The first head of the vacuum stopped working completely after about a month. Got another sweeper head and it stopped completely while just vacuuming carpet. Dyson sent a new complete V11 outsize and so far, this one has been working with no problems. I have owned three Dyson, my first in 2006, which is still running perfectly. Just not getting caught on things and not stepping on cord is worth it. What should you not do if you want an under $400 cordless vacuum?
The Shark Pet cordless stick vacuum is currently seeing an early Black Friday discount, with its price currently down to just $144. This is a savings of $115 from its regular price of $259, so act quickly to claim this discount before inventory clears shark cordless out. An on/off switch for the rotating brush lets you stop the brush from rotating when using tools or cleaning bare floors. This helps eliminate scattered dirt on bare floors and reduces the risk of injury if the vacuum tips over during use.
I think the extra features of the v15 are worth the $50 difference so recommend the v15 over the v11 if it’s within your price range. The Dyson Outsize Absolute that you can find is an amazing vacuum too if money is truly no object. Based on all of the features I discussed, if I had to choose between a Shark or Dyson and the cost for all of them was exactly the same, I’d go with a Dyson. But that’s not the case – when looking at cost, the Dysons are priced significantly higher than Sharks. While the Dysons may have more features than the Sharks, the Sharks are great vacuums for the price and their multiflex feature is awesome. All four vacuums weigh less than 10 pounds but the Dysons are a bit lighter than the Sharks.
In fact, it cleaned up every material in just a pass or two, regardless of flooring type. We found that the 1.4-quart dust bin empties easily, but given the vacuum’s powerful suction and long-lasting battery, we do wish it had more capacity. The Shark Navigator DLX Upright Professional Vacuum offered powerful suction and performed great on low, medium, and high-pile carpets in The Lab. For that reason, it’s the right choice if you’re looking for a vacuum cleaner that’ll effectively clean your area rugs and carpeted floors. It was given an overall rating of 4 stars for its cleaning effectiveness—meaning, on average, it cleaned up the cereal, popcorn kernels, and strands of hair in just three to five passes. At 3.5 quarts, the dust bin of this upright vacuum is larger than most, too.
In most cases, we buy all these products ourselves, though occasionally we get samples provided to us directly by companies. No matter how we procure products, they all go through the same tests and must meet the same strict criteria to make the best-of cut. We also pride ourselves on transparency and will always let you know if we received a product for free. Not as loud as other vacuums and doesn’t scare my pets easily. Since it stands up right I have been able to hide it in different areas of my apartment no problem. The Shark Cordless Pet Plus is a poor fit for workshop cleaning, though that isn’t what it’s designed for.
Pay attention to the length of the cord to minimize how often you’ll need to stop and switch outlets, though. A tank for Shark cleaning solution, which is included in your purchase, is built into its body. Bought this cause i needed something that would pick up dirt and dog hair from my hard wood floors. The only reason i did not give it 5 stars is that the battery does not last as long as i would like.
And as I side note, both Sharks have lights on the vacuum heads that help illuminate dirt and dust which is a feature I really like that the Dyson v10 and v11 don’t have. The Dyson v15 have a similar feature to the Sharks but it’s a bit more advanced with a laser that illuminates unseen dust and debris. I also like that the Dyson v15 and Dyson v10 Absolute have a fluffy roller head that gives them a leg-up for cleaning on hardwood floors and is gentler on them too. The Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ Handheld Vacuum excelled in all of our lab tests, but it really stood out when it came to sucking up pet hair.
Like other Shark vacuums, this one is designed with powerful suction to handle the toughest messes in your home. This cordless 25.2V Li-ion Shark stick dyson robot vacuum vacuum has a replaceable battery. It converts to hand mode and comes with a crevice tool, pet hair multi-tool and multi-angle dusting brush.
Others are distinctive new riffs on the cordless vacuum, with innovative dust-busting features all their own. Vacuuming isn’t easy, and lugging a traditional corded vacuum between outlets makes it even harder than it has to be. Cordless stick vacuums, on the other hand, are lightweight and maneuverable — without sacrificing the cleaning power of a corded model.
