As the market leaders in the UK, you may be trying to work out whether you should opt for a Shark or Dyson vacuum cleaner. Dyson typically has vacuums with a larger dust capacity that are even lighter than Shark’s vacuum, but Shark has a much larger offering for vacuum cleaners, especially cordless vacuums, so you’re much more likely to find one that meets your specific needs.

Lift-Away mode also makes it easier to get the tools where you want them. You can use accessories on the end of the wand, which provides far greater reach: I could easily clean around the ceiling in this mode. You can also remove the wand entirely, which is ideal for close-up jobs. Rachel Ogden is a UK-based freelance journalist with more than 20 years’ experience of writing, editing and sub-editing.

Not only is not cordless, but the main vacuum is on wheels like something from the 90s, and the head looks massive. Unlike a 90s hoover though, it is bagless.

Go portable with Powered Lift-Away.
