The UK loves upright vacuum cleaners – and it’s easy to see why.

The Shark AZ950UKT has a motor power of 750W.This is more than models like the Numatic Henry, but less than some of Miele’s vacuums.

However, during our testing and reviews, we’ve found that motor power is not closely correlated to cleaning performance, so this isn’t something to worry about.. Can You Wash The Vacuum’s Filters?.Yes, the felt and foam filters can be removed and washed.Shark recommends washing these every three months, but we recommend cleaning filters more frequently than this..

Comparison With Other Vacuums.Shark AZ950UKT vs Shark AZ910UKT.

These are very similar True Pet models that, at first glance, look identical and have the same features..

However, the AZ950UKT is the XL model with a wider floorhead and bigger dirt capacity.We also like the comfortable handle..

Unlike Dyson cordless vacuums, we like that the Shark IZ251UKT has a simple on/off toggle rather than a trigger system.If you hate the idea of needing to hold down a trigger to keep the vacuum running, then Shark’s system will be a welcome relief..

Unfortunately, the Shark IZ251UKT isn’t a freestanding model, as it topples backwards when left standing.This is where the Flexology wand is useful though, as the vacuum does stand up when folded.. Other Design Features.
