Description
Powerful Whole-Home Cleaning. Flexible Lift-Away Convenience. Dedicated Pet Hair Cleaning.
Make everyday cleaning easier in homes with pets with the Shark Classic Upright Pet Vacuum Cleaner NV603UKT in Grey & Plum. Combining powerful upright floor cleaning with Lift-Away versatility and a dedicated Pet Power Brush, this corded vacuum is designed to tackle carpets, hard floors, stairs, upholstery and pet hair throughout the home.
Dual floor modes let you optimise cleaning for carpets or hard flooring at the touch of a button, making it easy to move between different surfaces without changing machines. Enhanced swivel steering helps the floorhead manoeuvre around furniture, while signature LED headlights illuminate dust and debris that can be difficult to see in darker areas.
When you need to clean beyond the floor, Shark's Lift-Away technology lets you detach the main pod from the floorhead and carry it separately. This gives you greater freedom for stairs, soft furnishings, curtains, high surfaces and other awkward spaces that are difficult to reach with a conventional full-size upright vacuum.
The NV603UKT is especially well suited to pet-friendly households thanks to the included Pet Power Brush. This specialised attachment helps lift pet hair from suitable upholstery, stairs and other surfaces where fur tends to accumulate.
Shark's Anti-Allergen Complete Seal works alongside HEPA filtration to capture and trap 99.9% of dust and allergens inside the vacuum rather than allowing them to escape back into the surrounding air. This provides additional reassurance for households where controlling captured dust and allergens is an important part of regular cleaning.
With a useful 1.2-litre dust capacity, 5.6kg product weight and a comprehensive accessory set including a Crevice Tool, Stair Tool, Pet Power Brush and Accessory Bag, the Shark NV603UKT offers a practical combination of powerful floor care and flexible above-floor cleaning.

Lift-Away Technology
Shark's Lift-Away technology transforms the NV603UKT from a traditional upright vacuum into a more portable cleaning system.
Simply detach the main pod from the floorhead, then use the wand and suitable accessory to reach areas where a full-size upright would be difficult to manoeuvre.
- Clean stairs more comfortably
- Reach curtains and blinds
- Vacuum suitable upholstery
- Clean high surfaces
- Reach around ceilings and light fittings
- Access awkward areas more easily
Portable Cleaning for Stairs & High Areas
Instead of trying to carry the complete upright vacuum up a staircase, Lift-Away lets you leave the main floorhead behind and take the detachable pod with you.
The wand also provides useful extended reach for areas such as curtain tops, corners and other above-floor surfaces.
Designed for Homes with Pets
The NV603UKT is the pet-focused version of Shark's Classic Upright platform and includes a dedicated Pet Power Brush for tackling fur on suitable surfaces.
This makes it especially useful in homes where pet hair regularly gathers on stairs, sofas, chairs and other soft furnishings.
Pet Power Brush Included
The supplied Pet Power Brush provides a more specialised approach to pet-hair cleaning than a standard crevice attachment alone.
Use it on suitable surfaces to help lift stubborn pet hair and fur from areas where it can become embedded.
- Ideal for suitable upholstery
- Useful on stairs
- Helps tackle embedded pet hair
- Designed for pet-friendly households
Dual Floor Modes
Move between carpeted rooms and hard flooring with dedicated floor settings.
The NV603UKT allows you to change between carpet and hard floor modes at the touch of a button so you can adapt the vacuum to the surface you are cleaning.
Carpet Cleaning Mode
Select the carpet setting when cleaning compatible carpets and rugs.
The upright floorhead and powerful suction work together to lift household dirt, dust and debris from carpeted surfaces.
Hard Floor Cleaning Mode
Switch to the hard floor setting when moving onto compatible sealed hard surfaces.
This provides more appropriate cleaning behaviour for hard flooring rather than using the same mode across every surface.
Anti-Allergen Complete Seal
Shark's Anti-Allergen Complete Seal is designed to keep collected particles contained inside the vacuum.
According to the supplied information, the system captures and traps 99.9% of dust and allergens inside the vacuum rather than releasing them back into the air you breathe.
This can provide additional reassurance in pet-owning households where fur, dander and general household dust can be recurring cleaning concerns.
HEPA Filtration
The NV603UKT is equipped with HEPA filtration as part of its dust-management system.
Working alongside the Anti-Allergen Complete Seal, this helps contain fine particles collected during vacuuming.
Enhanced Swivel Steering
Move around sofas, tables, chairs and other household furniture more easily with enhanced swivel steering.
The floorhead responds as you turn the handle, helping the vacuum change direction smoothly through busy rooms.
LED Headlights
Built-in LED headlights help illuminate hidden dust and debris in front of the floorhead.
This is particularly useful under furniture, along darker edges and in areas where dirt can be difficult to see under normal room lighting.
Corded Cleaning Performance
The NV603UKT is a corded upright vacuum, providing continuous mains-powered cleaning without needing to recharge a battery between cleaning sessions.
The supplied specification data includes an 8m measurement labelled as hose length. As this figure is unusually long for a domestic vacuum hose and no separate cable-length figure is provided in the current specification, this listing does not describe the cleaner as having an 8m hose.
1.2 Litre Dust Capacity
The reusable dust container provides a stated capacity of 1.2 litres, giving you useful space for everyday household dust, debris and pet hair before emptying is required.
Crevice Tool Included
The supplied Crevice Tool is ideal for reaching into narrow spaces that the main floorhead cannot access.
- Along skirting boards
- Into corners
- Between sofa cushions
- Along furniture edges
- Inside narrow gaps
Stair Tool Included
The supplied Stair Tool helps make vacuuming stairs and suitable soft furnishings more convenient, particularly when used with the detachable Lift-Away pod.
Accessory Bag Included
A dedicated Accessory Bag is supplied to help keep the vacuum's cleaning tools organised when they are not in use.
Versatile Above-Floor Cleaning
Lift-Away mode and the supplied attachments allow the NV603UKT to tackle much more than open floors.
- Stairs
- Suitable upholstery
- Pet hair on soft furnishings
- Curtains
- High surfaces
- Edges and corners
- Crevices and narrow spaces

Does the Shark NV603UKT really have an 8m hose?
The supplied data lists an 8m hose length, but this is unusually long for a domestic upright vacuum hose. Because the source does not clarify whether the figure has been mislabelled, this listing does not advertise an 8m hose as a confirmed feature.
How large is the dust container?
The dust capacity is stated as 1.2 litres.

What is the shipping weight?
The supplied shipping weight is 8.13kg.
