This only applies if the retailer is selling you a newer version of a similar product though (in this case, a new vacuum cleaner.)

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.One of our biggest complaints is that it’s not as easy to maintain as other handheld options.. For example, the dual foam filters need to be pulled out by hand, rather than removing them using a plastic frame.

This means you need to touch the dirty filters, while also disturbing dust into the air, before you can clean them.. You also can’t remove the brush bar from the pet tool, which makes removing hair more difficult.

Additionally, there’s no option to remove and replace the battery..In short, wearing shoes on carpets is one of the worst things you can do if you want to keep them clean..

You should also have a door mat both indoors and outdoors at your front door.This minimises the amount of dirt that enters the home.. 4.
