We found that the greatest strength of the Shark Navigator DLX is also its weakness. While the powerful suction made it faster and easier to remove debris, it also increased the effort we had to put shark cordless forth to use the vacuum on the medium and high-pile carpets. Even still, our tester gives this Navigator model a 4.5-star rating for maneuverability and comments positively on the swivel steering.
Don’t expect it to be as light or nimble as a stick vacuum, but know you’ll be pleased with its maneuverability and effectiveness. In our testing, it impressed our tester with how easy it was to push across hardwood floors and carpets of all pile heights. They only docked it for its bulkier design, which made it difficult to reach under lower furniture, and poor transfer from a bissell crosswave cordless flat surface to a rugged one. (They ultimately gave it 3 stars for maneuverability for these reasons.) In terms of effectiveness, it captured all the materials in fewer than five passes and was pretty straightforward. When we tested vacuum cleaners, we put them through a rigorous series of floor-care tests on hardwood floor and other bare floor types, carpet and other surfaces.
Like other Shark vacuums, this one is designed with powerful suction to handle the toughest messes in your home. This cordless 25.2V Li-ion Shark stick vacuum has a replaceable battery. It converts to hand mode and comes with a crevice tool, pet hair multi-tool and multi-angle dusting brush.
It’s very similar in design to the Shark Anti-Allergen Pet Power but uses a smaller capacity battery and a slightly more limited set of attachments. Otherwise, it shares many of the same features as other models in the lineup, with a self-cleaning brushroll, a high-capacity dustbin, and HEPA filtration. As the second-best performer in our current test group, the Tineco A11 Hero represents an outstanding deal. So much so that it has officially bumped the Shark Rocket Pet Pro Cordless out of our top pick for best midrange cordless vacuum. With an average 72.5% sand pickup from midpile carpeting, and 82.5% sand removal from low-pile carpet, the Hero performs better.
The Shark Pet cordless stick vacuum is currently seeing an early Black Friday discount, with its price currently down to just $144. This is a savings of $115 from its regular price of $259, so act quickly to claim this discount before inventory clears out. An on/off switch for the rotating brush lets you stop the brush from rotating when using tools or cleaning bare floors. This helps eliminate scattered dirt on bare floors and reduces the risk of injury if the vacuum tips over during use.
Otherwise, this is a great vacuum cleaner and I highly recommend it. The Dyson Cyclone V10 is better than the Shark Cordless Pet Plus for most uses. The Dyson weighs considerably less, is easier to maneuver, lasts longer on a charge, has a removable brushroll that’s easy to clean, and comes with a wider array of attachments.
Our testing team loved this feature and found the dust bin to be super easy to empty. One company, in particular, saw this cordless trend coming. Rivals have since followed suit and now sell cordless vacuums of their own. Some manufacturers of cordless vacuum cleaners have even shamelessly cloned Dyson products.
Others are distinctive new riffs on the cordless vacuum, with innovative dust-busting features all their own. Vacuuming isn’t easy, and lugging a traditional corded vacuum between outlets makes it even harder than it has to be. Cordless stick vacuums, on the other hand, are lightweight and maneuverable — without sacrificing the cleaning power of a corded model.
The average slipped further across midpile carpet, though it remained at a respectable 52%. This report lists the ratio of dirt collected by particle size. Other than that, and a battery that’s easier to remove, the D15’s bagless vacuum design remains much the same. That’s a good thing, since we found both models’ dustbins easy to empty. Say hello to the best Dyson cordless vacuum, the $750 Dyson V15.
