shark vac

[ilovesprouts]

got a dyson but wanting a shark vac does anybody have one and are they better than the dyson ? thanks x

I have a Shark and I LOVE IT! I find it much easier to use than the Dyson (which is now a swear word in my house lol). Its lighter and I love the lift away facility on my version.

Do you have the cylinder one, which separates or the rocket stick one?

I've been looking at getting one too.

I have just ordered this one:

read lots of reviews now and Shark are getting really good press

Just bought one and I love it! It sucks up a satisfying amount of crap, and you don't have to push it as such, it's motorised to 'pull' forward so makes it much less of a heavy job.

Go one last summer.
Love love love it.
Got the lift away version. It's in use daily in our house with three dc and two dogs and it's never let me down yet.
I have the lift away version and it's so much easier and lighter than a dyson
Brilliant for stairs awkward corners and ceilings

I've got the rocket pet and its ace.

Just looking at John Lewis website and there are two Shark models- about £100 price difference.

I've read the specifications and can't see the difference.

Any thoughts?

Izzy The only thing I can see in a quick look is that one is slightly more powerful

I bought a Shark Liftaway after having Dysons for years, and it is fab on carpets - less great on hardwood floors. Not really an issue for us, as the only hard floor we have is the hall, but might be an issue if you have mainly wooden/hard flooring.

I have this one and I love it. It's not amazing on stairs, but I have a small handheld for stairs anyway. Can't believe how my carpets are always so thick now-it really pulls the pile up like new again.

If you are a mainly hardwood floor home, mine has a special head for haedfloors. Easy to switch and really polishes as well as sucking up debris.

Thanks AConvivialHost and Whileweareonthesubject - would like one of these but mostly wood and tiles downstairs, so good to know.

Oh, shame they don't do a cordless one, or do they [hopeful]

now i have the shark liftaway the steamer and just got the cordless one with the two batteries
