Verdict

The Shark NZ801UKTSB is a corded upright bagless vacuum cleaner featuring a powerful 750W motor, a 0.8-litre dust capacity, and an 8-metre power cord paired with a 1.5-metre stretch hose. Key characteristics and pros include its dual-bristle DuoClean floorhead with integrated LED headlights for switching seamlessly between carpets and hard floors, Anti Hair Wrap technology that actively removes wrapped hair from the brush-roll, and a versatile Powered Lift-Away design that detaches the canister to clean stairs or tight spaces under furniture, all backed by a high-efficiency HEPA filter and Anti-Allergen Complete Seal. However, notable cons include its relatively heavy 6.5kg in-use weight, which can make it feel cumbersome to maneuver, an operational noise level of 80 dB, and a manual, non-retractable power cord wrap.
