If you own furry pets, for example, you’ll need a vacuum that specializes in lifting pet hair from carpets. And a lightweight vacuum won’t do the trick for your car or tougher surfaces like garages; in this case, look for utility and car-specific vacuums. This cordless vacuum cleaner stands out from the crowd with LED lights, which illuminate all the dust, debris, and hair in your way .
The Rocket Pet Pro is a stick vacuum, which allows for easy cleaning under furniture. The Shark Rocket Pet Pro also detaches into a small, handheld vacuum, making it easy for dog owners to clean up their car after a joy ride with their four-legged family member. As its name suggests, the Rocket Pet Pro has a few features that make it a smart pick for pet owners. The main feature, a self-cleaning brushroll, stops hair from getting tangled up in the vacuum’s brush. Anyone who’s had a vacuum malfunction due to hair getting tangled in their brush can appreciate the power of this feature. Even long hair didn’t stop this vacuum from functioning efficiently.
You’ll also get useful lights on the handheld section of the machine, to tell you how long you’ve got left. If you’re worried about the battery life, unless you have a huge home which you want to clean in one go, you should be fine. Never did I run out of battery, albeit in a small three-bed flat. The first thing that struck me about this vacuum cleaner is the sleek design, with its grey pearlised body and metallic accents. Of course, you wouldn’t spend this much on a vacuum for looks alone – but, luckily, this model has impressive performance credentials too. At just 2.74kg, it’s extremely lightweight without compromising on suction power .
There’s no height adjustment for this vacuum’s floorhead, only dedicated surface modes for bare floors and high-pile carpet that change how fast the brushroll spins. You have to be careful when cleaning shag-pile carpets and rug tassels, which shark cordless can get caught in its floorhead. If you’re looking for something a little easier to maneuver, the Shark Rocket Pet Pro With MultiFlex IZ166H is a great option and also happens to be one of the best Shark vacuums for pet hair we’ve tested.
With a 40-minute fade-free runtime that makes quick work of wood floors, tile floors, low-pile rugs and carpets, you can tackle multiple rooms before it is time to recharge. Great for everyday use, the RapidClean’s swiveling head gets in and around tricky corners while bright LED headlights help you spot hidden dust and debris. It can also lie completely flat, which makes reaching under beds and furniture easier. This battery-powered stick vacuum is a great option for people with multiple pets — and severe allergies. It features a 40-minute run time, removable hand vacuum, self-cleaning brush roll and HEPA filtration.
Without the brush bar the roller would become full of dirty, and without the roller the brush bar would get tangled. I was able to stay upright while the vacuum did all of the bending, saving my back in the process. The combination of traditional brush bar and roller worked well, but after a bit of use you do need to clean it, especially the roller. In this review we’ll go through the various model variants available from Shark. Unfortunately Shark’s offering isn’t straightforward, they have a few different models available, and they all have very unflattering names. Our aim here is to cut through the noise, give you the key facts about each variant of vacuum, and then our recommendation for the best model to go for.
You can get the same results by going over high-traffic areas more slowly and thoroughly with a cordless model and by vacuuming more regularly. Since there’s no power cord or outlets, vacuuming becomes a simpler task. This makes it so you vacuum more often, which makes up for slightly less power. Shark vacuums tend to have a plasticky build and certain parts, like their dirt compartments, seem especially prone to cracking if dropped. While they may not have specialized tools like a pet grooming brush or a ceiling fan tool, they come with a solid selection of tools and brushes to help get the job done. The replaceable, rechargeable battery works for up to 50 minutes, when not in power boost mode.
This versatile vacuum is everything you need in one compact design. Plus, a removable handheld vacuum and an assortment of tools, make this vacuum ideal for quick pick-ups and access into hard-to-reach areas like corners and crevices. For those with allergies, the vacuum is particularly perfect. Not only does the suction and brush roll help ensure hair is dealt with, but there’s also a HEPA filtration system and anti-allergen seal. The filter helps trap allergens like dust and dander while the seal ensures it doesn’t escape the dust cup .
It’s not just for floors either, coming as it does with an array of accessories for soft furnishings, clothes windows, toilets and more. The actual mop is double sided, making it more absorbent and long-lasting, too. Forget the old clunky machines, as corded vacuums have had a revamp. Most now also feature as mop, are easy to store and have a cord longer than the length of most London houses.
