In this review we test and analyze the Shark Canister Pet vacuum cleaner - model CZ351. Tests include carpet, hard floor, hair, edges, large debris, noise, etc. See it at Shark: sharkclean.sjv.io/9WBOJ3
Also, see the written review at: vacuum-cleaner-advisor.com/Sh...
We show what’s in the box and walk you through the tool clip and the two tools (crevice tool and upholstery tool). We highlight that there is no tool for dusting.
We show the top and bottom of the cleaner head and highlight that there is a row of LED lights along the front of the cleaner head that illuminate when you are vacuuming (acting as headlights) and that there is a “brushroll spinning” warning light. The underside of the cleaner head shows the self-cleaning brushroll and we discuss why this one is interesting.
Controls on the handle are shown and we highlight that there are two floor settings (carpet and hard floor) and there are three suction power settings. There are also two large buttons on the back of the canister itself. One is a power button and one is a power cord rewind button. They can be pushed by hand or with your foot. The rewind button must be held down to work. The power cord on the CZ351 is 25 feet long which is a decent length for a canister vacuum.
The underside of the canister has four 360 degree rotating castor wheels which create good mobility for the canister but we were a little disappointed that the canister has no bumper around the perimeter.
We weighed the vacuum ourselves at 17.1 lbs and this is not what we would call lightweight. However, with a canister vacuum you are pulling a large part of the vacuum so the weight isn’t quite as noticeable as it would be with an upright (unless of course you are carrying the vacuum).
The Shark Canister Pet has MultFLEX technology which is essentially a hinge in the middle of the wand. It allows the wand to bend at 90+ degrees and it is useful in allowing one to get under low furniture without bending your back or knees as much as you would have to without the technology. We don’t use the feature much and feel that it just adds weight to the wand, but we’ve spoken with people who really do like it.
The unit has 2 pre-motor filters and 1 post motor filter (HEPA grade). All filters are rinsable in water and reusable. They are also easy to access. We show how to do all this.
We walk through the steps to empty the dust canister which are pretty straightforward and we highlight that the dust canister is of sufficient size so that you will not find yourself having to stop and empty it too frequently.
The vacuum hose is not reinforced and we show how it can sometimes kink. Canister movement on carpet is average but movement is better on hard floors. This is the same for the cleaner head.
We used a digital noise level meter to capture the noise level of the vacuum for all three power settings. It is, in our opinion, a very quiet vacuum. We show how the noise levels compare to those of other vacuums in a table with Shark and Dyson uprights.
We perform a host of cleaning test (all in MAX power mode). We test the vacuum on small-to-medium size debris and low pile carpet and hard flooring. Pickup is excellent - some of the best we’ve seen.
We also tested the brushroll on a combination of human hair and pet hair. Tangling still occurred but it was limited when we compare it to the kind of tangling this test has shown with brushrolls that are not self-cleaning. So this feature works - but not perfectly. You may still get some tangling.
The vacuum did not perform particularly well in our large debris test. The cleaner head had a hard time getting overtop of the fruit loops. Also, edge cleaning was average. It did not clean right up to the edge of the wall.
We also note that there are two models of the Shark Canister. The one we are reviewing here, the Shark Canister Pet (Note that in the UK this is sometimes referred to as the Shark Cylinder Pet), and another unit called the Shark Vertex Canister. We highlight the differences between the two vacuums.
