The IZ251UKT’s body feels bulkier than many cordless vacuums. It’s also a bit heavier (at around 4.1kg), which can make long cleaning sessions more tiring compared with ultra-lightweight models. The upside is that the vacuum has a 0.7 litre dust capacity, which is bigger than many cordless vacuums, and the motor provides powerful suction.A bonus is that the IZ251UKT’s floorhead has Shark’s anti hair-wrap technology. This consists of several combs that prevent hair from becoming caught round the brush bar, so you don’t need to cut hair away from the roller. We don’t think it’s 100% effective, but it does a good job at forcing hair into the bin, especially if your vacuum has to deal with long hair.

Like most Shark vacuums, the IZ251UKT feels easy to manoeuvre and balanced. It’s not the lightest cordless we’ve reviewed, but it’s not a struggle to steer around furniture due to the swivel steering system. It’s also easy to hold up when cleaning above the floor, although you may find this tiring after a while. Enjoy an amazing run-time of up to 40 minutes* per charge. The removable battery can be charged on or off the vacuum, wherever suits you. *In ION power mode, with non-motorised tool. If you don’t need the mini motorised tool, then the IZ251UK could save you a bit of money. Shark IZ201UKT Vs Shark IZ251UKT The IZ251UKT has Shark’s Flexology design. This is effectively a joint in the vacuum’s wand, which you can use to clean under furniture.

Again, the IZ201UKT is a similar vacuum, but with different included accessories. While the mini motorised tool is included in this model, you don’t get a second battery. This halves the effective run-time, although the IZ201UKT is a cheaper option. Shark IZ251UKT Verdict The right option depends on your budget, whether you have pets, and if you need the longer run-time. Even if you don’t have pets, however, we still think it’s worth paying extra to get a Shark vacuum with the motorised pet tool, as it’s brilliant when the vac is in handheld mode. Dyson V11 Absolute Vs Shark IZ251UKT If you have some areas that need deeper cleaning, the Shark Anti Hair Wrap IZ201UKT comes with a handy trigger that allows you to boost the suction power.

The Shark doesn’t come with an LCD screen to show remaining battery time, such as the Dyson V11 Absolute. This isn’t an essential feature, but it’s great to be able to see the remaining charge on the Dyson V11, especially as it updates depending on which mode or tool you’re using. Relying on three LED lights on the Shark means you’re always wondering how much battery you’ve really got left. We really like the IZ251UKT, as it combines many of the best features of Shark uprights with the convenience of a cordless vacuum. It also does an excellent job of cleaning hard floors and has a longer run-time than most competing models. If you’re looking for a powerful cordless that can handle pet hair, then the Shark IZ251UKT is definitely an option to consider. Shark IZ251UKT Price & Value for MoneyAll the buttons are conveniently placed, making it easy to switch modes or activate the boost function. We also like the comfortable handle.
