Roombas are noisy in operation, which is easy to forgive, but turn the power down a few notches on the Proscenic and it’s very unobtrusive. I love the fact it has a handheld remote, but I’ve not actually used it, largely because, like all the robots I’ve tested, it links up to smart speakers. In terms of performance, I’d have to say it comes close to a Roomba, but it’s not quite as good. It does have something called Twin-Turbine technology, but the Roomba range has a trick silicone beater and slightly better battery life.

If you own furry pets, for example, you’ll need a vacuum that specializes in lifting pet hair from carpets. And a lightweight vacuum won’t do the trick for your car or tougher surfaces like garages; in this case, look for utility and car-specific vacuums. It is easy to assemble and only around an hour to charge – with the blue lights shark cordless on the vacuum telling us when it was ready to go. As a whole it’s great for gliding round the house, picking up hair and dirt without too much effort. The light on the base of the hoover that highlights dust on wooden floor and dirt on carpets. This powerful yet lightweight cordless vacuum is always ready for a quick cleanup.
The floorhead attachment is enhanced with Shark’s exclusive Anti Hair Wrap Technology, actively removing hair from the brush-roll as you clean and helping to keep it tangle-free. Despite its inexpensive price tag, it also picks up pet hair very well. However, the Navigator’s lower price point does mean that it might not last as long as other options from Shark and will likely have to be replaced over time. The Shark Navigator is a lightweight, upright cordless vacuum that comes in at a very reasonable cost. Shark provides different limited warranties ranging from one year to lifetime.
You can make use of a duster crevice tool and multi-surface pet tool, both of which store neatly on the charging dock when not in use. Ultimately, our tester only docked the WANDVAC for its charge time and noise level, giving both attributes a rating of 4 stars. Fans of Shark swear by this DuoClean technology because it provides powerful suction and makes switching between hardwood floors and carpets as easy as the press of a button.
However, Shark doesn’t share their testing protocols, so it’s hard to say how much rigorous testing Shark vacuums undergo before heading to market. The Shark Rocket Pet Pro and the ION P50 both offer Shark’s Anti-Allergen Complete Seal Technology, which means it traps dust and allergens inside the vacuum. These vacuums also come with a HEPA filter, which has the ability to catch up to 99.97% of dust and other airborne particles. This makes life easier for those with allergies or upper-respiratory conditions. If you are allergic to dust, animal hair, or have asthma, vacuuming can be incredibly challenging. Vacuums without anti-allergen filters can blow sneeze-inducing dust and particles right back into the room you’ve just cleaned.
