Shark Anti Hair Wrap Upright Vacuum Cleaner with Lift-Away in Silver

The headline feature here is not the suction — it's the Anti Hair Wrap technology, which actively removes hair from the brushroll as it spins rather than leaving you to scissors it out by hand every few weeks. For anyone with long hair, pet fur, or both, that single engineering decision changes the entire maintenance experience of owning an upright vacuum. The Lift-Away pod also detaches so you can take the motor and dustbin to stairs or upholstery without dragging the full unit behind you — genuinely useful in a two-storey home, not just a marketing diagram.

Who Is This For?

This is the right machine for households where hair — human or animal — is the primary cleaning enemy, particularly in homes with carpeted stairs, rugs, and hard floor transitions. Pet owners and families with long-haired members will see the biggest day-to-day benefit from the self-cleaning brushroll. If you live alone in a small flat with no pets and mostly hard floors, a lighter cordless model would serve you better and cost considerably less — take a look at our best cordless vacuum deals for that use case.

What Buyers Say

Owners of the NZ691UK consistently praise the brushroll's ability to handle mixed flooring without manual adjustment, and the Lift-Away function gets strong marks for making it feel like two machines in one. The most repeated complaint is weight — at around 7.5kg, it is noticeably heavier than comparable corded uprights, and carrying the full unit up stairs (rather than using the detached pod) is tiring. Battery-free corded performance is praised, but the power cable length has also drawn criticism for being shorter than expected.

The Deal

Currently priced at £149.99, down from £249.99, the saving is £100 — a 40% reduction. This product is newly tracked on our site, so there is no historical price data to confirm whether £249.99 was a genuine long-term retail price or a briefly inflated figure, and that context genuinely matters before you commit. What we can say is that £149.99 sits at the lower end of what this model typically appears at across UK retailers, and for a corded upright with this feature set, it represents solid value.
