Noticed a massive difference when we went from a Dyson to Shark. Felt like a tink the first time we used it when we saw how much crap came out the carpets  Monty Ooh

Was looking at this in the summer because I'm a very boring man Fart Smelly

Verdict seemed to be Shark used to be the best cheaper alternative to a Dyson but since they've become a big name in their own right the prices have gone up so you don't really save much any more. Either just get yourself a Dyson (apparently more power?) or do what I did and go for some no-mark Chinese brand for a third of the price juanmayay

We had one but it only lasted a year before the joint in it snapped and it was unusable, apparently a common issue if you get a folding one. 

We replaced it with a Vax and it's much better.

We have a shark and I hate it. Good suction but dreadful manoeuvrability (lol) and just find it pretty difficult to use tbh. Best hoover we've ever had was a Sebo. Got it at the restaurant now and it's class. They also use them in Buckingham Palace so you know they're good jjay

Always wondered what happened to him.

We've got a Shark, it's got excellent suction and goes from hard floors to carpet easily enough, but it's heavy and is a pain for steering or doing the stairs.

Better than the previous Dyson though. Monty Oh Well

I use my George Foreman at least once a week, its class Warnock

Its a silly wee one (for a silly wee man) so sits on the bunker next to my wee omelette machine, again at least once a week, next to the beer tap which has barely been used since lockdown. The very definition of a impulsive lockdown purchase wich has barely been used since the novelty wore off

I've got this one for the flat. Does the job well and doesn't have any of the bendy bits that might snap. You couldn't do a full house in one go but you could do a floor at a time or a room at a time (can get a charging station that charges a replacement battery so you can just switch it out and go again).

A couple of rolls of sellotape would be better than a shark.
