Shark - UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ Cordless Handheld Vacuum

I got a Hoto vacuum but it developed a problem where the vacuum cup attachment would not twist on and stay on the body. However their customer service (after I sent them a video of the problem) is good and they sent me a brand new full unit even though they could have just sent me the attachment. I also bought a Shark handvac in the mean time and that works very well too.

I don't think they are a known vacuum brand. They make a variety of tools. I have their screwdriver too. [https://hototools.com](https://hototools.com) This is what I have. [https://hototools.com/products/compressed-air-capsule](https://hototools.com/products/compressed-air-capsule) The hoto is compact so I was keeping it with my coffee gear. I bought the Shark Wandvac as soon as the Hoto broke and while I was interacting with Hoto's customer service. The Shark works fine and has a bigger chamber. The draw back of the Shark is I can't just leave it with my coffee stuff in the kitchen and it uses a special cradle to charge. The Hoto charges over USB-C. The Hoto also works as a blower so you can attach a bunch of nozzles it comes with on the opposite end to blow out stuff or inflate flotation devices etc. Suction wise both are the same. I haven't even opened the new Hoto package and it has been a few months.

I have a few Shark vacuums... powered lift away for big stuff and two ultracyclone pet pro hand vacuums for smaller stuff. I've tried others and my big one has been working well for over 10 years! The two hand vacuums, well I have two because the batteries don't last for long but they work well otherwise. Hence why I have two.

Two adults with long hair and two cats with long hair in this house and the shark one for animals does brilliantly. Never gets clogged like all my previous hoovers did and it came with two batteries so I can just switch them out without having to stop and wait for one to charge.

We had the Dyson Ball vacuum (corded) and absolutely hated it. It worked terrible, was heavy and just wasn't good. We did regular maintenance on it too. It just was crap. Since then, we've replaced it with shark vacs. We keep one on each floor of the house so we don't have to continually carry them up and down stairs. They work great. I also recently got a handheld cordless shark vac and it is AWESOME. We have some awkward spaces in our home that a vacuum never really fit in so the cordless hand vac does the job. With 4 cat, I vacuum regularly. I use a Fuller hoky (manual sweeper) daily and it works great too!

We have a shark and it clearly picks up a lot because I have to empty it every time I use it.  Only get about twenty minutes off it though but it's only £50 or so.

Welcome - it works pretty well considering the price and size of it !

Check out thrift stores. I found Shark rechargeable hand held for $5 that works great.

Yeh best one I have found for pets especially cat hair, has to be the pet friendly Shark. Had mine for 5 years no which is the longest I have owned a vacuum cleaner, they normally burn out within 2 yrs but the Shark has proven to be the best

I'm in a similar home and have 2 cats, one of which I'm surprised isn't bald from how much he sheds. I've got a Shark cordless pet whatever and it tucks away easily, is light and cleans up everything without any issues. The battery lasts several full cleans of the flat before I have to charge it. It's not the cheapest vacuum but it's miles better than any of the ones I've used before at my parents house and definitely beats Dyson vacuums. It's easy to dismantle and clean each part, too. It's not very loud, which is something I was very mindful of when I bought it. If I have to quickly turn it on at midnight because the cat knocked something over, I don't feel like I'll be waking up the entire block around me.

Cordless is great if you can get a good battery. The shark pet hand vacuum at Target- $100. Worked great for us in our 900sqft townhouse with two cats. You can wash the filter and reuse it, no need for replacement pieces. I killed it when I ran it after cleaning it and forgetting to pull the filter out to dry, so don’t forget about it! Another option to keep an eye on- Dyson refurbished models. We got the V8 with a ton of accessories for $179. It’s been amazing, though we are in a larger home with a 1 year old so we knew we needed more help.

I find myself using my Shark Pet cordless way more than the Sebo canister these days. It’s convenient, not too heavy and maneuvers well.
