Shark IZ163H Pet Plus Cordless Stick Vacuum with Self-Cleaning Brushroll
Strong suction, great cleaning, and a comfortable design make this the best cordless stick vacuum for pet hair. Its performance allows it to compete with corded models, particularly on the carpet, and up to 40 minutes of runtime gives you plenty of cleaning time.
Shark RV2001WD AI VACMOP 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum and Mop with Self-Cleaning Brushroll
The SharkVac mop isn't quite as good at cleaning as many of the others we tested, but it does vacuum and mop floors, something it doesn't do at all, or carefully, on some of the other picks.
Shark HV343AMZ Rocket Corded Stick Vacuum with Self-Cleaning Brushroll
The Shark Rocket converts from an upright to a handheld vacuum. It vacuums hair, ground in dirt, and picks up pet hair from multiple surfaces.
Shark AV752 ION Robot Vacuum
We like the Shark because it does exactly what it says it will, and has great battery life, too. It also has Alexa integration, which we didn't expect to see in a robot vacuum.
Shark RV1001AE IQ Robot Self-Empty XL
The Shark IQ Robot vacuum packs in features and performance never seen before in a robotic vacuum. The no-hassle cleaning, along with customizable cleaning, makes this simply the best robotic vacuum we've ever tested.
Shark AV2501AE AI Robot Vacuum with XL HEPA Self-Empty Base
The $400 SharkAV2501AE is strong, easy to maneuver, and does a deep clean on the first try. However, it isn't perfect. First, we had a hard time charging it on our test bed, and the Roomba 960, which has the same battery, charged in minutes. Second, it doesn't have Alexa or Google Assistant, which means it's missing voice commands. Third, it takes a while for the robot to find its way around. Still, if you're looking for a robot vacuum, the SharkAV2501AE is the best on the market.
Shark AZ1002 Apex Powered Lift-Away Upright Vacuum with DuoClean & Self-Cleaning Brushroll
When we unpacked our Shark-powered vacuum, we were excited to find it was loaded with features, including powerful suction for tackling pet hair, a self-adjusting brushroll, and LED lights. But the machine also has the occasional hiccup: The canister design makes it difficult to clean hard floors, and the motorized lift-away feature is noisy.
Amazon Renewed Shark IQ App-Controlled Self-Charging Robot Vacuum, RV100AE/UR1000SR
The Shark IQ Robot is incredibly effective at removing pet hair, but in our tests, it had trouble navigating our open floor plan, stopping in corners and getting stuck under furniture. It won our Editors' Choice award because of the shark's impressive cleaning performance, the convenient self-cleaning brush roll, and the two-year warranty.
Shark IZ462H Vertex Ultra Lightweight Cordless Stick Vacuum with DuoClean PowerFins
While Shark's IZ462H Vertex Stick Vacuum cost almost twice that of Bissell's Bissell 9595A, it offers quite a few perks, including a powerful motor, two cleaning heads, a handheld, a headlight, and a long cord. It's also the only upright we tested that doesn't require a bag.
Shark AV1010AE IQ Robot Vacuum with XL Self-Empty Base
