This is another Shark upright vacuum cleaner with the ability to automatically strip hair from the brushroll (the Zero-M Technology). This technology makes the vacuum a great fit for households with lots of pet hair to cope with. Hair gathered on the brushroll is slowly removed and sent to the dust canister as you vacuum. This Shark upright is packed with every feature you could imagine. It has DuoClean PowerFins, a self-cleaning brush roll, a HEPA filter, and rose gold accents.
For all of these reasons, plus the easy three-minute assembly time, this is our top pick. To help reach those areas, you can remove the powered lift-away canister and get extra reach for whatever needs vacuuming. Shark produces a variety of different vacuum types at various price points. They’re smartly designed to reconfigure into a handheld design if you need a closer clean, and cordless options are available.
It’s important to note that its brushroll isn’t removable either, making it a hassle to clear away any tangled pet hair. Running on a 14V shark canister vacuum lithium battery, this Bissell is powerful while remaining lightweight. It easily removes crumbs, dust, and pet hair from around the home.
Plus, its extra-large capacity means you can vacuum the whole home without needing to empty it. And handy little features like fingertip controls and LED lights just sweeten the deal and add to the overall convenience of this vacuum. Most Shark vacuums have parts you can wash or clean, so you may never have to replace them as long as you properly maintain them.
This rose-gold-accented vacuum is packed with features including DuoClean Powerfins, a self-cleaning brush roll, dusting brush, an under-appliance wand, and a pet crevice tool. The 30-foot cord length makes it easy to clean without needing to unplug it when going from room to room. If you’re sticking to a budget, you’ll still get a good clean from the Shark NV360 Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe Upright Vacuum. Corded stick vacuums offer a convenient design without the worry of battery life. This one has a cord that’s 30 feet long, so it won’t limit where you can go.
For a vacuum that delivers on both price and performance, you can’t go wrong with the Shark Navigator Lift-Away. This upright is not designed as a pet-specific vacuum, yet its features put it right up there with some of the best for the hairiest jobs as well as the “normal” messes. Worse, the top-heavy design makes it awkward to handle, despite the advanced steering head.
As we discovered in The Lab, it has the power you need to leave your carpets deeply clean and your hardwood floors sparkling. This model earned a perfect rating for its effectiveness and didn’t cause any debris to scatter in the process. 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.
It also has a 2-in-1 design that, like the Shark Navigator, has a detachable pod for getting those hard-to-reach places where fur can fly. Swivel steering lets you maneuver the machine in unique ways while the built-in LED headlight illuminates hair and dust bunnies you may not have otherwise seen. For hairballs, muddy paw prints or kitty litter trails, there is a self-cleaning Pet Power Brush that helps remove hair and ground in dirt from carpeted stairs and upholstery.
