Verdict

The Shark IZ201UK is a cordless stick vacuum cleaner weighing 4.1 kg and powered by a 25.2V removable lithium-ion battery that delivers a 40-minute runtime from a 3.5-hour charge. It operates at an 80 dB noise level and features a 0.7-litre dust capacity, DuoClean technology with a dual motorized brush-roll floorhead, Anti Hair Wrap self-cleaning technology, a flexible Flexology wand for reaching under furniture, and an Anti-Allergen Complete Seal with a HEPA filter. Main advantages include its versatility to seamlessly convert into a handheld unit, integrated bright LED headlights on the floorhead, and highly effective hair removal and allergen trapping. However, notable drawbacks include its top-heavy design, a wobbly wand extension, a significantly reduced battery life when using the power boost mode, and a dustbin that fills up quickly during heavy cleaning.
