Pros & cons

Black+Decker dustbuster AdvancedClean+ Cordless Handheld Vacuum

  • ✓Large 750ml dustbin for a compact handheld
  • ✓Two-speed motor with a Power Boost button for stuck-on messes
  • ✓Washable filter and pre-filter — no replacement filter costs
  • ✓Battery-level indicator shows remaining runtime at a glance
  • ✓One-touch, no-touch dustbin emptying
  • ✓2-year limited warranty
  • ✗No motorized brush — not a real pet-hair tool despite the AdvancedClean+ branding
  • ✗25-minute runtime is on the shorter side for the category
  • ✗Manufacturer and retailer weight listings disagree, so true weight is unclear
  • ✗No app or smart features (typical for this category, but worth knowing)

Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ Cordless Handheld

  • ✓Genuine motorized, self-cleaning pet power brush
  • ✓Independent testing measured 14.7 minutes of runtime, beating Shark's own 10-minute rating
  • ✓Dual cyclonic design avoids the clogging issues of older single-stage handhelds
  • ✓Slim body reaches into tight car and upholstery gaps well
  • ✓2-year warranty and a well-established, still-current product line
  • ✗0.47L dust cup is on the smaller side for a pet-focused tool
  • ✗No onboard storage mount for the crevice and scrubbing tools — easy to lose them
  • ✗At 2.8 lbs, noticeably heavier than the Wandvac handhelds
  • ✗Embedded pet hair on upholstery needs multiple passes even with the motorized brush
  • ✗Older dual-cyclonic motor design compared to Shark's newer brushless handhelds
