Description:
This compact handheld vacuum from Shark tackles quick clean-ups around the home, offering a motorised pet tool and narrow nozzle for hair and crumbs on sofas and stairs. It suits busy households where small spills and pet hair need fast attention, with a lightweight 1.2 kg in-use weight and an 80 W motor that delivers short, focused cleaning bursts.
Key Points
The unit comes with three practical attachments: a motorised pet tool for upholstery, a dusting brush for delicate surfaces, and a crevice tool for tight gaps. The dust cup holds 0.45 litres and features a one-touch empty function for effortless disposal after each session. According to the manufacturer, lithium-ion technology provides up to 10 minutes of run-time, which is useful for quick jobs around the house. The washable filter reduces ongoing consumable costs and supports simple maintenance. Note that the short run-time may not suit lengthy cleaning tasks.

Usage Recommendations
Use the motorised pet tool to lift hair and embedded debris from fabric seats and pet beds, moving at a slow, steady pace for best results. The crevice tool reaches between cushions and along skirting boards, while the dusting brush helps remove loose dust from shelves and electronics. Charge the unit fully before first use and rinse the washable filter occasionally to maintain suction performance, allowing it to dry completely before reinstalling. Keep expectations realistic regarding the 10-minute run-time, and reserve longer sessions for a mains-powered cleaner.
Positive Aspects
The lightweight design makes handheld manoeuvring effortless and reduces strain when cleaning stairs or upholstery. The one-touch emptying system avoids contact with dust and hair and the inclusion of a charger with UK plug means it is ready to use out of the box. The combination of motorised and manual tools offers flexibility for pet owners and general household tidying.
