How long does the battery actually last?

Shark rates it at up to 70 minutes, but that is in the lowest power mode with no powered brush roll. Expect much shorter runs in boost or on carpet with the sensors triggering extra power.

Does it work on both carpet and hard floors?

Yes. It has two brush rolls and multiple sensors, and PowerDetect adjusts suction to the surface and the dirt it finds. You do not need to change heads between floor types.

Will long hair wrap around the brush roll?

Anti Wrap Plus is designed to pick up hair without it tangling around the roll. It reduces wrapping rather than eliminating it entirely, so occasional cleaning of the roll is still sensible.

Can it reach under furniture?

Flexology lets the wand bend so the cleaner head lies flat and slides under low beds and sofas. The bin and motor unit stay above, so the low profile is at the floor end.

What is covered by the warranty?

Register the vacuum online to get a five-year warranty on the vacuum. The battery is covered for two years only.

Is it a good choice against other Shark cordless models?

It sits at the top of Shark's cordless range thanks to the PowerDetect sensors, dual brush rolls and Flexology. If you mainly clean hard floors and want something lighter, a simpler Stick model does the job with less weight.
