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 PetHair Eraser DualBrush Upright Vacuum

  • DualBrush design covers carpet and hard floors without swapping heads
  • HEPA Sealed Allergen System
  • Self-cleaning FurGuard brush roll reduces hair-wrap maintenance
  • FurFinder LED headlights for spotting hidden fur
  • SurfaceSense auto-adjusts brush speed by floor type
  • Lift-Off pod detaches for stairs and furniture
  • Dust tank capacity and cleaning path width aren't published by the retailer
  • Only a 6-foot cord - short for an upright, expect to switch outlets often
  • 17 lbs is heavy, especially carrying the Lift-Off pod up stairs
  • 2-year warranty is shorter than cheaper models in the same lineup
  • No suction figure published
