Shark corded stick vacuum, any good?

this one

I currently have a sebo cylinder which I find heavy and cumbersome especially for stairs. Also have an older cordless dyson stick vacuum which needs taking apart so much to have hair cut out the brushes that I’ve given up using it. It’s meant to have anti hair wrap technology but it’s useless

I was thinking this shark might be a good inbetween option. Light and easy to use but better run time, suction as it’s corded. But I’m worried about the hair wrapping situation, I don’t need another vacuum which stops working every other week.

I've got the purple one of these, not sure on the difference. It's bloody good, but it is heavy and a bit awkward. Also I'm short and there's no way of adjusting the length so that makes my arms ache too.

We have it and I love it. We've a dog and indoor cat who both shed a lot and it's been fab for managing the pet hair. The different attachments are handy. It's heavier than it looks but I don't find it a problem tbh. Length wise it suits me but I'm tall so if you're short that might be annoying.

Hmmm, I am short.

amazon says it’s 5.2kg which I think should be ok, even up the stairs. It’s got to be lighter and easier to manage than the sebo.

I had that one and it lasted for a few years. It's decent. I have the one in the pic below now and prefer it as the part where the fluff/dust/stuff it picks up goes is much bigger.

I have this Shark
its done me well. We have a house with 3 long haired females and a long haired cat so there’s no escaping the hair… but we had a Dyson and that was a pain.

the shark is super easy to clean regardless. I’ve recently replaced filters (I was cleaning them) and it’s like brand new again 😂 if anything goes wrong it’s sooooo easy to fix

just got the car detailing kit too 😅

Excellent , think I’ll go for it. The review that it’s better than the dyson is good to know. I did look at the one with the bigger compartment but I am slightly disabled so need something which isn’t too heavy.
