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

Light, easy to manoeuvre, powerful and really good.

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

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

Brilliant hoover, sucks up the dust so much better than my previous shark. It senses hard floors and carpeted automatically or you can override that and select hard floors/carpet yourself with the button. It's light weight, folds over for easier storage, smells lovely. The only negative I have is that the wire is actually very very stiff and hard to wind up as others have stated. I'm a daily hoover person with a no shoes in the house policy, 3 kids and 3 dogs.. The picture is of the dust it got from hallway runner. I was so shocked at how much it put my old shark to shame.

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.

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.

This vacuum could have been excellent, but this UK version is a major let-down compared to the previous release a few years ago (the HZ500UKT/HZ500UK) and the same model available in the US (HZ4002). It is very puzzling that Shark, under the same brand, does not offer the same product and standard in the UK market. First, the suction power is just underwhelming. Whatever marketing that you may have come across out this UK model is rated at just 370W (175 air watts confirmed by Shark UK support), while the US HZ4002 version delivers 600W — a huge difference in performance. To make matters worse, even the previous stick vacuums released a couple of years ago (HZ500UKT and HZ500UK) by Shark UK had a higher motor wattage at 450watts. The cordless stratos stick vacuums also had higher wattages (above 450watts) and a stronger suction, making this corded model feel weak by comparison. It is really difficult to understand why a high wattage motor could not be fitted into this when the previous versions AND the cordless version could. Second, the vacuum cannot stand upright on its own. This is a basic usability feature, and the fact that the US version could do this makes the UK version’s design choice frustrating and difficult to justify. Having to constantly lean it against something while pausing mid-clean is an annoyance that should not exist at this price point. Third, there is no accessory clip, nor is one available to buy separately. This leaves you with no convenient way to store or access the brushes while in use. It’s a simple, expected feature that the US model includes, yet UK buyers are left without it. Altogether, these issues make the UK model feel like a stripped-down, corner-cutting version of what Shark is capable of delivering. For the price, it would have been reasonable to expect the same quality and features available elsewhere. A deeply disappointing product.
