Amazon shoppers 'blown away' by 'better-than Shark and Vax' vacuum cleaner

Ultenic vacuum cleaners are a popular choice on Amazon due to their affordability and performance. They are ideal for households looking to upgrade their vacuum on a budget, but want performance power that matches the likes of Shark.

Many Amazon customers compare Ultenic's models to Shark because of their suction power. What's more, Ultenic vacuum cleaners are often on sale - such is the case with this U12 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, worth £139.99, it's discounted to £99 in a limited-time offer.

Built for carpets and hard floors, the U12 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner has an anti-tangle roller brush, a spotlight to highlight hidden dust, six cleaning modes and an accessory kit with interchangeable tools such as a crevice tool and combi nozzles.

It can also be mounted on the wall to save on storage space. One downside for busy households to consider is the 45-minute run time, which may pose a problem for shoppers with younger children who vacuum throughout the day.

The 45-minute run time isn't long enough for continuous daily use, as the vacuum would need to be charged most days. Alternatively, Shark's Stratos Cordless Vacuum has a considerably longer two-hour runtime, which may be better suited for daily use.

One Amazon shopper who bought the Ultenic U12 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner said they were 'blown away', adding: "The suction power is incredible, picking up dirt and dust with ease. The cordless design makes it so convenient to use, and the battery life is impressive. I've been using it to clean my home, and it's made a huge difference.

"The vacuum is lightweight and easy to manoeuvre, making quick work of messes. Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with this purchase - it's a game-changer for cleaning!"

Another buyer compared it to Shark and Vax models, writing: "Browsed across this on Amazon, came very quickly, very easy to set up as it comes with a detailed manual book in several languages and pictures, it comes with a wall stand so I can vertically store it.

"The stick is very handy, it extends and shrinks, making it easy to store but easy to clean. It also has a strong suction, lifts the dirt with ease, and it has a long battery life, in my opinion, compared to other cleaning devices I've used from other brands, I.e Vax or Shark.

"I definitely recommend it to others, and I'll be purchasing more for the home. As the price is affordable compared to other similar vacuums."

Shoppers on the market for a Vax can save £100 on the brand's Glide 2.0 Cordless Hardfloor Cleaner model at Very - on sale for £249, from £349. Described as the brand's 'best performing' cleaner for hard floor cleaner for spills, stains and deep cleans, it is especially designed for wooden, laminated and tiled floors.

A fourth Ultenic U12 user concluded: "It's lightweight, powerful, and easy to use. The suction is strong (45,000Pa), and it works great on both hardwood floors and carpets.

"The battery lasts long enough for me to clean the whole house, and I love the LED display and light on the brush head, which helps me see the dust clearly. It also handles pet hair very well. The extra accessories are useful for cleaning furniture and the car."
