One feature of particular interest is the 2.6 litre capacity tank. It can be emptied without you having to make contact with dirt. There's also an anti-allergen complete seal which captures/traps up to 99.9% of dust, pollen and other allergens. The Shark NV681UKT has a high degree of reach, aided by its 8 metre power cable and 1.8 metre flexible suction hose.
