It’s very similar in design to the Shark Rocket Pet Pro with MultiFlex IZ163H though it lacks the former’s flexible wand and comes with an additional dusting brush for collecting fine allergens. It’s a little smaller than that of the Shark Vertex Lightweight Cordless and consequently needs to be emptied more often. It’s made of clear plastic and has a fill line to let you know when it’s reached max capacity, but it’s a little hard to see. However, it’s worth noting that some larger forms of debris, like rice or cereal, can get stuck in the middle portion of the dirt compartment rather than the bigger outer section. Thankfully, you shouldn’t encounter this issue when cleaning up smaller debris like baking soda, sand, or pet hair.

This hand vac weighs just over 1kg, and is more powerful than its cheaper brother – great if you’re hoping to clean up after the kids or pets quickly and efficiently. The Removable Li-Ion battery charges in just under two hours and gave us around 40 mins of dyson robot vacuum cleaning time – enough to do the whole house. The LED lights on the front also warned us if the battery was low. The attachments were handy too – especially the brush tool that simply clicked on and came off at the push of a button when you needed to clean cushions and upholstery. No matter how big your home, a handheld vacuum will always come in handy.
If you want more versatility in your cleaning routine, the irobot vacuum cleaner stick vacuum is a great choice. Weighing in at 6.9 pounds, it converts from a stick vacuum to a hand vacuum, so you can clean floors and furniture with just one appliance. The high-capacity dust cup holds lots of debris, and it’s super easy to empty without getting dirty, thanks to the hands-free dirt ejector. Plus, it comes with upholstery and crevice tool attachments to make handheld cleaning even more effective. The vacuum’s foam filters are washable, and this model plugs directly into a standard wall outlet to charge.
The Rocket Pet Pro can, like the rest of the vacuums listed here, transition from hardwood to carpet seamlessly. It can effectively clean both low and medium pile carpet, and its battery can last for up to 40 minutes. However, like some of the other Shark cordless vacuums on our list, the battery life decreases when using higher-power modes.
It’s powered by a rechargeable battery, which Shark claims will last for up to 60 minutes between charges. If you want a more affordable cordless model, the Hoover ONEPWR is a reliable pick. It’s sleek and lightweight, at under 9 pounds, and can transition to multiple surface types. For homes with pets, this vacuum is a powerful hair and dirt remover with an antimicrobial pet filter and brush roll, and the brush roll is completely removable for easy cleaning.
It also delivers superior performance on bare floors and low-pile carpet. Conversely, the Shark is better built and offers better overall battery performance. If you have your shark cordless eye on a stick vacuum, you may be disappointed with the Lupe Pure vacuum cleaner. It’s as powerful as any stick and its weight distribution may make it easier to use for some.
