Hi Doron,
If you want a corded Shark, I would recommend getting the full size corded upright rather than any of the stick vacs. The stick vacs have smaller dirt containers and are not as sturdy as Shark’s full size uprights. Also the motor is right up at the top of the stick closer to your ears and could be annoying. America’s Consumer Reports has tested a lot of the “Navigator” and “Powered Lift-Away” models and all of them scored pretty high in the ratings for bagless uprights (I much prefer old-fashioned bagged vacuum cleaners because they are easier to maintain.) You are probably safer ordering your Shark from an Israeli seller right now because there are so few flights coming into Ben Gurion these days. Take a look at the link below...it’s for a new model of the highly-rated Powered Lift Away. You will probably be very happy with this vacuum: CLICK HERE TO GO TO eurekaprince's LINK |

Your English is excellent.
I am not sure if anyone here knows the differences between US and UK Shark models. Give it some more time, hopefully someone else will chime in. For what it's worth, I'm happy with most full size Shark uprights that I have seen. I didn't really like the Rotator, but I don't think they make those anymore. I looked up the UK models, and apparently the AZ910 and AZ950 are the same except the 950 has a bigger dirt cup / bin. I am surprised they do not have a UK or EU version of the AZ2002. |

Hi Doron,
Okay - I understand. Just another idea - why limit yourself to the UK? Sharks are also sold in France and Germany and Holland. The UK models will have that very large UK plug for which you would have to use a bulky plug adapter for Israeli electrical outlets. I think the plugs on vacuums sold in the rest of Europe fit right into Israeli outlets. Maybe ask a friend who knows French or Dutch or German to help you translate Shark's other European web pages? You might even find the exact model you want in these other countries. From my limited knowledge of the other languages, here are the words for vacuum cleaner you would need: aspirateur (French), staubsauger (German), stofzuiger (Dutch), aspiradora (Spanish). You should check out the vacuum videos done by Ibaisaic (Roger in the UK). He has done several demonstrations of Sharks sold in the UK. B'hatslacha! Good Luck! :-D |

Are you sure you want a Shark?
Shark are really really low quality and they don't clean well. Also bagless will make your air dirtier than it already is. I would strongly suggest staying away from Shark. Bags have come a long way and are now really good at filtering. With bagless vacuums you will be spending a lot of money on buying new filters but with bags for a Henry for example you can get a box of 10 Henry bags for 10 GBP which is a great value because those bags usually last you a month before you fill them up and once you need to change them it's easy and mess free. Brands that i would recommend: Numatic Henry, Sebo, Miele, Nilfisk. Brands that i would NOT recommend: Shark, Dyson and anything that is bagless. What flooring are you going to clean? If you have all hard floors i recommend you get a Henry 160 of amazon.co.uk they are great for hard floors and are good value If you have hard floors with some carpeting i would also recommend you get a turbo brush with the Henry. If you have wall to wall carpet i would recommend you get a Sebo Felix of amazon.co.uk. They are really good uprights. If you need a cordless vacuum the Henry Cordless is one of the best ones out there. |
