While the Shark comes with a regular crevice tool, the Bissell’s Turboeraser has a spinning brush head with bristles that pull hair off upholstery and stairs. One standout feature of the Bissell is the Pet Turboeraser tool from which it gets its name. The wand and base both detach with the touch of a button, and you can change from low carpet to plush carpet with a lever that’s conveniently positioned on the thumb portion of the handle. The Bissell has a swivel head that makes it easy to maneuver and a detachable pod that lets you drop the base and more easily vacuum stairs and out-of-reach places. It features a similar lift-off motor unit that makes using it on upholstery and other above-the-floor objects easier. It was comparable to the Shark in almost every way: ease of use, design, ease and cleanliness of emptying and suction power/performance. Similar in design to the Shark Rotator, the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Lift-Off Upright Vacuum lives up to its name in its ability to pick up cat and dog hair. We would have also loved a retractable cord, but none of the units we tested had one, so we can’t hold that against the Shark.īest upright vacuum for pet hair: Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Lift-Off Upright Vacuum It looked a bit outdated when compared to other models. Though not a deal breaker, we didn’t love the red and white color scheme. The only real flaw we found was when the dustbin was off, the vacuum itself sometimes toppled backward given the uneven weight distribution, landing hard on the floor a couple of times before we got the hang of better positioning it. But, because this vacuum has three filters, there was no dust or blowback when emptying the machine. The design itself was similar to the other bagless models on this list, with a latch on the bottom that opens to release everything into the trash can. The Shark’s XL dustbin allowed for continuous cleaning - we were able to get through the entire house and then some without stopping to empty it - and it was simple to detach and empty. Both the main brush head and the attachments picked up pet fur in one pass on all types of floors, and the main brush head made easy work of pulling cat litter out of high-pile carpet.

While not as handy on carpet (since dirt and debris sink in instead of lying on the surface), the headlights helped illuminate missed spots on the wood and vinyl flooring.Īs far as suction power and performance go, the Shark Rotator Professional Lift-Away NV501 got high marks across the board.
It also has headlights, a useful feature when vacuuming on hard floors. They also firmly clip into their respective holders so they don’t fall out when you’re moving around or accidentally bump into something.
They’re easy to grab and remove, and they don’t get in the way when you’re utilizing other features. The tube has a nice amount of stretch to it, which made it easier to get into harder-to-reach areas without having to keep moving the vacuum.Īn extra bonus was how neatly the attachments fit onto the machine. The attachments fit onto the end of the handle, so you can use them when the vacuum is intact or when you’re taking advantage of the lift-off feature.
The Shark Rotator comes with an upholstery tool, a dusting brush and a crevice tool, which all worked well. Next to the canister release lies another button that releases the wand, so in just two moves the lift-off pod is off and ready to go. The canister easily comes off the vacuum base with the push of a large button, so when we needed to vacuum the stairs or extend into the corners of the ceiling, we could detach the pod and carry it independently. It also has a large padded handle that was especially helpful when utilizing the lift-off feature, which lets you remove the motor unit to use as a sort of miniature canister vacuum with upholstery and other above-the-floor accessories. It weighs 15.8 pounds, which doesn’t sound especially light, but compared to the others it was easy to pick up and move around.
It was one of the easiest vacuum cleaners to maneuver, thanks to its swivel head and fairly light weight. The Shark Rotator Professional Lift-Away NV501 was a standout in all of our testing. Your CNN account Log in to your CNN account
