Shark corded is an absolute beast if you've got dogs that shed or just want something that will get up dust and shit you didn't even know was in your carpet (Plus they have hard floor switches on the handle so it moved from my dining room to kitchen easily af)

[~~This is the one I've got~~](https://www.briscoes.co.nz/product/1105642/shark-upright-corded-vacuum-nz801anz/)~~, but~~ Shark's quality across the board I've found to be fantastic. Edit: Sorry no, I've just realised I've got the previous model to this one. The 800 instead of 801. I'd say [this is the current equivalent](https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/HOMSHK0002/Shark-Navigator-ZU62-Pet-Vacuum-Cleaner-with-Self)

I've had two corded Sharks in the last 15 years and they are so fucking good for my heavy shedders, I cannot sing that brand's praises enough

Mine's over 25 years old now. Semi retired to car duties because the Shark NZ801 is so much better for Border Collie hair.

I have a Shark Duo that eats Border Collie hair. Retired my 25 year old Miele cat and dog. It would clog in 20 seconds.

I bought the Shark Classic Anti Hair Wrap Upright Vacuum NZ801UK . I cleaned all filters every week. Theres were always lots of blockages and after a month of buying it didn’t suck as hard. Now at 2 years it sparked and smells of fire. I bought this because i was toldd it sooo good as I have a dust allergy. Im still sneezing with irritated eyes even when I vaccum every 3 days

I have a shark upright [Shark NZ801UKT](https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394812736704) bought in August 2023 (just checked ebay) for £84.79 from "[Cheapest Electrical](https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/cheapestelectrical?_trksid=p4429486.m168239.l149267)' on Ebay. They sell refurbished returns. I could not tell it was not brand new. A great vac for the price. Impressive at picking up hair from the rug and has the lift-away bit for stairs. Easy to clean and has a nice long lead.

We have had the Shark Classic Anti Hair Wrap Upright Pet Vacuum NZ801UKT for 5 years and it's still going strong

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.
