 and also sniffing the little anti-odour pot that ensures everything you hoover smells like you've had a very posh cleaning service round to tackle your carpets. This is totally new technology for me and, while initially I thought it was a bit of a gimmick, over the weeks I've put the Shark through its paces I've come to really like that well-cleaned scent that my freshly vacuumed rooms now have.
