Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to the Dyson V8 Plus, the Shark UltraCyclone is lighter and more affordable, with a better self-cleaning brush roll for pet hair. It outperforms the BLACK+DECKER dustbuster AdvancedClean in suction power and runtime, though it costs more. For car-specific use, it rivals the Adam's Polishes Cyclonic Vacuum Cleaner but is easier to store.

How to use it

1. Charge the vacuum fully using the included wall mount base before first use.
2. Attach the motorized pet tool for upholstered seats and carpets.
3. Use the crevice tool for gaps between seats and center console.
4. Empty the dust cup after each use by pressing the release button.
5. Rinse the filter monthly and let it dry completely before reinstalling.
6. Store on the wall mount to keep the battery charged and ready.
