Shark Anti Hair Wrap Upright Vacuum Cleaner with Lift-Away, Pet Model in Green

Yes, this model is designed to transition between carpets and hard floors without manual adjustment, and the Lift-Away pod detaches so you can clean stairs, upholstery, and awkward areas as a handheld unit. Shark's engineering keeps the motor in the detached pod rather than the wand, so suction is maintained when using Lift-Away mode rather than dropping off as it does with some competitors. The Anti Hair Wrap brushroll is a fixed feature across both upright and detached modes.

This model suits pet owners with a mix of hard floors and low-to-medium pile carpets who deal with consistent hair and fur wrap issues — the Anti Hair Wrap technology actively cuts and removes hair from the brushroll rather than just resisting it. It also works well in homes that need flexible cleaning between floors and upstairs rooms thanks to the Lift-Away design. The honest limitation is weight: at around 7.5kg for the full upright unit, it is heavier than many cordless alternatives, which can become tiring during longer cleaning sessions on stairs or in multi-storey homes.

Based on 284 tracked data points, the lowest recorded price for this model is £169.99 — which is exactly what it's selling for now — and the average tracked price is £170.34, meaning the current price is essentially at the historic floor. The listed RRP of £269.99 is the ceiling price it has hit, so you are buying at the cheapest end of its recorded range rather than a manufactured discount from an inflated anchor price. This is a genuinely strong price for this specific model.

The Shark at £169.99 undercuts most Miele entry-level models, which typically start closer to £200–£250 for equivalent cleaning performance, and crucially Miele's standard range lacks the hair-wrap prevention that makes this Shark specifically suited to pet owners. Where Miele has an edge is in build longevity and bagged hygiene filtration — better for allergy sufferers who want sealed dust disposal — whereas the Shark uses a bagless system that requires more frequent bin emptying in heavy-shedding households. If pet hair management is the primary concern, the Shark's dedicated Anti Hair Wrap Pet Model is the more targeted choice at this price.
