The Shark DuoClean Powered Lift-Away Anti Hair Wrap Plus with Anti-Odour Technology Upright Vacuum is a versatile cleaning appliance designed for comprehensive household use. Its primary function is to provide powerful suction for various floor types and above-floor cleaning tasks, while also addressing common issues like hair wrap and unpleasant odours.
This upright vacuum is engineered to tackle dirt, dust, and debris efficiently across different surfaces. The "DuoClean" technology features two brush-rolls working in tandem: a soft front brush-roll to pull in large particles and directly engage floors for a polished look, and a bristle brush-roll to deep-clean carpets. The "Powered Lift-Away" feature allows the user to detach the pod from the floorhead, transforming the upright vacuum into a portable canister vacuum. This enables easy cleaning of stairs, upholstery, and hard-to-reach areas with continuous power to the brush-rolls even in Lift-Away mode. The "Anti Hair Wrap Plus" technology is designed to actively remove hair from the brush-roll as you clean, preventing tangles and maintaining optimal performance. Furthermore, the "Anti-Odour Technology" incorporates a cartridge within the floorhead that neutralizes bad odours, leaving your home smelling fresh.
The vacuum offers multiple cleaning modes to adapt to different scenarios. In its upright configuration, it is ideal for general floor cleaning. Users can select from various surface settings—Thick Carpet/Area Rug, Carpet & Low Pile Cleaning, and Hard Floor Cleaning—using a surface selector switch on the handle. This allows for optimized brush-roll speed and suction power for each floor type. To engage the brush-rolls, the user simply steps on the floorhead and tilts the handle back.
For above-floor cleaning, the "Lift-Away" functionality provides significant flexibility. The pod can be detached from the floorhead, allowing the user to carry the lightweight pod while using the wand and handle with accessories. Alternatively, the handle can be detached from the wand for closer-range cleaning, or the wand can be detached from the pod for extended reach. All accessories are compatible with both the wand and the handle, enhancing the vacuum's adaptability for cleaning curtains, ceilings, tight spaces, and car interiors. The vacuum also features headlights on the floorhead to illuminate hidden dust and debris, ensuring thorough cleaning. An indicator light provides visual feedback on the brush-roll status, turning solid white when functioning correctly, solid red for a jam, or flashing red for overheating.
The Anti-Odour Technology dial allows users to adjust the intensity of the fragrance released, from low to high, or to remove the cartridge entirely if desired. This feature helps to combat common household odours that can accumulate in vacuum cleaners.
Maintaining the Shark DuoClean vacuum is straightforward, designed to ensure consistent performance and longevity. The dust cup is easy to empty; a release button on top of the pod allows it to be removed, and a lower release button opens the bottom of the cup to dispose of debris into a bin. For collected debris on the lint screen, top release buttons on either side of the handle provide access.
Filters require regular cleaning to maintain suction power. The pre-motor filters should be washed monthly with cold water and allowed to air-dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstallation. The post-motor filter, located underneath the unit, should be cleaned annually following a similar process. It's crucial not to use soap when cleaning filters to prevent damage.
The Anti Hair Wrap Plus brush-roll is largely self-cleaning, but if fibres remain wrapped after extended use, they can be manually cleared. The soft roller in the floorhead can also be removed for hand washing and air-drying. The vacuum is designed with accessible points for checking blockages in the hose, wand, pod, and floorhead, allowing users to quickly identify and clear obstructions to restore airflow. The Anti-Odour Technology cartridge needs to be replaced periodically, typically every 6 months, to ensure optimal odour neutralization. The dial itself can be removed to access and replace the cartridge. The power cord can be neatly stored around two cord hooks, with the upper hook rotating for easy cord access.
