20 Best Vacuums For Allergies (2022 Updated)

I’ve bought this vacuum around 7 months ago and I’m definitely quite pleased with my purchase. I also got lucky because it was like $150 off the regular price, so it was basically a steal. But I’d still happily and gladly purchase it at its regular full price any day, as it’s for sure worth it.

One of the cool things about Dyson vacuums is the number of different attachments that come with them, as well as there being additional specialty attachments available for separate purchase (such as the car cleaning attachments package available for this vacuum, which I highly recommend too, btw) another thing that literally all Dyson products are known for is their sleek, stylish, and intelligent design that makes them products you don’t want or have to hide and can proudly have them out on display without it looking bad.

Both of these Dyson attributes makes storage of the vacuum when not in use great due to the wall mount that comes with the vacuum and the fact that it incorporates the charger into it as well as holding all the many different specialty attachments in a nice, stylish, and functional design.

So everytime you clip your vacuum into the mount (which includes all necessary hardware to hang on any wall you choose) it automatically begins charging whilst being hung up and put away. To preserve the integrity of the battery, I suggest unplugging the charger cord from the wall once the vacuum is fully charged so it’s not constantly plugged in and charging.

A third thing all Dyson products are known for-and what truly sets them apart from their competitors-is the motors they use + the way the product uses it’s motor efficiently and works in tandem with it’s smart design for much better results than it’s competition.

Dyson vacuums have become world famous and so desirable for all of these reasons, but especially because of how well the product works and the fact that no Dyson vacuums lose their suction power at any point; they always keep their same strong suction from the very moment you first pull the trigger and begin vacuuming, all the way until you let go of the trigger ten minutes later without ever once allowing the vacuum to stop.

Other vacuums have always started out with strong suction when you first cut them on and then their suction power quickly fades away and loses its power over time. Dyson invented motors and technology to avoid this from ever happening and they were industry innovators immediately.

Virtually all competitors immediately copied the iconic look of Dyson vacuums and their signature cyclonic design, but none of them were able to copy Dysons powerful motors and ability to retain full suction power at all times.

This is what sets Dyson apart, and in case you’re wondering why Dyson vacuums cost more than some competitors that may appear to look the same and trick consumers into thinking they’re the same product for less cost, it’s because those competitors don’t have anywhere near the power of Dyson or it’s lossless power or the quality battery or any of the great attachments that come standard with Dyson.

This is the “Animal” model of the V8, meaning that it’s got some specialty attachments that are designed specifically to pick up hair from any surface, which is great for any pet owner, as there’s a regular full length floor attachment that’s motorized itself to pick up all hairs, as well as a smaller motorized attachment that goes directly on the vacuum itself-not the ling tube made to reach the floor-so you can clean off furniture or stairs more easily while still having a specialty attachment that moves and spins itself and is designed to be able to pick up hair.

These attachments really do pick up every last speck of dirt, dust, and, of course, hair. And they do so with just one single pass. It’s truly impressive. I also love how there’s a power switch you can toggle from regular/normal strength to max suction/power for extra dirty messes.

Another great innovation with Dyson vacuums is how you’re able to completely take apart every single last bit of the vacuum AND the attachments to remove any clogs as well as to clean the vacuum and both of its filters-which should be done regularly.

It’s very simple and easy to open up or remove certain parts to do this as well, and there are highly detailed videos on exactly how to do so for each individual vacuum. This is also handy in case a particular part of your vacuum breaks or needs replacing, because you can buy certain parts for the vacuum as well, so that simple fact further justifies the price of Dyson vacuums, as they’re an investment that’ll last for quite some time, and if anything becomes damaged, you can buy the particular part you need directly from Dyson and easily install it and fix your vacuum.

So if something is wrong with your Dyson, don’t throw it away, just buy the particular part you need and replace it. The parts are cheap too. And they sell literally every single piece of the vacuum individually, all the way down to the plastic bin that holds the rubbish it vacuums up.

The vacuum itself is also very lightweight and super easy to maneuver around. I was initially skeptical if this tiny handheld cordless would suffice as the sole vacuum for an entire house, but I very quickly realized within the first few minutes of using it that it’s more than sufficient for the entire house and it very easily replaces big, clunky, plug-in vacuums.

It just shows how superior the Dyson motor is, because this tiny handheld is able to completely replace any vacuum and do a better and easier job of cleaning, as well as a quicker job due to the fact it cleans better so it requires less passes over the floor in addition to the fact it’s cordless so you don’t have to constantly plug in and move around a cord or dodge it in the floor whilst vacuuming.

On a full charge, I’m able to completely vacuum every single floor in my house, as it works for hard floors as well as carpeting, and I’ve got a 3,600sqft house, but it still is able to clean the entire house without the battery dying, so don’t worry about not being able to clean the whole house at once.

I’m able to even use attachments to clean things like windowsills and ceiling fans and furniture as well as the stairs and curtains, not just the floors. I also use it to clean my car out regularly as well.

It keeps the carpet in my car like new, it’s still as soft and fluffy as the day I bought it 6 months ago. And I’m able to use other attachments to also clean out the center where the gear shifter snd buttons are at as well as the doors and door pockets and dashboard as well as the trunk and all the little compartments in it.

I do have to use one of the specialty auto attachments I bought separately for some areas, like getting the entire door pockets, which is the long flexible hose like you’d use at a car wash. but my car doors have an awkward shape, it’s a BMW 440 GranCoupe, so it’s super angular and makes it impossible for any straight attachment to fit in.

But I think many vehicles can get away without needing the auto attachments. I literally only need the hose for the door pockets, as the vacuum is small enough to get in all the areas. Lastly, when you initially buy your Dyson, be sure to register it on here for the warranty, because Dyson backs their products with a great warranty as well.

Tbh they sent me an email today asking if I wanted to review my vacuum, which I bought and registered over 7 months ago. But it’s been such a great vacuum and I’ve had time to really use and get to know it, and I can truly say it’s rhe best vacuum ever.

And I only bought the V8 Animal, they now have V11s, which have far stronger motors and larger batteries that last even longer, so I can just imagine how great they are. But honestly, this vacuum is really more than all you’ll ever need for your home, as it’s got plenty of power and battery life and is versatile enough for the entire house (and car!) oh and one last thing I love about Dyson is that they’re able to vacuum up large bits of rubbish as well as typical vacuum things, like dirt and hair.

But hairs never get tangled in the motorized attachments. They’ve engineered them to resist hairs wrapping arojnd and tangling up like other vacuums, and due to the design, it’s able to pick up large bits without damage to the vacuum.

For example, I broke a mirror and vacuumed up all the shards of glass without a bit of damage to my Dyson, and they’re extremely easy to empty out the bin as well-which of course is bag-less. Dyson is honestly the brand responsible for the style/design/features of literally all modern vacuums.

They were the first and everyone has copied them now, but nobody can outdo them. Dyson products are expensive, yes, but they’re absolutely worth every penny due to the amount of engineering and quality and performance you get with any and every product Dyson makes.

They’re a revolutionary brand that’s full of quality, innovation, excellent engineering, and great looks and style. I’m just glad they’ve expanded from a vacuum brand to a home brand because their fans, hair products, and lamps are all so extraordinary and just as great and superior to their competitors as their vacuums, not to mention they’re just as beautiful.

Dyson quickly became a brand I love and trust and am happy and proud to own. I’ll never buy another brand after owning Dyson products. I promise you’ll feel the same way too once you use a Dyson for the first time.

I just moved into a new apartment and have saved up for this Dyson and it was the best decision I have made. My new place is a 2 bed/2 bath apartment with mostly hard floors and carpets in the bedroom.

After going to Dyson’s website and taking their quiz. First, I have to suggest going through Dyson’s website to purchase and not through a 3rd party (Amazon, Target, etc). Dyson offers a price match, you are ensured a warranty, if you wish to get additional attachments, you can know you are getting the correct ones.

Next, after know about what model and price point I needed, I was able to look at each machine and pick out the best that would work for me, my cleaning routine, and my home. My Dyson came with so many different attachments (included!!!) but the reason I chose this one was it had different heads for one for each type of flooring, carpet or hard floors.

I can remove the wand to make the attachments handheld to clean my couch, add it and a soft bristle head to clean the walls and the top corners next to my ceiling. I could go on and on. This isn’t a vacuum… this has replaced so many different tools I used to clean and, above all, my favorite part, as new apartments can come some lingering bugs, I take the head off and can stay far enough away and still catch and dump the creepy-crawlies.

It is my new bug killing machine. As I said, I could write a novel about how much I love this Dyson. It was worth every penny.

For years we’ve watched the Dyson commercials, the various products and innovations. We just bought the portable Dyson V8. We have another portable vacuum that we’ve had for a few years that’s not performing as well as it has in the past.

It was 1/4 the price of the Dyson V8 – we had our doubts, but the return policy was more than fair. Wow!! It performs far better than the other portable and even better than our corded vacuum. We love it and haven’t found anything detrimental to say about it.

Actually, we’re so impressed with Dyson that the upright corded vacuum is scheduled to arrive tomorrow and as soon as the Dyson AirWrap is available in my wife’s preferred color, we’ll be adding that to our personal Dyson product line.

The Dyson V8 portable is so well thought out! Ease of operation, multiple useful attachments, small footprint and the simplicity of ensuring a good charge show just how well thought out this product and by extension everything else that Dyson manufactures is compared to the competition is amazing!! Great job Dyson!!.

Works like a champ. I have hardwoods, rugs, carpet, and tile throughout current home and it switches seamlessly between all three without having to change the device. Has been a life saver with hardwood floors and no longer having to waste 45+minutes/day sweeping to only have a ton of doggo hair left behind- 20mins and all surfaces are clean af! Quiet, effective, and extremely efficient.

No doubt its worth the $1k price tag!.

Love my Miele C3 Marin! Very powerful and quite machine. All the included attachments are on board the machine. The power head is super quite and easy to operate. The bare floor tool is Great at picking up any kind of fine dust and debris of tile.

All in all I recommend this vacuum to anyone who suffers from allergies it’s a 100 percent Sealed System.

I’ve only used it a few times, but this canister vacuum is much quieter than any vacuum cleaner I’ve had before. It also has lots of ways to adjust it to the needs of the particular job at hand. I like that the tools have somewhere to hide and that the stick clips into the canister to stand up vs.

our previous vacuum which gave me gray hairs from the loud bang every time the stick wand would topple over onto the floor!.

Where do I even start? I’ve had many different vacuum cleaners in the past, including those by Shark and Dyson. This beast is in a different league. It definitely wasn’t cheap (I paid $799) but it’s so worth the price! When friends or family ask what I paid they think I’m crazy till they try it for themselves! I couldn’t and wouldn’t EVER go back to any other brand of vacuum! Firstly the build quality is far superior.

I expect this will last as long as my old Miele which lasted around 15 years. It feels very solid and dense and has an unmistakable air of quality about it. Talking about air, it really does suck it in.

It’s the most powerful vacuum I’ve ever used and easily lifts up rugs, carpet, cushions and lino in the kitchen! Nothing can stand in its way. It handles everything with ease. It also has a very effective air filter on board which helps with any odors.

The machine comes with a handy selection of brush heads and tools underneath a hatch on top of its sports car-like chassis. There are also buttons that govern the level of suction power – from a low power mode suitable for vacuuming curtains and other delicate items, a quieter mode for when you’re vacuuming through the night and of course the rip-roaring full suction mode for everything else.

Without taking up too much more of your time – this is a spectacular piece of engineering which you will not regret buying. It will last you decades and can handle everything you throw at it. Buy it and love it.

Just make sure that when your friends borrow it (which they will ask to do) you get it back!.

My husband and I are tall people, I absolutely love the fact that this canister vacuum has a long nozzle where I don’t feel like I’m leaning over too much to vacuum the floor. It’s very quiet, you can still have a conversation with it running.

The turbo suction is no joke, be careful it’ll eat your rug easily, learned there are different settings for the suction amount! Love that the floor head is much larger than the other leading brands.

I also have allergies, so this HEPA filtration system is a a bonus to help keep our inside air clean. My only suggestion for future models is to have an option for on/off switch to be on the handle too.

You always have to use the foot switch for operation, for older folks it’s a long of bending down for operation. Overall so glad we invested the money to get this great vacuum!.

Pros: I never thought a design of a vacuum could change so much the use of it. Miele is exeptionally convenient and solid to use. All main attachments lock in, small attachments are always within the vacuum so you will never lose them.

All the parts cna be carried with one hand. Due to long hose and other parts even tall people can use the vacuum without the need to bend – you can even use Miele in the centre of the room and reach all the floor in medium size rooms without moving the vacuum, cable is so long I can vacuum most of the house without switching power outlets.

Performance is the best I have seen. Has two main attachments, one is turbine with brushes works perfectly for carpet and picks up every hair but sometimes struggles to pick up small rice bits. Other ending picks up rice bits without no problems, but doesn’t pick as many hair.

Bags and filters have a decent price, 4 and 2 filters (lasting around a year) cost about 15-18 gbp or 11gbp if you buy 4 years instantly. Vacuum doesn’t release any “vacuum smell” air out, Miele does not get hot as my previous vacuums.

I just can’t say enough good things about it, especially if you get it with a discount. Cons: Miele c3 cag and dog is amazing, but it could improve in:-Easier way to remove hair from Turbine brush. -Small attachments locking.

-A more straight forward opening of the vacuum to reveal bags and filters.

I also purchased a mattress cover, and pillow covers. I decided to try this vacuum. I love love it this vacuum. It has helped with my allergies. This may sound like over the top for comments but when I’m not sleeping sound again I use this vacuum and it “DOES MAKE A Difference”.

Thank you thank you.

It is a Dream , I waited to use it , I expected it Not to Shock Me , I steamed my mattress !! OH , My , What a Difference !! I could not believe , the filter chamber !! The RAYCOP was AWESOME and Light Weight , Indeed !! I am going to buy more , for Gifts , No Ome Can Borrow Mine !! Hospitals Need this Too !!.

I have only used the productonce but it appears to work well. Unfortunately I have not noticed any appreciable difference in my sinus problems. I am am hoping that I will see a difference with continal use.

This hepa caught my eye as spring was approaching. My husband and daughter have bad allergies and I was hoping this vacuum would help keep the air cleaner. After the first use I knew right away it was doing it’s job.

The suction power is excellent! I had no idea there that much dirt and dust was in my carpet and on my couch (maybe I should have known with having kids though. ). Simplicity has a Pet Fur Remover Tool I bought as an add on to this vacuum.

It’s a perfect fit and really does a nice job getting the dog hair off the couch. I highly recommend this vacuum!.

I had already purchased a Simplicity canister vac @ Marbeck. It is an awesome vac, but not the best for carpet. I bought my Simplicity upright direct from Simplicity. IT IS THE BOMB! It works great on carpet, you can hear all the dirt going in the cleaner.

I am not the greatest cleaner, but I research for good cleaning products. My upright is the vac I clean beauty salons with, works great. To Heck with DYSON, HOOVER, ETC. I buy my cleaning products local!.

Great suction, love the metal hose attachment and telescoping action. One glaring issue: very disappointed that there is no way to shut off the brushroll. I just turn the height setting all the way up when using the hose, but it still rubs some of the tall carpet in my house, which is not ideal.

On every vacuum I’ve used, there is a second pedal to push, or the roller automatically shuts off when the vacuum is locked upright, but that isn’t the case for this one, unless mine is faulty.

I waited a few months to post a review because I wanted to really see how it performed. I’ve always used canister vacuums, either Kenmore or Electrolux. The last one that I purchased was not made with the same quality as ones in the past and it did not hold up for what I paid for it.

So I decided to shop around and see what I could find that was comparable. I came across Prolux and after doing a lot of research and reading many reviews I ordered one and I’m so glad I did. When I first received it I was a little concerned because of how lightweight it was and the attachments were mainly plastic but once I assembled it and really looked at everything I could see it was made well and everything was very sturdy.

The first time I used it I knew I had made the right choice. It is simple in options but has everything you need, I absolutely love the suction dial where I can adjust according to what I’m doing. I have indoor dogs and cats and I vacuum at least every other day and this thing picks up everything whether it’s on hardwood or carpet.

I also love the fact that I can turn suction to a lower setting and easily vacuum my curtains, blinds, and fan blades with the extendable wand which I love. I will admit I was wary about buying from a company that was new to me but I’m so glad I did.

Their customer service is excellent, I had a few questions and they were very quick to respond and help answer my questions. Overall, I give my Prolux Tritan a 10/10, and if the time comes that I need another vacuum I will definitely get another Prolux.

I can only offer my first impressions at this time, because I just received this product today, and used it for the first time. Like any new item that replaces an old item, it will have an adjustment period.

I’ll have to get used to the stiff curve in the hose where the extension tube (REAL METAL) attaches — I’m used to a more flexible hose at that junction, which allows me to create my own angles freely, whereas the hose on this vacuum cleaner is rigid at a set angle.

As for its power to pick up, I like the adjustable suction, which I placed at two-thirds strength, which is already twice as much suction as my old vacuum cleaner had. Overall, It has a nice selection of tools, it is a good size, the retractable cord works well.

My only constructive criticism would be for the company to make the instruction manual a bit more detailed by explaining EXACTLY where to find the motor filter (it’s in the same compartment as the bag).

The locations of the other filters were very clear. Also there are a couple of buttons for which there is no explanation in the instruction manual. And the font size used in the printed instruction manual is way too small.

The font size on the instruction insert, however, is much more reasonably sized for reading. So, at this point, I’ll still give it five stars, because what’s most important is that it has good suction, and I foresee it continuing to work.

I’m satisfied with the purchase.

This vacuum works great and has plenty of time on the battery. However, if you have multiple pets or any with long hair, I would not recommend it. The small bin fills up very quickly. Even with daily vacuuming, I have to empty it before I’m finished.

The stick is difficult to separate from the power head, and the trigger has to be held continuously, making it uncomfortable to use. I had a cheaper vacuum that didn’t work as well, but it did have a locking mechanism on the trigger, making it very easy and comfortable to use.

I wish Dyson would implement this simple change and provide a larger bin on the models that are advertised for pet owners. Look around before you invest in this.

Disappointed!! I got the V10 allergen Black Friday special. I’m not thoroughly impressed with this vacuum. I feel like I could have saved more than $300 and bought a cheaper brand for the same results.

I didn’t expect to have issues with my first dyson. I was super excited to have a cordless vac which is nice and I don’t have issues with battery life. Trouble is it doesn’t seem to clean up rolling backwards.

It doesn’t pick up pieces of cat food or cat litter very well. I have the hardest time taking it apart to empty the bin even with the button pressed I can’t get it apart and need my husbands help! It doesn’t freestand very well and fell over one day and left a nice ding on the tube.

Absolute best vacuum I have ever owned! I have dragged my feet with purchasing this vacuum because of the cost. The home we purchased has super plush carpet in our upstairs and the previous owner had pets.

Our allergies have been terrible despite the air purifiers and using my other vacuum (professional cleaning isn’t an option during the winter months where I live, the humidity interferes with drying and pet odors are brought out more).

I’ve been looking into options other than replacing the carpet and I was brought back to this vacuum. I can’t believe the amount of debris this vacuum brought out of the carpet! This vacuum has been a game changer for us!.

I have terrible allergies and read about the helpful use of this product for allergy sufferers. I used it on my couch and mattresses and was amazed by how much dirt and dust it collected especially since I am a cleaning fanatic.

I had no allergy symptoms after sitting and lying on these surfaces afterwards. It is a bit heavy to use but I changed hand to hand and took a short break. Also, it became a bit addicting after seeing how much debris it collects you want to clean everything.

It is well worth the investment.

My wife has severe persistent asthma, allergies, etc, etc. I use the device on the upholstery, rugs, comforter and such were she dwells most often. It is well made, powerful, easy to maneuver, and easy to clean.

It has not cured her, but at least we know we are doing everything possible on that end of the situation. I like it.

This item is very easy to use. It removes mites, skin cells, etc from bedding and furniture. If we travel, we will use this on hotel beds. We are seniors and try to keep everything as sanitary as possible.

This item will help us do just that. This was also offered at the best price.

I have only had great experience since childhood. And never heard a complaint from my mother. I purchased this machine to replace my DC15, which was over 10 years old. what makes me sad the most is, giving away my old DC15 that did not seem to give up anytime soon.

I loved that machine. with the amount of work it was doing around a house full of pet hair and dirt, it never gave me any problems, no repair or replaced parts ever needed. Worth to mention here, I also have multiple small hand held Dyson vacuums for my mattress, another for kitchen and separated machine for cars in our garage.

With all that being said, It makes me very disappointed to come along a Dyson product that has become the worst purchase. Disappointing to give a one star to Kinetic big ball animal allergy after nearly 6 years owning it as expensive piece of machine in closet storage, that nobody wants to touch.

We have 3 fairy pets. Especially our German shepherds shed hair insanely. You can only imagine how much pet hair and dendrite accumulate around a 3 bedrooms 2300 sqft house in a day. This vacuum frustrates anybody touches it.

During holiday, my guest tried to help with cleaning and she wanted to give the Dyson a shot, and that reminded me the pain again. it only took her 5 minutes to give up and go back to the cheap noisy plastic filter needy machine my husband bought.

which cleans my house. I was not ready to give up on in the first year, but my husband had no patient and bought a cheap plastic that he can use when he cleans. There is a defect in the main head component and makes it useless, because thats what you use around the house not the little kits they come with as accessory.

so long story short. what is really wrong. this machine fails to CLEAN. It fails to pick up larger particles. I mean, imagine one single rice, or a small animal dirt from their leg or body on the floor, and its visible to eyes.

This machine fails to pick it up. it pushes them forward instead of picking it up. You can try to move back and forth, attack the particle from different angels and still doing it. It is so heavy to work with, and makes you physically tired when trying so hard to see if it can pick up a single particle.

At the end you turn it off and DO IT WITH HANDS!!!! The suction (which supposed to be the strongest), does not only clean, but also fails to SUCK ANIMAL HAIR (HENCE THE NAME ANIMAL+ALLERGY). As light as a hair weight, it supposed to suck it up better than most vacuums in the market.

But instead it pushes them or roll over them if hair is stuck on carpet. it doesn’t work on any surface, carpet, or even hard floor. This big head part can not clean anything. It gets filled with some dust and some hair but IT DOESN’T CLEAN ANY SURFACE.

I did not buy this to vacuum over and over switch between machines, and spend all day picking up dirts, that this leaves behind manually or another vacuum. So, thats the reason its sitting in storage closet and nobody wants to touch it.

I wish there was something to do with the head part, or something that can tell me What I AM DOING WRONG, I wish Dyson could give me a solution, so I can actually use it. because We are tired of buying cheap noisy plastics that create dust in the air, and break every other year.

Have owned Dysons for about 12 years now, maybe a little longer. We did try a Shark once, but it didn’t live up to the hype. Our old Dyson was finally giving up the ghost and it was time to replace her (DC Animal).

I spend a lot of time doing the standard research, read a lot of reviews. Dysons seem to draw a lot of great reviews and the standard sprinkling of “not worth the money”. As with most things in life, you get what you pay for.

I was unfamiliar with the Cinetic but was immediately intrigued with the concept of no filters to rinse or maintain. So, I rolled the dice. We’ve had this vacuum for just over a month and it’s really been a pleasant surprise, out-performing every vacuum we’ve had in the past.

Performance with this is pretty easy to guage, the amount of “stuff” in the can is an order of magnitude greater than its predecessor. It gets a deeper clean and has a log of suction. It corners well, and cleans edges like a champ.

And it’s definitely quieter than previous models – noticeably so. I haven’t measured the db’s but you can definitely tell it’s quieter. So, is it worth the $800+ price tag? Well, that’s up to you. IMHO, it’s the best Dyson yet made.

I haven’t tried some of the strange attachments like the “under the couch wand” but I’m sure those will work fine too.

I’ve never struggle as much, or wasted more time and money, with a vacuum as I have with this one. It is heavy, and cumbersome. It clogs easily and frequently, and that is with steering clear of objects that we’re not supposed to use it on.

The tube does extend but has a lot of resistance to it, so I feel like I’m constantly using a lot of arm strength to keep it extended while at the same time vacuuming. The attachments do not work well.

The extended arm is not flexible and makes getting under narrow spaces really awkward. The bin requires digging out with a screwdriver in order for all the dirt / hair to fully come out. By that point there’s a huge cloud of micro dust that you’re breathing in.

Disgusting and unhealthy. Unfortunately as we’ve had it for longer than 1 month, there’s no refund. I’ve had enough, I’m trading it in for a bag vacuum cleaner. It will probably only have maybe $200 trade in value even though we just bought it a few months ago at $700.

VERY EXPENSIVE MISTAKE.

This is definitely a “must have” item if you value clean and dust-free bedding and upholstery. Using the cleaner is so much easier than a larger vacuum and attachments due to the fact is is lightweight, and appears to be much more efficient too! The cord is nice and long which makes it much easier for continuous and uninterrupted operation because you do not have to keep unplugging the device and finding another socket to use.

I love the dust sensor feature which powers the dust indicator light and allows you to see how much dust is on the area you are cleaning. The light feature alerts you as to whether the area you are cleaning is dirty or ultimately clean.

The suction is such that it is capable of removing dust mites and other foreign bodies from a mattress, and even has an agitator which shakes and releases the dust mites during the removal process. I now use this cleaner almost daily on furniture, mattresses, stairs, and even carpets.

It has become my cleaning implement of choice. It is easy to store and clean and there is a comprehensive instruction booklet provided. There is a mesh filter which is somewhat typical of small vacuum appliances, and the device is therefore easy to maintain.

I am of the opinion that this device represents good value for money given its capabilities. Here’s to a much cleaner house!.

I’m a little confused because the name of this product is “Mattress and Furniture Vacuum Cleaner”, but in the instruction booklet that comes with the vacuum it says “do not use on furniture”. I tried it first on my mattress and was genuinely surprised at all the white stuff that it picked up and was stuck to the filter.

I’m going to call that dust so as not to gross myself out, lol! I thought my mattress was pretty clean but this vacuum picked up a good bit of funk from it. The dirt cup and filter area are easy to access and quick & easy to clean.

If you are thinking about buying this and using it as a general hand vacuum cleaner – don’t. It’s not going to be something that you can use as a regular hand vac. It’s corded, first of all, but that’s a good thing in this situation as that allows for powerful suction the entire time you’re using it, no worries about the battery losing power.

Second, there is no roller brush so it’s not going to pick up much besides dust – I thought maybe I’d be able to use it on my dog beds (which are flat and look like tiny legless couches). It did suck up a good amount of dust and dirt from their beds but it just moved the dog hair around, it didn’t suck any of that up at all.

Which is fine, that’s not what it’s for. So for mattress cleaning I’m giving it 5 stars, it does a terrific job at that.

I have just started to use this so this is what I’m seeing right now: The good news: This little machine came very carefully packed, to the point where it was a little difficult to retrieve it from its packaging.

That was a good thing, an incident in shipping would have to be pretty heavy duty to damage it. It has the most detailed manual I’ve seen in a long time. The vacuum is lightweight and easy to use. I have only used it once so far and quickly, but it seems to do the job well! The bad news: The manual is so detailed that it’s possible to end up a little confused.

There are a few parts that seem to need a good bit of care, although that’s probably pretty easy to deliver. Since the uses are limited to mattresses and upholstered furniture, people who have 1 or 2 beds and not much furniture might be wondering if they want to give up storage space for it, small as it is.

In all, I think the little vacuum is a plus. It doesn’t take up a lot of space and it seems to do a good job. I used it over a wraparound mattress cover that I would need help to take off and it still seemed to do well with what I gave it.

Next step would be to get some help with that, do the mattresses and go to any upholstered furniture in the house.

I’ve owned an assortment of vacuum cleaners in my life, including one previous Dyson, which is still working great after 20-plus years. My first Dyson is an electric canister model, which is somewhat heavy and hard to maneuver is some areas, especially on stairs.

That’s the reason I wanted a cordless “stick” type of vacuum cleaner, for light vacuuming and working on stairs, in cars, etc. I had one previous cordless vacuum from another manufacturer, it looks very similar to the Dyson but the Dyson outperforms it.

The Dyson has an incredible amount of suction power and is surprisingly quiet. After vacuuming area rugs, the rugs look like they did when they were new. something that hasn’t happened with any vacuum cleaner I’ve had.

The Dyson comes with two attachments, a wide one for doing floors and a narrow one for getting in tight spaces and doing things like upholstery or in vehicles. After you’ve charged the Dyson and fitted whatever attachment you want, you can use it for quite a while, depending which mode you choose to use.

There is a power setting slide switch, regular and maximum. Obviously on maximum you will get less time vacuuming before having to recharge. While vacuuming, the motor will cycle a couple of times and then stop, letting you know that the filter basket is full.

To empty the filter basket, you pull up on the red lever on top of the vacuum. Be ready to empty it, because when you pull that lever, the bottom of the filter basket opens and dumps everything out. The documentation that comes with the vacuum is pretty minimal, you have to go online to get more information.

There are two filters (depending on your model), they can be removed and rinsed in water when necessary.

A few years ago, we acquired a Dyson stick vacuum and it’s been one of the best investments we’ve made in our home appliances. So, when we were given the opportunity to a get this newer model, we jumped at it.

The V7 arrived in a sturdy cardboard box. While I appreciate the how secure the pieces of the vacuum are inside the box, I hope that maybe less packaging can be used in the future because there are a lot of cardboard pieces on the inside of the carton.

Assembly of the vacuum is very easy. There are three main pieces — the motor assembly, the stick body, and the head with the brush bar. Each piece snaps into the other pieces so within a few minutes of opening the box, you are ready to use it.

The vacuum comes with a power supply for charging and a mini soft dusting brush attachment. One of the design features I appreciate about our previous vacuum model is that it can be mounted to a wall for charging.

This model cannot. That is really the only ‘complaint’ I have about this vacuum. It works really well — I would actually say that it works better than our previous model, which is supposed to be the stronger vacuum.

We have a small dog that likes to destroy his toys. He will pull all the fluff out of them and completely rip them to shreds. We happened to have an area of the floor that needed to be cleaned because of this activity that the V7 took care of for us.

There were small shreds, threads, dust, and human hair in the same floor area and the vacuum picked it all up like a champ. The brush does a great job of separating any strings or hairs that typically get caught and pushing it through to the dust chamber.

This makes it very easy to clean up the vacuum. I did notice that there was some hair left on the brush, but I was able to pull it off quite easily rather than needing to cut it off with scissors or combing it out with a small tool.

This brand is typically higher priced than others but the quality of this product speaks for itself. If you struggle with keeping floors hair and fur-free, this is a great investment. These stick vacuums have all but replaced our full-size push vacuum when it comes to cleaning our floors.

If you’ve never used a battery powered stick vacuum, you’re working too hard. The Dyson V7 Advanced Origin vacuum Is one of the lightest vacuums I have used. Easy to maneuver around furniture and items with a flick of the wrist and with its thin beater bar, it fits under furniture with ease.

The battery provides about 30 minutes of vacuuming. At first, I thought this may not be enough considering how much time I used to spend vacuuming. But it turns out once you eliminate the time spent plugging and unplugging the vacuum, minding the cord so it doesn’t get stuck or knock something over, or moving things to vacuum around or under them, I found I could vacuum the house much faster than I ever could before with much less effort.

Not that I have much battery left, it’s just about all used up. I do feel a bit of “Range Anxiety” having just one fixed battery and do rush more. A replaceable battery pack as used on cordless drills and other tools would be a welcome addition.

This Dyson comes with a combination tool, the wand/pipe, and a de-tangling motor bar cleaner head. with hair removal vanes that clear long hair and pet hair from the brush bar. The motor bar cleaner head seems to work, no hair or strings got wrapped around the beater brush.

Be aware that this model comes with just what is listed in the product description, the combination tool attachment. There is no crevice or other attachments which used to be standard. Nor is there a wall mounted charging dock.

If you know you will need the attachments, you should look at other Dyson models that include them or purchase them separately. Not a problem for me replacing a well-used Dyson vacuum that came with the attachments which are all still in excellent condition.

Not including the attachments keeps the older ones that are in good shape from going into the landfill and should help keep the price down. This seems to align with the packaging which was all fully recyclable cardboard.

No foam, plastic or other environmentally bad packing material was used. Replace the wand with the combination tool and you have a very powerful hand-held vacuum to clean furniture, drapes, the car, or whatever you need one for.

The normal/low power setting seems perfectly adequate for hard wood floors and low pile carpet. The High-power mode adds a very noticeable increase in vacuum power and noise. Nice to have when you need it, but I found I rarely did.

The Dyson is a well-made vacuum. Very nimble and powerful. Everything fits and functions exceptionally well, which is what I have come to expect of the brand.

Could not be happier with this vacuum – it provides an incredible amount of suction, it has a high quality construction, and there’s many intelligent features built in that make it a joy to use. This is actually my second Dyson ball vacuum – sadly, my ex-wife took my original 😉 That vacuum was amazing and am super happy to have this newer version.

The construction is top-notch. Everything is tight, solid, and durable. For reference, the original I had was over 3 years old and it performed just like new after many years of using it to clean up after 2 dogs and a couple cats.

This newer version actually feels a little more robust so I am sure this will last just as long if not longer. In terms of cleaning power, this could be the main reason Dyson is so popular. It provides quite of bit of suction for everything from floors to furniture.

The main head on the bottom of the vacuum has 3 different modes from hard surfaces like tile and hardwood to light carpet to thicker carpet and it does a great job at picking up pet hair even with the deepest of carpets.

This version of the Ball Animal 3 comes with a combination tool (nozzle and soft brush) as well as a stair tool. The stair tool has these little velour strips that helps pick up hair from carpets and that works well.

If your pet (or other humans – no judgement) shed a lot hair, you may want to consider the Ball Animal 3 Extra which runs $100 more but that comes with the Pet Groom Tool as well as the Tangle-free turbine tool.

I had the tangle-free turbine tool on my last Dyson and found that to be a fantastic tool for cleaning cat hair from furniture. The other thing about Dyson products are the smart features that make it super convenient and also eco-friendly.

The canister for storing debris easily pops off with a single button and then a secondary button releases the bottom of the canister for emptying easily into a trash can. The hose is built right into the handle of the vacuum so there’s none of that additional hose that you have to loop around the vacuum or anything like that.

It’s all integrated. In addition, there’s also eco-friendly features such as a washable filter as well as even how Dyson products are packaged. 99% of the packaging is completely recyclable. There’s a reason Dyson products are so popular and I’m super happy to add this to my other Dyson products.

So I’ve owned a Ball Animal 2 for about 3 yrs and have had a love/hate relationship with it. And having owned the Ball Animal 3 for almost a month now, I can honestly say I still have a love/hate relationship with this brand.

I purchased the Animal 3 because I was glad to finally see that Dyson opted to change the Cleaning Head to what the UK variant has had for awhile now, which is having a carpet height selector. Now I really have to say that the Animal 3 has so much better suction with having the carpet height selector, but that also has a negative that I’ve found.

I find it very difficult to turn now compared to the Animal 2 which turned on a dime. I will for sure keep it as I don’t want to jump through the hoops of returning it, but I don’t believe I will be making any future Dyson vacuum purchases in the future after this experience.

The cost of these vacuums is very much on the high side and with that you would expect that they would do their own inhouse study/testing and they seem to have failed at this. In the end it basically comes down to the fact that the negatives outweigh the positives when compared to what you expect when making such an expensive purchase.

Yes the suction is probably the best you’ll ever have with any vacuum on the market BUT with negative costs. Being a “BALL” vacuum and unlike the Animal 2 that could turn easily, this thing is a major struggle to turn.

NOT GOOD! The Animal 3 also has the same issues like the Animal 2 in that trying to use the hose is a chore on it’s own. The suction is just so strong that you basically need to have the vacuum right next you or end up having to do things like.

prop the vacuum around the corner of a wall and then stretch out the hose while also having some decent arm and upper body strength to do so with even minimal comfort. The “Cyclone” portion of the vacuum is a very poor design.

Due to a common static charge while vacuuming, it allows for dust to build up in massive clumps within the Cyclone piece. You need to constantly bang the heck out of this piece while over a trash can in order to keep it even somewhat clean.

And they don’t make it so the Cyclone can be easily disassembled for cleaning which is a huge disappointment and failure within it’s design. I also find it upsetting that even though Dyson offers a TON of accessories for these upright models.

they don’t offer one of the most common of accessories. a basic dusting brush! Yes it comes with a combo tool for crevice and dusting. They even offer a wide variety of other dusting attachments. ones that can twist for angled dusting, one that can bend etc etc.

but then not your basic common everyday short dusting brush that’s found on 99. 9% of vacuums since they were invented. Really boggles my mind. No lie. since I still have the Animal 2, I took the combo tool from that one and ended up cutting off basically 80% of the crevice tool portion to make my own “basic short dusting brush!”.

Dyson if your listening: You should have listened to your customer base and address the issue with the hose being difficult to use. I’m sure there has to be a solution. maybe a hose that’s not as stiff? Look into my “home modification” of the basic short dusting brush and release a factory version.

And please look into the problem of the Animal 3 being so much harder to turn compared to the Animal 2.

GOOD – Long cord – Good suction – End-user serviceable design – Fairly compact BAD – Doesn’t steer as easily as other swivel heads – Fixed extension wand can get in the way – Cleaning on hard floors could be better – Runs hot DETAILS Dyson vacuums are well known for their performance and reliability.

My experience with this rendition of their Ball design bears that out, and I’ve been largely pleased with it. The Animal version of the Ball is marketed specifically at people with pets, to clean up the hair from carpets and furniture.

I find it’s also handy if you or the people you live with have long hair. In general, it cleans quite well. It has very powerful suction and the power bar base has three settings for deep pile carpet, normal carpet, and hard floors.

The power bar itself can also be toggled on and off. I found it cleaned my carpets quite well, though cleaning my hardwood left a little to be desired ( the instruction manual recommends turning the power bar off for this, I’m not sure why ).

It also has a very generous cord length. And though Dyson created the Ball design specifically to make it easier to steer the vacuum around corners and obstacles, I find it much stiffer to turn than other current swivel head vacuums.

I appreciate Dyson’s design in the vacuum. It’s fairly modular, making it relatively easy to service and maintain yourself, provided you can get a replacement part. The filters are washable so you can reuse them instead of constantly buying new replacements.

It also keeps things slim and trim so the vacuum is a little more compact than other full-size uprights. This particular model also comes with two extra attachment tools. One is an upholstery brush/cleaner, the other is a pet grooming tool that’s supposed to suck up the shedded hair as you brush.

How well your pet will handle being brushed near a vacuum remains to be seen. But sometimes I think it tries to be too clever. It uses a friction snap instead of a pedal to release the vertical lock.

It’s usually fine, but it also means you can accidentally release the upright lock when you don’t want to, like if you want to tilt the vacuum back and roll it somewhere or even if you pick it up and then set it down.

The extension wand is stored inside the hose in the main column. This is nice for reducing the exterior dimensions, but it also means you have to unwind the entire cord and slide out the entire wand when you want to do some quick spot cleaning.

You can detach the wand from the hose if you don’t need or want the reach, like in a small corner or nook, but in those moments where you just want to quickly clean up some cookie crumbs or dust bunnies, it’s more involved than you might be used to.

The main handle is also reversed to accommodate the extension wand, putting the main column below your hand instead of above it when you’re using the vacuum. This means the vacuum tilts back farther than others when using it.

For myself, I found my legs and knees bumped into main unit a lot since it was now leaning more toward me. Most of these complaints are small quirks, admittedly. They may or may not matter to you. All in all, it’s a well built vacuum, it cleans well, and it stores easily.

It does have a few quirks and the “exhaust” air is quite hot, but these are minor complaints on an otherwise great vacuum.

The Shark Cordless Pet Plus is exactly what our home needed! We have two dogs and a cat, so the hair shedding is constant, and the cleaning of pet hair is constant. We do our best to keep them off the furniture, but we certainly give in sometimes.

This cordless vacuum is everything we hoped it would be: light weight, very portable, powerful suction, and anti-allergen functional to keep dander and other particles from spreading around the room.

Since we are battling pet hair daily the Shark Pet Plus is the ultimate weapon in our arsenal, it is so easy to grab from the charging spot, assemble into the floor configuration for carpets and then reduce size into furniture configuration without any hassle.

Emptying the dust bin after a cleaning is super simple: just a button press to release the bin door over the trash and all the debris falls out easily!! What used to be an every other day routine with a bulky corded vacuum is now a daily quick 20 minute routine that gives us the same results as a heavy duty corded vacuum.

Obviously, the suction is less than that of a corded unit, but the turbo trigger gives us that added power when we need it, while maintaining the best battery life. At the end of the 20-minute routine the battery still has about 40-50% charge so it can be moved onto the next room without charge.

The Pet Plus won’t have enough charge to do our entire home, but were not expecting that when we purchased, we wanted a cordless with enough power to get deep into our carpet and clean off our couch, and that is exactly what we got! After months of thorough use we are extremely satisfied with the Shark Cordless Pet Plus! Pro: Very portable Easy to assemble and reconfigure Good turbo suction functionality Easy to empty dust bin Self-cleaning brush roll (we haven’t had to clean it after 2 months!!) Con: Battery life can drain quickly if turbo is used constantly (not a negative for us but might be for some).

I was skeptical about purchasing this vacuum only because I’ve only ever used vacuums with a cord. I always thought that battery powered vacuums had less suction power than those with a cord, but this one definitely proved me wrong.

I love that it comes apart in multiple places and has changeable attachments. So it’s perfect for vacuuming the floor, using it to clean floorboards and seats in your car, or getting dust off ceiling fans or ceilings.

There’s so many uses and it’s light weight makes it easy to use and maneuver. The removable chamber makes it super easy to clean. You can simple rinse out or put in dishwasher by itself for a thorough cleaning.

The filter are super easy to remove and rinse also. You set them out, let them completely dry and then they are good as new. My grandmother ended up purchasing this vacuum after I got mine and she liked it.

The crevice attachment makes it perfect for vacuuming and getting dust in hard-to-reach places and going around your baseboards. It allows her to attach the crevice tool to the end of the hose and walk around the baseboards to clean.

No having to bend over or get on your hands and knees to dust. Also no climbing ladders or chairs in order to wipe off ceilings or ceiling fan blades. If you have a much larger home, I would probably recommended ordering a second battery just so you can have one charging while the other is in use.

I clean houses sometimes in my free time and the larger houses take a bit longer, so I have a second backup battery. But overall, the battery life is amazing, and I usually only run my vacuum on the low setting and it still has more than enough suction power to pick up even in carpet.

One battery usually will last a good 35-40 minutes, and that’s plenty of time to get the cleaning done that I need to. I gave it 4 stars only because of a couple of design flaws. The vacuum still works amazing but I feel these should be pointed out.

The teeth on the vacuum head attachment could be made higher. The are too low so it will not pick up my dog’s pieces of dog food he drops, instead it just pushes them around. I have to pick up the vacuum head and set it down over the food for it to pick it up.

I would like to note my dog is a Great Dane so his dog food pieces are larger, but still are standard sizes for dog food. The teeth on the vacuum attachment are too low so it pushes the food around as I vacuum instead of picking it up.

Another design flaw I’d like to note is when you vacuum over some things that are longer, (for example, a piece of pine straw), it will end up across the opening to the hose instead of going up it. This is inside the vacuum head attachment.

On most vacuums, you could simple stick your hand/finger in and remove it. Because the opening on this vacuum head is so narrow, if anything gets stuck behind the roller, you have to completely unscrew and take off the cover piece in order to remove it.

The opening is so narrow, there’s no room to stick even a finger in to pull something out or knock it loose. Other than the couple of minor design flaws, this vacuum is definitely worth the price. Has amazing suction power, easy to use and maneuver, lots of uses, lightweight, and durable.

Overall, I’m glad I purchased this vacuum and won’t be going back to a vacuum with a cord.

Simply not worth the $300 sale price and definitely not worth regular price. I have had several cordless vacs over the years to include a few Sharks (Vertex was the best so far but even pricier). I have spent more and more money to get a high quality, long lasting and strong battery operated cordless.

The unboxing and charging was no issue but once the vacuuming began it quickly went downhill since I couldn’t finish the job. On REGULAR mode only, I could not vacuum <1,400 sq ft. I have been trying to race through my space before it dies which compromises pick up/ performance.

It does not last anywhere close to the 40 min referenced for the “hand vac” which was important to me. Again, this is on the regular mode. It dies even quicker (a lot quicker) if you amp it up in high traffic areas.

The vacuum itself does a decent job but not a $300 job. I may have an item that’s a bad apple but I will never know since the 14 day return/exchange period has passed and I am not “elite” to my knowledge.

Apparently that status allows for greater grace on returns, exchanges or support. I did purchase the warranty but at <30 days post purchase with limited exchange>

A second battery would make a difference but a singular strong battery would have been preferred. There are positives to this vacuum but the whole package just isn’t worth >$300. The top heavy design (many are like this) is terrible in my opinion, the battery is very disappointing and the noise would have friends (or mom for example) thinking the vacuum was anything but new based on how loud it is,.

I moved into a new place with dark carpet, as soon as I moved the stick vacuum battery started to fail. I had also just brought a cat. I did a month of researching while waiting for the finances to build back up.

I knew I didn’t want to buy a vacuum for the name but I was looking at a meile. I don’t like the price and thought there was just too many bells and whistles just for what I needed. At random I stumbled across the MyHenry webpage in my search.

I read, watched videos, visited a store for a look (my daughter hugged Henry and found it hard to leave empty handed), but I was hooked and liked what I saw. The hardest part was choosing between petcare and allergy, my daughter has allergies but by doing the research I noticed the only difference was the filters, which are replaceable and interchangeable.

My daughter wanted a green vacuum so I chose petcare and we love it! First time use, I had one room that was long awaiting a vacuum. Henry was easy to set up from the box, after quick set up I took him to the “hidden room” and he picked up about a months worth of cat hair, dust, tracking from shoes and even cheerios that my daughter had just dropped.

We dusted the high ceiling and fans. My home felt brand new again. I highly recommend the Henry product range! My daughter has the toy version and when she can’t have my vacuum she zips around with her’s.

I bought this vacuum specifically because I have a bad lower back and there is fur and dust everywhere in my house and it has not disappointed. The attachments are GREAT, super easy to switch between them and it cleans really well.

Also the long cord and wheels means I can plug it in once and vacuum several different rooms through the house. The price can be a little off putting but compared to similar quality canister vacuums, it’s not that bad.

I’ve had other brands people claimed were good and within six months they lost suction or needed repairs. This is super simple, the bags are easier to change than emptying a canister. Love love love it.

No notes for improvement.

Pros: I’ve bought two vacuum cleaners over the past 3 years and thought it was time to try a Henry. No regrets. Absolutely amazing and exactly how a vacuum cleaner should work. Cons: Not necessarily a bad point but a bit awkward to store away with the hose sticking out even when in it’s holder.

I’m not sure there’s much that can be done about this but if they brainstorm a newer design to solve without losing performance then brilliant!!.
