Follow up: Forgot to mention this Vacuum is VERY quiet compared to my old Dyson DC33, you can still have a conversation when it is on with someone, and hear them fine which is great. View the latest deals on the Shark ICZ160UK Cordless Vacuum here: tidd.ly/35af8Dv
The metal stem where the hair wraps round is a filter. Its made of mesh to allow the air flow to cyclone through it. If you do not wipe the fluff lint & hair off it you will notice a loss of suction over time
*Works great and is lightweight **MyBest.Tools** Comes apart for cleaning/fits back together easily. It replaced my carpet shampooer. Great on hardwood as well.*
I would guess that the reason why there is no on-board tool storage might be to keep the unit light and compact. Carrying around the tools with the unit would add to the weight and size of what otherwise appears to be a fairly light and compact unit.
I have to say first of all I think you're so cute. Secondly I have this particular model and I am amazed how well this works. The way I use mine is I do it in just the default mode and go over the whole entire carpet with that first and then the high-traffic areas I'll put it induced to get that really deep down cleaning of the traffic areas and I still have 42 30 minutes left on the battery so I can go around and do all the attachment work with the remaining power left in the battery it works wonderful. I will say that I do wish it had a clip to where you can store the accessories on it while you're using it. But it's not that major of a deal as far as I'm concerned. I will tell you this it's amazing how much the sticks up out of the carpet I have the corded heavy-duty Vortex upright and the vortex canister and this pulls out so much dirt it's not even remotely funny and I vacuumed every single day
I really wish they'd bring this to the US - we had the version without the ant-hair wrap and other than that, it was great. I'd buy this version in a second.
Didn't realise its not available in the US yet, im sure they will release it soon! I know most of the parts are similar, maybe you could get hold of the brush head?
@@Dipscovery I think the Zero M (not sure if they call it that in the UK) has special stuff and it really won't work with the floor head I have. But good idea! But yeah, it's not here yet (and they actually discontinued the regular version about a year ago)
Annoyingly, mine suddenly started cutting out after only a couple of minutes use. Research reveals that they do this if they get clogged up and its a bit of a design fault. I've cleared the system as much as I could but, although its no longer cutting out, its really not picking up at all well and randomly deposits bits of grit everywhere as I vacuum. So annoying, as I've only had it about 18 months but it looks as though its knackered. Nice while it lasted!
@@DipscoveryI’ve had a Henry hoover 20 years and I empty it It works , in 20 years I just empty it . Makes this hoover my bird owns look like Poundland junk
Thank you for detailed review i thinking buy one i would use a pastry brush to empty it if it sticks so you dont have touch the dirt have lots of spare crevice tools over years so sure one will fit and i will make a short apron like a bistro one with sections so will put tools in and then roll and hang problem solved of leaving tools behind
Just bought this. Poor sausage - having to touch the dirt! Mine emptied cleanly and I do have pets! Vacuumed with a well known make (not Dyson) and two days later vacuumed again - picked up even more hair and dust! Excellent. I have a back problem - not terrible - and it didn’t ache after vacuuming top 3 bedroom/hall floor. Glad I bought it!
Suppose it depends how dirty your floors get if you have pets etc, I use mine for a full house clean every 2 weeks, does the job fine, better than my last Dyson DC33. But I do not have any pets.
Can you stop the beater it's just that I have a cordless and it is quite aggressive on my high pile carpet the beater bar bar going round? It's just that my current cordless hoover is quite aggressive on my high pile carpet so I'm looking for a cordless where I can stop the Beta bar going round. Many thanks
When you set it to hard floor mode, the main brush stops spinning you could do that. I had the same problem with my corded Dyson, but the carpet mode on this works really well and is alot easier to push and I have high pile carpet too. Hope that helps.
@@Dipscovery aw thanks yes that helps, yes my hoover - whos name i wont mention🙄 shreds up sprigs on one of my high pile carpets which is worrying also the customer service is appalling!!. Is shark a Good customer service?as i'm really thinking of switching to them x
@@Dipscovery I wish they would make something like there for in the US, I have no idea why they wouldn't. I wish manufacturers would stop focusing on that stick vacuum design for cordless vacuums; it's literally the worst design for a vacuum. That one you have is how all cordless vacuums should be made.
@@Damitsall Im sure it will come out in the US soon. I totally agree pal, I've used stick ones but just not the same as a proper upright, it's too top heavy, awkward to maneuver and they can't stand up by themselves. This one is best of both worlds.

I’ve just opened mine from the box and it is ridiculously loud! It sounds so so bad. Should I have done something before using it for the first time?

Great review, I’m a wheelchair user looking to get one and you covered most of the things I wanted to know!
Im glad it helped!

Thanks, yeah I wouldn't mind if they sold separately an attachment to allow onboard tools, but maybe on the next one!
Just got mine today. Can’t wait to use it! Thank you for the review, convinced me to purchase. :)
I'm glad you found it useful!

@@BrentNelson Would of thought they would be ready to release the new one now then this year. It's a really good vacuum.
@@BrentNelson Take a look at the Vertex. It has anti hair wrap and the duo clean brushes.
It is out in the US now
Thanks!!

Yes it does cut out when it needs a clean, i give mine a deep clean every 3 times i use it, wash filters, brush roller etc and its always been fine.
@@DipscoveryI’ve had a Henry hoover 20 years and I empty it

I have had mine for a couple of years, now it cuts out. I have cleaned every

haha good idea with the apron, might have to try that myself. Glad the review helped.

Yeah it's a really good vacuum! And it's very quiet too.
Was it a Henry Hoover or just a regular vax
@@anonymous_who6419 Miele
The Miele is brilliant - but I needed an upright because it was better for my back.
I love mine but it just doesn’t have enough suction to get a good deep clean unlike my Henry Hoover and my miele c3 pet but still really like my shark

You can't compare a cordless hoover with a 230v one, it's never going to be as powerful, it's meant for convenience.

@@kq8499 hi, I can't really comment on customer service yet as I have not had to contact them for anything. But don't think I've heard anything bad!
What’s difference between ICZ160uk and ICZ260uk? Is it the exact same apart from colour?
Not actually sure on that. But i think may be different regions.
The 260 has a second battery in the package.
HELPPPPPP battery charger showing 3 lights is it boogered or needs a battery ?
Won’t work 😂
great review mate
great video
Thanks for a great review
glad it helped.
I want one 😍
...could you not just cut that middle stem part out if it serves no function?
Yes. You can put the handle straight into the floor head without the extension wand
Wait is this a new Ion P50? I've been asking Shark to make a new version. The stick vacuum design is doodoo ass.
Hi, in the UK it's not called Ion P50 but from what I've seen it's the same thing, this is the latest version with Anti Hair wrap.
