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. Overall, we found Shark vacuums irobot vacuum cleaner to be well within the normal volume range for a vacuum cleaner. In fact, if any of these vacuums is making an excessive amount of noise, it probably means that you should get it looked at.
This vacuum uses the brand’s ‘Lift-Away’ design, which lets you pick up and carry its canister body separately from its floorhead, making it easier to clean tight spots. While its range is limited compared to cordless models, the power cord is pretty long, meaning you can clean larger areas without swapping outlets. This vacuum is also equipped with an allergen-trapping HEPA filter and is fairly effective in sealing in fine particles as you clean. Like many other Shark vacuums, the manufacturer advertises its brushroll as being self-cleaning. However, long hair still tends to get caught in the floorhead, and since this brushroll isn’t designed for removal, it can be hard to clean.
Instead, you just hit a button, and the settings change for you. DuoClean also makes it easy to clean up large and small particles — even fine dust. Unfortunately, this vacuum’s battery life of little over 10 minutes isn’t especially noteworthy, even by the standards of other cordless stick vacuums, and you’ll need to work fast when cleaning bigger messes.
The Shark Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum features deep-cleaning suction making it ideal for homes with pets. Nozzle technology includes a self-cleaning brush roll and powerfins engineered to pick up more hair with no hair wrap (vs. Shark bristle nozzles). Its ultra-lightweight design and removable handheld vacuum add to its cordless convenience for floor-to-ceiling cleaning.
It’s important to note that its brushroll isn’t removable either, making it a hassle to clear away any tangled pet hair. The Shark Rotator Lift-Away ADV is a great choice if you’re looking for a Shark vacuum that’s a little more affordable and among the best Shark vacuums for pet hair that we’ve tested. Its dual-brushroll head helps it clear away debris on a wide range of surfaces, from bare floors to low and high-pile carpet, and it’s pretty effective in dealing with messes in shallow cracks and crevices.
However, it’s worth noting that this robot vacuum doesn’t have a surface detection system that would allow it to change its suction power mode automatically. If you want to adjust its cleaning mode, you manually select it through its companion app for every cleaning job. There’s no onboard HEPA filter either, which isn’t the best option if you’re sensitive to fine allergens. Detach the lightweight hand vacuum in seconds and take on dust, pet hair, and more above the floor. The high power mode provides mighty suction power, although it can decrease the battery’s life.
With the F80 model, Shark has created one of the best batteries that we’ve seen. This vacuum comes with two batteries, which allows this vacuum to last up to 80 minutes. Removes pet hair and long hair from the brushroll—no more hair wrap. Not to be dramatic, but Shark’s bissell crosswave cordless cordless vacuum has changed my life. Vacuuming isn’t something I enjoy but it’s a necessity – especially when you have a toddler and a pair of particularly hairy cats running amok, as I do. Despite its inexpensive price tag, it also picks up pet hair very well.
However, we do tend to prefer the Shark ION F80 because of its impressive battery life. However, it’s worth noting that it isn’t as well-suited to cleaning large areas as corded models, as it can only run for a maximum of about 40 minutes when used in its traditional upright configuration. If you aren’t entirely sold on the vacuum’s cordless design and prefer using a corded vacuum for longer cleaning sessions, the Shark APEX UpLight is a fantastic alternative.
The LED headlights are a genius addition, allowing you to clearly see – and clean up – each bit of dirt in dark corners.

In terms of noise, this vacuum is relatively bissell crosswave cordless quiet but produces a high frequency sound, which makes it seem louder than it actually is. Therefore, they should not be used by those who have a strong sensitivity to dust, allergies, or any upper-respiratory issues like asthma. Corded Shark vacuums usually require manually winding the electrical cord for storage instead of automatically storing it away.
