The upholstery head is even smaller, for terrific suction, and has a lint brush ahead of the aperture. It’s best used in repeated, pulling-towards-you motions and took quite a bit of elbow grease, but achieved proper deep-clean results.

The powerful TurboTool will remove embedded dirt and pet hair from various above the floor surfaces around your home. That’s where the Air Lift’s stretch hose will come in handy. You can detach it from the main brush head and attach one of the accessories, such as the crevice tool, to reach otherwise unreachable areas. The extendable hose stretches about 1.5m. The release is located at about ankle-height on the main unit, meaning transitioning isn’t the most seamless and you’ll have to bend down to unclip it. Additionally, the handle grip can also be detached from the upright unit and reattached to the hose to provide a better grip and additional, extendible, reach. Most impressively, this model boasts Shark’s most advanced anti hair wrap technology to date, removing strands from the rollers as it goes along. Unlike previous Shark models it’s almost 100 per cent effective, and that’s coming from someone with four long-haired cats (and two Labradors). Cordless vacuums are on their way to being the only game in town: people love how light and portable they are compared to corded vacuums, especially in flats and small houses. Your mind might automatically cast to Dyson. But cheaper and more widely available, American challengers Shark now rival them in popularity.The Vax UCUESHV1 Air Lift Steerable Pet Pro Vacuum Cleaner would suit those who endure the difficulties of pet hair removal. It's a great performer on the carpet, but not so much on floorboards, so perhaps seek out alternative options if you have hard floors. The Vax Air Lift Pet Pro's steerable technology allows you to navigate smoothly around furniture and other obstacles with ease. Upright vacuums certainly have their benefits. They’re typically more nimble than their cylinder-based cousins and also take up considerably less space when in storage. But on the other hand, they also have their limitations where it comes to vacuuming anything that isn’t at floor-level. In that regard, the Vax Air Lift Steerable Pet is almost the best of both worlds through a clever transformation. Design The Air Lift uses multi-cyclonic technology, which ensures there’s no loss of suction regardless of the contents of the bin. Using our suction meter, I found that the Air Lift had 19.5kPa of suction when empty and indeed this was maintained when the bin was at capacity. It’s not the highest score we’ve seen, especially from a corded vacuum but, in testing, it proved more than adequate. I have a few small gripes with the carpet cleaner. Firstly, it leaked dirty water if I left it stood upright for a few minutes (though this was easy to clean up). Secondly, despite repeated passes, some stains were too deep-rooted to lift - although the SpinScrub hand tool attachment was the most effective. It didn’t struggle with the more recent stains, so I suppose I shouldn’t expect miracles. Thirdly, I found if I sprayed too much from the pre-treatment wand, then ran the floor head over the same spot, it became extremely soapy and hard to rinse.

The Air Lift Steerable Pet includes a 3-in-1 tool, which has a brush, crevice and upholstery head. Conveniently, this clips to the side of the Air Lift when not in use, meaning it’s easily accessible. A Turbo Tool is also included, which is a bear-claw like head designed for getting-up more heavily embedded mess such as pet hair. The rubbery claws do well at digging into upholstery to release stubborn dirt. The Vax UCUESHV1 Air Lift Steerable Pet Pro Vacuum Cleaner brings innovation to vacuuming with its removable cylinder compartment; once removed, this nifty part of the vacuum cleaner becomes its own handheld device which is designed to reach the more awkward places. We found this innovation more than useful, but it is worth noting that the cylinder is fairly heavy to hold and you would struggle to use it separately from the main body for long. Other benefits of this design worth mentioning include the washable filters and the easy-to-empty dust canister.
