What we found particularly exciting about Shark's latest vacuum cleaner range were its claims to have found a solution to banish that musty vacuum smell for good. In our experience, even the best vacuum cleaners often develop an unusual dusty smell. 

Shark's new Stratos vacuum cleaner range has finally found a solution to stop that fusty smell with its new Anti-Odour Technology. The new Anti-Odour technology promises to transform bad odours into fresh-smelling air. It does this through a cartridge system in the dust cup that targets the main culprits of that smell - hair and dust.

It might sound a little like cleaning witchcraft however, Molly Cleary, our Ecommerce Editor put the claims to the test while reviewing the Shark Stratos Cordless Vacuum for our round-up of the best Shark vacuums, and she was impressed.

'There's a space in the head of the vacuum for you to place the cartridge in, and then you can dial up the intensity to the level you'd like,' Molly explains.

'Using the cartridge really does create a noticeable fragrant difference, with a fresh smell emanating from the vacuum even as you begin to clean in different rooms. Plus, there's no trace of that horrible smell that you usually get as you empty the dust bin with it either. As someone who has reviewed plenty of vacuums, this cartridge was a very welcome innovation and would be a perfect feature for anyone sensitive to smells.'

The Anti-Odour technology features in all five vacuum cleaners in the new Stratos range launched last month. They all also feature Sharks Anti Hair Wrap Plus, ideal for pet owners (or anyone with long hair) and Anti-Allergen Complete Seal, which promises to trap 99.9 per cent of dust and allergens inside the vacuum.

The range includes upright and cordless vacuum cleaners, however, the rose gold Shark Stratos cordless vacuum cleaner is currently the only one we've spotted in the Black Friday deals. However, you can still pick up the rest of the range on the Shark Website.

Here's hoping the anti-odour technology soon becomes a regular feature in more vacuum cleaners.
