For those who prefer a bagged vacuum that keeps pet hair and dander sealed after cleaning, there’s the Pet-Friendly Pop-N-Go canister vacuum from Kenmore, a Cleaning and Organizing Award-winner. We found its Pet PowerMate tool to be great for cleaning hair from upholstered furniture and carpets, and it can be stored along with bissell vacuum cleaner all other tools right on the vacuum. Like many other models from the brand, Bissell’s Pet Hair Eraser Turbo Plus did not disappoint our testers — in fact, it’s one of the best Bissell vacuums we’ve ever tested in our Lab. The floor nozzle also contains a tangle-free brush roll that prevents pet hair from clogging the bristles.
Its low height allows it to smoothly glide under furniture and into dark corners to chase down dust bunnies. Both the Q5 and the Q5+ were considerably quieter than other robot vacuums with similar cleaning performance. The noise of some louder bots made all the animals in our test house skedaddle.
That, however, wasn’t the case with the Bissell CleanView Swivel Pet upright vacuum. It isn’t as powerful as others we have tried, likely because the hose suction is so-so. Because it lacks that power, the brush can stop spinning if you apply too much pressure to it. But again, it’s surprising to find a powered attachment at all at this price.
The suction hasn’t diminished, and the vacuum has withstood being dropped and knocked over. Many of its parts, including its washable filters, belt, and charger, are replaceable. There’s also a suction blockage indicator which we haven’t seen before but really like. It’s one of the more useful features that could be included on an upright vacuum. When you see the indicator change color from green to red, you can clean the filters or clear the blockage.
It also has LED headlights that make it easy to see into crevices and corners so you don’t miss a spot. A crevice tool, a dusting brush and a turbo tool all come included. Their fur clings to furniture and hides deep in my carpet where other vacuums haven’t been able bissell vacuum cleaner to reach — until now. The RoboVac 11S Max is so quiet, you could easily forget that it’s running. It skips over half-inch door thresholds and is able to avoid stairs and drops. With its anti-collision sensors, it stays clear of (most) obstacles, including cat toys.
