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

Note: In the CH950UKT manual, Shark specifically mentions that you shouldn’t use a hair dryer (or any other drying tool) to speed up the process. The filters should only be air-dried. Step 5: Re-Assemble The CH950UKT There’s no HEPA filter with the Shark Handvac, which is disappointing for a pet vacuum. A HEPA filter is more effective at containing dust and pet dander, so it’s a good choice for people with animals and allergies. The more expensive WV200UK uses this filter. Who should consider buying the Handvac? And how does it compare to other handheld vacuums? Keep reading our Shark Handvac CH950UKT review to find out. Overview of the Shark CH950UKT Handvac’s Features According to the product specifications, the 10.8V lithium-ion battery powers the Shark Handvac for up to 10 minutes. This is around average for a handheld vacuum, but is only suitable for spot cleaning.

Shark Cordless HandVac CH950UKT review - Which? Shark Cordless HandVac CH950UKT review - Which?

The Shark CH950UKT is a powerful handheld vacuum cleaner that’s great for cleaning up pet hair. It’s important to keep the filters clean, however, to ensure that the vacuum doesn’t lose suction strength over time. 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.The Shark HandVac CH950UKT has a two-part filter, which can be accessed by removing the dust cup from the main body of the vacuum cleaner. Cleaning both filters is important to maintain airflow through your vacuum and prevent suction loss. 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 also found that the flip-down action of the bin system caused a cloud of dust to be released. Most of the debris and dust still ended up in the bin, but it’s certainly not the best choice for people with allergies. Maintenance The Shark CH950UKT is a powerful handheld vacuum cleaner that offers great cleaning performance for fast, easy cleaning whenever or wherever you need it.For example, the CH950UKT is an excellent vacuum for hard floors and stairs. We also really like that it comes with a motorised pet tool, as this greatly improves the carpet and upholstery cleaning performance compared with most competing vacuums. Need to clean your Shark CH950UKT? We’ve put together a simple guide to cleaning this handheld vacuum’s filters, including pictures showing how to perform each step. Both of these are handheld vacuum cleaners from Shark, but they are built for very different purposes. We found the dusting brush useful for more delicate surfaces, although we felt that the fibres were stiffer than we would like. Be careful when using the dusting brush on very delicate surfaces, as the bristles could cause small scratches. With that said, we tested the Shark CH950UKT and found it lasted around 13 minutes with the motorised pet tool attached (although this is without active cleaning). While this still isn’t enough for a deep clean, it’s perfectly acceptable for the types of cleaning jobs the Shark is designed to handle. The four-hour charge time is also around average for a handheld.
