Thanks for your instructions. I was about ready to throw this vacuum out since it no longer was picking up anything but was able to finally clean it and it is working again.
The biggest issues are the small wheels get tangled with hair and almost impossible to remove. Also, the rubber roller does that remove at all.AND this is where the majority of hair and debris get stuck. Have to do microsurgery with various items to even attempt to remove the crap. If you LOVE vacuuming, cleaning vacuums, and spending more time doing maintenance then actually cleaning, THIS UNIT IS FOR YOU!
Thank you 😀 just did a #shorts video Noisey Shark, what it is the pipe at the bottom next to the head can get blocked with hairs or carpet bits when it runs it sounds like a helicopter taking off, it's a bit of a bottle neck because of the corrgate pipe inside, took 20 minutes to clear with a wooden stick 😀 laters Steve
Thanks for the video. There are still questions - how to clean the multicyclone system? Is it collapsible? My vacuum cleaner is already a year old and I think compressed dust has accumulated there. And the second question is that the hair got wound on the attachment of the second roller (bristly), you did not show how to remove it.
With the hairs, I just pulled them out or used a hair brush. I'm not really sure what the meaning of the multi cyclone as my one doesn't have one, but I would use a 2nd Vacuum cleaner to vacuum it out much better way 😉 laters Steve
@5:54 just under the palm of your right had there is a small photo on the appliance that shows you need to cut along the roller to basically unwrap any hair wrapped around it and the hair comes off easily. It does say to do this in the instructions too. In a house with three long haired women this technology has worked perfectly and there is never any left over hair that I can't get off
Are you using the same Shark or are you using the one with a plug ? In my latest video I show hairs blocking it up, Shark has written to me and said would I like a free upgrade because they have had a number of complaints about this model 😀 so they no all about the product, so basely I am going to take up there offer 😀
@@crazybaker1 yes I am using the same cordless shark model. I have just seen your latest video and the reason the pipe is getting blocked is because you are trying to hoover up pieces of rubbish that are already too big to fit through the pipe (the piece of cardboard that came out of your pipe) sorry but basic cleaning knowledge will tell you to pick up pieces like this and throw them in the bin and not ruin the life of your hoover with them. I think you might prefer a more industrial type hoover than the basic household models
@@cmac3971 as Shark has made its clear some of this model has got a recall, from the letter from Shark some model are ok, they have a list of defected models and year, it seems to be the one I have 😀 if you have got a Shark that works great for you 😀 happy days, you always have plenty of people that are not happy and it's the seems with happy buyers, no one really cares about it until the Shark stops working 😀
@@crazybaker1 the anti hair wrap on the ICZ160UKT is working really well for me, so I think you are right that it's an issue with the one you had. thank you for the video :)
You can't do it easy, be mindful of taking it to bits and not getting back the same way as it was 😀 if you do intend to have ago. Please let me know if you found any issues with it laters Steve 🙂
How do I remove 3 stuck screws on bottom of head. They’ll unlock easily enough but they won’t pop out. All 3 are same. Thanks to anyone who can help me.
I found out it's limited on what type of hairs, the manufacturer said with so many different types of hairs, it's not possible for it to recover every hair type, which includes carpets which I have been having problems, but now the carpet is older works alot better 😅 happy days Laters 😀
Wow, im surprised folks seem to have ao many issues with this. First off, mine works great and its old, that brush is for HAIR, and as anyone with long hair and shedding pets will tell you, hair jams up vacuum brushes, period. in particular, long HAIR, when you vacuum, spools around the head and jams up the bristles as well as making it difficult for it to turn. The longer your hair the worse it is. Traditional brushes, no matter the vacuum require me to get put the seam ripper or scissors to un tangle it every other time i use it. Pet floof will always eventually need to be pulled out of bristles on any vac too, so those rubbery blades are fantastic. I cant remember the last time i had to flip over my vacuum to perform hair removal surgery. Also, vacuums are for cleaning, but they too must be occasionally cleaned and maintained.
One big issue is new carpets which will block up the pipe and rollers, I always here about pets' hairs, but luckily for you that you don't have new carpets in your house, as you said you have pets running around 😉 😜
Hi my exact shark is making a noise from the motor. No burning smell tho. I have clean all filters and it is still making it. Any ideas? It is only 2 months old
Hi mate not got that problem with it 😀😀 when you think how much we paid for this vacuum, I have less problems with our electric miele S571 super air clean, have you noticed that the battery doesn't last long now ? Funny thing is I have only had our 2 month 😀 laters
@@crazybaker1 I purchased the one with three batteries only have it two weeks . Prior to that a Dyson V6 a total disaster as we have two long haired collie dogs . The main roller brush head motor and small wheels always getting clogged up. I still have my Miele corded as standby '
@@ThomasAMcCormack funny we can't beat the good old days 😀😀 it's the same in my bakery with ingredients they change things all the time, I just think if we could go back in time 😀 laters
The best thing I did for view panel, rap a cloth round the big roller and just roll back by hand ✋️ may have to wet the cloth, it works the best, cleaning up the big roller, I use a pet brush 👌 😀
Help just been through everything no blockages but no suction and everything clicked into place so tight. Recently had to have a new engine wondering if that doesn’t fit as well as the old one Any ideas thanks
Great video thanks, a great help. I think shark needs to work on the revolving brush that you cannot remove which traps hair in the very ends of the clear window you cannot get to remove. Even the design of the canister is hard to clean and looks filthy when powder dust enters it, I wouldn't recommend this cleaner, it's cheap plastic for high money, bad purchase on our part.
After testing out for some time now, if you want a vacuum cleaner buy electric 😀 but battery ones are easy to pick up and use right away 😉 no plug and lead the needed, so basely most manufacturers are the same there not much in it, a part from the price 😀 laters
Who has that much time to clean their hover? We've had shark for years, yes it's powerful but cleaning is total mess; everytime I empty the container I get covered in dust
Mine is the same, not really anti-hair at all. That said, hair doesn't seem to cause the roller to seize up which I have experienced on other models. What also gets bunged up on mine are the little wheels towards the front of the head, just behind the brush roller. I had a posher Miele one which was solidly built but so badly thought out against hair that once hair got in the roller bearing it melted itself!
We just spend time getting the hairs out the roller, it's always good to have 2 vacuums, one for quicker Cleaning and the other for all the sawdust and cleaning out the car 😀
At 1:44… the filter with the red tab, I’ve looked on amazon and I’m struggling to find one that’s the same shape on Amazon (only ones I can find are more circle rather than this shape!) can you recommend anywhere to get them from or the name to search? Thanks so much in advance, this video is incredibly helpful!
That roller is not removable with out a lot of work, I have looked at it, but the Mrs Crazy said don't remove it as it's could end up in bits and unable to be used, she said if it's not broken don't fix it 😉 so I can not help you for this simply visit Shark website for help 😉 laters Steve
You're a star,I knew how to dismantle everything,roller etc but bits kept throwing out,obviously loss of suction which it was.But I never knew how to get to the filter as I can't find instructions. Banged both out as still in good knick, no splits and bingo,great suction again Thank you.By the way you can wash them and thoroughly dry can't you?
I love my shark but I do find bin part hard to clean down the sides in between the plastic parts.. Iv never had a problem with the anti hair roller part but I wish we could take it out as on the previous model you could take off the plastic lid on the top to clean it from the top and bottom.. Its amazing now much dust gets in the filters tho tho, I think once a month is needed. Thanks for the video, really helpful 👍
Thank you 😀 what I am thinking is Shark sell the roller so it's got to be removed some how, I will have a look into this 😀 only thing it's not going to be easy 😀 laters Steve
The answer to the hair wrapping around the roller in any vacuum cleaner is in my view to make that whole section 'disposable'. Just make it a one-finger button action to have it click out and go buy a 'replacement'. I know I would. Make them cheap and widely available. Imagine having a replacement roller for £9.99 on Amazon that needs replacing every couple of months.
@crazybaker1 thanks, tried this earlier today and it works... to some degree..., but it would be nice to make a more thorough job. Shark really needs to make it so we can remove that bloody roller. You're right it's a total pain in the beeeep! 😄
I used Japonesque tweezers and they worked just use the wedge not the tip.but i recommend screwdriver if you have one as i only needed to remove something and not the brushroll itself.
Thanks so much, I’ve been hurting my back only using the handhold part as I couldn’t work out how to open the bottom part. I found a huge blockage and now my hoover is working again 🙏🏽
@@crazybaker1 No but they have compressed air cans, and those like me have an electric computer duster. It is essentially a leaf blower but the size of a a tea pot lol. I use it for blowing out electronics, drying up liquids, all sorts of things.
Great help thanks, btw true about the hair gets on the rollers, sometimes have to use scissors. and the cone shaped thingy in the dustbin needs to be cleaned. otherwise you will get a flashing red 'battery' signal and the cleaner will power off. thnx
On mine I don't have a red light, but you can hear the noise from the motor itself, it's like a helicopter taking off 😀 it's nice to hear from other people who are having problems 😀 laters Steve 👍
The hole near the anti hair wrap rotor of my vacuum cleaner was CLOGGED full of rubbish! And I was wondering why it wasn't working :'D Thank you for this fantastic video!!
Yes, it can, but unfortunately, unless your Vac is broken 😢 don't go there. If you want to see someone opening it up, then check out other sites where you can see them open the Shark up, very interesting video 😀
Good video, very helpful, but please; don't be like the Americans. You said "guys" 11 times in the presentation, and even better, please wear the baseball cap the correct way round, not like our colonial cousins who don't look their best when wearing it back to front.
Thanks you for your reply 😀, yes I have now addressed the guys in my latest videos, hat is because my hair needs cutting as we was in a lock down, great today I have just had it cut 😀😀 I must get some hats made with Crazy Baker on them, all my hats have car advertising on them, so I don't get paid from them so back side is best 😀 laters Steve
I know what you are saying, our is now 2 months old, so I am go to wash in warm water with a bit of washing liquid, now for the head I am raping a small cloth around the big roller with the brush wet, and just turn the roller round, now you will need to this more than once, now replace the cloth with a dry one. I amazed how clean it turned out. Funny I have done this at the same time as this reply 😀😀 laters Steve
Thank you so much for this Crazy Baker. I have just purchased my shark after i had wasted money on two other vacuums that simply stopped working after 6 months, they were a false economy . I have subscribed and will use your advice as needed.
Hi! So helpful to see you can clean it. Mine has so much dust build up and some was plaster dust (thanks to builders using it!). I can't seem to get the inside foam bit off without it ripping (it's in the lid that you flip up)? Any tips? I can see there's some debris collected beneath it...
If it starts making loud noises check what surface it says when hoovering. Spent best part of an hour cleaning & taking it apart as well as a few cuss words and it had been knocked to hard surface!! Mind the brush had got a LOAD of hair (mine) wrapped around it badly!! Needed cutting off. Maybe because on wrong surface setting it picked it up better. A self help dvd should be included with purchase.
Ps Not only was it very noisy it shuddered and l really thought it was going to blow up on me. Next day and it's acting like an Angel 😇 again. Note to self, start cleaning filters (when taking it apart trying to find out what was up l noticed they were filthy!!) & add to check list to make sure you haven't knocked the surface by accident. (friend was hoovering for me & he knocked it).
Hi yes I did 😀 my one was full of hairs and bits of paper, one thing I have notice if the filter is not clear the air doesn't suck well and this could cause the blockage, so I now hold on the maximum power, the only down side is the battery runs out quickly 😀 laters Steve
I find the end of a handle of a desert spoon fits those plastic screws well. Also it's a bit disappointing you can't easily remove the anti hair power fin roller for ease of cleaning
I have took it out, but don't go there ⛔️ it took me 4 hours and it does not go back together well, it's a bit like a airfix kit with no instructions 😀
Hi great video. Do you know how to get the large anti hair wrap roller out? I need to clean the plastic window underneath as it’s so filthy I can’t see the roller through it from the top! Will I need to unscrew and take the whole head apart? Also the tiny little castors are completely clogged up with fur. Thanks.
I have had it out, but don't waste time do this, it doesn't seem to go back that easy, the small Castors you can just pull out and then they pop back in, but generally you just need to clean it with soapy water, best thing I got was a bottle wash brush, great for getting in smaller parts 😀
Yes I think the same after I did the video it was to late 😅 carpet hairs, funny thing is now not a problem, used carpet not new, I did a my hair test and it was fine, only thing was the head needed cleaning out, still love the easy pick up and go 😀 laters Steve 😄
got paperclip stuck on other side of rear roller - so how do you take the brush roller out to get at things like that that you can see through the plastic from the top?
Thank you for sharing this video. I found it so helpful as I’m a new owner and didn’t know what to do when my front roller popped. Now it’s been cleaned AND repaired 😊.
thanks for posting the Video , not sure if mine needs a proper Service at Shark , doesn't seem to be working quite right . I want to strip as much of it down as possible to clean everything .
@@crazybaker1 Thanks again , I done it , I spent about 25 minutes Deep cleaning the Shark and it seems as good as New again !! , you have saved me a fortune :)
Perhaps it is the type of hair 🤔 for us it's carpet hair is the problem, but now it's not that bad because vacuuming the new carpet regularly it's ok 🙂 laters Steve
Hi Natalie best way is to rinse it, just remove the rear filters first, no electrical part at all, once done just dry out, I put a cloth round and then leave in a warm place 😀👍 laters Steve
Funny thing is all battery vacuums are around about the same, they are all plastic, the most expensive ones do have some more power and better build quality, but it's down to the price at the end of the day, for us we have Shark for quick cleaning for carpets, but for all the time we have a electric meile which walks over everything it's a old one, so basely it's down to how much you want to pay, now the shops are now all open, I would recommend going to John Lewis and test some out, in our store has at least 20 different vacuum cleaner for sale and to test out, best of luck 😀 laters Steve
@@RandomVibes505 to be honest not test out that one, thing is today most vacuums are not very powerful because of EU regulations, don't forget you need the vacuums for your car like us 😉 yes you need to go to John Lewis, I am not sure if you can test them out at curry's but they sell loads of them 😀👍
Thanks for your instructions. I was about ready to throw this vacuum out since it no longer was picking up anything but was able to finally clean it and it is working again.
I use a seam ripper on the bar to get the hair off
Sounds good 👍
The thing is, how do I clean the clear top? The big brush is in the way and you have to screw it into pieces to get it out
Yep, me too, this is what I came here for... But no answer in that yet
I get a antibac wipe and roll it through the hair wrap section and few times. Let it dry after wards before use
@@vickiwilliamson9687 I'll have to try this - thanks! :)

Good vacuum cleaner but some of it does need redesigning to be able to clean it properly like them tiny crappy wheels and the yellow and black roller.

The answer to the hair wrapping around the roller in any vacuum cleaner is in my view to make that whole section 'disposable'. Just make it a one-finger button action to have it click out and go buy a 'replacement'. I know I would. Make them cheap and widely available. Imagine having a replacement roller for £9.99 on Amazon that needs replacing every couple of months.
It's the window panel I came here for 😩 the rest is common sense
Hi this is from my other channel which covers all what you need laters Steve th-cam.com/users/shortsaiHvbhqqt9o?si=vKu5f5Embgs35wMJ
@crazybaker1 thanks, tried this earlier today and it works... to some degree..., but it would be nice to make a more thorough job. Shark really needs to make it so we can remove that bloody roller. You're right it's a total pain in the beeeep! 😄
@NM-gy6tx, the roller is not very easy at all , best left for the Shark dealer 😀
I used Japonesque tweezers and they worked just use the wedge not the tip.but i recommend screwdriver if you have one as i only needed to remove something and not the brushroll itself.
Thanks so much, I’ve been hurting my back only using the handhold part as I couldn’t work out how to open the bottom part. I found a huge blockage and now my hoover is working again 🙏🏽
I found also if you got an older vacuum cleaner with a lot of power, use this to clean out, especially getting carpet out of the pipes laters Steve 😀
Well that’s not hair lol
We covered that point in the other videos 😀😀
Good walkthrough. You could clean it faster with an air compressor or compressed air. Or switch brushed to one with bristles all around it.
Mate I was thinking about that, I was almost ready to go out to my garage, and then thinking about it most don't have air in the garage laters
@@crazybaker1 No but they have compressed air cans, and those like me have an electric computer duster. It is essentially a leaf blower but the size of a a tea pot lol. I use it for blowing out electronics, drying up liquids, all sorts of things.
@@JTBivens sounds cool 😀
Great video, I got my vac sucking‼️😃
Great help thanks, btw true about the hair gets on the rollers, sometimes have to use scissors. and the cone shaped thingy in the dustbin needs to be cleaned. otherwise you will get a flashing red 'battery' signal and the cleaner will power off. thnx
On mine I don't have a red light, but you can hear the noise from the motor itself, it's like a helicopter taking off 😀 it's nice to hear from other people who are having problems 😀 laters Steve 👍
The hole near the anti hair wrap rotor of my vacuum cleaner was CLOGGED full of rubbish! And I was wondering why it wasn't working :'D
Thank you for this fantastic video!!
You are so welcome. This has been a nightmare since I bought it 🙂 just as well I kept my real vacuum cleaner to clean the Shark 😂🤣😅
Great video mine doesn’t suck think the blockage must be in the main part which I couldn’t open now another try .thanks
Your welcome 🙂
Thank you
Your welcome 😀
So i take it the main roller does not come out?
Yes, it can, but unfortunately, unless your Vac is broken 😢 don't go there. If you want to see someone opening it up, then check out other sites where you can see them open the Shark up, very interesting video 😀
@@crazybaker1 I am loving the Shark so far but i can see once they break you are in trouble :)
@MrRawUK apart from a few problems, we just love it, ❤️
Thanks a lot. Youre a real life saver!
Your welcome mate 👍
yep my roller is always tangled with hair pretty annoying when i bought it to avoid that but hey ho
Yes you are, just have to live with it 😀😀
I find this Shark does not really get into grooves on floor tiles in kitchen. Did anyone else find that?
I found it was ok when I cleaned it out, but when the filters needed changing it was very poor at getting the dust etc out of the grooves 😀
I find that the
stick on this vacuum gets blocked
Good video, very helpful, but please; don't be like the Americans. You said "guys" 11 times in the presentation, and even better, please wear the baseball cap the correct way round, not like our colonial cousins who don't look their best when wearing it back to front.
Thanks you for your reply 😀, yes I have now addressed the guys in my latest videos, hat is because my hair needs cutting as we was in a lock down, great today I have just had it cut 😀😀 I must get some hats made with Crazy Baker on them, all my hats have car advertising on them, so I don't get paid from them so back side is best 😀 laters Steve
But how can I get the clear bit clean mines almost black!
I know what you are saying, our is now 2 months old, so I am go to wash in warm water with a bit of washing liquid, now for the head I am raping a small cloth around the big roller with the brush wet, and just turn the roller round, now you will need to this more than once, now replace the cloth with a dry one. I amazed how clean it turned out. Funny I have done this at the same time as this reply 😀😀 laters Steve
@@crazybaker1 thank you!!
brilliant thank you so much, really really helpful :)
your welcome
Thank you so much for this Crazy Baker. I have just purchased my shark after i had wasted money on two other vacuums that simply stopped working after 6 months, they were a false economy . I have subscribed and will use your advice as needed.
Your welcome mate 👍 😀 laters Steve
Hi! So helpful to see you can clean it. Mine has so much dust build up and some was plaster dust (thanks to builders using it!). I can't seem to get the inside foam bit off without it ripping (it's in the lid that you flip up)? Any tips? I can see there's some debris collected beneath it...
Is this the foam under the filter ?
never let your builders use the shark! :) Give them a Henry. Its almost indestructable. Use bagless for the first clean.
Fantastic video! Thanks so much. Mine was full of dog hair, so glad I got it cleaned up. Thanks again!
It's hard to believe so many different people with pets have had problems 😀 your welcome laters Steve
Great video! Thank you!! Just what I needed and hoover all clean ! :)
That's the one 😀
If it starts making loud noises check what surface it says when hoovering. Spent best part of an hour cleaning & taking it apart as well as a few cuss words and it had been knocked to hard surface!!
Mind the brush had got a LOAD of hair (mine) wrapped around it badly!! Needed cutting off. Maybe because on wrong surface setting it picked it up better.
A self help dvd should be included with purchase.
Nicely said 👌 👏
Ps Not only was it very noisy it shuddered and l really thought it was going to blow up on me. Next day and it's acting like an Angel 😇 again. Note to self, start cleaning filters (when taking it apart trying to find out what was up l noticed they were filthy!!) & add to check list to make sure you haven't knocked the surface by accident. (friend was hoovering for me & he knocked it).
How do you clean inside the tubes? Mine are blocked I think
Hi yes I did 😀 my one was full of hairs and bits of paper, one thing I have notice if the filter is not clear the air doesn't suck well and this could cause the blockage, so I now hold on the maximum power, the only down side is the battery runs out quickly 😀 laters Steve
I use a long piece of dowel, cheap from B&Q
Great video - I've found that a 20p coin fits the screws perfectly.
Dig deep 👌 thanks, mate 👍
So if you break it , bin it !
Thank you for the video. Very helpful. Just cleaned out shark and the amount of hair wedged under the front roller was an embarrassment!
Mate I know what you mean 😉 not sure how people think the dog hair don't get stuck round the roller 😉 🙄 😜
Any idea how to clean hair wrapped around mini wheels? 🙈
You can just pop them out
Where can i buy those filters? I search on internet and i can.t find it to buy.

I find the end of a handle of a desert spoon fits those plastic screws well. Also it's a bit disappointing you can't easily remove the anti hair power fin roller for ease of cleaning
I have took it out, but don't go there ⛔️ it took me 4 hours and it does not go back together well, it's a bit like a airfix kit with no instructions 😀
Hi great video. Do you know how to get the large anti hair wrap roller out? I need to clean the plastic window underneath as it’s so filthy I can’t see the roller through it from the top! Will I need to unscrew and take the whole head apart? Also the tiny little castors are completely clogged up with fur. Thanks.
I have had it out, but don't waste time do this, it doesn't seem to go back that easy, the small Castors you can just pull out and then they pop back in, but generally you just need to clean it with soapy water, best thing I got was a bottle wash brush, great for getting in smaller parts 😀
I had the same problem 😕 ended up rolling a damp cloth into the roller and out the other side a few times to clean it and it's clean now so all good 👍
Thanks for this, have just cleaned my very dirty Shark!!!
Funny thing is I have just finished mine again today 😀
Thankyou for your step by step cleaning lovely and helpful and easy to follow and I now have a clean hoover xx
I am happy I can be helpful ☺️
Any tips how to get a two pence piece out of the suction pipe ??
Congratulations 👏 the winner 🏆

Did you not read the instruction leaflet that came in the box with your baseball hat?
🤣😂🤣
In all fairness that isn't hair that's nylon thread
Yes I think the same after I did the video it was to late 😅 carpet hairs, funny thing is now not a problem, used carpet not new, I did a my hair test and it was fine, only thing was the head needed cleaning out, still love the easy pick up and go 😀 laters Steve 😄
got paperclip stuck on other side of rear roller - so how do you take the brush roller out to get at things like that that you can see through the plastic from the top?
You don't 😀 short for you 😀
Try cutting a piece of wire coathanger to hook it out
Thank you for uploading. This was def helpful
Your welcome 😀
Thank you for sharing this video. I found it so helpful as I’m a new owner and didn’t know what to do when my front roller popped. Now it’s been cleaned AND repaired 😊.
Thank you 😀 laters
I cannot believe the stuff that was clogging up my soft roller. Thank you for your helpful video.
thank you so much for your informative video, great help for a lazy, non tech person like me x
Your welcome 🙂
thanks for posting the Video , not sure if mine needs a proper Service at Shark , doesn't seem to be working quite right . I want to strip as much of it down as possible to clean everything .
I find that most of the time cleaning the shark helps 😀
@@crazybaker1 Thanks again , I done it , I spent about 25 minutes Deep cleaning the Shark and it seems as good as New again !! , you have saved me a fortune :)
@jimshaw68 your welcome mate 👍 😀
Had my cordless shark pet hair for over a month and no hair was attached to my roller🙌🏼
Perhaps it is the type of hair 🤔 for us it's carpet hair is the problem, but now it's not that bad because vacuuming the new carpet regularly it's ok 🙂 laters Steve
Can you rinse the clear bin part in warm water? Not sure if there are any electrical parts!
Hi Natalie best way is to rinse it, just remove the rear filters first, no electrical part at all, once done just dry out, I put a cloth round and then leave in a warm place 😀👍 laters Steve
Thank you for video is really great ? Is this hoover good to buy ? Or shell I go for something else ? Thank you again
Funny thing is all battery vacuums are around about the same, they are all plastic, the most expensive ones do have some more power and better build quality, but it's down to the price at the end of the day, for us we have Shark for quick cleaning for carpets, but for all the time we have a electric meile which walks over everything it's a old one, so basely it's down to how much you want to pay, now the shops are now all open, I would recommend going to John Lewis and test some out, in our store has at least 20 different vacuum cleaner for sale and to test out, best of luck 😀 laters Steve
@@crazybaker1 how about corded one such shark Hz 500ukt? Do you think this will be any better ?
@@RandomVibes505 to be honest not test out that one, thing is today most vacuums are not very powerful because of EU regulations, don't forget you need the vacuums for your car like us 😉 yes you need to go to John Lewis, I am not sure if you can test them out at curry's but they sell loads of them 😀👍
