Verdict

The Shark NZ801UKT is a corded upright bagless vacuum cleaner equipped with a 750-watt motor, a 0.83-litre dust capacity, and an 8-metre power cord that delivers an operating radius of approximately 10.17 metres. Its primary characteristics include a dual-brushroll DuoClean floorhead with LED headlights, Powered Lift-Away technology for portable cleaning, and an Anti-Allergen Complete Seal with a washable HEPA filter. Main pros include a tangle-free Anti Hair Wrap brushroll, exceptional pet hair pick-up via the dedicated TruePet tool, and versatile configuration shifts for stairs and under-furniture cleaning, though it is held back by minor cons such as a relatively heavy weight of 6.5 kg and a narrower 24 cm floorhead width that requires more passes.
