What is best pet vacuum
Best Vacuum For Pet Hair & Allergies TESTS - Dyson vs Shark vs Bissell vs Sebo
welcome to our competition to see which
is the best vacuum cleaner for pet hair
and pet owners in general we put these
vacuums through about 16 tests on things
that are important for pet owners like
pet hair pickup deep cleaning and
filtration and gave them scores based on
the results we have a lot to do so links
in the description for current prices
and our individual reviews on each
vacuum and let's get started first a
little about our competitors and why I
chose them we have the Kenmore Elite
which we chose because of its really
high rating on Consumer Reports the SIBO
Felix one which is the most expensive
vacuum in this competition and the
darling of mini vacuum enthusiasts the
sharp rotator true pet which shows up on
many lists of best vacuums for pets
the Bissell pet hair eraser which
bissell says they engineered for homes
with pets and has a special brush that
resists pet hair tangles of all the
shark duo claims we chose the new shark
apex zero M because it's currently the
only shark dual clean with zero m
technology which like the Bissell
prevents pet hair tangles on the brush
and finally we have two Dyson's the
dyson multi-floor 2 and the Dyson v10
absolute cordless vacuum which is one
our best cordless vacuum competition and
is the only cordless vacuum that cleans
good enough and has a long enough
battery life to compete at this level so
let's start with the power here we
measured suction as well as air flow at
the hose and at the cleaner head we then
added the numbers and found that the
Kenmore Elite is leading with pretty
much a three-way tie for second place
with pick up tests we tested all types
of debris from fine debris like sand to
medium and even extra-large debris but
with an emphasis on pet hair pick up on
both hard floors and carpet here the big
winners were the shark apex and the
Dyson v10 absolute in part because of
their amazing hard floor performance
with their soft rollers but the apex is
basically unparalleled with both hard
floor and carpet pick up some quick
points on the losers in this area the
dyson multi floor 2 was not good at all
on hard floors with pet hair or other
debris and the bissell was only decent
with pickup and it also has a pretty
major blind spot due to the belt beam
near the middle of the roller the carpet
deep clean test where we rub sand deep
into the carpet is done on a pretty
thick medium pile carpet so it's
actually two tests in one when we tested
cordless vacuums the v10 was the only
one to get a perfect 100 in this test
and I rubbed the sand even
/ in this test but even so there were
four perfect scores with the apex
getting 98 the CBO Felix and Kenmore
were the only ones with a slightly lower
score here at 92 and 90's far as thick
carpet performance the main loser was
the Dyson multi-floor - which was
incredibly difficult to push on thicker
carpets and it stalled out several times
the shark true pet also stalled out a
few times on thick carpets but at least
with the shark it has a switch which
reduces the suction for thick carpets
and when we tested it with its thick
carpet settings selected it ran
perfectly all the others passed this
test with no issues so here are the
results for these two tests two other
tests that are important for pet owners
is the filtration and the attachment set
with the filtration that kenmore elite
shark apex Dyson v10 and shark true pet
all had sealed systems with hepa filters
and passed our test with a perfect score
the SIBO and Bissell have sealed systems
but not HEPA filters and the Dyson
uprights have never really done well
with this test presumably because of a
bad design around the seal of the hepa
filter so here are the filtration
results with the attachments the shark
troupe had Envy 752 and the Dyson v10
came out on top with among other useful
tools for pet owners they have a really
cool motorized brush included in the
base model they work well on upholstery
or stairs the apex has one of these
motorized tools available as an optional
upgrade but doesn't come with a base
model some of the others come with
similar tools only suction powered
instead of independent motors like the
Bissell and the Kenmore though the
Kenmore tool was really prone to clogs
and like the apex the dyson multi floor
tube base package has an optional
suction based tool sold separately with
the weight ease-of-use and
maneuverability tests vacuums like the
Kenmore Elite lost big as its incredibly
heavy and not maneuverable at all the
Bissell also lost ground here for being
just plain hard to use the Sharks picked
up points here for having the lift away
mode for suction based tasks and the
powered lift away mode for lightweight
vacuuming and getting under
hard-to-reach places the v10 also got a
lot of points here for being both
maneuverable and very lightweight we
also found that the anti-tangle
technology of the shark apex 0m and the
bissell pet hair eraser really did work
they didn't get any pet hair wrapped
around the brushroll during all of our
tests and they got 30 points each for
this really helpful feature there were
many other things we factored in like
crevice pickup test cord length and of
course the current list prices were they
all got points inversely proportional to
their costs we added it all up and here
are the results
the shark apex 0m with dual clean one
with the shark true pet and the Dyson
beat an absolute coming in right behind
it I should say that some of these
vacuums are pretty pricey so along with
the other links to our individual video
reviews and prices in the description I
will also include a short list of our
favorite more budget-friendly vacuums
