Shark DuoClean Cordless Stick Vacuum IZ251UKCO

Product Information

Shark’s signature DuoClean floorhead combines two motorised brush-rolls, working together to clean both carpets and hard floors. Glide seamlessly across all floor types with no need to stop or change floorhead. Shark is well known for making hugely flexible vacuum cleaners, and this continues through to its cordless models. As with previous Shark cordless vacuum cleaners, the IZ251UKT has Shark’s Flexology technology. This enables the wand to fold over in half, letting the vacuum stand up by itself so that you can easily wheel it into a cupboard for storage. It’s a shame the IZ251UKT isn’t able to stand up unaided when fully extended; the weight of the battery and bin tilt it over. Using the motorised pet tool while in handheld mode makes cleaning stairs much more convenient than a corded vacuum. We also like how easy the wand makes it to clean higher locations, such as ceilings and light fittings. The IZ251UKT is also brilliant for cleaning hard floors, pet hair, and staircases. It provides strong suction when in its regular mode, while the boost option is useful when you need some extra power.

How does the Shark compare to other premium cordless vacuums though? And should you buy it? Read our Shark IZ251UKT review to find out. Overview of the Shark IZ251UKT’s Features Unlike Dyson cordless vacuums, we like that the Shark IZ251UKT has a simple on/off toggle rather than a trigger system. If you hate the idea of needing to hold down a trigger to keep the vacuum running, then Shark’s system will be a welcome relief. The Shark doesn’t come with an LCD screen to show remaining battery time, such as the Dyson V11 Absolute. This isn’t an essential feature, but it’s great to be able to see the remaining charge on the Dyson V11, especially as it updates depending on which mode or tool you’re using. Relying on three LED lights on the Shark means you’re always wondering how much battery you’ve really got left. At the touch of a button, go handheld to easily clean stairs, soft furnishings and surfaces with the handy included attachments, such as the Motorised Pet Tool. Simply attach the wand in handheld mode to reach up high.

User Guides

Ideal for carpets and hard floors, Shark’s signature DuoClean floorhead combines two motorised brush-rolls, working together to glide seamlessly across all floor types with no need to stop or change floorhead. If you don’t need the mini motorised tool, then the IZ251UK could save you a bit of money. Shark IZ201UKT Vs Shark IZ251UKT

The Dyson V11 Absolute is one of our top rated cordless vacuum cleaners. It’s an outstanding vacuum that provides strong all-round performance, although this comes at the cost of an eye-watering price tag. With the Shark Duo Clean IZ251UKCO you can reach, charge and store anywhere. The flexible wand bends so you don’t have to, easily cleaning underneath furniture and folding down for compact, freestanding storage.A bonus is that the IZ251UKT’s floorhead has Shark’s anti hair-wrap technology. This consists of several combs that prevent hair from becoming caught round the brush bar, so you don’t need to cut hair away from the roller. We don’t think it’s 100% effective, but it does a good job at forcing hair into the bin, especially if your vacuum has to deal with long hair. One of the great things about the IZ251UKT is that it comes with a dual battery cradle. This allows you to charge both batteries at the same time, which takes around 3.5 hours. You can also charge one battery while it’s attached to the vacuum, and there are three indicator lights to show you the current level of charge.
