Shark CZ250UKT

The Shark CZ500UKT is equipped with various convenient features, such as the Flexology feature, anti hair wrap technology and LED headlights that make cleaning super easy.
The Flexology feature means that you can bend the tube to reach under low-lying furniture like the sofa, cupboard and bed. It is a great help for those who have back problems because they won’t have to bend down while vacuuming. Another advantage of the Flexology feature is that it allows you to fold the tube, so that you can store the device standing up.

The Shark CZ500UKT comes with 4 cleaning attachments: the Anti Hair Wrap Floor Nozzle, Crevice Tool, Upholstery Tool, and Anti Hair Wrap Power Tool. The Anti Hair Wrap Floor Nozzle is the main floor nozzle, and it prevents hairs from getting stuck in the bristles. It is very convenient for those who have long hair or furry pets at home. It is also equipped with LED headlights that allow you to clean in dark areas.

The crevice tool has a long, narrow nozzle that effectively cleans in corners and hard-to-reach areas. Meanwhile, the Anti Hair Wrap Power Tool is great for removing pet hairs from soft surfaces such as the sofa, bed and car seats.
The Shark CZ500UKT has 3 cleaning modes: carpet mode, hard floor mode and other surfaces. You can switch between them with the controls that are conveniently located on the handle.

This vacuum cleaner is bagless, employing a removable dust bin. Not having to replace dust bags will save you quite a bit of money in the long run. However, the disadvantage with this particular model. is that it has a small 1.6 L dust bin that you will have to empty out frequently. By comparison, the AEG VX9-2-ÖKO has a disposable dust bag with a capacity of 5.0 L.

Another minor inconvenience of the Shark CZ500UKT, is that it is quite heavy despite being advertised as lightweight. At 7.99 ]kg, it can strain your arms if you carry it up the stairs. The Philips FC9741/09 has a lighter weight of 5.5kg, which might be more bearable for those who have weak arms.

Overall, the Shark CZ500UKT may be on the expensive side, but its anti hair tangle feature makes it a worthwhile option for those who have long hair or furry pets, and the Flexology technology is great for those with back problems.
