Verdict

The Shark NZ780UKT is a corded, bagless upright pet vacuum cleaner powered by a 750W motor and equipped with an 8m power cord, a 1.5m hose, and an extra-large 2.5L dust capacity. It offers exceptional performance across carpets and hard floors using a motorised chevron-pattern floorhead integrated with Anti Hair Wrap Plus technology to automatically remove hair from the brush roll. Key pros include its versatile Powered Lift-Away design that easily transforms the unit into a lightweight portable cleaner for stairs, an Anti-Allergen Complete Seal trapping 99.9% of dust, and built-in Anti-Odour capsules to maintain freshness. However, notable cons include its substantial weight of 6.5kg, which makes it heavy to manoeuvre on deep pile carpets, a slightly stiff hose that can compromise stability, and its right-side cable placement that can feel awkward during operation.
