Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ vs Black+Decker dustbuster AdvancedClean+ Pet

The best vacuum for cars with a handheld design that we've tested is the Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+. This handheld vacuum's cordless design enables you to clean all parts of your car's interior, without having to worry about parking close to an electrical outlet. It's also lightweight, enabling you to carry around with little effort, and has a compact size that allows you to clean most parts of your car's interior.

I bought this hand vacuum in December and it was a handy tool for me with two cats in the house. About a month ago, I charged it up as usual and now the speed is on super duper high on the lowest setting. It sounds like the battery is about to explode. I just want it to work! It was affordable but why should I have to buy a replacement within a year?

If you're looking for a vacuum for spot-cleaning many different surface types, a versatile handheld vacuum is a helpful tool, and the Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ is among the best that we've tested. This compact vacuum does a fantastic job of dealing with pet hair and solid debris on flat, even surfaces like countertops, shelves, or hardwood and tile floors. It also delivers superb overall performance on low and high-pile carpets and rugs.

The best test was on my car where the pet hair is really hard to remove and it had no issue removing the matted down dog hair. I also found it worked well on my dogs bed and the carpet on my cat tree. It lasted long enough for me to vacuum my dogs bed, cat tree and entire car so I would call that good battery life. My only complaint is that it does not get in small spaces

Its dense plastic construction feels quite sturdy and is fairly easy to maintain. Since its dust cup filter is the only part that needs regular replacing, recurring costs are low.

Also, it lacks a HEPA filter to trap allergens as you clean, and its plastic pre-filter and main filter need replacing quite frequently.

On the downside, unlike alternatives like the Shark ION W1 WANDVAC, this vacuum doesn't come with a HEPA filter, which is part of the reason it does a terrible job of trapping fine particles and consequently making it a terrible option for those who suffer from serious allergies. Its short battery life of a little over 10 minutes also forces you to work quickly when there are several messes to deal with. Still, if you're looking for a handheld vacuum that can handle messes on a variety of surface types, it's a good option.

Both cords look like what used to come with Casio calculators and any Coleco handheld game in the 80's. Cheap looking, and flimsy, but they do the trick. +Everything sticks to the filter that is at the "core" of the dust bin, so you must pull the filthy lint from it with your fingers. Yuck! +The rotary head has two plastic "fins" or "pegs" that straddle the vac head and serve to support it while is it slid onto the vac

This vacuum's lightweight construction and compact design make it easy to pick up and carry wherever you may need or store it in a cupboard or closet. It has a fairly large dirt compartment for a handheld vacuum, so it doesn't need emptying as often as some alternatives. It feels well-built and has an easy-to-maintain design that incurs few recurring costs. In terms of attachments, a miniature turbo brush is included, though it isn't very effective in removing pet hair from upholstery

I admit that I won't use valuable time to review those purchases/products that are what I call the "In Between Great & Horrible Products", meaning not great, but not horrible. That being said, in the short period I've had this hand vac I am extremely pleased. YOU GO BLACK & DECKER, FOR A JOB MORE THAN WELL DONE!!! First, I love the design of the hand vac over all, it stands very firmly on the end opposite of the handle while charging, or you could lay it down if need be, because there is no bulky cradle used for charging as many other hand vacs have. It's very light to hold and maneuver and feels natural to use (even for someone that has physical limitations or back, hip, shoulder problems such as myself with fibromyalgia, bursitis, si problems, advanced arthritis, and carpal tunnel), as well as how easy it is to use the 2 accessories

The best handheld vacuum cleaner with good suction we've tested is the Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+. This compact vacuum delivers impressive suction performance, which is helpful when cleaning debris in cracks and dealing with stubborn debris. It also delivers remarkable performance on bare floors and does an excellent job cleaning fine and large debris from carpets. It's also easy to maintain and incurs low recurring costs since the only part that needs regular replacing is its dust cup filter

You would likely be able to vacuum two (or maybe) more sets of stairs on one charge if you wanted to, even on high power. I think it has good suction and picks up a lot of dirt, dust, and cat hair with the pet bristles. It's easy to clean and care for, except after dumping the dirt/hair, you do need to clean off the filter to make it efficient for the next use, but that's typical for vacuums. The main problem I have with it is that it is not very ergonomic

First the most important feature, the suction power. It is average. I had a Shark model previously and it lasted 10 years. While the Shark CH951 is lighter weight, it has half the suction of my old one

However, it does have a much longer maximum battery life of nearly half an hour and a larger dustbin that shouldn't need emptying quite as often. It also has an adjustable suction power setting to increase its suction power. It's worth noting that running it continuously in its most potent 'Boost Mode' setting drops its runtime to a little over 10 minutes. It comes with a miniature turbo brush, and you can pull out its built-in suction nozzle to function as a short extension wand/crevice tool
