We were also surprised at the messy emptying system, as it requires you to remove the filter just to empty the cup..

Cordless handheld vacuum.Lightweight at 0.66kg.

0.15 litre dust capacity.

Compact and sleek design.There’s no doubt that the Shark IZ251UKT is an attractive vacuum.

We like the burgundy colour scheme, which looks great combined with the dark grey joints.It also feels well-built and durable, which is important for a premium vacuum..

The IZ251UKT’s body feels bulkier than many cordless vacuums.It’s also a bit heavier (at around 4.1kg), which can make long cleaning sessions more tiring compared with ultra-lightweight models.
