20 Best Home Vacuum For Pets (2023 Updated)

Could not be happier with this vacuum – it provides an incredible amount of suction, it has a high quality construction, and there’s many intelligent features built in that make it a joy to use. This is actually my second Dyson ball vacuum – sadly, my ex-wife took my original 😉 That vacuum was amazing and am super happy to have this newer version.

The construction is top-notch. Everything is tight, solid, and durable. For reference, the original I had was over 3 years old and it performed just like new after many years of using it to clean up after 2 dogs and a couple cats.

This newer version actually feels a little more robust so I am sure this will last just as long if not longer. In terms of cleaning power, this could be the main reason Dyson is so popular. It provides quite of bit of suction for everything from floors to furniture.

The main head on the bottom of the vacuum has 3 different modes from hard surfaces like tile and hardwood to light carpet to thicker carpet and it does a great job at picking up pet hair even with the deepest of carpets.

This version of the Ball Animal 3 comes with a combination tool (nozzle and soft brush) as well as a stair tool. The stair tool has these little velour strips that helps pick up hair from carpets and that works well.

If your pet (or other humans – no judgement) shed a lot hair, you may want to consider the Ball Animal 3 Extra which runs $100 more but that comes with the Pet Groom Tool as well as the Tangle-free turbine tool.

I had the tangle-free turbine tool on my last Dyson and found that to be a fantastic tool for cleaning cat hair from furniture. The other thing about Dyson products are the smart features that make it super convenient and also eco-friendly.

The canister for storing debris easily pops off with a single button and then a secondary button releases the bottom of the canister for emptying easily into a trash can. The hose is built right into the handle of the vacuum so there’s none of that additional hose that you have to loop around the vacuum or anything like that.

It’s all integrated. In addition, there’s also eco-friendly features such as a washable filter as well as even how Dyson products are packaged. 99% of the packaging is completely recyclable. There’s a reason Dyson products are so popular and I’m super happy to add this to my other Dyson products.

So I’ve owned a Ball Animal 2 for about 3 yrs and have had a love/hate relationship with it. And having owned the Ball Animal 3 for almost a month now, I can honestly say I still have a love/hate relationship with this brand.

I purchased the Animal 3 because I was glad to finally see that Dyson opted to change the Cleaning Head to what the UK variant has had for awhile now, which is having a carpet height selector. Now I really have to say that the Animal 3 has so much better suction with having the carpet height selector, but that also has a negative that I’ve found.

I find it very difficult to turn now compared to the Animal 2 which turned on a dime. I will for sure keep it as I don’t want to jump through the hoops of returning it, but I don’t believe I will be making any future Dyson vacuum purchases in the future after this experience.

The cost of these vacuums is very much on the high side and with that you would expect that they would do their own inhouse study/testing and they seem to have failed at this. In the end it basically comes down to the fact that the negatives outweigh the positives when compared to what you expect when making such an expensive purchase.

Yes the suction is probably the best you’ll ever have with any vacuum on the market BUT with negative costs. Being a “BALL” vacuum and unlike the Animal 2 that could turn easily, this thing is a major struggle to turn.

NOT GOOD! The Animal 3 also has the same issues like the Animal 2 in that trying to use the hose is a chore on it’s own. The suction is just so strong that you basically need to have the vacuum right next you or end up having to do things like.

prop the vacuum around the corner of a wall and then stretch out the hose while also having some decent arm and upper body strength to do so with even minimal comfort. The “Cyclone” portion of the vacuum is a very poor design.

Due to a common static charge while vacuuming, it allows for dust to build up in massive clumps within the Cyclone piece. You need to constantly bang the heck out of this piece while over a trash can in order to keep it even somewhat clean.

And they don’t make it so the Cyclone can be easily disassembled for cleaning which is a huge disappointment and failure within it’s design. I also find it upsetting that even though Dyson offers a TON of accessories for these upright models.

they don’t offer one of the most common of accessories. a basic dusting brush! Yes it comes with a combo tool for crevice and dusting. They even offer a wide variety of other dusting attachments. ones that can twist for angled dusting, one that can bend etc etc.

but then not your basic common everyday short dusting brush that’s found on 99. 9% of vacuums since they were invented. Really boggles my mind. No lie. since I still have the Animal 2, I took the combo tool from that one and ended up cutting off basically 80% of the crevice tool portion to make my own “basic short dusting brush!”.

Dyson if your listening: You should have listened to your customer base and address the issue with the hose being difficult to use. I’m sure there has to be a solution. maybe a hose that’s not as stiff? Look into my “home modification” of the basic short dusting brush and release a factory version.

And please look into the problem of the Animal 3 being so much harder to turn compared to the Animal 2.

GOOD – Long cord – Good suction – End-user serviceable design – Fairly compact BAD – Doesn’t steer as easily as other swivel heads – Fixed extension wand can get in the way – Cleaning on hard floors could be better – Runs hot DETAILS Dyson vacuums are well known for their performance and reliability.

My experience with this rendition of their Ball design bears that out, and I’ve been largely pleased with it. The Animal version of the Ball is marketed specifically at people with pets, to clean up the hair from carpets and furniture.

I find it’s also handy if you or the people you live with have long hair. In general, it cleans quite well. It has very powerful suction and the power bar base has three settings for deep pile carpet, normal carpet, and hard floors.

The power bar itself can also be toggled on and off. I found it cleaned my carpets quite well, though cleaning my hardwood left a little to be desired ( the instruction manual recommends turning the power bar off for this, I’m not sure why ).

It also has a very generous cord length. And though Dyson created the Ball design specifically to make it easier to steer the vacuum around corners and obstacles, I find it much stiffer to turn than other current swivel head vacuums.

I appreciate Dyson’s design in the vacuum. It’s fairly modular, making it relatively easy to service and maintain yourself, provided you can get a replacement part. The filters are washable so you can reuse them instead of constantly buying new replacements.

It also keeps things slim and trim so the vacuum is a little more compact than other full-size uprights. This particular model also comes with two extra attachment tools. One is an upholstery brush/cleaner, the other is a pet grooming tool that’s supposed to suck up the shedded hair as you brush.

How well your pet will handle being brushed near a vacuum remains to be seen. But sometimes I think it tries to be too clever. It uses a friction snap instead of a pedal to release the vertical lock.

It’s usually fine, but it also means you can accidentally release the upright lock when you don’t want to, like if you want to tilt the vacuum back and roll it somewhere or even if you pick it up and then set it down.

The extension wand is stored inside the hose in the main column. This is nice for reducing the exterior dimensions, but it also means you have to unwind the entire cord and slide out the entire wand when you want to do some quick spot cleaning.

You can detach the wand from the hose if you don’t need or want the reach, like in a small corner or nook, but in those moments where you just want to quickly clean up some cookie crumbs or dust bunnies, it’s more involved than you might be used to.

The main handle is also reversed to accommodate the extension wand, putting the main column below your hand instead of above it when you’re using the vacuum. This means the vacuum tilts back farther than others when using it.

For myself, I found my legs and knees bumped into main unit a lot since it was now leaning more toward me. Most of these complaints are small quirks, admittedly. They may or may not matter to you. All in all, it’s a well built vacuum, it cleans well, and it stores easily.

It does have a few quirks and the “exhaust” air is quite hot, but these are minor complaints on an otherwise great vacuum.

Within 1 minute of its’ first use this model #2475 Pet Hair Eraser Turbo had its’ brush roll stop spinning before a small 10×10 foot area was complete. The belt assembly is centre mounted so debris from both sides of the brush roll collects towards its’ centralized belt motor which sits open with nothing to protect it from debris.

This results in it being the furthest thing from the “tangle free” unit it is advertised as. Removal of the head screws holding the bottom cover in place is quite easy so I was able to see what was causing the jam (see picture attached).

The manufacturer claims the unit can accept hair length of 4-8 inches. The longest of the hairs in this pictures is 3 inches, so the job in question should have been well within the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Upon reassembling the base the unit promptly got jammed a second time. After once again removing the clog I decided to give it a different task, cleaning hardwood. This unit has a key feature for those with hardwood floors, its’ brush can turn on/off, saving your hardwood from being scratched by the roller.

Sadly there is very little suction (see video attached). I found without the brush roll spinning the machine picks up essentially nothing. The last major feature this unit is its’ heavily marked “pet hair eraser” attachments.

The Pet Turbo Eraser” is nothing more than the same “turbo brush” or “handi-mate” that has been commonplace on vacuum’s since the 1950’s. The “two in one” pet brush is a traditional fabric brush as is the crevice tool.

There is nothing fundamentally different with these attachments than what is industry standard from most vacuum suppliers. I’ve had Bissell units before, the last being the significantly cheaper “Clearview Alergen Lift-Off Pet Upright Vaccuum.

” It lasted 2 years before dying a few weeks after its warranty expired precipitating the purchase of this Turbo model. All in all a poor vacuum. Don’t buy this.

I LOVE this vacuum. I’ve had it for about 5 years now, I use about 2 times a week. I love all the accessories that came with it. Especially the pet hair attachment. It can’t hold all the accessories that came with it.

I just use a container in the closet to hold the extras I don’t use very often. Everyone in my family including my dog has short hair but I do not. It is my hair that tangles most vacuums. I never had a problem with hair tangles on the brush.

Even if I did, there is plenty of space to get a seam ripper or scissors in and cut the hair away with no issue. I did notice when vacuuming hard surface floors there was a bit of blow back, but it wasn’t much; certainly not a deal breaker unless you are only cleaning hard surfaces.

The belt being 1/3 of the way onto the head, leaves a strip of un-vacuumed floor. However if using a tight V pattern this would not be a problem. I maintain it about ever 2 months. Wash the canister, the filters, the hose, clean the head, there usual spots that get dirty.

It’s easy to maintain, probably why the work horse is still going. I’ve only recently noticed the motor sounding odd. My repair guy says it’s still alive and kicking but to repair it will cost more than a new vacuum.

We have a Samoyed dog, and anyone who knows and loves this breed, knows they have a double coat of fur and when they blow their coat the beautiful white fur is everywhere. My husband (God love him!) helps me out by vacuuming our entire house every day.

Yes, this is absolutely true. I am married to a saint! We have gone through so many vacuum cleaners throughout our married life, that we could start a vacuum cleaner museum. None of them really did a fabulous job, and every day my husband would say this vacuum cleaner is horrible.

While we did read several other reviews that this vacuum was good for picking up pet fur, we still had our doubts. really? all this fur? a Samoyed’s fur? Well when we tell you this vacuum does a fantastic job, we are not spouting hyperbole! The amount of fur and dirt it picks up is unbelievable.

And the ease of getting rid of it all simply by releasing the lever and dropping it into the waste basket is a fabulous feature. My husband is extremely pleased and happy and so am I! Thank you Bissell!!.

I was going back and forth between this and the shark navigator cordless. They seemed pretty even on reviews. I mostly decided on this because it’s was on sale on the Hoover website! I had to wait a little longer to get it then I would from other sites(about 5 days from the day I ordered it) but it was worth the price difference for sure.

I was worried about it as I have 4 dogs. A great dane(high shedder short hair), a Mini Aussie( How shedder clumpy hair), a King Shepherd(high shedder clumpy long hair) and a Cheweenie(high shedder short hair.

I also have a maine coon cat. So, I essentially have lots of hair everywhere, all the time. I do NOT know how this performs on carpers because I bought it for my wood floors( bathrooms(2), hallway, entryway, dining room, and kitchen.

) So far it has worked great for me. I have had ZERO clog issues despite the amount of hair it has to pick up and I have been able to vacuum all the above mentioned rooms in one swoop without the battery going dead.

It picks everything up easily. I actually accidentally sucked up a good size piece of paper today and really though it would cause my first clog, but atlas it didn’t. So far this vacuum is performing perfectly for me.

I think the only downside I can think of as of now is the fact that a replacement battery is 100$. However, there are off brand batteries other places that are compatible with this vacuum for half the price, and the reviews on them state that they actually work better than the original hoover battery.

So, I will probably just go that route whenever I need a new battery. If you want a cordless for wood (or any non carpeted) floors, this one is definitely recommended. And it does hold up against that pet hair!.

I’ve had this vacuum for over a year now. I don’t have pets, but I have 2 children under 4 and an adult child aka my husband. This is the one vacuum I will hands down buy again. Kids drop Play-Doh all over the carpet-sucks it right up once its dried.

Kids think eating ground beef is an Olympic event and it ends up all over the floor- Check! Kids have a contest on how many pieces they can rip up a kleenex into-kleenex doesn’t stand a chance. Kids grab that cheerio box and upside down it goes- your going to want to grab that handheld cause this vacuum is going to push it around.

needs to sit a little higher off the floor. Husband forgets to take off shoes and tracks dirt everywhere- you should be good on the smaller pieces. I can vacuum the living room, playroom, kitchen, entry, bathroom, laundry room, that includes two carpets and a lot of rugs with one full charge, even after a year.

Love that it holds it’s suction until it dies. The bagless dirt bin is awesome but longer hair does get stuck in it and you have to pull it out. I’d change the seal around the top to prevent dust build up on the rims.

The brush is sooo easy to take out and clean. If your wanting to really get every piece of dust, go for your corded upright. Best part about this vacuum. my husband has actually used it without me asking!! What!! Craziness.

I Know!.

I am thoroughly surprised, yet thrilled, that this vacuum performs as it does, and cost so little compared to high end machines. I know it would be expecting a LOT for this vacuum to handle 3 dogs and our entire apartment.

This ONEPWR Hoover is simple, but that’s also what I really like about it. I love that it stands on its own, tucked away in my laundry closet. 1 month in now, and I am loving it! We vacuum our hardwoods and bedroom carpet, and our sofas, every day.

The battery lasts SO LONG! After vacuuming I swap out the same battery into my handheld and continue until all the hair is picked up. The suction of this vacuum is quite strong and picks everything up on the first pass.

We put the battery on the charger after doing the entire apartment, about every other day! I also have the Hoover handheld that came with my vacuum, and it removes all the hair and dirt in hard to reach spots, baseboards, and under furniture and my large appliances.

We empty the canister and shake out the filter after every cleaning so that the suction remains at its highest. I was hoping for a good vacuum when we made this purchase, but instead. we got a GREAT vacuum!! #sweepstakes.

I wanted to like this vacuum so badly but unfortunately it was just poorly designed. If you want a vacuum that has a functional detachment and can be used on carpet without pulling muscles, this is not it.

First off, It does do a great job cleaning the carpet which is probably how it garnered such good reviews. However, that positive aspect is rendered moot when you can’t even use the vacuum. For example, the auto adjustment for carpet to hard floor that it boasts, hardly works.

Since you can’t adjust the height settings on your own, it sticks way too far down on most carpet and thus is impossible to push around. It did not move with ease on any carpet and needed to be pushed with two arms just to keep it moving.

Furthermore, the hose that detaches for detail cleaning is impossible to use. It has two feet of hard plastic connected to the hose so it doesn’t bend and is rendered unusable unless you want to get corners on a 6 foot ceiling.

Sure, you can use it to vacuum little spaces, if you’re willing to stand three feet away from them and have no mobility or dexterity with the vacuum. I hate to be negative but I don’t want others to get swooned by the design or positive reviews like I did.

Ive used Dyson for the past 20 years. Theyre sturdy, reliable and will keep going for years. I was so pleased to be able to find this model as Dyson seem to be moving away from making cylinders and upright plug in vacuums.

This upright model is really powerful and is perfect for our busy house and constantly malting collie. We have carpets throughout our home which keep our draft old Victorian town house cosy and warm underfoot.

So our Dyson vacuum is in constant use. This model is light and easy to use, especially on flights of stairs. The ball makes it effortless manoeuvring around furniture. It empties easily and cleanly.

There are plenty of attachments including two spinning brush heads, one slightly smaller than the large one on the main part of the vacuum, and a small one which is great for the carpeted stairs. The attachments clip on and off easily and all but the larger brush head can be stored on vacuum ready and at hand to use while your cleaning around the house.

The only downside is the extendable hose and metal tube which are great for reaching difficult areas but are also awkward to use in others. The hose keeps tightening up (I think due to the powerful suction) so its difficult to vacuum away from the main body of the machine.

(My previous Dyson was a cylinder type so I was used to working with it differently. ) All in all, Im very pleased with my new Dyson and I know Ill get used to using an upright again. I love how powerful it is and its always pleasing to feel and see all the muck being pulled out of the carpet so easily.

This is my 5th Dyson machine so I am loyal to the brand. However, this vacuum is horrible… if you want to use it on CARPET. I have a low cut pile in all bedrooms, not a shag, just a normal carpeting.

This machine is so very hard to push, but the most frustrating thing is how the roller just stops randomly, sometimes within seconds, sometimes within minutes. To get it going again, you have to turn the machine off completely, then back on.

And then the process starts all over again. I hate this thing! I can’t speak to all the attachments because I haven’t used any of them since I am definitely sending this machine back. Good suction is terrific, but an upright vacuum should work properly on carpeting since primarily a vacuum is for carpet; this machine obviously has too much suction since it sticks to the floor, won’t move, and shuts down.

To say I’m disappointed is an understatement. The self-adjusting cleaner head, all floors, and whole-home advertising is deceiving. This model is a good choice ONLY if you have NO CARPETING in your home.

I should have read the bad reviews more carefully before purchasing, but I trusted Dyson, and didn’t. Evidently this is a real common problem, because I’m not the only one reporting it. Dyson evidently knows, because seems like they are sending out the same generic reply that it doesn’t work on all carpet when it’s brought up in reviews.

They know, but 1) not fixing the issue and 2) not making that point clear in their “Learn more” details. If you want to vacuum carpet, rethink purchasing this machine.

I have been a shark customer for a very long time. I have the power lift-away from years ago and the things runs like a champ. However, I saw this one and thought WOW no more cutting the dog hair from the wheel and an XL cup will save me so.

much. time! I would say overall it’s definitely a good vacuum BUT I miss features from my other one that make me sad when I pull this one out of the closet. I do still have the other so I can use both.

Pros: Lightweight- for a large vacuum, this is very easy to lift XL Cup- definitely helps when you have 2 very large furry dogs Long Hose-ish- long but doesn’t reach like it states Super Sucker- I did think the suction was very good on getting up massive amounts of dog hair (Border Collie/Newfoundland and Great Pyrenees/Aussie mix) Cons: No Lift-Away- Doesn’t seem like that big of a deal until you are going up and down the stairs or reaching into vaulted ceilings, the canister doesn’t fall over No Light- again not a HUGE deal but seeing dust bunnies run from you was easier with a light Hose- The hose states it’ll reach 12′ making stairs easy but let me tell you, it does not even come close.

Like mentioned above, once you get hose fully extended you need something to weigh it down so it doesn’t fall over from over extension Accessories- My liftaway had a ton of accessories for options i.

e. stair brushroll, and a few others but let’s stick with that one. For a machine that claims it’s turbo power for pets to not provide a stair brushroll seems silly, I have tried to rig my old one to fit my new machine and it works just ok, I end up using my old vacuum to do the stairs ugh.

Self Cleaning Brushroll- seems ok for now but still have hair wrapped around it that i’m sure I’ll have to cut off. Overall: I like the vacuum, esthetically it’s really good looking (because you know that’s important) It seems to do a good job as needed, I wish it was a clone of my liftaway with “newer” features but it’s not.

If you plan on never, ever using the attachments then maybe this vacuum will work for you as an upright. However, if you intend to actually use the attachments for cleaning, then stop, turn and run away from this vacuum.

First of all, the following product description is a flat-out lie: “An extendable hose for up to 12 feet of total reach gives you access to hard-to-clean areas above the floor like stairs, furniture, and more.

” In reality, you can reach maybe 7 feet (max) feet before the vacuum tips and falls over. Specifically, the hose is flexible but it does NOT stretch – not even a millimeter. The hose’s lack of elasticity, paired with how top-heavy the vacuum is, means the unit is always falling over when using the attachments.

To realistically reach more than 6 to 7 feet you need someone to hold the vacuum so it doesn’t tip over, which is totally asinine. The vacuum does not come with a dusting brush. C’mon man, it is the attachment I use the most.

I had to purchase the dusting brush separately from Shark and paying shipping costs. It seems Shark intentionally made the hose an odd size, because I tried the dusting brush from my shop vac and a brush from old vacuum but neither fit the Shark’s hose.

Vacuum does not have an auto-retractable cord. I knew this going in, but didn’t realize how much I would miss the feature until it was gone. Vacuum does not have a light/ head lamp. I also knew this going in but, again, didn’t realize how much I would miss the feature.

My final thought is that the vacuum works fine as an upright. However, for cleaning with attachments it is nearly unusable. Knowing what I know now, I would not have purchased this vacuum, nor do I recommend it.

The Hoover Onepwr Blade plus 2 is a convenient and powerful cordless hand held vacuum cleaner that’s been designed to perform a number of tasks. The unit also has a couple of features that make life simpler.

Although not as powerful as my large roll-around, I can pick up the Hoover Onepwr off the convenient wall mounted storage unit and get to cleaning up instantly, especially between the big cleanups when i use my full sized unit.

The Hoover arrived with 2 batteries so that the Onepwr can be in use instantly, not having to drag out the plug-in unit, which is a great convenience, in between major cleanups. I had the provided storage rack up on the wall in minutes, it has storage for all the attachments as well as the vacuum itself.

The Onepwr comes with a crevice tool as well as a dust brush and upholstery brush which fit snugly to the hand held unit or onto the extension pole that allows you to stand upright as you are cleaning with the lighted, multi surface, spinning head floor nozzle and carpet beater.

The Hoover runs for just over one half hour, for each battery, giving over an hour of total cleaning time available continuously. A convenient charger is provided to keep your batteries always ready.

One feature that I really like is the ability to remove the dust canister to empty it, separating from the main unit so that you don’t have to try to awkwardly handle the entire unit while dumping the canister contents into the trash.

Again, a versatile and powerful unit that will quickly clean up almost any mess stylishly and easily.

The Hoover WindTunnel High Performance Pet vacuum really sucks! And I mean that in the best way possible. This vacuum cleaner has significantly better suction than our previous vacuum. I was able to fill it twice in a single bedroom and it hadn’t been that long since it was swept.

That may be the best feature of the WindTunnel, but it wasn’t my favorite feature. Upon unpacking it my wife and I were struck by how long the power cord is. Holy cow! Whoever designed this thing has clearly ran a vacuum cleaner and understands the misery of having to move the cord constantly.

Our home isn’t that large, but it isn’t tiny either. I was able to plug the Hoover WindTunnel in in my living room and sweep the entire house including the two bedrooms and family room that are upstairs.

Color me impressed. I was also fairly impressed with how well it handled hair. My pets are short haired and don’t shed that much, but my wife and two of my kids have long hair. It gets everywhere and tends to wind up really bad in the brush on vacuum cleaners.

I don’t know if it’s the design of the brush or the massive amount of suction, but I don’t have miles of hair wrapped around the brush, so that’s a plus. It wouldn’t be appropriate to only highlight the WindTunnel’s strengths, so I’d like to mention a few things I didn’t like.

First, about half of my house has hardwood floors, so we generally sweep a lot with the vacuum on the lowest height setting. I had the WindTunnel sitting on a small runner in my dining room while I was using the hose to suck up dust bunnies around the edge of the room and I heard an awful growling noise.

I looked over to notice that the WindTunnel was trying to eat the runner it was sitting on. That’s how I discovered that the brush never stops spinning. Every vacuum cleaner I’ve ever had turned the brush off when set to the lowest height.

Fortunately the WindTunnel has strong enough suction that it doesn’t fling stuff around, but I did find it strange. I have a really bad dust allergy and I was hoping that the WindTunnel High Performance Pet vacuum might be better than average at trapping allergens.

No luck, I was still completely miserable after running the vacuum. I’m not sure this is Hoover’s fault, but it’s worth mentioning. The last thing I want to mention is the various accessories that came with the WindTunnel.

Most vacuums come with some sort of brush-like attachment for the end of the hose. Hoover redesigned this tool to not have the brush stuff around the edges and instead it has these rubber veins, which I can only assume are meant to avoid hair tangling up in it.

My experience was that these rubber veins are too long and even with the powerful suction of the WindTunnel, I found this attachment to be mostly useless. There’s another attachment that has a small head with a roller that spins around.

I’m not impressed with it either. So both of the attachments that make this WindTunnel for “Pets” weren’t that useful. The long tapered attachment is pretty nice. It has a little groove in the end that I’m guessing is to keep the thing from sucking down too much on a surface, but I noticed it was awesome for cleaning the blades on our ceiling fans.

The little groove fits around the edge of the blade in just a way that you can suck up the dust without knocking down a bunch of dust bunnies. Overall I like the WindTunnel. Hoover knocked it out of the park with the super long power cord and that great suction.

The attachments are somewhat unimpressive and I don’t know how I feel about the brush running on the lowest setting.

I received this Hoover WindTunnel High Performance Pet Upright from BzzAgent for my honest review. This Hoover vacuum was extremely easy to put together. I will mention if you have long nails you may have issues with the power button, but once I figured it out I was able to turn it on with zero issues.

This vac offers a setting for hard floors to low to high carpet. This is a perfect feature for myself since I have vinyl plank flooring, rugs and carpet in my home. This vacuum did a beautiful job picking up dust and pet fur from my vinyl floors.

The real test however was when I used it on my carpets and rugs. Need I said holy suction it did not disappoint. I’ve been using my Shark upright but I noticed right away the significant difference in suction power in this Hoover WindTunnel.

No more having to use my pet lint hair roller multiple times before I vacuum. This Hoover WindTunnel did the job picking up hair, crumbs the kids dropped and all other debris. In comparison to the vacuum I have used I would say his Hoover performs exceptionally well.

I love that this pet Hoover WindTunnel includes the pet attachments for furniture. It’s easy to use for hard to reach areas such as ceiling and is great on stairs. I would absolutely purchase this Hoover WindTunnel Pet Upright for my home cleaning needs.

This is a vacuum that I would absolutely recommend to my family and friends. This would be a great vacuum for homes with pets and children.

Wow! This vacuum has suction power. Have 2 long hair cats in household. This vacuum never looses power and does an excellent job on either the thick pile carpet or wood floors. The attachments are purposeful and stay in place when vacuuming.

It is a heavy vacuum when using on carpet. Between older age and arthritis, daughter has to vacuum carpeted areas.

Our old vacuum stopped working and I went online to search for one that would do a good job on pet hair and make the carpet look like it had been vacuumed but also not spend a small fortune. Our home has a long hallway and although relatively new it has builder grade carpet.

With the vacuums we’ve had the past few years within a few hours after vacuuming the hallway carpet looks trampled and matted down. There are 2 people and 3 cats in our home. This vacuum delivered last week and I immediately got it set up and vacuumed.

WOW, was very impressed. It did a phenomenal job in picking up cat hair. I was amazed at how much it picked up and the hallway carpet looked all fluffed up. Fast forward 3 days and the hall carpet still looked great.

I feel like this vacuum did a deeper cleaning than our previous one and we’ve had the big name vacuum that cost 3x the cost of this vacuum and this one works far better. It’s relatively lightweight for a full size vacuum and easy to maneuver.

Very happy with this purchase and delivery right to our door.

We have owned this vacuum for a few months and in that time have ordered 6 belts. We just put on the 6th belt last night and it completely stopped working. It didn’t blow a fuse, it just quit. I usually purchase cheap little cleaners and decided to invest in a Hoover.

After spending several hundred dollars, it was just a disappointment. You have disappointed me Hoover. Your name did mean quailty and I thought this would be a good investment. I truly hope you attempt to make this right.

The first thing I said when I opened my Shark WANDVAC® POWER PET Cordless Hand Vac was “omgg it’s sooo cute!” haha but really, it is! It’s sleek, yet effective. It’s small, yet powerful. My favorite thing is that is doesn’t take up much space on my counter.

It takes up about as much space as a blender would. It’s also super lightweight as well The set up was east, you just snap the bottom piece together, plug it in, and stick the vacuum and attachments into their respective slots and let it charge.

Once charged, you can attach which attachment you wish and go to town on whatever mess you want to vacuum. There are 3 modes: Normal, Eco and Boost. Eco saves battery, and boost gives you an extra boost of power to get those tough spots.

Once you are done, you can empty the compartment that catches the debris. I suggest opening over a trash can or in a bag as stuff will come flying out one you press the button and the door flings open.

This was able to get my couch super clean from my Pugs hair and picked up quite big debris (eg candy wrapper) It has a powerful suction, especially when the boost mode is applied. The brushes that are included work will to get up stubborn debris and hair.

I couldn’t be happier with my new Shark cordless wandvac!.

I bought this handheld vacuum about a month ago. Right away I loved the slinder design and the “no hold” power button. I had a Dyson handheld which was bulky, heavy, and you had to hold the power button to use it.

It also died one month after the warranty ran out (the reason we boughtthis Shark handheld. ) I have arthritis really bad in my shoulders, elbow, wrists, and fingers so the lightweight design of the Shark is fantastic.

Also, having to hold the power button on the Dyson really made my fingers and wrist hurt before I was done vacuuming the couch. The battery on the Shark lasts long enough to vacuum my whole couch (a sectional) as well as our stairs (16 total.

) I have also used it in my vehicle. It worked great getting the beach sand out of the seats (all weather material,) as well as the mats (all weather. ) The sleek design allows you to get it into smaller spaces unlike the Dyson, which was so bulky it limited its use as a handheld vacuum.

Overall I LOVE this vacuum. I was already a Shark vacuum lover and this little guy was icing on the cake.

I bought this to pick up cat hair from the sofa or elsewhere on a daily basis. The problem is, the attachment has a brush, so the cat fur just gets tangled in the brush and you have to pull it off the brush when you’re finished using it.

So, I ordered the $50 motorized upholstery attachment, but it didn’t work at all. Shark is sending me a new one. On other Shark vacs, the brush can come off the attachment to use on upholstery, but not on this one that’s made for and costs more because it’s for pets.

Although I like the attractive, sleek design and color, this vac is very easy to power on by mistake. While trying to get it out of its original packaging, I turned it on accidentally, and have done so a few more times trying to change attachments.

I like the small bin and the filter, which is washable but has to dry for 24 hours, and I needed an additional one (they are $15 each!) while one is drying, but Shark doesn’t have the filters in stock and you can’t buy them anywhere else.

So I have to wait. For $150, I expected better, but can work around the power button and the filter. If the new motorized head actually works on my sofa, I’ll be very happy with it, which I certainly should, since it’s now a $200 portable vacuum! I’ll amend this review when I get the new motorized attachment.

I don’t normally write product reviews, but I’ve been so happy with this vacuum I’ve decided to take the time to do so. I didn’t get the Jet expecting it to replace my current “drag along” vacuum, but rather as something easy to get out quickly to clear up spills and such.

After having the Jet for a few weeks now, I’ve been amazed at how good it is. I have stopped using my old vacuum completely!! I was sceptical about how good the suction could be on something that weighs so little, but I was wrong to be.

The suction is so powerful I rarely need to use full power mode! I was doubtful if the battery would last long enough for me to vacuum downstairs or upstairs in one go, but it can almost do both! The whole vacuum has obviously been well thought out during the design process as the Jet is comfortable to use when vacuuming as it doesn’t require a trigger to be held in continuously as I’ve seen when looking at other brands.

The maintenance is also simple as the bin is easy to remove and can be completely washed (as can the filters). I can’t recommend the Jet 60 highly enough, my only regret is not getting it sooner.

This product initially works well but is poorly designed and will break soon after purchase (within warranty period) – check out the “product review” website for plenty of honest reviews! I bought mine at JB HiFi and it broke after about 8 months clearly due to poor design.

JB said to bring it all back to have it sent off for repairs (they could see the 2 damaged parts and agreed that it should be covered by warranty and to expect it back in 2-4 weeks). Initially the Samsung service centre called me to state that it was CID (customer induced damage) which is not covered under warranty.

When pressed on the matter, it turns out they hadn’t even inspected it yet!!! To cut a long story short with many frustrating calls from the Samsung service centre, they still refused to cover it. JB hifi was simply marvellous and opted to pay for the repairs themselves!!!!! I finally received the vacuum back after 3 months with some bonus damage from the service centre which I have just decided to live with because Samsung are sooooo hard to deal with.

I will always support JB for this kind of customer service and have decided to boycott ALL Samsung products for the rest of forever!!!! The warranty is not worth the paper it is written on – don’t be fooled! You have been warned.

This vacuum was on my radar for 2-3 months before I pulled the trigger. Historically, I’d never considered purchasing a Shark product that was somewhat comparable in price to a Dyson. It sounds silly, but does it really? Dyson seems to have the “market” convinced that they’re the king of suction.

I currently own 2 Dyson vacuums (handheld and upright) and they a do a great job on hard wood and tile floors, but stairs and car interiors were a huge hassle to clean regularly. In addition to those 2, I own and use an additional 6 handheld or upright vacuums in combination against German Shepherd glitter.

The Shark ® Vertex ™ Bagless Corded Canister Vacuum in Black/Copper has blown all of them all away! I’m not particularly strong, so the overall weight of the canister and the attachment is significantly important to me.

It’s so versatile and powerful out of the box and I think this is due to the actual power cord vs cordless vacuums. In my opinion, corded power is significantly stronger. I’ve been able to clean all areas with ease using the vacuum head, power handle, and attachments.

Hard to reach areas behind the toilets, the dust on baseboards, windowsills, light fixtures, inside drawers, behind/between car seats, lint catch in the dryer, my dog’s bed (twice a day), and so many other things that I hated doing because the other vacuums are so much heavier or cumbersome.

The brush roll attachment is not too wide and not too narrow, as it covers a great amount of space but it able to navigate tighter spaces that my uprights cannot. I was so impressed with it’s performance that I purchased additional attachments on the Shark website.

The Self Cleaning Pet Power brush is phenomenal! They should really sell a version that includes this brush for pet parents, because the brush is insanely good. I spent an additional $160 for 4 attachments plus tax/shipping, but only the power pet brush was really necessary.

Overall, I wish I would have purchased this much sooner! I purchased it when Costco had it priced much lower than BBB, but with a sale and a BBB Beyond + membership, it was still cheaper and only a few bucks more than the non-duo clean version.

The only con, is that the dust cup does get dusty when it’s emptied- but like someone else said, that’s normal with any vacuum. German Shedder (Shepherd) mom approved!.

My Shark canister vacuum was a Christmas gift. We have a Shark lift away upright; which I love but I wanted a canister vacuum to be able to clean everything from one room to the next. Unfortunately, thus one just doesn’t do the task for me.

I cannot go very far with this vacuum as it tips over while trying to get to the attachments or if you are trying to vacuum from the floor the hose isn’t very bling or an addition metal hide attachment is needed.

I like to vacuum my drapes, window shades and window seals and furniture. If I try to reach my curtains the entire canister lifts up which makes it difficult for me to get my chores done. I also do not like the attachments being attached on the outside as they get In the way and fall off.

The canister unit needs to have a self storing compartment under the lid for additional attachments. The beater bar unit needs to be able to stand up by itself without falling over. I must definitely would love Shark to have a model canister that I can use from one room to the next with just a switch of attachments.

Including a separate floor attachment for hard floors along with the crevice and small wand for furniture would be awesome. An additional metal wand that would extend so I could reach my ceiling fans and drapes would be amazing.

Having a detachable beater bar unit along with the separate hard floor attachment would ever so helpful and will save on the beater bar unit getting dirty from kitchen and bathroom floors. If you could take these added features with the awesome cleaning power of the Shark; you would have a winning machine.

I hope these suggestions will be welcomed by your designing department. Thank you for allowing my review of this product. In do love the cleaning power of your uprights; I just really like the all in one canister vacuum.

Shark Vertex Bagless Corded Canister Vacuum with DuoClean PowerFins is shocking. We had another shark cordless and this by far cleaned up more than ever before. We had no idea what our other vacuum was missing.

Anti-Allergen Complete Seal traps over 99. 9% of dust and allergens… this is totally noticeable once we cleaned with our other and then tested immediately with the Shark Vertex. We have 4 kids & 3 dogs, you can say it gets messy.

But we haven’t had any hair get caught in the PowerFin roller. I’m able to get it high places and under items much easier with the wand. The wand is multi flex so it bends in multiple directions, it has attachments that are helpful for our couch, chairs any upholstered items, even hard to reach cracks and small areas are easier to reach.

The tubing is long too, so I’m not restricted while cleaning. There’s an LED light that allows me to see well under items without moving around, making sure I don’t suck up something not needed. Perfect for the entire house cleaning.

There are super convenient buttons on the handle that allows me to power on/off, low or high pile, hardwood and 3 different levels of suction, it’s a beast! The overall weight is light. Super smooth to move around my home.

And it’s SO quiet! I do wish the cord was longer, being used to my cordless, I have to unplug and reconnect a lot with our large home. But it’s retractable, so no need to wind this around any part of the machine… overall this machine is worth it for the amount of suction, cleaning power and ease of those tough areas to reach.

Bonus here, the look of this vacuum is gorgeous! Sleek, modern, it’s not something that you want to hide, looks beautiful & easy to fold down for storage, I place this in my laundry room, unhidden.

I am basing this review after using the vacuum 4x. I also got it on sale for $135 so that factors in as well. Overall I like it a lot. Powerful suction, even with the attachments. Quiet. Versatile with the tools provided.

I actually enjoy cleaning again with this vacuum! Crevice tool is nice and the mini brush attachment does wonders for my sofas, stairs and hard to reach areas of carpet. I can see my the difference in my carpet as it looks refreshed so much more now.

It’s not heavy, to me, and I carried it around cleaning the corners of my ceiling and baseboards and did not feel tired. Mobility was easy to learn, I think it’s best if you hold the handle at close to a 45 degree angle.

I am 6ft tall and it’s not an issue to do this. I hope it lasts as I would buy this again. Only few things I don’t like, but are not deal breakers for the price I paid are: The cord length, it needs like three more feet.

But if you plan your attack it’s manageable. The vacuum can fall when using the handle and attachments to clean the sofa or high places, but I found that if you just turn the base and face it to the right of what you are cleaning then it has not fallen for me.

The only other picky thing is that you need to use the cord clip on the side when vacuuming or you will trip on it. But when you want to pull the handle out you have to undo the cord, which it’s taken me some times to remember that! Finally, I was impressed that I had accidentally run over a dryer sheet and despite it being stuck in the rollers the thing still kept on going.

Also, and this took me a minute to realize as my previous vacuum is older, but when you turn it on, the suction and rollers will not start until you lower the handle, which is awesome imo. Also let’s you use the attachments and all the power is going to them.

I had a Dyson that lasted 20 YEARS & it was wonderful until it just finally broke, took me 2 yrs to decide on another vacuum because of the various good/bad reviews, I bought a very cheap one until I could make a decision on a better one, BUT instead of spending $400-$500 on another dyson, I decided to give this one a try, on sale it was a great deal I thought! I do like it, BUT it is heavy, can get kinda backbreaking all the pushing & pulling & ONLY has 2 settings> hardwood or carpet, otherwise you can’t move it up or down for short or longer shag carpet/rugs & ect, so it goes full speed suction on everything & will shred a rug & get hung up in seconds.

Cord length is minimal, so have to constantly stop & plug it in closer. No light & only 2 attachments. It gets the job done I guess. I don’t know why in the world anyone would need a 3XL cannister but whatever.

It puts out A LOT OF HEAT, like pushing around a blowing heater. It has a good attachment for furniture & stairs. All in all, for $150 on sale, tax & all, it is a good buy! Hopefully it will last a few yrs!.

Great Black Friday Deal. No model is perfect. This is my 2nd shark. A few complaints on this model. 1. The power cord placement. If you are not holding or manipulating the powercord, because of its placement on the unit it can wrap under the neck at the base.

Then if/when you try to lock it in the upright position the cord can get pinched. Even possibly damaged if you force it not realizing. 2. It does’nt have the power switch on the handle like my other older Shark.

I constantly have to reach around to turn it off instead of pressing a button on the handle where my thumb is already. 3. The filters are different. Standardize to save everyone time and money. Does a great job otherwise.

They hold up better than a comparable model at the price. It’s a household vacuum that I use in my house like a shopvac and I’ve had shop vacs that didn’t last or do as well a job.

This is the worst vacuum I have ever had! It is horrendous for animal hair! When vacuuming the animal hair from my carpet, the base starts vibrating. Turn the vacuum cleaner off and looking under the base I see the animal hair has been rolled into a solid clump and is stuck between the roller and the cover.

This is a constant issue. After emptying the canister and then vacuuming where I know most of the animal hair is, having to stop to remove the clumps of hair I notice the canister is still empty. It literally does not suction in the animal hair.

This is truly the worst vacuum I have ever purchased and my most regretful purchase I have ever made!.

I have had this vacuum for 5 years now. I have 2 cats that shed like crazy along with long hair myself. Just the other day I had an issue with my vacuum not sucking up the dirt anymore. So I decided to take it apart and look closely.

Yes the bottom was clogged and like I said, I have had this vacuum 5 years, this was the first issue and first time cleaning out my vacuum. I also had a loose handle as well as I broke my hose as I pulled it too far and it just broke apart.

So I ordered a replacement hose and also a new belt. Thoroughly cleaned the inside and changed the filters. Screwed it all back together and it is back to being amazing again! I did however break the attachment holder off the side of it and can’t find a replacement to that.

The only thing I do not like about it is, it is heavy. But I love this vacuum and it has seen so much wear and tear and still works as good as new especially after replacing the few needed parts which in general do wear out.

I love the design and suction power so far! The reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is, there was hair that wrapped around the rollers inside the turbo brush attachment and around the vacuum cleaner rollers itself.

This happened fairly quickly. In fairness it was human hair, but the product does claim to have brushes that bypass hair. I was glad to see that the hair was easy to remove, unlike other vacuum cleaners where you have to use a knife or scissors to get all of it loose.

Also, I felt that the attachment wand could be longer. I went ahead and ordered the Telescoping Extension wand from the Bissell site, but I felt with the price, it should already have an extra extension.

They gave me 10% off and free shipping, but I still spent $14 more because the wand is just too short for me.

It seems that our family likes cordless stick vacs. They do seem to be very handy to have around for quick floor cleaning in between the deeper cleanings (when we use our canister vacuum), especially with our three cats.

We have been using two cordless stick vacs over the past three years, a Samsung Jet 70 Pet and another one from a big-name vacuum company. And since between the two we had, the batteries never lasted long enough on singe charges to get all the floors done, we decided to get another one.

Although I had mixed feelings about the Samsung Jet 70 (but we still use it quite a bit), I felt like giving the Samsung Jet 60 Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum a try to see what improvements may have been made in the last couple of years.

The Jet 60 is Samsung’s current entry-level cordless stick vac model (with 70, 90, and Bespoke levels rounding things out), and the Pet version is the highest 60 version (well, of two, which it just includes more attachments), Overall, the design is pretty much exactly the same.

The only difference is the tube being a bit thinner overall on the new Jet 60 (just the outside, the inside is the same diameter). And the Jet 60 comes with a bit smaller, differently designed motorized brush head (the Jet Fit Brush).

I’m not sure what kind of a difference it makes, but the bristle rows are not angled as much. I do like the smaller design, and it is a bit quieter than the 70’s Turbo Action Brush, but the bristles use seem to get fur and (and my wife’s long) hair entangled around it more quickly (I had to remove and clean it just after the first time using it).

At least the way the roller is removed makes it very easy to get out and remove the fur and hair (slide a little lever on the side and it pops right out). It also comes with several accessories that can be used with or without the main 27″ tube: a long reach crevice tool (that extends another 6.

5″), a combination tool (sliding dusting brush), and a mini motorized tool. The mini motorized tool is still the same design as the older one, which I was hoping would be a little better this time around.

With the way it was designed, the rotating brush really doesn’t come in contact with the surface (it has some plastic guards). While it was eventually able to get most of the embedded cat fur in the cat trees (that they seem to spend a lot of time in), I had to use the Max section mode (more on the modes in a moment).

The motor is similar, but there may be some changes with it as the sound at the differeny suction levels are a little different pitch. At Mid, it sound a little quieter overall, but that may also be attributed to the different, smaller motorized brush head.

The power is still decent enough to get the dust and fur around, but as with most rechargeable vacuums, the higher the power level, the less time you have to run (more or later). There are two suction control buttons, to go between Min, Mid and Max, but there is no display to tell which mode is active.

The removable (which is still a plus) battery is still the same capacity (21. 6V/1. 6Ah) as the older Jet 70 (was hoping it would be at least a little more), and will last for up to 40 minutes, but when only running on Min and probably only hard flooring.

When running on Max and using the mini motorized tool, I found that it only ran for about 7-8 minutes. Mid will probably get about 15-20 minutes or so. Now, you could buy an extra battery to swap out, but for the price, I think waiting to recharge isn’t that bad.

The charging dock is wall-mountable and can keep two accessories attached. When mounted, you can place the whole vacuum head in to charge the battery, or you can remove the battery and charge it by itself (which could be handy if you do not have a place to mount the dock).

If not mounting, the accessory holder flips to the back so the charging dock on a table or counter and still store the two accessories. One thing I was hoping would be a bit better this time was the packaging protection around the motor head, but unfortunately, I was still disappointed.

There was still no protection of all the parts on all sides. Just imagine sitting an object in a bowl and placing it in a box where when the box lid was closed, it is touching the object with no other support around the top.

That is basically how it is (and was) packed. I could see where the dust bin was rubbing against the outer box panel, but luckily it was not damaged more during shipping. While this isn’t quite the one to clean an entire house (unless you live in one of those mini houses you see on TV), if you need a cordless quick vac to do some quick cleaning, this is definitely one to consider.

The Samsung Jet 60 Series is Samsung’s entry level stick vacuum. For an entry level model, it shares the same 5-Layer Filtration system and 0. 8L dust bin capacity found in their higher end models, it attaches the same crevice and combo tool, and it even has a detachable rechargeable battery.

The similarities end here, with the Jet 60 providing up to 40 minutes of runtime between charges with a smaller battery, paired with a 150W suction motor. That being said, we find ourselves using this much more often than what we currently have at home because of one subtle but huge difference: it’s super lightweight.

Weighing in at a tad over 5 pounds, using the Jet 60 is one of the most effortless vacuums to use around the home. Moreover, the Slim Turbo Action Brush is an all-purpose motorized lightweight head attachment that can transition from hard floor to carpet and back without the need to swap out heads.

My current vacuum has both the soft roller brush head and the carpet brush head, but I do have to swap them out when appropriate; the Slim Turbo Action Brush is both of those things, and it works great overall.

And yes, it is very slim enough to get under couches and hard to reach places. The Jet 60 Pet variant comes with the Mini Motorized Tool to help remove fine dust and pet hair on furniture, typically where I find my cats hanging out.

It has little issues clumping and removing my cat’s dander as there is lint remover material alongside the roller brush to further help the removal of unwanted dander stuck onto furniture. The Jet 60 is not bright and fancy; it doesn’t tell you what speed setting you’re on, it doesn’t tell you how much runtime you have left…it doesn’t tell you anything, to be honest.

The only indicator you have is the 3 blue led lights on the battery itself that tell you how much battery life is left. And quite frankly, that’s okay. After using the vacuum for some time, you’ll know how much runtime you’ll have to clean your entire home relative to what power level you use.

Charging the Jet 60 requires that you wall mount its base to your wall, high enough for the wand to clear the floor. I for one am not a big fan of wall mounting my vacuum to the wall, so for now I remove the battery from the main unit and attach the charge base.

If you’re not a wall mount vacuum kind of person, then this vacuum is probably not for you. The Jet 60 is one of the louder stick vacs that I own at home, especially at max settings. It’s not obnoxiously loud, but it has that higher whistling sound overall.

My home is mostly hard floors accented with low pile area rugs, and this vacuum really has no problems cleaning these areas daily. But with those folks with high pile rugs, I can see this vacuum not performing well as you probably need stronger suction.

The Jet 60 does have a max suction setting, but you’re not going to break 10 minutes of runtime at this setting. I would think any stick vacuum would underperform more often than not in these situations and a plug-in vacuum would be best.

So if you’re like me and have a similar home setup, then I recommend you give the Jet 60 Pet a try.

Samsung – Jet™ 60 Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum review is mixed for me. It came in a nice sturdy box and was packaged pretty well except the main unit should have been protected by Styrofoam or bubble wrap to protect it instead of thin wrap.

The 4 accessory pieces were all individually packaged in plastic bags protected under cardboard. So let’s start with the instructions – how do you use this, charge the battery, mount the charger, put it all together… well that part for me was not good at all – a picture guide that was difficult to follow.

Thankfully there are a few QR codes and verbiage following the picture guides – should have put the verbiage and QR codes first, and the picture guide within or following – backwards if you ask me. Anyway, I figured it all out while grumbling and using a few of the QR short videos to get started.

You have to charge the battery about 2 hrs for a full charge, and then it only lasts between 20-40 minutes. You can use the wall mount piece and fold the attachment holder to make a flat surface to charge the battery, or you can actually mount that piece to the wall and charge from there.

Which leads me to this…. The wall mount option is nice only if you actually have a place on wall with an electrical outlet near the area! I don’t so that is not going to work for me, and I like to stand my vacuums up in my utility closet – that is not happening with this vacuum because it doesn’t actually stand on its own! That is a big CON for me with any vacuum – it needs to stand on its own! The Dustbin and filters are easy enough to disassemble to clean, however they are small – as this is a smaller cordless vacuum.

It fills up quickly with cat hair when vacuuming our family room and is more difficult to use in this room as there is a higher pile carpet here. The bedrooms have a low pile so it is easier to maneuver there, as it is on the bare floor areas.

So, this is a small lightweight cordless vacuum that is good for smaller areas – for a backup cordless or corded vacuum. It is not as good as another branded cordless vacuum that I own and love, and the price is higher than others on the market that I think are much better.

I would ONLY recommend it to someone who doesn’t care about price point but wanted a vacuum that can be hung on a mount in a laundry room and mainly used for smaller areas. This is not something I feel would be a great “main” vacuum.

I just purchased the Dyson Ball Animal 2 and couldn’t wait to try it. The good: The suction power is GREAT. You’ll get more pet hair, dirt and dust out of your carpets and bare floors than you could ever imagine existed.

It was also fairly easy to assemble. The hose and wand connection are pretty innovative. The bad: It feels rather clunky, the stand-up feature takes a few times for it to click into position. The wand handle doesn’t seem like it’s made with a durable material, more like plastic that could break easily and somewhat awkward to click in place.

The ugly – The hose on the vacuum, designed to be used with smaller attachments is very stiff and it’s really hard to use. It takes some muscle to expand, and no sooner than you’ve pulled on it, it recoils leaving you with a very short hose, rendering it very difficult to use for cleaning crevices or other areas that would require an attachment.

It reminds me of a T-Rex with small arms that can’t do much! It seems this is a common problem, and perhaps the hose needs to be “broken in”, some reviews state that this is can be permanent in some cases and never correct itself after years of use.

This is a big fail, from a company that prides themselves in technology and innovation. For what I paid, I expected this to exceed expectations, but I’m underwhelmed and frustrated and can’t give it 5 stars.

I’m still hoping that with more use, the hose will loosen up and serve its purpose. With 30 days to return, the clock is ticking.

Ok, we got ours today, unboxing and assembly were super easy. We have a good cordless but with a border collie and two cats in the home something more powerful was needed as well. Right out of the box this vacuum made us very happy! It is much quieter than we expected, and has A TON of suction! I started out on a floor that i had gone over with the cordless earlier in the day, and the bissell was immediately grabbing hair and dirt I could not see.

as I moved around into a different room I could actually see pet hair coming across the floor towards the towards the vac head! The biggest and most pleasant surprise came when I used the pet attatchment on one of the sofas.

in the past bought “pet” vacuums, but none of the pet heads ever worked. the pet head that comes with this vacuum worked very, very well. You have to let it spin up, and then use it should go without saying that you have to use it with short pulls and thus allow it too stay spooled up, and holy cow did it ever work great! did two couches with it in a very short period of time, and I was pleasantly surprised upon inspection that not one bit of hair was would around the roller! there was a ton of that pet hair in the bin though! The bin is super easy to remove and dump, the rewind works exactly as it should, the function buttons are easy to see and use, the edge cleaning capability is better that I have ever seen before in a vac, the unit is light, easy to move around, and has a generous amount of cord.

Now to be fair, this is a day one review, but I have to say I have seen a few negative reviews, (very few) that just don’t add up based on what I’ve seen today. first off, its not a small cordless, and therefore it does not have a tiny low profile beater head.

but overall its low enough to get under most cabinet fronts, (at least at the edge) and coupled with the excellent edge suction thats pretty good. Overall this is a great buy for the price!.

I do not have a pet, I purchased this a couple of months ago because it claimed to have excellent suction. I learned the suction is really no better than any other vaccum I have owned. I also not impressed with the tools that came with it.

The wand extends to twice its length, which is a great idea, but it is hard to lock it in place and it collapses while using it. The brush that came with it is a pivoting dusting tool, bascially a two piece dusting brush that has a joint, its not a thick brush, as the brush is only on the outside rim of the tool which easily comes apart from the nozzle itself, and is really not good for anything other than high usage such as a ceing fan.

It also includes a crevice tool, and a pet turbo tool. As I said, I do not have a pet. When I first expressed my opinion about the tools I was offered a free dust brush and an upholstery brush. It took over a month to receive the free brushes, the upholstery brush was odd, with a hard detachable part, and felt around the edge of the tool itself.

It went in the trash. The dusting tool was exactly like one I had pruchased on line, for a few dollars. the brush part is very thin, again the brush only goes around the edge of the tool. The dusting brush also not a vry good tool.

When I looked on line to see the cost of the tools, I could not find upholstery brush. I guess the tools don’t sell very well so they used them as giveaways to make me feel better about the purchase.

Overall the vacuum itself works well, has good suction and does what it was designed to do. Does it work well for pet hair, I don’t know, but I don’t see why not. MY suggestion is for Hoover to go back to the drawing board, and make brushes that will actually do a good job, and don’t give away something that is not salable.

I recommed the vaccum, but find another source for the brushes.

Purchased this vacuum because my girlfriend and I shed as much an animal and it leaves space for pet hair in the future; and it was in sale, plus decision fatigue from all those “top vacuums of 2022” websites.

I’ve used it for about a month now It is exactly what I was looking for after weeks of looking at different comparisons and website. It has powerful suction, great for hair (and pet hair) hose and attachments for hard to reach places, can turn the dial and go from hardwood to carpet easily.

If you’re sensitive to noise, it is loud; but it’s a powerful vacuum so that is to be expected. It’s sturdy and does not feel cheap. The extended wand for hard to reach places is hidden on the additional arm attachment so don’t worry.

The instruction are great for telling you how to clean it and there is even a suction pressure dial that indicates when you should clean the filters so that’s handy. For the style of vacuum it can reach pretty far using the main suction (meaning it can be lowered pretty close to the floor while still maintaining suction) but don’t expect miracles.

It manoeuvres like you’d expect from a vacuum if this type but really easy to push around. The suction is so strong that when you use the wand attachment the hose “shrinks” under the pressure so you have to fight that and keep the vacuum in place or it will roll towards you.

Zero complaints about it. I love it and it’s serving me well so far.

Somehow it slipped my mind when I ordered this. If you intend to use the attachments or vacuum hard floors with this vacuum then purchase something else. Why? when using the attachments or vacuuming hard floors you can not turn off the carpet roller brush.

Completely unacceptable and this is not unique to Hoover, you need to be careful when purchasing any upright vacuums though more expensive ones most likely will have the feature and even some less expensive ones will too.

I was being careful as Hoover does make a model that I am going to buy someplace else just like this one in the same price range with a carpet roller brush turn off lever. Im really disappointed in Hoover, they have a great product, nice long hose (really important to me) ok attachments at this price, even rubber coated wheels instead of hard plastic but I guess the competition to keep price low compared to the other manufacturers are having them leave off this needed brush turn off.

Its really silly trying to use the all thoughtful attachments with nice long hose only to have the carpet brush roll spinning like crazy in one place on your hardwood floors ( I was cringing when this was happening) and if not on the hardwood try using the attachments on carpet and the vacuum will start walking on its own while you use the attachments.

Product = Fail.
