Pros & cons

Hoover WindTunnel All-Terrain

  • Dual brushroll system finally makes a WindTunnel good on hard floors
  • Costs $100-150 less than comparable Shark and Dyson uprights
  • Two-speed brushroll and strong direct suction on carpet
  • 30 ft cord and 7 ft hose give big cleaning reach
  • LED headlights and 1.5 L easy-empty dirt cup
  • 5-year limited warranty
  • No lift-away pod — stairs mean carrying the whole 16 lb machine
  • Not a fully sealed HEPA system like Shark's Anti-Allergen uprights
  • Filter is a 12-month replaceable, not lifetime washable
  • No automatic floor-type sensing
  • Bulky to store

Bissell CleanView Max FurGuard Lift-Off Upright Vacuum

  • HEPA Sealed Allergen System, rated to trap 99.97% of dust and dander
  • Self-cleaning brush roll targets hair wrap, the main upright failure point
  • XL 1.25 L tank means fewer trips to the trash
  • Lift-Off detachable pod for stairs and furniture
  • LED headlights for spotting hidden debris
  • 5-year limited warranty is long for a sub-$200 upright
  • No suction figure published, so you can't compare it numerically to rivals
  • 15.7 lbs is heavy to carry up and down stairs in Lift-Off mode
  • Single documented speed setting
  • 25-foot cord, no cordless option on this model
