The flexible wand makes it easy to glide across carpets and hard floors, with its Anti-Allergen Complete Seal capturing up to 99% of dust and allergens inside the vacuum.

The wand also cleverly bends under furniture and hard-to-reach places, which is pretty game-changing in itself.

If you're a pet owner, or often find you have to unclog your vacuum, Shark's Anti Hair Wrap Technology could be just what you've been missing. The bristle guard and comb actively removes hair from the bristle brush-roll as you clean, so you won't find yourself in a tangle.

The vacuum can also transform into a handheld device at the touch of a button to easily clean stairs, soft furnishings and surfaces.

The rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery has an up to 40 minute run time and the vacuum can be folded down for compact storage.
