I'm a big Shark fan - customer service is superb and they will send replacement parts or whole new appliances if parts aren't available. Great design (for access to clean/blockages etc.) and well built I think I've got the same Pet model and would replace it with same if it failed in an instant
My Shark Pet was on offer £149. it's pathetic now. Got a Screwfix Titan builders one. noisy as anything, bought a better pole/brush off ebay and it's amazing. £48 in total.
At the moment, I own a Shark upright which I have had for a couple of years. If it broke today, I would purchase a Shark upright again, no hesitation. The build quality is excellent, the dust bin is adequate, the suction is unbelievable.
Ours is an NV602UKT. We've got two hairy dogs and it's great for hard floors, or carpet (switch on the handle). Gets the hair up fantastically well. We did have a problem with a motor running the main roller, but the machine is modular, so you can buy the sections you need from Shark without attempting to rip it apart and doing more damage. Also great for stairs as various bits detach as you choose so you don't need to haul the whole things around. Downside.... It's pretty damn heavy.
Relatives keep giving me out of warranty stuff to clean/unclog. I had a NV602UK to unclogg and untangle as the roller kept getting stuck, the roller part was hard to take apart. Torx screws with security bits are a bit burdensome, but that could have been on some vax's that I were unclogging at the same time.
We have a shark and a Henry. We have far more issues with the shark gradually getting clogged with pet hair in one of the pipes but it’s relatively straightforward to completely dismantle if need to. Henry is absolutely a clunky bugger but he continues to reign supreme imo
I had both at the same time ironically. Ended up selling Henry, the shark is still in my house now 4 years later. I love it so much. No bags, easier to maneuver mostly, easier to store, no fishing accidental swallowed items through bags, easy floor type control and suction control, and best of all, my Shark really does handle pet hair with ease. I will forever be a Shark woman now. https://sharkclean.co.uk/product/shark-classic-upright-pet-vacuum-nv602ukt-zidNV602UKT?tracking=searchterm:Pet+hoover - I got the pet one and it handles my kids "house decorating", and pets hair perfectly.
Agreed. Have a shark and we do this regularly.
Shark upright. Animal Central here and it is a great yoke
Ya that's it I think. I paid more than that though and I have it years 😬. The hose cracked on it from a kid using it aggressively and I couldn't find a replacement anywhere so I got onto Shark UK and they were all apologies and sent out a new one foc! Had it about 4 years at this stage. That really impressed me
Not entirely true. We have the shark pet vac, bag-less. We’ve had it for 9 years now and no issues!
UPDATE: so we decided to buy a Shark light pet (I think that’s at least half the name). It’s actually very easy to use, simple, and was so good at cleaning our carpets from pet hair! The spot where their dog lays every night and day was cleaned in one run over- something that even my own vacuum takes a few tries to get fully clean. Only downsides are it’s a bit heavy but hey- good for older folks who need some strength in their day and it’s also very loud but again- they’re old and losing their hearing so I guess that doesn’t matter to them LOL Anyways, I’d highly recommend the Shark pet vacuums!
