didn’t think ANY vacuum would make our floors 100% clean, so we didn’t try. Just get them 80% and but clean often. Then we mop probably every day or every other day…..(why do we have this many dogs again?) THEN we keep a corded shark in the basement where we keep their kennels. The shark is 5 years old and it sucks up everything but it’s heavy, so it stays in the basement) we also use this one to vacuum their kennels. We found that doing some work on our yard and cleaning the dogs as they come in, helped a ton. We still haven’t found a great solution yet. I rambled a lot. If you have any questions or suggestions for us. Let me know.

Got one. Thought it was pretty good. Suction started getting worse and worse. Had to replace dust door gasket. Paper filter became uncleanable after a while. After many complaints my ex finally went and bought a cheap ass Shark corded vac that was very similar. Difference was dramatic. Shark got lots of crap Ryobi couldn’t handle. This happened over about two years so it probably worked ok out of the box.

I have a shark corded for a few years now. Very happy with it. Just make sure you clean the filters regularly and maintain it and they're fantastic, same goes for most vacuums ,most go to shite cos people don't maintain them properly

I've had two Ryobi stick vacs for several years. I don't know whether the design has changed, but the part on the end of the brush is plastic, and as it spins it generates heat and starts to melt, and then gets noisy and smelly. I only feel safe using it for several minutes at a time. I have two precisely because they sent me another one when the first one had this problem. I feel like I may have replaced the head a second time already. Would NOT buy again. I love my corded Shark.

I just got a shark for my new apartment, but when we actually get a house we'll probably go with a sebo. Finally did upgrade to a corded though, lol.

Yeah my corded Shark is a beast! It’s been going strong for many years now. Longest I’ve ever owned a vacuum cleaner.

My experience is similar but not fair. My brother has a Dyson battery powered and he swears by them. So he buys a new one every four years or so. We had our first coffee shark for at least ten years. I shopped for months last year between Dyson, shark, Mielle, and another he and like Mielle I cannot remember their name. Anyway, after using them all it came down to a formula from my Public policy class - I could get almost 90% of the performance from a shark for only $249, or spend $700 for 100%. I was willing to spend up to $1000 but it just didn’t make sense. Shark gets everything I need at a fraction of the cost.

Shark Cordless (don’t remember model number but was great on hardwood, horrible on the rugs). We also tried variety if stains (cordless and corded) from friends and they all failed. Currently we’ve gone back to a 10+ year old corded shark that performs ok, not great. But very heavy and cumbersome. Main floor for house is 50/50 hardwoods and rugs. Rugs are thin bc they are all washable (pets). Upstairs is wall to wall carpet but gated off to keep pets downstairs. Budget…honestly anything at this point. I guess I’d like to keep it under $700 but at this point I really don’t even care. We haven’t tried any canisters, open to that is they aren’t too cumbersome, I have RA, so easy to maneuver is pretty important.

I love my corded Shark vacuum. I just bought a new one after the one I had for 8yrs broke. Tho old one still works but the hose finally cracked. I could have rigged it with tape but I honestly wanted an excuse to buy another lol

I also got the corded one and I love it.

Everyone here saying they love their LG CordZero but I can’t stand mine. But then again I haven’t had anything to compare to in the cordless stick vacuums area. My simple Shark corded vacuum I use on carpets is just so much better and easier to use. But it’s not as convenient as the cordless sticks. I was about to buy a Dyson V10 from Costco that’s on sale for $399. Maybe I’ll reconsider

I love my shark! It's been great with 2 dogs & 1 cat. Mine is corded and I will never go back to cordless. I vacuumed 3 times when I first got it because it was just filling up, I was so embarrassed.

I've always found them to be hype. Used to have a Dyson corded that I got from my dad second hand. it was good, until I decided to replace it with a Shark corded. The first time I used the shark, you'd have thought I'd never hoovered the carpet, honestly the amount of engrained hair and dust it pulled out was insane in comparison to the Dyson which looked like it was doing a good job, it's not that it didn't pick anything up but I would say the recovery rate was probably 65% in comparison to the shark. I then bought the shark stick handheld and was using that but when I split with my ex it stayed at the house. My new partner has a Dyson V8 and it's crap in comparison, there is stuff I know my shark would of picked up easily and the Dyson struggles. I also have a V7 my dad gave me which I just replaced the battery on as that had got to the point where it would only run for 30seconds before switching off so will see how it is with the new battery but tbh don't hold high hopes.

I LOVE the Shark corded vacuum. Easiest to clean, switch out parts, consistent suction, power not limited by battery. Win-win!

I have both. We live on a small farm with kids and a dog so lots of vacuuming! We use the cordless stick for quick messes like crumbs or dog hair and then the Shark corded for regular twice a week vacuuming. With the Shark make sure you clean the air filter every couple weeks or it starts to lose alot of suction. I actually have a rainbow vacuum too that I had previous to any of the others but it's so heavy and burdensome I rarely use it.

Really like the dyson cordless! Didnt buy the fanciest. Bought a shark corded and absolutely hate it after using the other.

We’ve got a corded shark and it’s amazing and has lasted 5 years and still going strong. We also have a Dyson but feel the shark cleans the carpets better 

I bought a corded shark to replace an aging Dyson animal and it was way better, just the bog standard £120 lift away one.

Same with me. Had a cord break but had been running great until then. Replaced it with another Shark

Get a Shark. So much better than a Dyson as a fraction of the cost and their attachments use synthetic bristles. We had a top of the range cordless Dyson and we’ve had multiple corded Dysons and they’ve all been terrible. This corded Shark one I’ve got now is amazing, most powerful vac I’ve ever used. In general I’d avoid cordless vacs unless you live in a tiny place, otherwise it won’t even clean your full house before it needs charging.

I have a Dyson V10 cordless. I had a shark cordless forget the name but it was the top range 2-3 years ago, and that was better then the Dyson. I have now got a shark corded vacuum, going back to corded was and unbelievably eye turning move, I will never get a battery vac again unless it's a robot vacuum, but I can highly recommend shark in general, but I would recommend corded over battery as the power difference and pickup on high pile carpet is much better

I second this. We have a corded shark and it is great. We bought the LG chargeable vac and it was awful. Wouldn't pick up the litter at all.
