Shark PowerDetect Corded Stick Vacuum Cleaner, DuoClean Detect, Reverse Clean, Anti Hair Wrap Plus, Anti-Allergen, Lightweight, Pet, Crevice & Upholstery Tools, 10m Cord, 0.3L, Dark Teal HZ4000UKT

I am super pleased with the cleaning power of this corded stick vacuum cleaner . Don't be put off by comments about the smallness of the dust reservoir, I found it easy to detach and empty . It's a lot heavier than my previous cleaner and I did wonder whether it would be suitable for me, 81 years old , but I'm very happy with it The attachments are easy to get on and off, a big plus when lacking stregnth in wrists and hands The power is quite exrtaordinary, it literally pulls you along so there is no pushing effort involved , so make sure you have no stray cables lying on the floor in it's path !!! I decided to replace my old cordless cleaner , which no longer held it's charge, with this corded cleaner , and I'm pleased with it's extra long cable It would be better if the cable was more pliable and flexible , it's very unwieldy , very stiff , but that's my only complaint It was a breeze putting it all together

Light, easy to manoeuvre, powerful and really good.

I absolutely love this vacuum cleaner! I’ve had many Shark vacuums before including the cordless Stratos x2 and this is way better. The suction is fantastic on both hard floors and carpets. I am a vacuum fiend and this is by far the best I’ve had in over 40 years. Don’t hesitate. It is tall, so you may struggle if you’re on the smaller side height wise. Cable long and sturdy. Cleans right up to the edges. Love the light as well. The only negative is a very very small capacity dust container. Ridiculously small. You need to empty it after every clean but it is super easy to do and I am getting used to it. All in all fabulous. Well done Shark.

Just bought this Shark to replace a cordless Vax (I have has 2 Vax's). I have found cordless vacuums to be less than adaquate, their suction is much reduced, and power to clean carpets is not as great. The Shark however is a much better cleaner, it glides easily over hardwood and carpet changing automatically and clean very well, also it does have a scent pod which is nice, but not essential. The only drawback is the cord, its very stiff and not easy to wind back on for storage. That said its still 100% better than the cordless. Its well made and robust, i like the ability to clean under furniture and use as a hand set. Its noticable that its picking up more, and also very easy to empty

I previously had the HZ500UKT but it returned it under its warranty, despite there being no blockages it was not picking up dirt like it used to. I'm at the age where household appliances are exciting (don't judge!!) and as soon as this arrived I opened it up like I was a kid at Christmas, packed well and each part carefully padded, was very easy to set it up and used it straight away. Now I hover multiple times a week, and using this one for the first time it was pretty gross just how much dirt it picked up from each room - its done a great job. The only reason I didn't get another HZ500UKT model was because the HZ4000UKT power detect was on offer and cheaper. If you're on the fence get this one. As mentioned in the description it has a 10m mains power cord, which is great because I can plug it in my hall downstairs and do all the rooms upstairs without having to mess around unplugging it. Also comes with some good brush and hose attachments.

It is definitely a very powerful vacuum cleaner that does its job and I am very happy with it, but it is really heavy, it does not maintain its vertical position and the cable, although I could find an explanation due to the power it has, is still much too rigid, which is why I gave it 4 stars.

Overall the hoover is pretty good. The suction is powerful, the auto recognition of hard/carpet flooring is great and the ability to get under furniture etc. For the life of me i can not understand why they designed a hoover that can not stand-up upright, meaning you have to lay it flat when you're moving items to hoover, secondly the cable is the worst i've ever experienced on any device, so rigid and you constantly have to battle with it and untagle it. If it wasn't for these design faults it would get 5 star

I will start with a negative, i do find the electric cable so hard to work around, it is so rigid. no flexibility in it at all. And i find it so long, but then that must work for some people. i did also hope that it would, using the bending facility on it, clean under my sofa, but my sofa is still too low, but that is not the hoovers fault, and i can live with that. but putting those issues aside, i have two shark hoovers now, and they both do a fantastic job, CANNOT fault the cleaning. they are the best hoovers i have had, and i have had a few. would never buy an other brand.
