Shark TSV 19/02/22
Is Hetty much different or better than her brother Henry?!It looks like it isn't a rechargeable model, so I'd just like to say to anyone who's thinking of buying themselves a new vacuum cleaner and isn't bothered about it being cordless, then get yourselves a Hetty! I've got the compact version and it's seriously the best vacuum I've ever used. I know it's got bags, but they give you two to start with. The bags are enormous and last ages, the filter is in bag, so no fiddly filters to wash and clean. No hair wrap because there's no brush bar to get clogged up, no horrible cannisters to empty and clean. Replacement bags are cheap and widely available, and what's more she cleans carpets to an amazing standard and extremely quietly too!
Oh that’s interesting...I bought what I think was the first Shark TSV Q did, a few years ago. It was a corded upright, no attachments and cost about £80. It's still going strong.
Brilliant bit of kit for big areas but obviously not so much for corners etc. So I used a Dyson stick one for quick cleans (bought from one of the outlet shops for about £100). The motorised head on the Dyson gave up the ghost recently so was thinking of getting another stick type vacuum but instead bought the last Shark Duo (corded) TSV. I love it. OH used it to do the car recently and was raving about it as well.
Since giving up full time work I do a couple of cleaning jobs, where we use Henry's or similar. I hate them with a passion.... I find them awkward and cumbersome and wouldn't give one house room.
I bought this one….but was about £90 cheaper when it was a TSV. It’s not particularly heavy and very easy to manoeuvre.Oh that’s interesting...
Do you know what the Shark duo model number was - and what does the duo bit refer to??
I got my Miele cylinder vacuum because a previous carer hated uprights.
I’ve also used Henry’s when I used to do some cleaning jobs when I was well.
I thought it was robust and did a decent job but I too found it a nightmare to manoeuvre! And it used to drive me mad because it was so big and took up half the floor!
MUCH prefer an upright!
Current carer thinks the Miele is a good Hoover (she has one too), but again finds it a bit unwieldy! And a nightmare to store...
Oh thanks for that!I bought this one….but was about £90 cheaper when it was a TSV. It’s not particularly heavy and very easy to manoeuvre.
Doesn’t stand upright on its own as the weight is in the top and it folds down for storage. Not overly noisy either.
Oh yes! He’s unbearable...Phil Parker could never sell me anything, I just can't listen to his silly style of presenting, imo he hasn't improved over the years. Shark must think he is ok as they keep having him back.
Totally Loopy LouI was just looking at this Shark and quite tempted!
The thing putting me off it that it still looks a bit unwieldy for an upright and the weight?
My brother and SIL have a shark and swear by it with two choc labs and 3 kids...
I’m pet-less atm But Alfie has left plenty of fluff for me still!
And my mum has recently got a puppy who comes to visit - so exciting! - plus I lose hair like nothing on earth so would want a pet version!
Has Qvc done it before as a TSV or otherwise?
Or does anyone have this model at all?
Round it on amazon but it’s a bit confusing bc under this model number there are 3 different options?!
It gets very good reviews on John Lewis and revoo but weight is the main negative.
Not much mention of noise either...
