Shark Vaccum
The product is really good, have been using it for quiet some time. Feature like power detect and auto empty are great. The actual battery time recommended of 75mins by the Company of 75mins is not correct. The battery does not last that long.

Love the shark
We have found the Shark to be much more reliable than our previous brand. The auto adjustable speed based.on surface, auto empty function, solit handle for under sofas etc are all great features.

Excellent
Great product, Little expensive but better than other famous brand such as Dyson. Does the job, Bending of the vacuum is a significant feature in this vacuum. Teenagers love this and always want to vacuum the house. A wise decision i made.

This machine is great!
I’ve tried a few stick vacuums before this one, but I have found this has the best suction by far. I love that it automatically adapts to different floor types, making it really easy to use throughout the house. It’s perfect for quick everyday cleans, especially for picking up all the dog hair, but it’s also more than capable of doing a more thorough clean when needed. The auto-empty feature is fantastic and makes cleaning up so much easier. I also really like the odour-eliminating puck, which helps keep the vacuum smelling fresh. Overall, I’m really impressed with it and would definitely recommend it, especially if you have pets! 🐶🧹

The bees knees in vacuums but is quite heavy
This vacuum is amazing and has great features including the clean and empty function and battery power. I was surprised though how heavy the unit is which might be difficult for some older generations. Overall very happy I invested in a decent vacuum that identifies different floor surfaces and adjusts automatically.

At a glance
This cordless stick vacuum is a practical choice for homes with both carpet and hard floors, especially where pet hair and everyday dust are common. Its main strengths are the up to 70-minute runtime, automatic clean-and-empty station and manoeuvrable 3.6 kg design. A fair limitation is that it is built for dry vacuuming only, so it does not handle wet messes.
What it’s great for
- Everyday whole-home cleaning
- Mixed floor cleaning
- Pet hair pickup
- Low-contact dust disposal
- Quick routine cleaning
Where it works best
- Homes with mixed flooring
- Family homes
- Pet-owning households
- Apartments
- Busy living areas
Who it’s for
- Pet owners
- Families
- Everyday home cleaners
- Allergy-conscious households
- Renters and apartment dwellers
Things to consider
It is a strong all-rounder for dry floor cleaning, but buyers wanting wet cleaning or advanced smart app features may prefer a more specialised premium model.
Pet hair performance score
8/10 - Pet-friendly design and included pet hair tool make it well suited to routine fur pickup in homes with shedding pets.
Carpet vs hard floor suitability
Well suited to both carpet and hard floors, making it a strong match for mixed-floor homes.
Portability rating
8/10 - At 3.6 kg, it is relatively easy to carry and manoeuvre for everyday whole-home cleaning.
Noise level vs category average
Average - no specific low-noise claim is provided, so it is best considered typical for a cordless stick vacuum.
Allergy friendliness
8/10 - HEPA filtration, washable filters and the clean-and-empty station help reduce dust exposure during cleaning and maintenance.
Key benefits
- Up to 70-minute runtime: Gives you longer cleaning sessions on a single charge for more complete whole-home cleaning.
- Clean and Empty Station: Automatically empties the vacuum to reduce direct contact with dust during routine maintenance.
- DuoClean Detect nozzle: Captures debris on forward and reverse passes to improve pickup across busy areas and along edges.
- Hard and soft floor compatibility: Moves between carpet and hard floors without needing a separate main cleaner.
- Pet-friendly design: Better suited to homes where pet hair is part of everyday cleaning.
- Bagless system: Avoids ongoing bag purchases and keeps maintenance straightforward.
- HEPA and washable filters: Helps trap fine dust while allowing reusable filter maintenance.
- 3.6 kg body: Easier to manoeuvre for regular floor cleaning and quick touch-ups around the home.
Q: Is this Shark cordless vacuum suitable for thick or high-pile carpet?
A: It works best on hard floors and standard carpet. For very thick or high-pile carpet, a model designed for deep pile may be a better fit, because Shark IP3251ANZ can feel less ideal where the floorhead meets heavy resistance.
Q: Can this cordless stick vacuum replace a corded vacuum for whole-home cleans?
A: For many homes, yes. Shark IP3251ANZ is designed for hard and soft floors and runs for up to 70 minutes on a single charge, which suits regular whole-home cleaning. Very large homes or longer heavy-duty sessions may still suit a corded vacuum better.
Q: How much space does the Clean and Empty Station need?
A: The Clean and Empty Station needs a dedicated floor spot and this model is not wall mountable. It keeps charging and dust disposal in one place, but it takes more room than a slim wall dock, so plan where the base will sit before buying.
Q: Can it handle pet hair on furniture, stairs and tight spots?
A: Yes. Shark IP3251ANZ includes a pet tool for upholstery and a crevice tool for edges, stairs and tighter areas. Its cordless design and 3.6kg body make it easier to move around the home, but it is for dry vacuuming only, not wet pet messes.
Q: Will I still need to empty dust by hand regularly?
A: Usually less often. Shark IP3251ANZ uses a Clean and Empty Station that automatically empties the vacuum after cleaning, so direct bin handling is reduced. It is still a bagless vacuum, so regular bin and filter maintenance remains part of ownership.
Q: Does the Shark IP3251ANZ need wall mounting for storage or charging?
A: No. Shark IP3251ANZ is not wall mountable, so charging and storage are built around the floor-standing Clean and Empty Station. That suits buyers who want automatic emptying in one spot, but it also means the base needs a permanent place.
