Shark NZ801UKT Anti Hair Wrap Upright Vacuum Cleaner with Powered Lift-Away TruePet - Blue

The Shark NZ801UKT is an upright vacuum cleaner specifically engineered to tackle homes with pets and high-traffic areas. Its primary innovation is the Anti Hair Wrap technology, which uses a unique bristle-guard and comb system to actively separate and remove hair from the brushroll, preventing the frustrating tangles that commonly reduce suction and require manual cleaning. This makes it particularly effective for households with pets or long-haired residents. The vacuum also features Shark's signature DuoClean floorhead, which combines two brushrolls in one unit: a bristle brush for deep cleaning carpets and a soft front roller that pulls in debris and lifts dust from hard floors, allowing seamless transitions between different floor types without needing to switch attachments. A key practical feature is the Powered Lift-Away function. With a simple release, the main pod detaches from the floorhead and wand, transforming the upright into a portable, handheld vacuum. Crucially, the motorised brushroll remains powered even in this portable mode, providing consistent cleaning power for stairs, upholstery, and hard-to-reach areas under furniture. The vacuum is equipped with a comprehensive set of tools, including a 2-in-1 duster crevice tool, an upholstery brush, and a specialised Pet tool that also incorporates Anti Hair Wrap bristles for removing embedded hair from fabrics. For air quality, it uses a washable HEPA filter system within an Anti-Allergen Complete Seal, which is designed to trap 99.9% of dust and allergens inside the bin. This model is well-suited for pet owners, allergy sufferers, and larger homes. Its eight-metre power cord reduces the frequency of socket changes, while the 0.83-litre dust bin capacity offers a practical balance between power and convenience. The vacuum operates with two power settings, allowing users to adjust suction for different tasks. The combination of powerful suction, tangle-free technology, and versatile portability makes it a comprehensive cleaning solution designed to simplify routine chores and maintain a cleaner living environment across all floor surfaces and above-floor areas.
