The Shark Upright Vacuum Cleaner with Lift-Away and Anti Hair Wrap (NZ691UK) is designed for homeowners seeking versatile, powerful cleaning across various surfaces. Its key advantage lies in its innovative Anti Hair Wrap technology, which actively prevents hair tangles on the brush-roll, alongside the Lift-Away feature for effortless portable cleaning. While highly effective for general home cleaning and dealing with hair, its upright design might be less suited for extremely tight spaces compared to a compact handheld vacuum.

Lift-Away Feature: Transforms from an upright vacuum into a portable canister, allowing you to easily clean stairs, upholstery, curtains, and high-up areas with the press of a button.
Powerful Upright Suction: Provides strong suction across both carpets and hard floors for thorough everyday cleaning.
Versatile Cleaning Tools: Includes handy tools to help you tackle tricky areas and crevices throughout your home. > Info needed: [list specific included tools]

This Shark upright vacuum excels in diverse home cleaning scenarios. The Anti Hair Wrap technology truly shines in homes with pets or long-haired occupants, ensuring uninterrupted cleaning power without the need to constantly untangle the brush-roll. You'll notice significantly fewer clogs and maintained suction.
The Lift-Away feature is a game-changer for comprehensive home cleaning. Easily detach the main canister to carry powerful suction to:
Stairs: Clean each step thoroughly without lugging the entire upright unit.
Upholstery: Refresh sofas, armchairs, and car interiors with specialized attachments.
Curtains and Blinds: Gently remove dust from delicate fabrics.
High-Up Areas: Reach ceiling corners, light fixtures, and shelves using the wand.
Its robust suction makes light work of embedded dirt in carpets and efficiently gathers debris from hard floors, making it a reliable workhorse for routine cleaning tasks.
Setup:
Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
Assemble Base: Attach the main body of the vacuum to the floor nozzle.
Connect Wand/Handle: Securely click the wand and handle into place until you hear a click.
Attach Hose: Connect the flexible hose to the back of the vacuum.
Store Accessories: Place the included tools on the onboard storage posts.
Power On: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.
Compatibility:
Floor Types: Suitable for all floor types, including low-pile and high-pile carpets, rugs, and sealed hard floors (wood, laminate, tile).
Accessories: Compatible with Shark's range of Lift-Away and upright vacuum attachments. Ensure you use genuine Shark accessories for optimal performance.
Care:
Empty Dust Cup Regularly: Empty the dust cup after each use or when debris reaches the 'Max Fill' line to maintain suction.
Clean Filters: Rinse the foam and felt filters under cold water monthly (or as needed) and allow them to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting. The post-motor filter should be tapped clean annually or as needed.
Check Brush-Roll: While Anti Hair Wrap reduces tangles, occasionally check the brush-roll for any larger debris or blockages that might have accumulated.
Wipe Down Exterior: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the exterior of the vacuum, avoiding harsh chemicals.
