Moreover, it comes with DuoClean Technology, an extra-long cleaning wand that reaches all those hard-to-reach areas, and a powerful anti-allergen system that assures high air shark pet hair vacuum quality. Another important feature to look for in a Shark vacuum is a large dustbin. It’s designed to handle pet hair, and the yellow-finned brush roll sucked it up easily.
And despite the fact that it is a corded model (a bit larger and heavier), it still was easy to handle and maneuver. If we have to pick a drawback, it would just be that some hair got stuck in the canister, making it challenging to clean. But that’s part of the cleaning process and for a vacuum this effective, we aren’t deterred. For couches, cars, or just a quickie touch-up, this handheld vacuum easily earned our vote.
We were impressed with the battery runtime on this cordless vac—it powered off on its own at the 25-minute mark, even though the battery is only slated for a 15-minute lifespan. This robotic vacuum even fits under couches, which is something you can’t say about many vacuums. This model will bump into things that get in the way, but we noticed that it does so gently; still, you’ll want to keep those cords out of its way so things don’t get tangled. When it comes to filters, it’s always best to check the individual instructions of the vacuum for information.
To check the efficacy of the vacuums’ filters, we needed a test chamber that registered only what was in the air after it had been filtered by the vacuum. This canister vacuum isn’t cheap, and you’ll also pay for new filters shark dustbuster and bags pretty regularly. But a Miele canister can last so long that it works out to be an excellent long-term value. Weighing in at just under 11 pounds, the Rocket is one of the lightest vacuums Shark makes.
The handy LED headlights shine a light to avoid missed areas, and the swivel steering makes light work of getting around furniture. This Shark Navigator Lift-Away Vacuum conveniently lifts off the floor for convenient portable cleaning. With Anti-Allergen Complete Seal Technology and a HEPA filter, it helps trap dust, dander, and other allergens inside your home. Additionally, with its advanced swivel steering, you can easily maneuver around furniture and pick up pet hair from carpets, hard floors, and upholstery with its XL Motorized Pet Power Brush. We also tried out the Big Ball MultiFloor bagless canister vacuum, but it fell short during testing in similar ways to the Ball Animal 2.
