Bissell Featherweight 2033 vs Shark AI Ultra Robot

Of all the vacuums we've tested, the BISSELL Featherweight Stick 2033 is the best lightweight vacuum cleaner for elderly users since it places such little weight in the hand while in use. This corded upright feels incredibly lightweight, making it easy to maneuver even in tight, cluttered spaces. It has a simple bagless design that's very easy to maintain and incurs virtually no recurring costs.

Before this, with the exception of the vac mop pro ai used v-slam, which means a top-mounted camera to navigate around - and this is the first one to ...

Its simple design also makes it easy to maintain, as the few parts that need regular cleaning are very easy to access. As long as you clean its dust cup filter and pre-motor mesh filter regularly, you shouldn't need to worry about recurring costs.

And that's it. I'm not trying to get this thing to launch into orbit. When I downloaded the app, it could not vacuum our house without first doing a "room mapping". Why?

Also, this vacuum has a very short power cord, so you might need to swap outlets when cleaning larger rooms. In addition, parts of its all-plastic construction are somewhat flimsy, especially its wheels, dustbin cover, and main handle, which feels like it could snap if too much pressure is applied. Still, the vacuum's portable design, impressive ease of maintenance, and affordable price help make it one of the best cheap vacuum cleaners we've tested.

If I move it to a shared hall to clean (I try to do several halls once per week), its battery dies WAY faster than the old models did, so I can't just pass by and move it to different spots between other chores like I did with the old one - if I have to stand guard over the vacuum, what is the point of not just sweeping it myself? If I do one area, this model is usually dead before I get it to a second one. I used to be able to do them all with the same time between moving with an old model.

. except they don't do as good on baseboards as robot vacs with the spinning brush sticking out do. The outside edge suction isn't that great but they get everything that matters

I have mixed feelings about this robot, who we named Hank (you are supposed to name him for the app). I find him to be quieter than a regular vacuum, and the suction in normal mode is very good. Our carpets and hardwood floors get very clean. However, he seems to suffer from some form of dementia

I'm always amazed at what I empty out of the little canister & what washes off the filter. GREAT suction, very efficient, stands right behind my door & no one knows it's there.😉

- When cleaning the filter on the vac, there is a ledge/overlay that massively gets full of debris (in my case short dog hair). I don't understand the purpose of this overlay but the auto-clean isn't strong enough to clean it out and I need to do it manually.

It does get fur on hardwood, dust, light crumbs, and general dirt things pretty effectively. And it doesn't have this issue when you're using handheld or nozzle mode. Other reviewers are saying that the filter for this isn't made anymore, but I think that is old information. Here are filter replacements for this specific model: https://www

I clean out the filters every few days(takes less than a minute) cause we have a lot of traffic through our house and get a lot tracked in. They definitely need to improve the app. That is keeping this from being 5 stars.

This little stick-vac packs a huge punch for its size and weight. If you have any bare flooring in your home this will tackle it NO problem. It works great on my carpeted stairs, and I have medium pile carpet on them. Everything detaches and attaches with ease, no struggling figuring out how to remove and replace the filter

85 inches tall, it can clean where a lot of other robot vacuums won’t fit. 

This is a great little sweeper and the price fits my budget. Anyone who has a back problem will appreciate that it’s true to its name and is featherlight. It does a very thorough job on my vinyl tile and heavier scatter rugs, as well as my hardwood floor. It is easy to empty and doesn’t take up very much space in my closet

Love that my wife and I can each have the app on our phones. at $450 (500 with 3 year service plan) I got a great deal on this Shark bot during the Black Friday sale, which is why I give it 5-star for value. With three indoor cats, the hair and sand demands are great on this little trooper, and so far it is meeting them pretty well. Sand pick-up is great but not perfect, especially at the edges of throw-rug and up against walls, but it is pretty good, and generally good enough for me

My main complaint is that the motor makes a scary sounding noise when the vacuum is on an uneven surface. If your floors aren’t level like mine, you’re in for a treat!

Cons - This is so loud. It is a vacuum though and i don't use it on the quietest mode. The dock is almost the loudness of a full upright vacuum. You will not be able to place this anywhere you'll be relaxing or taking calls
