While the handle could be sturdier—it breaks down into sections for easier storage/shipment, which creates flex points—the tool is easy to store anywhere you already keep a broom or vacuum, or in smaller storage areas if you take it apart.
For the price, it’s also impressive that this model comes with two batteries. That’s particularly useful, because if one battery runs out, you can charge it up while you’re using the other one, giving you twice the cleaning time of a single battery.
The best pet hair removers for a fur-free home
Most impressively, this model boasts Shark’s most advanced anti hair wrap technology to date, removing strands from the rollers as it goes along. Unlike previous Shark models it’s almost 100 per cent effective, and that’s coming from someone with four long-haired cats (and two Labradors).
Our buyer’s guide to the best vacuum cleaners explains the complicated matter of measuring suction, but as a rough guide, look for a 600W motor or higher. And, very importantly, remember to empty the receptacle as regularly as possible: a bag or cyclone cylinder filled to the brim with pet hair will drastically reduce the vacuum’s suction power. As the current owner of two dogs and four cats and several predecessors, the carpets in my house aren’t necessarily as dazzling white as they could be. I didn’t expect the carpet cleaner to make too much of a difference. How wrong I was.verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ First things first: You want to have a carpet that’s best suited to having pets. Some types are simply better for this due to durability, as if your pet is prone to running about then you want to prevent your carpets from being worn down. There are other factors too, such as how to get the dog hair out of the carpet – though this can be dog, cat, rabbit, or any other pet hair too! Plus, with the potential for accidents to happen, you want something that can be cleaned easily and doesn’t stain.
Giving your pet nutritious food will also help them develop a healthy coat, so switching to the right food will do wonders for your companion. Whichever broom you decide on should be easy to set up before use. Some brooms have extendable handles that are perfect for anyone that may struggle with mobility. The head should attach easily to the handle without the worry of it falling off mid-sweep. Storage The key features to look for, then, are the weave, the material and the colour of the carpet. When it comes to weaves, having shorter threads or a cut pile carpet can help immensely. The California Dreams Carpet, for instance, would fit the bill. Longer, more plush carpets are super comfortable but much harder to hoover up hair from and take a lot more scrubbing to get clean if something gets on it. Whether it be number 1 or 2, you want to spend as little time as possible getting it out of the carpet and out of your mind. For pet-related cleaning on carpet and hard floor, the powered floor head comes with both a brush bar and a fluffy roller. This makes it equally effective on both surfaces, without requiring you to swap the floor head when you change between surfaces. I have a few small gripes with the carpet cleaner. Firstly, it leaked dirty water if I left it stood upright for a few minutes (though this was easy to clean up). Secondly, despite repeated passes, some stains were too deep-rooted to lift - although the SpinScrub hand tool attachment was the most effective. It didn’t struggle with the more recent stains, so I suppose I shouldn’t expect miracles. Thirdly, I found if I sprayed too much from the pre-treatment wand, then ran the floor head over the same spot, it became extremely soapy and hard to rinse.Manufacturer instructions recommend gently testing on a surface before using it to make sure it’s compatible and doesn’t ruin the fabric Angle brooms are designed very much like a traditional broom, however, the bristles have been cut at an angle for easier access to the hard-to-reach places. An angled broom is particularly helpful for narrow spaces, like between furniture, or around corners. The USP here is a flexible wand that bends in the middle, with a light on the end to allow you to clean under furniture more easily. It also means the cleaner folds in half for convenient storage. Another unique feature is Shark’s “DuoClean” floorhead which contains two motorised brush rolls – one of stiff bristles, the other of rubber fins that dig deep into carpets to release more pet dirt.
