The 8 Best Shark Vacuums of 2022

Plus, the Vertex series from Shark includes dual rollers in the floor head and one is equipped with grippy rubber fins to maintain contact with the floor. While making use of the 60-minute battery life, which is significant compared to many other cordless models, you can feel this technology working. Our tester noted the vac essentially pulls itself, and called it “flawless” before giving it a 5-star rating for maneuverability. The bissell crosswave cordless Pet Plus has poor real-world suction performance. Its suction inlet is positioned too high off the ground to generate a tight seal with the contact surface.

Just make sure you place the unit inside a plastic bag, so it’s less messy. Turning the unit to handheld is simple and worked nicely as well. I was able to vacuum the entire home (about 1,200 sq. feet) in about 30 min. and the unit was still fully charged. The only negative is that it cannot stand on its own, so it has to lay flat on the floor. I initially had it standing up but it kept falling because it’s top heavy.

It uses the same 1900 mAh battery as the Shark Rocket Pet Pro with Multiflex IZ163H, rather than the higher capacity 2450 mAh pack found on the Shark Anti-Allergen Pet Power. It yields a shorter max runtime of about 40 minutes when used in its bare floor mode with no attachments, compared to the latter’s max runtime of almost an hour, but it does recharge a lot faster. Using it in its ‘MAX’ power mode drains its battery in about 15 minutes, making it best-suited for quick clean-ups. You can keep tabs on the remaining runtime via the trio of LED indicator lights on the battery, which turn off one by one as the charge level decreases. The Tineco PWRHERO 11 is better than the Pet Plus.

It also exerts a stronger suction force through its floorhead and does a better job of clearing away debris on carpeted floors. However, the Shark feels sturdier and has a larger dustbin.

As with all Shark vacuums, it has LED headlights on the beater assembly which are actually a great help in cleaning. What it’s not, in my opinion, is a whole-house upright vacuum. The run time is listed as up to 40 minutes, but that’s without the powered beater head. Battery time drops to 20 minutes in that mode, and down to 10 minutes with the turbo switch activated.

As the company’s flagship cordless vacuum, the V15 has a sky-high price to match. Like its predecessor the V11, the V15 ripped through our suite of vacuum cleaner tests with ruthless competence. We bought a Dyson V11 outsize we purchased in October 2020.
