our guide to stair vacuums too.
The Shark has a quick and simple emptying system, which is important for a vacuum that’s designed for convenience..Instead of needing to detach a canister, the CH950UKT uses a one-touch emptying system.
There’s a button on the side for opening the dust compartment door.It releases the dirt as soon as you push it, so make sure you do this over a bin (ideally an outdoor bin)..While we like how easy the Shark CH950UKT is to empty, there are several issues with this system..
The main downside is that there’s no internal collar for pushing out clumps of debris that might become stuck inside.If this happens – which it regularly did during our testing – you’ll need to pull the clumps out by hand.. We also found that the flip-down action of the bin system caused a cloud of dust to be released.
Most of the debris and dust still ended up in the bin, but it’s certainly not the best choice for people with allergies..
There’s no doubt that the Shark CH950UKT is amongst the best handhelds on the market, but it’s not perfect.The common advice is to vacuum carpets at least once per week.
We think is the absolute minimum – and ideally you should vacuum carpets.for best results..
Dirt, grime, and hair that settles on carpets is pushed deeper into the fibres whenever someone walks on it.The longer you wait between vacuum sessions, the harder it is for your vacuum cleaner to remove the debris..
