When comparing their stick vacuums to Dyson’s offerings, Shark vacuums feel better built and sturdier. However, they also tend to have a similar but slightly worse performance on carpet. Their upright vacuums usually perform better on all surface types than BISSELL vacuums. Priced at less than $100, this shark pet vacuum powerful stick vacuum cleaner is designed to meet all your various cleaning needs, from carpet & hard floor to rugs, cars, sofa, desks, cabinets, windows, curtains & more. It comes with all the accessories and attachments you need to get the job done, and it features an intuitive space-saving design.
The Felix shares its biggest flaws with most other upright machines. Compared to a canister vacuum, it can feel heavy on your hands and wrists, and it lacks an automatic cord rewind. She obsesses over how to remove cat and rabbit fur from her couch and hairballs from her heirloom rugs.
Shark manufactures homeware goods like irons and mops in addition to vacuums. Their vacuums come at various prices, so you can find something that fits your budget. With a versatile design, this Shark vacuum cleaner transitions effortlessly from carpeting and rugs to hardwood floors and tile. A two-speed brush roll makes quick work of messy floors while letting you choose the perfect setting to meet your cleaning needs. A wide path offers expanded coverage, so you can vacuum large rooms with fewer passes. This Shark vacuum cleaner comes equipped with a suction control button to adjust the power as needed.

However, unlike the pricier Shark Vertex Pro Lightweight, it doesn’t have a flexible wand, making cleaning under tables and chairs much easier.
But perhaps the biggest design flaw of the AdvancedClean+ HHVK515JP07 is the looseness of its filters. Although that doesn’t impact the vacuum’s performance, it can be a pain when you’re emptying the dustbin—as you tap the bin against a trash can to empty it, the filters can slip out and fall into the trash. This model will run for 24 minutes on low suction mode, which is sufficient for most furry situations, and a battery indicator shows you the charge level. Its airflow is above average on regular mode and excellent on high mode.
The accessory caddy attaches to the charging dock, keeping the combination duster/crevice tool and multi-surface pet tool right where you need them. It performed very well in our cleaning tests and was especially good at picking up large debris and pet hair with its multi-surface pet tool, though fluff did get caught on the brush and had to be removed by hand. We like its washable filter and that it recharged faster than other slimline handheld vacuums we tested.
Anything oversize or slightly sticky runs the risk of gumming up the works. The CHV1410L is a perennial best seller with strong reviews from owners. For occasional tidy-ups, the Black+Decker Dustbuster AdvancedClean CHV1410L, is a simpler and cheaper alternative to our main picks.
It also felt excessively noisy, and complaints about breakage and Hoover’s customer service are rampant. At around $750, the Felix is more expensive than most of the vacuums we tried, but it performed better and should last much longer. The height-adjustable handle hugs your hand, making it more comfortable to hold than those of the other uprights we tested. Its cord wrap is located high enough so you don’t have to bend down to bundle up the cord.
