Shark IZ251UKT Verdict If you don’t need the mini motorised tool, then the IZ251UK could save you a bit of money. Shark IZ201UKT Vs Shark IZ251UKT This makes it a solid choice for people who suffer from allergies, although you’ll need to ask someone else to empty it into an outdoor bin to prevent dust escaping. Shark IZ251UKT Emptying & Cleaning It’s worth mentioning that this is the maximumrun-time without using a motorised tool. When the DuoClean or mini pet tool are attached, the run-time will be less.

Other accessories include a dusting brush and upholstery tool. It also comes with a large 30cm crevice tool. Many modern vacuums only include smaller crevice tools, so it’s great that the IZ251UKT has a tool that’s long enough to get into tight spaces. One of the great things about the IZ251UKT is that it comes with a dual battery cradle. This allows you to charge both batteries at the same time, which takes around 3.5 hours. You can also charge one battery while it’s attached to the vacuum, and there are three indicator lights to show you the current level of charge.

It’s not the lightest cordless we’ve reviewed, but it’s not a struggle to steer around furniture due to the swivel steering system. It’s also easy to hold up when cleaning above the floor, although you may find this tiring after a while.A bonus is that the IZ251UKT’s floorhead has Shark’s anti hair-wrap technology. This consists of several combs that prevent hair from becoming caught round the brush bar, so you don’t need to cut hair away from the roller. We don’t think it’s 100% effective, but it does a good job at forcing hair into the bin, especially if your vacuum has to deal with long hair.

The IZ251UKT is also brilliant for cleaning hard floors, pet hair, and staircases. It provides strong suction when in its regular mode, while the boost option is useful when you need some extra power.Thinking of buying the Shark IZ251UKT?

Shark IZ251UKT Price & Value for Money Shark is well known for making hugely flexible vacuum cleaners, and this continues through to its cordless models. As with previous Shark cordless vacuum cleaners, the IZ251UKT has Shark’s Flexology technology. This enables the wand to fold over in half, letting the vacuum stand up by itself so that you can easily wheel it into a cupboard for storage.

This is effectively a joint in the vacuum’s wand, which you can use to clean under furniture. The right option depends on your budget, whether you have pets, and if you need the longer run-time. Even if you don’t have pets, however, we still think it’s worth paying extra to get a Shark vacuum with the motorised pet tool, as it’s brilliant when the vac is in handheld mode.
