Reviews
Upright Pet Hair Challenge... With A Twist!
What We Loved
- Airflow (CFM)
in both their airflow tests they scored very high meaning they exceeded the capacity of our airflow gauge and that also means they had a wind speed of over 100 miles an hour - Build quality & durability
the Plastics are pretty solid I like the way they're both built - Cleaning performance on carpet
the Bissell picked up 93 - Dust-bin capacity
I think the canister is big enough on the Bissell - Hair-wrap prevention / anti-tangle tech
it actually did a much better job on pet hair on the condos than the sharks - LED crevice tool
the Bissell does have an LED crevice tool which I haven't seen in too many vacuums before - Power-cord length & auto-retract (corded)
it is self-retractable which you don't find normally in upright vacuum - Price
at about the same price point I think these are both pretty good vacuums - Upholstery tool performance
the head kept rotating it didn't stop like it did with the shark and it actually seemed to be pretty anti-tangle
Just Okay
- Airflow at head
the Bissell scored 21.5 meters per second - Attachment variety & compatibility
they both have some pretty standard attachments including a pet hair tool - Dust-bin emptying
emptying is pretty similar they both have a release lever on the body the only difference is with the shark you have two of those one on top and one on bottom - Suction power (air watts)
20 kPa on the Bissell
Needs Improvement
- Allergen-containment seal
it's kind of like a chimney it's just like shooting out of there like a waterfall of smoke - Cleaning performance on hard floors
the Bissell tends to kick things back a bit it threw a lot of sand back here at kind of high speed - Ease of use
the wand is not detachable like the Shark Rotator where you could put any attachment on the end up here you actually have to use the whole wand no matter what - Under-furniture clearance
it doesn't have this feature and its fat body sort of gets stuck
Top Upright Vacuums
What We Loved
- Airflow (CFM)
airflow topped 100 mph, beyond meter - Cleaning performance on carpet
picked up 96 % on carpet - Dust-bin emptying
empties with a single button press - Edge-cleaning effectiveness
head design grabs dirt along edges - LED headlights brightness / usefulness
LED headlight keeps monsters at bay - Maneuverability & swivel steering
swivels easily around corners - Pet-hair pickup efficiency
pet hair tool very effective on kitty condos - Power-cord length & auto-retract (corded)
27-ft cord is fully retractable - Suction-power feel (real-world)
logged 20 kPa of suction – strong - Value-for-money
decent buy with caveats in its price band
Just Okay
- Brush-roll agitation strength
brush roll okay but head design could improve - Cleaning performance on hard floors
needed multiple passes on hardwood - Extension-wand reach & adjustability
wand doesn’t come apart – awkward for upholstery
Needs Improvement
- Allergen-containment seal
smoke leaked – poor seal - Filtration quality (HEPA rating, multi-stage)
HEPA setup failed the smoke test - Under-furniture clearance
no Lift-Away; tough to get under beds
