Pros & cons

Black+Decker POWERSERIES Extreme Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum

  • Bigger 750ml dustbin than the base BSV2020G's 650ml
  • Interchangeable floorhead with LED lighting for spotting debris in dim rooms
  • Anti-tangle rubber-bristle brush bar aimed at pet hair
  • Converts to a handheld for stairs, furniture, and car interiors
  • 3-speed control and a twist-to-clean filter
  • 2-year limited warranty
  • Nearly double the price of the base Powerseries Extreme for a bigger bin and extra accessories
  • 55-minute runtime figure is almost certainly a low-speed/brush-off rating, not real-world use
  • No motor-driven pet tool — the brush bar is the same anti-tangle design as the non-Pet model
  • True weight is unclear — manufacturer figure looks inflated and Amazon's own listing is unreliable

Shark Detect Pro PowerFins Cordless

  • 5-year warranty on the vacuum plus a separately-covered 2-year replaceable battery
  • Owners report the PowerFins brushroll has stayed tangle-free after a year of regular use
  • Lightweight 6-lb body matches the easier-to-swing IW1111
  • Converts to a handheld for stairs, car interiors, and upholstery
  • HEPA filtration on a sub-$200 machine
  • Only one detect sensor (DirtDetect) vs. the IW1111's four — no EdgeDetect or LightDetect
  • Shark has not published a dustbin capacity figure for this model
  • 40-minute Eco runtime shrinks quickly once auto-boost kicks in on carpet
  • Frequently priced close to the better-equipped IW1111, so check current pricing before buying
