For busy households battling dust, pet hair, and daily messes, the Shark IZ201 and IZ251 Cordless Vacuums deliver a revolutionary clean. Engineered with Anti-Hair Wrap technology and DuoClean® dual-brushrolls, these models tackle everything from embedded carpet debris to hardwood-floor crumbs without the dreaded hair-clog nightmare. Lightweight, versatile, and powerful, they transform cleaning from a chore into a swift, efficient ritual.
Why the Shark IZ201 & IZ251 Stand Out
- Zero Hair Tangles, Zero Hassle
The Anti-Hair Wrap system uses self-cleaning brushrolls and flexible finned guards to prevent hair from winding around rollers. In tests, it handled pet hair and long strands effortlessly—no scissors required12. - Power That Adapts to Your Floors
DuoClean® technology combines a soft roller for fine dust on hard floors and a stiff bristle brush for deep carpet cleaning. Switch between modes:- Hard Floor/Low-Pile Rug Mode: Gentle yet thorough.
- Carpet Mode: Aggressive debris lift.
Need a boost? Squeeze the trigger for instant max suction (up to 200AW).
- Unmatched Maneuverability
Weighing just 0.95kg (2.1 lbs), these vacuums glide under furniture and above stairs. The Flexology® wand bends to clean baseboards or low-clearance zones, while a 40mm slim nozzle reaches deep under beds and sofas. - User-Centric Design
- One-Touch Emptying: Hygienic dustbin release minimizes contact with debris.
- Twin Cyclonic Filtration: Maintains consistent suction by separating dust from airflow, preventing clogs.
- Storage Mode: Folds compactly for closet or corner storage.
- Battery & Noise Efficiency
A full 3-hour charge delivers up to 45 minutes of runtime (varies by mode). At just 50dB, it’s quieter than most cordless rivals—ideal for nights or naptime cleaning.
