This hand vac weighs just over 1kg, and is more powerful than its cheaper brother – great if you’re hoping to clean up after the kids or pets quickly and efficiently. The Removable Li-Ion battery charges in just under two hours and gave us around 40 mins of cleaning time – enough to do the whole house. The LED lights on the front also warned us if the battery was low. The attachments were handy too – especially the brush tool that simply clicked on and came off at the push of a button when you needed to clean cushions and upholstery. No matter how big your home, a handheld vacuum will always come in handy.
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.
Anti Hair Wrap Technology actively separates and removes long, short and pet hair from the brush-roll as you clean. This may not be a popular piece of advice, but we want you to vacuum your house more slowly. Yes, this will take longer, but the results will be so much better. Because the more slowly you move your cleaner’s head through your carpet, the more opportunity the powered brush inside it will have to rake out dust, allergens, dropped foods and other foulness. Vigorously and rapidly assaulting your floors is a complete waste of effort – just let the brush and the suction of your vac do it for you. Just take a small area at a time, gently move your vac backwards and forwards and your carpets will come up so much better.

Mr. Wonderful claims that a conventional cooler can be obtained dollars cheaper elsewhere, but the nickel battery adds $191 to the overall production cost. Products from Sam’s Club and Walmart were used to test the product in 2015. Some battery packs come with charging cords, which are included in some variants.
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.
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.
It also delivers superior performance on bare floors and low-pile carpet. Conversely, the Shark is better built and offers better overall battery performance. If you have your bissell crosswave cordless eye on a stick vacuum, you may be disappointed with the Lupe Pure vacuum cleaner. It’s as powerful as any stick and its weight distribution may make it easier to use for some.
This sleek and light model comes with a comfortable grip that meant it was easy to pick up and put down whenever you need to use it. It was so sleek that we even kept it out on show, back on the charging base, ready for the next use. Some of the devices are complete with LED lights, to alert you when it’s low on juice. You won’t need to fully charge them all the time, and if you need them for a quick spillage even just one bar of battery is likely to get the job done.
