Shark Handheld Cordless Vacuum Cleaner with Pet Tool, Crevice Tool & Dusting Brush, 80 W, 0.45 liters, 10 Minute Run-Time, Washable Filter, Black & Yellow, CH950UKT

Product Information

You’ll get up to ten minutes of run time, which is perfect for on on-the-spot cleaning. And, the no-fade Lithium-ion battery ensures lasting power and performance. There’s also a handy battery light indicator which lets you know when the power is low. Shark Accessories For what you can realistically expect from a vacuum of this size and power, the Shark CH950UKT performs admirably, and considering its handy form factor, it’s easy to have on hand to clear up any mess before it gets worked in. We think the Dyson has more powerful suction and all-round superior cleaning performance. But it’s one of the most expensive handheld cleaners on the market, unlike the budget Shark vac. It’s also bulkier than the CH950UKT. We found the CH950UKT provides excellent cleaning performance for a handheld vacuum. It was better at removing pet hair and dirt than most handhelds we’ve tested – even some with a much higher price – due to the powered brush bar and strong suction. It’s also great for cleaning hard floors, sofas, and car seats.

Shark Classic Handheld Pet Vacuum CH950UKT

Let’s start by clarifying that the Shark Handvac isn’t supposed to replace your main cleaner. It’s intended for short bursts of cleaning, so it doesn’t need the same level of performance as an upright or cordless vacuum. The Shark CH950UKT is a powerful handheld vacuum cleaner that offers great cleaning performance for fast, easy cleaning whenever or wherever you need it. We found this tool to be effective at cleaning carpets, rugs, mats, and car seats. This is due to the extra agitation, meaning that the vacuum doesn’t need to rely entirely on suction power to remove debris and hair.

One of the best car vacuums you can buy

The Dyson V7 Trigger is another handheld vacuum alternative to the Shark CH950UKT. They’re almost identical in weight with the Dyson a fraction lighter at 1.38kg Vs 1.39kg for the Shark. But Dyson has managed to get a larger 0.54 litre dust canister and a bigger, better battery. You also can’t remove the brush bar from the pet tool, which makes removing hair more difficult. Additionally, there’s no option to remove and replace the battery.

Note: If you’ve seen a version with rubber fins, this is the US model. The UK models have bristles. Other Tools and Accessories Instead of needing to detach a canister, the CH950UKT uses a one-touch emptying system. There’s a button on the side for opening the dust compartment door. It releases the dirt as soon as you push it, so make sure you do this over a bin (ideally an outdoor bin). We found that the combination of lightweight design and mini motorised tool makes the Shark cordless handheld vacuum cleaner excellent for cleaning stairs. The bristles dig into carpet fibres to pull up dust and dirt. The crevice tool is also great for whizzing around the edges. You can now remove the filter frame from the dust cup. Be gentle when doing this to avoid damaging the frame. Step 2: Remove Both Filters From The Filter Housing

The Shark Cordless HandVac Pet Model is a great-value handheld vacuum cleaner, ideal for anyone on a tight budget

The Shark CH950UKT / Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro Plus is one of the better handheld vacuums we’ve tested, so it’s easy to understand why it’s so popular. Its size, shape and weight make it perfect for cleaning your car, with its range of tools helping to ensure it’s always best suited for the task at hand. You can also wash the CH950UKT’s dust cup. Use the process above to remove the dust cup from the vacuum’s body, empty it into a bin, then with the lid open rinse the cup in cold water (don’t use any cleaning products or a dishwasher). Leave the lid open and place the cup on its side to allow it to dry for at least 24 hours. Only use cold water to clean the Shark CH950UKT’s filters. Never clean the filters with hot water, cleaning products, a dishwasher, or a machine wash. Step 4: Allow the Filters Time to Dry Fully
