Great series Roger, have loved watching the vids before bed time. Just don't know what it is about you and your reviews that I find so therapeutic. Much appreciate all the work you put it to make these reviews. Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you for the in-depth review. It’s one of the best reviews I’ve seen on TH-cam. That much so that you have a new subscriber 😊 Ive ordered the IZ320UK in the sale and from your video it looks like I made a good choice.
Love how thorough you are with your reviews. This was by far the one review that helped me finally decide which Shark I wanted. I've decided on the Shark Vertex Pro Stick Vacuum. Thank you so much!!
Roger, your reviews and “user guide” type content is such good quality. We ordered this machine (currently on offer) and it’s so useful knowing it inside out before even opening the box. Just waiting for the battery to charge now!
@@track1009 We’re pleased with it. It’s our first cordless and is noticeably lower power than mains cleaners we’ve had, which we probably should have anticipated! We have managed to block it a couple of times too but we have kids and are quite messy so probably hoover up more big bits than we should. Overall though we’re pleased with it, it folds down nicely and sits in a corner and is much easier to just grab than a mains machine.
Hi Roger,, been a great week, thanks for all the time you put into the videos and all the behind the scenes time it takes to be able to upload to TH-cam. Thank you Miss Daisy for your generous donations.. You are so adorable. 🙂
@@heckyesitsjess84 it's similar to the corded shark except the battery is terrible, I don't recommend buying it. They advertise 60 minutes of use but it lasted 25 minutes for me on medium power with the brush roll activated.
Very impressive video , just got one today after your video . Easy to listen to you and step by step on how to use , better than the instructions! 😂Thank you so very much for doing a great job 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks to your review I bought the Shark IZ300EUT and am very happy with it. The machine lifts very fine dust from the carpets even in the medium setting. Only disadvantage is its weight and machine is quite loud.
just great , been using for past six months , cleans so well . I run on max power as its just as quick as eco as you dont need to go back and forth so much. My whole family fight over who will use next. My electric Miele has been consigned to a cupboard.
So I just bought a Dyson V15 and sent it straight back due to the infamous “Clean filter” error every 5 mins. It’s a known issue and their appears to be a lot of faulty units. Going to get this Shark model instead as it looks like it’s just a much better machine. Also really like the fact you can put it into “Storage” mode and that you don’t have to change heads when moving from carpet to hard floor. Cheers for this review 🙂
I was looking at this one for a while, and then just recently discovered the upright cordless model. Was a bit confused about notable differences, but the comparison at the end helped a lot. I hadn't considered weight distribution and it totally makes sense. Thanks!
I love your video as I’ve just gone and bought myself this vacuum cleaner today and I sometimes find it hard trying to understand the instruction book.
Those PowerFins really do seem like they beat the crap out of those fibers. In fact, the rumble of the fins do brings back a lot vintage Hoover vibes. No doubt the PowerFin heads are deep cleaners. Plus, it’s nice to see Shark giving the consumer a choice in terms of cordless upright preference. Wish others would take a page out of Sharks book.
Thank you! I could not, for the life of me, find how to release the soft roller from looking at the manual! Your video helped straight away!! I'm having an issue when in carpet mode and highest speed. It keeps stopping and a red symbol shows saying E60 error. What is this and how can I stop it?!
I’ve literally just returned a Dyson V15 as it was faulty. Apparently there’s a lot of faulty V15 units. Not worth £600+ imo. Dyson have really gone downhill. Hopefully you went for the Shark 👍
Thanks so much for a very informative video. We just bought this machine yesterday as an ‘upstairs’ machine as our main Dyson machine weighs a ton to lug up and down the stairs. Used it just the once but found it very straightforward to use and, as you said, it does pick up lots of dirt. A suggestion for you. Before you spread all of your rice, lentils and sand on the floor why not weight it on kitchen scales and then reweigh the contents of the Shark machine once you have finished your demonstration. It would give you idea of how effect the machine is. Thanks again. Gary Brown
Well done very well presented video covers Shark vacuums adequately, still like my gtech which just packed in after five years, have bought another gtech also a Shark cordless so will compare both soon as 😊
Thanks for the video Roger. I would love a comparison to last years model vs this new IZ300UKT. I bought the IZ201UKT about two months ago and now regret my decision seeing this new model.
Totally agree the winner is a great cleaner. I recently bought the pet model of the cordless upright cleaner and have no complaints. Really enjoyed Shark week. Will you consider doing a dyson week in the future? 👍🏻
Hello, Would you be able to tell me how long the battery lasts for please? I've bought this machine and the battery life seems to be for about 20 minutes instead of the 60 minutes they claim .
As with all cordless vacuums, the longest runtime quoted is when using the cleaner on the lowest power setting without a motorised tool. 20 minutes seems about average when using the main head on the medium setting.
I received this Shark vacuum cleaner as a replacement when my previous model malfunctioned. However, I am disappointed that it cannot be charged while the battery is inserted. This means that I have to keep the docking station on my counter, which is not convenient at all.
If you have the model in this video you can charge the battery when it’s removed from the cleaner, in the dock if supplied or when the battery is fitted to the cleaner. I explain this in the video.
Love my Shark but no suction. Have been through it all no blockages. Recently had to get a new engine and wonder if that has something to do with no suction? The small extra head doesn’t suck up either any ideas or do I need to call Shark again? Thanks
How do i clean the main head. Ive noticed theres alot of dusr built up but i can access it because of the roller brush in the middle. It doesnt come out so i cant clean the clear plastic bit.
Really enjoyed this week of reviews. Thanks so much for all your hard work! Btw, how is the "clean out" going? I know you've been selling some on eBay, but have you made any headway? Let us know. Missing Rogers Bits and Doings, but I get it. Hope you have had some good holidays.
Great video thanks you. I have been looking at cordless shark for a few weeks now but I see so mamy conflicting reviews on battery life. I have carpet all upstairs 3 bedrooms, stairs and landing and in my large living room. Am I gunna be able to make it through all that on a single charge?
Hi Roger, this video has been really helpful, thank you. Can I ask, can the brush roll be removed? I find that the plastic see-through casing gets dusty and I wanted to wipe this down, however I can’t work out how to do this, as I can’t seem to remove the brush roll? Thanks
You can’t easily remove the brushroll. I clean the casing with surface wipes fed over the brush moving the brush by hand until the wipes come out of the other side.
Hey Roger!!! Do you think any of this models of duo clean nozzles may fit to my rocket model? My apartment is manly wood flooring and it has only two rugs.. I believe and soft brush may upgrade the cleaning
Wait which model has the extra pet power head? The Amazon link you lost only has the main power head attachment. Which model has the powered pet attachment?
Hello. I got this vacuum about 2 months ago. About 10 days ago I washed both the filters and let it dry in the sun for about 3 days. Made sure they were both completely dry before putting them back on, today whilst hoovering I’ve noticed it is now making a very loud noise, like a plane landing. Any thoughts please?
As of right now your winner is not available in the US and my heart is broken I have no idea on a release date for the us for that model but i want the blue pet model it fits my style esthetic and decor... I hope they release it in the us otherwise they loose a customer to a competitor because i don't like any of the others for my personal needs
Which cordless one do you recommend? This one, or the other one you reviewed a few days ago? Which one had the better suction and better results? Thank you for sharing all of these vacuums with us!
This is amazing, thank you very much! I'm gonna click buy now but before I do that, could anyone please tell me am I missing out if I get shark instead of dyson? Last year, I accidentally bought a super powerful Bissel cleaner and I didn't know that it washes rather than vacuums so I cannot use it every day or every week especially in winter in the UK. I don't want to be buying a new vacuum every year, so guys, please Shark or Dyson? is dyson just marketing or is it actually better than everything else? Thank you!
I have the Dyson V10. It is powerful and lightweight but the battery does not last long. I've already had to replace the battery after one year and now the 2nd battery is going bad.
I have just bought this shark vaccum. I just wanted to ask if you noticed a weird smell when you first used. Like from the motor. Also when using on carpet I found it made a rattling sound. I just wanted to know if you noticed anything like this or if it just me.
Mine makes a rattling sound, but it's the PowerFins that cause that. I haven't noticed a weird smell, but then I'm used to the smell of new vacuum cleaners.
Can you tell me the difference between this model and the IZ3000UK as I got this model and it was more expensive and you only get one battery and no pet tool, feel like I've been ripped off, I never even seen the option for the machine your showing
There are four models in this range. The IZ300UK is the bottom of the range with one battery and no motorised pet tool. The model in this video has one battery and pet tool. Two other models are available, one with two batteries and no pet tool and the top model with two batteries plus the pet tool. All the models are available on Shark’s website clearly showing the differences. The cleaners themselves are identical, the only differences are the number of batteries and tools supplied.
My big concern with cordless vacuum cleaners, is a year or two down the line when the batteries start to fail. Will there be spares available, or will manufacturers have moved onto a different form factor for the battery pack? Me, I think I'll stick to mains powered cleaners!
@@molly-mann5059 Dyson Hoover's are terrible, not even comparable. The vacuum is weak and it spits garbage straight back out, the shark has a lot of power but terrible battery, doesn't even last half the amount of time that's advertised.
I have never used it but I had the older version which was pretty heavy. I have no plans to get any more Shark vacuums for a while as there are plenty of other brands to focus on.
Great series Roger, have loved watching the vids before bed time. Just don't know what it is about you and your reviews that I find so therapeutic.

I love how your dog is un-phased by the hoover. My dog has a vendetta against all vacuums and mops

Thanks for your comment, that's been a great help 👍🙂
Thank you .
Please share ur experience with this machine ..I have tiles and wood hard floor qll over my home thanks alot in advance
I've just bought a shark it's a really great vacumn your video is really helpful thanks very much
Hi Roger,, been a great week, thanks for all the time you put into the videos and all the behind the scenes time it takes to be able to upload to TH-cam.
Thank you Miss Daisy for your generous donations.. You are so adorable. 🙂
I love how daisy has no issue with a vacuum. She is just chilling and sleeping😊
Just bought this and was trying to figure it out properly. Excellent review very detailed 👌🏽 thank you
Do you like it?

That is a very good review!!
This review sold it for me.... brought one today! Thank you!
I have a cleaning business & all I buy is Shark!!! Perfect videos!
Thank you Roger for doing Shark week! I definitely learned more about Shark over this week!
Aaawwww, Daisy is such a super and sweet helper!😁🥰🥰
Thankyou for such an in-depth video, I’m waiting for mine to be delivered I’m so excited I feel like I know everything about it now👍🏼
Daisy surely loves posing for the camera
Is that Daisy. Thanks for reviewing the shark. Very helpful.
Very impressive video , just got one today after your video . Easy to listen to you and step by step on how to use , better than the instructions! 😂Thank you so very much for doing a great job 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
All of your demos are great help to me, thank you so much👍👍👍
Much appreciated. Very detailed and useful video, have just opened the box and this video answered all my questions x
Great week of videos, thanks for all the hard work putting together
This was an excellent and comprehensive review, thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your thorough and accurate reviews :) Very helpful.
Thanks to your review I bought the Shark IZ300EUT and am very happy with it. The machine lifts very fine dust from the carpets even in the medium setting. Only disadvantage is its weight and machine is quite loud.
I'm so put off by how loud it is 😮
Honestly as long as it's not having that stupid smile of Henry on it I'm happy😂
Helped me make my.mind up. Just ordered one. Thanks
just great , been using for past six months , cleans so well . I run on max power as its just as quick as eco as you dont need to go back and forth so much. My whole family fight over who will use next. My electric Miele has been consigned to a cupboard.
You must mean that it's "quicker" than eco as you don't need to go back and forth so much.??
So I just bought a Dyson V15 and sent it straight back due to the infamous “Clean filter” error every 5 mins. It’s a known issue and their appears to be a lot of faulty units.

I have given up on dyson ok for 6/12 and then always problems love the shark but now it won’t suck but no blocks annoying
I was looking at this one for a while, and then just recently discovered the upright cordless model. Was a bit confused about notable differences, but the comparison at the end helped a lot. I hadn't considered weight distribution and it totally makes sense. Thanks!
Fantastic demo thanks so much as I’ve just bought the shark that came in second place ♥️
Which video shows the ranking of which one was what place?
@@heckyesitsjess84 It's at the end of this video
Shark week has been a great series, please consider a classics week and perhaps a value vacuum week.
Fantastic shark wk loved every episode 👌👌👌

Just noticed the dog lol. So chilled
You have convinced me and I think I'm getting one of those
Brush sounds like it’s beating well, it’s picked up some gravel /grit bits, aww little Daisy 🐕
You are such a messy guy 😂
Great tests, how they should be.
Great work 👍
Thank you! I could not, for the life of me, find how to release the soft roller from looking at the manual! Your video helped straight away!!
I'm having an issue when in carpet mode and highest speed. It keeps stopping and a red symbol shows saying E60 error. What is this and how can I stop it?!
Yip cant do it on highest speed ggrrr
Thanks for your hard work! Very helpful 👌
Great review, thank you for making it.
Great timing - was debating which cordless to go for and don’t have Dyson money! This one’s currently reduced as well in the UK at £329.
I’ve literally just returned a Dyson V15 as it was faulty. Apparently there’s a lot of faulty V15 units. Not worth £600+ imo. Dyson have really gone downhill. Hopefully you went for the Shark 👍

Hi Roger hope we get to see your Christmas video this year looking forward to seeing it soon
Great video just bought one cheers
Would you go with this shark iz300ukt or the Henry quick?
Great Series Roger!
Hi hello really good vacuum can I know suction power in Air watts.
Best vacuum cleaner from shark
Excellent review. Thanks for sharing
Well done very well presented video covers Shark vacuums adequately, still like my gtech which just packed in after five years, have bought another gtech also a Shark cordless so will compare both soon as 😊
Which one was better, shark or gtech?
Hi Roger, thanks so much for the effort put into your videos. Can I ask, would you recommend Shark over VAX?
Hi, Is there any way to turn off the lights during hoovering? Those probably would extend battery life by good 15-20%
No. The LED lights use a fraction of the power the motor uses, so it would probably make little difference anyway.
wow your dog must be smashing the valium
Thanks for the video Roger. I would love a comparison to last years model vs this new IZ300UKT. I bought the IZ201UKT about two months ago and now regret my decision seeing this new model.
Great review really enjoying my model

See if the new floor head will fit the old one
Just bought this today as my Dyson less than 2 years old , completely stopped working. I love it but it’s sooo so loud!!?
Love my Shark but no suction. Have been through it all no blockages. Recently had to get a new engine and wonder if that has something to do with no suction? The small extra head doesn’t suck up either any ideas or do I need to call Shark again? Thanks
Just bought one of these to replace a gtec which I don't think did much cleaning tbh.
Such a great review, thanks
Fantastic vid!
Hi how to you release the head from the upright position please
How do you rate Shark Customer Care please??
I’ve never had to contact them.
Could you please compare this to the corded stick vacuum, Wandd vac, and cordless upright?
Shark got rid of the secondary cyclones found on the non digital display version of the vacuum. I wonder why...
It's borderline shameful making a single cyclone vacuum and selling it for £329.
The battery of this hoover dies fast, doesn't even last 30 mins
Hi. Thanks for the reviews. Please provide the link for the review of Shark which is your 1st recommendation, I can't find it on your channel.
How do i clean the main head. Ive noticed theres alot of dusr built up but i can access it because of the roller brush in the middle. It doesnt come out so i cant clean the clear plastic bit.

scratch that - i didn't watch the end of the video when i posted that comment!! right, time to buy the ICZ300UKT!
Fantastic video! Thank you
Is it worth it to get IZ320UK for 250 pounds with free pet filter
Hello. I got this vacuum about 2 months ago. About 10 days ago I washed both the filters and let it dry in the sun for about 3 days. Made sure they were both completely dry before putting them back on, today whilst hoovering I’ve noticed it is now making a very loud noise, like a plane landing. Any thoughts please?
Is it 50% more power compare to model uz200uk on boost mode only. I've tried both feel the same on regular mode
Great videos thank you. Helped make our mind up which one to buy.
Does that mean you can’t remove the main brushhead for cleaning?
So glad I purchased one of these from curry’s (£100 off). The dyson animal I had previously was terrible, rubbish buttery life as well.
Do accessories from other shark vacs for on other models?
Hi can someone please tell me which charger I need for this please,i don't have the manual and have bought one off ebay but doesn't fit thanks
whats the comparable USA MODEL?
hi Roger how is the noise level ?
As of right now your winner is not available in the US and my heart is broken I have no idea on a release date for the us for that model but i want the blue pet model it fits my style esthetic and decor... I hope they release it in the us otherwise they loose a customer to a competitor because i don't like any of the others for my personal needs
I received IZ320 today and to be honest not quite happy with the sound especially on carpet with boost mode.
Which cordless one do you recommend? This one, or the other one you reviewed a few days ago? Which one had the better suction and better results? Thank you for sharing all of these vacuums with us!
Oops my apologies I just saw the end and it answered my questions!
This is amazing, thank you very much! I'm gonna click buy now but before I do that, could anyone please tell me am I missing out if I get shark instead of dyson?

@@molly-mann5059 Dyson Hoover's are terrible, not even comparable. The vacuum is weak and it spits garbage straight back out, the shark has a lot of power but terrible battery, doesn't even last half the amount of time that's advertised.

I have never used it but I had the older version which was pretty heavy. I have no plans to get any more Shark vacuums for a while as there are plenty of other brands to focus on.
