We tested the Shark ION F80 (IF281C) with a gold wand, and there are similar variants with different included parts, which are listed below. It seems that the model number changes depending on the retailer, but we don’t know this for sure. We expect our results to be valid for the different variants.
Model Number | Wand Color | Included Brushes and Tools | Notes |
IF281 | Gold | Upholstery tool, crevice tool | |
IF281C | Gold | Upholstery tool, crevice tool | Sold in Canada only |
IF282 | Gold | Upholstery tool, crevice tool, dusting tool | |
IF285 | Blue | Upholstery tool, crevice tool, dusting tool | |
UF280 | Blue | Upholstery tool, soft bristle brush, crevice tool |
Note that the IF281, IF281C, and IF282 are called the Shark ION F80, while the IF285 and UF280 are named the IONFlex 2X DuoClean. If someone comes across an ION F80 that’s different from ours, let us know in the discussions and we’ll update our review.
