In my tests, it coped with everything from clay-based and wood-pellet cat litter to pet fur and human hair without too much fuss. While the Shark can’t quite match the Dyson Cyclone V10 for manoeuvrability or sheer cleaning power, it does a pretty good job of sucking up dirt. Shark DuoClean Cordless review: Cleaning performance To make matters worse, the DuoClean isn’t the easiest thing to manoeuvre, especially if you ramp up the suction the power of the motor head, at which point it attempts to drag itself across the carpet on its own accord. The Dyson Cyclone V10 with its motorised brush head weighs a far easier to lift 2.58kg and, as a result, is a much less tiring vacuum cleaner to use than the Shark. While the cordless unit itself is reasonably light at 1.57kg compared to the Dyson Cyclone V10’s 1.65kg, when you add the 618g hinged wand and beefy motorised head, that rises to a hefty 4kg. This works beautifully but it does have a flipside: the extra mechanism required add weight. It’s also possible to charge each battery individually without the docking station.
The DuoClean also comes with a dual-bay charging station, which you can use to charge both of the lithium ion batteries it’s supplied with simultaneously. The unit I’m reviewing doesn’t come with the motor-driven pet hair tool but there is a crevice attachment, an “anti-allergen” dust brush and a couple of smaller brushes for use on curtains and in smaller areas. It’s motorised, comes equipped rather ostentatiously with LED headlights, and has both soft and brush-based rollers, allowing it to be deployed on carpets, rugs and hard floors without swapping between heads. The main DuoClean head is the star of the show here. The Shark DuoClean Cordless is clearly no ordinary cordless vacuum cleaner and this is reflected, not only in the cleaner’s innovative design but also in the number of attachments and accessories it comes with. Second, is that its wand attachment (the long tubular stick that connects the head and main cleaning unit) has a reverse hinge, allowing you to clean more easily under furniture and in other awkward spaces.Ĭheck price Shark DuoClean Cordless review: Features, design and accessories The DuoClean comes two removable lithium-ion batteries, which means when it runs out you can quickly swap one out and continue cleaning using the other battery.
First, it’s a touch more flexible when it comes to charging. The Shark DuoClean is different from the Dyson in a couple of key areas, though. It has a pistol-grip vacuum unit, just like the Dyson, comes with a motorised head with dual soft and brush rollers, and it’s rechargeable so you can use it untethered from the mains. The DuoClean Cordless (with “Flexology” no less) is a direct rival to the Dyson Cyclone V10. Shark DuoClean Cordless review: What you need to know But there are plenty of other manufacturers vying for a slice of the cordless vacuum pie and Shark is producing some of the more interesting products in this area.
And, yes, its Cyclone V10 (and the V8 before it) cleaner is an exceptional product. When it comes to cordless vacuum cleaners you could be forgiven for thinking that Dyson owned the market.
