Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ vs Black+Decker Flex BDH2020FL

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.

No tools are required for any part of this operation. There is also a disk-shaped “pre-filter” that can be easily removed and cleaned. In addition to quick, perfunctory tapping to clean the filters, they can be washed in warm soapy water and then allowed to air dry before being put back on the vacuum. The body of the vacuum, with the right side removed (along with the motor unit and the battery), is just a big plastic assembly, and it can be rinsed under running water to clean it, but this should normally not be necessary

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

Confused as to all of the 5 star reviews, I gave the vacuum another try. What I found is that vacuum actually works really well when you don't use the brush tip. There is decent suction and I was able to vacuum the sand and dirt specs that were on my carpet and floor mats. The only issue is the design of the brush attachment

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

I decided to get a Bauer tool vacuum from Harbor Freight that uses the same 20V battery packs their cordless drills and other tools use and I couldn't be happier.
