Shark Stratos Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner Pet Pro with Anti Hair Wrap Plus, Clean Sense IQ & Anti-Odour Technology, 60 Mins Run-Time, Removable Battery, 3 Attachments, Charcoal/Brass IZ400UKT

Product Information

The Shark Stratos IZ400UKT is a vacuum cleaner designed to provide efficient cleaning results. It features a powerful suction capability, capable of removing dust and dirt from floors, carpets, and upholstery effectively. The vacuum comes with various attachments and accessories, including a crevice tool, dusting brush, and a pet power brush. The dust cup has a large capacity, which means less time is spent emptying it during cleaning. It’s horrible having to detangle and cut out all the hair that’s caught in your vacuum brush-roll, but Shark’s improved Anti-Hair Wrap Plus Technology helps to keep it clear so you don’t have to get out the scissors. The unique bristle guard and comb removes long, short and pet hair as you clean – so that’s one less job for you to do. The Shark Stratos Anti Hair Wrap Plus Pet Pro Cordless Vacuum IZ420UKT marks a big change in design and strategy for the vacuum cleaner company, introducing a host of new features, including a new floor head, an Anti-Odour pod and automatic power modes. It’s a triumph of power, features and design. As you can see from our chart above, this isn’t as powerful as Dyson’s latest Gen5detect, and it falls behind the power of the cordless upright ICZ300UKT, though it is more powerful than the Hoover HF9.

This model is also equipped with Clean Sense IQ technology. Automatically sensing the debris you can’t see, this clever function adjusts the power to clean up to 50% more dirt. An intelligent indicator in the floorhead illuminates the suction power, which increases to meet the demand of the task at hand and decreases again when the dirt is gone. If money is no object then the Dyson Gen5detect remains a superior option, but not to the extent that it’s worth paying almost twice the price. Its battery lasts a bit longer and it comes with a few more bells and whistles, but you’re definitely not getting twice the vacuum.In terms of battery life, the vacuum performed reasonably well. At full power it lasted 10mins 47secs, which is slightly short of the competition. In Economy mode, however, it was only a few seconds short of the more expensive Dyson Gen5detect, while in Clean Sense mode it lasted almost 41 minutes. We don’t move the vacuum during this test, so we’d expect that time to drop in real-world use as the vacuum encounters more dirt and increases the suction. And to give reassurance to allergy sufferers, Shark’s Anti-Allergen Complete Seal captures and traps 99.9%*** of dust and allergens inside the vacuum, so they won’t be released into the air. A light on the head lets you know the level of power it’s working at, based on how much dust it can detect and changes depending on whatever cleaning challenges it faces.

Thanks to the Lithium-Ion battery, you’ll get up to 60 minutes of power – plenty of time to clean a typical home from top to bottom. The battery takes just 3.5 hours to charge on or off the vacuum, so this cleaner will always be ready when you need it. If you’ve got a pet, then you’ll know that their hair, fur, fluff, floof, whatever you want to call it, gets everywhere. And if you can spot the fuzz on your sofas, stairs and armchairs, then what about all the bits of dander and loose hair you can’t see in your carpets and rugs but know is still there?

Featured in a striking charcoal grey and copper finish, the IZ400UKT from Shark is the perfect vacuum cleaner for busy homes. Dimensions & Weight Depth And while we love our pets unconditionally, they can be a bit smelly sometimes, but with its Anti-Odour Technology, the Shark Stratos protects against bad odours inside the vacuum for a fresher-smelling home– instead of leaving you with a lingering musty smell that makes you question if your home is actually any cleaner afterwards. The Stratos did leave a line of flour behind the motor head, where the fins on the roller seemed to funnel the flour without offering enough agitation or suction to lift it all up. This amounted to 4% of the flour on that first pass, although that’s still way above average. It was happily collected by subsequent passes made at a different angle. The IZ400UKT can transform into a handheld at the touch of a button. From floor to ceiling, you can clean a wide range of surfaces and narrow gaps with the DuoClean floorhead, Multi-Surface tool and crevice tool. There’s also a motorised pet tool which is specially designed to remove embedded pet hair from your soft furnishings. And, with Flexology, you can bend the wand to reach under low furniture such as beds, sofas, and coffee tables. Tired of bending down when cleaning underneath beds, sofas and coffee tables? Thanks to Flexology, this vacuum’s flexible wand bends in the middle so you can easily clean underneath low-lying furniture without moving it or bending down. And when you’ve finished cleaning, the vacuum simply folds down for compact and free-standing storage.
