Shark Stratos Corded Stick Vacuum Cleaner [HZ3000UKT] Anti Hair Wrap Plus, Anti-Odour, Pet Pro Model, Black/Chrome

Product Information

For pets, I do think this is a great hoover. The pet tool is a stonking little thing, so good for purging the sofa and carpets of pet hair, and for cars too in theory although to be honest, I’m not someone who regularly hoovers their car. Shh, don’t tell anyone, OK you can tell my wife she already knows ;-). However, while useful, most of them aren't unique. You'll find similar features across most other brands, just with more conventional names.

An indicator in the floorhead illuminates to show the suction level, lighting up as the suction increases and automatically decreasing again when the debris is cleared. As with most of the brand’s cordless models, it comes with LED light in the floorhead to help illuminate small particles of dust and pet hair. It also has an LED screen which displays battery status and suction level. I thought I’d share my overall thoughts on the HZ3000UKT so far, and then go into all of the features, stats, and so on – and add my commentary where I think it’s warranted. The reason they refer to this as “Anti Allergen” is that there are various allergens (pollen probably the most obvious one) that are filtered out, so by having a complete seal these allergens won’t be dragged out from being embedded in carpet fibres for example, where presumably they weren’t doing much harm, and being pumped in the air to be inhaled.I make no apologies for wearing out jokes that weren’t even funny the first time, I’m a dad, it’s my job.

Additionally, the Shark hz500uk has a HEPA filter that captures 99.97% of dust, allergens and pet dander, making it a great choice for households with allergies or asthma. As I said, the duo clean floor head is the winner on all types of cleaning tests; the Powerfins brush roll on the vacuum effectively prevents pet and human hair from wrapping around the brush roller.Another dad joke coming… This isn’t a tool for motorised pets, they don’t tend to have much hair, it is of course a motorised tool for dealing with pet hair, and it’s another great feature. OK Shark aren’t the only vacuum cleaner brand to have this feature, but I do particularly like their pet tool. For me it’s just the perfect size for stairs, and it turns the Shark Stratos into a very powerful handheld (when you remove the wand) for hoovering cars, sofas and so on. Note, this Shark HZ500UK is undoubtedly well performer for hard floors but not ideal for mostly carpeted houses. We rated it 4.2 out of 5 according to its overall cleaning effectiveness on different carpet types. Also, it has no height setting to adjust the cleaning head for different pile types. Is the Shark hz500uk better for pet hair? Additionally, the Shark pet version is equipped with a wide range of attachments and accessories, including a crevice tool, dusting brush, and pet turbo brush, making it easy to clean tight spaces, hard-to-reach areas, stairs and upholstery. There are some great Shark vacuums, but there are also plenty more fish in the sea – including cheaper options from alternative brands. If you have pets, it would be good to choose the pet version, the shark hz500ukt. But the pet brush is very helpful in cleaning stairs, upholstery and hard-to-reach areas.
