What to look for in a Shark model

For pet homes, favour models with an anti-tangle brush and a self-empty dock; fur fills a small bin fast.

If mopping is the draw, check that the dock washes and dries the mop — otherwise pads need daily attention.

Value praise usually points at entry models; compare runtime and dock type before assuming the cheapest is enough.

Our dock types and cost of ownership explainers show how those choices play out across the whole tracked lineup.
