Amazingly Versatile
One of the most important aspects of an upright vacuum cleaner is its versatility. Vacuums are made primarily for carpeted floors, but it is more than just carpeted floors that need to be cleaned. Other areas, such as furniture, curtains, hardwood floors, and other parts of a home can all benefit greatly from having a vacuum cleaner that is able to clean them. A vacuum with such versatility is simply a great addition to any home.
The Shark NV752 Rotator Powered Lift-Away TruePet Upright Vacuum is one such vacuum that offers a high degree of versatility. Thanks to its many attachments and modes, this vacuum is able to clean areas that many other vacuums can only dream of.
One aspect of this vacuum that contributes to its high degree of versatility is its Powered Lift-Away feature. This allows the main canister of the vacuum to be removed from the upright body of the vacuum, and can be easily carried with you. Thanks to this you have the ability to easily clean areas that are harder to reach for a regular vacuum, such as stairs, underneath furniture, and upholstery. The included Under Appliance Wand also allows for cleaning underneath low-sitting appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines.
Powerful and Easy to Use
The high versatility of this vacuum is aided greatly by many of the additional features that are included. For instance, the Dynamic Swivel Steering allows for flexibility of the cleaning head of the main body, making it easy for you to turn the vacuum around corners or furniture. The fingertip controls allow for easy operation of the vacuum, giving you everything you need within easy reach of your fingers. Powerful LED lights are also included on the front of both the main body head and the Lift Away, allowing for easy cleaning in dark areas. There are even lights on the handle, giving you the ability to use the vacuum even in the dark.
The performance of this vacuum is also nothing to sneer at. The powerful 9.5 A motor gives plenty of power to both the brush and the suction capability, allowing for pet hair and dirt to be easily lifted from any surface. It is even well performing on hard floors, ensuring that all dirt and hair is suctioned into the vacuum instead of being scattered about. This is aided greatly by the Anti-Allergen Complete Seal Technology along with the HEPA filter, which ensures that all dirt and dust are swept into the vacuum, and preventing stray dust from being scattered into the air.
With the powerful combination of these features along with its versatility, this vacuum should give anyone a powerful tool for cleaning their home.

However, anyone who has owned a pet for any length of time knows how truly difficult it can be for any vacuum to do it.

Perfect for Large Homes
Those who have large homes are probably well aware of the shortcoming of most vacuum cleaners when it comes to using them throughout the house. Many vacuum cleaners, especially modern ones, tend to come with small capacity dust cups or lint bags that hold very little dirt and debris in them, often necessitating them to be emptied more than once throughout the course of cleaning. This problem is doubly so for those with pets, as the amount of pet hair and dirt that they leave behind is often tremendous, the full capacity of which is often not realized until it's time to clean the home. With all of the different vacuums that are geared towards cleaning up after pets, it's surprising that more of them don't offer larger capacity dust cups that are up to the job.
The Shark ZU62 Pet Pro Upright Vacuum is one such model that doesn't have this problem. The 3XL Dust Cup boasts an amazing capacity of as much as 89.7 oz (2.8 Qts): you can operate the vacuum cleaner to clean large rooms without having to stop to empty the container. In addition, the 12 foot hose allows you to easily reach difficult places, so pet hair will no longer escape you by hiding in corners or underneath or behind furniture. You can easily vacuum every square inch of the house with this tool.
Ergonomic and User Friendly
Many people refuse to buy powerful upright vacuums due to the massive construction and poor handling that is far too often typical of these types of vacuums, but this model is an exception. Thanks to the ergonomic Swivel Steering, you can easily move the device around the house without getting tired. In fact, this vacuum is an absolute breeze to maneuver around in comparison to most other upright models, so those who often find vacuuming to be an unpleasant chore will be pleasantly surprised at how easy this process is with this vacuum.
Plenty of other features are packed into this upright vacuum as well. For instance, the Zero-M self-cleaning brush roll constantly cleans hair from the vacuum's rollers while in use, preventing the hair from tangling and interfering with the operation of the device. Also, the anti-allergen complete seal technology along with the HEPA filter prevents allergens from getting kicked up into the air, sealing them away inside of the vacuum instead of scattering them around the room.
At the end of the day, anyone who has a large house with pets will find this upright vacuum from Shark to be the most suitable tool for keeping a healthy and clean home for everyone.

Pet Hair Be Gone!
Many vacuums that are advertised as being ideal for cleaning pet hair tend to not be quite so effective at that task. Pet hair, after all, can be quite stubborn to clean out of any carpet. However, there is one model that is certainly up to the task. The Bissel CleanView 2252 is a great choice for homes with pets. It boasts good suction power, special pet attachments, excellent air filtration, and a versatile main cleaner head. Overall, it's a well-balanced model to be used as the main vacuum for cleaning most kinds of floors, and is effective enough to be used in any home, not just those with pets.
Clear Dust Collector
Speaking of the dustcup, this model offers a clear view of the contents of it, which lets you easily keep an eye on how full it is. This will be especially appreciated as the 33.8-oz capacity of this model is the smallest of all the products we review here, so it will need to be changed frequently. Thankfully, this can be easily done in just seconds, and all without the worry of the contents being scattered about.
One of the best features of this vacuum is its long 27-foot cord, which gives you plenty of room for maneuvering around freely without getting yourself tangled up with it. Furthermore, the long cord length lets you vacuum a larger area without having to change power outlets. Whenever you do need to move the vacuum to another room, the auto-roll system will automatically wind up the cord for you, helping to save a lot of time.

Maximum Performance
Hoover is one of the most trusted brands in America, which has been designing powerful and easy-to-use vacuums for more than 110 years by now. Hoover offers a comprehensive line of special-purpose vacuums, full-size uprights, canisters, deep cleaners, and hard-floor cleaners. The model under review, the WindTunnel 3 Max, is currently the best model in its bagless upright vacuum lineup.
It's a sub-$200 vacuum that brings good results for the price. Created with the latest Wind tunnel 3 technology, it's extremely powerful to take on everyday messes as well as stubborn debris from carpets and hard floors. The powerful automatic suction effectively captures embedded dirt, dust, and pet hair.
Made With Pets In Mind
Featuring a 40-foot cord, the vacuum provides a generous lead enabling you to clean a large room or even two smaller rooms without switching the plugs. You can also select whether you want to use the whole unit to clean floors or just use the tools with the hose for detailing. If you select the tools, the hose and its nozzle will easily unlock from the body at the touch of a button. The extension hose is 12 feet long, which is a bit more when compared to similar models.
Speaking about extra attachments, the vacuum is fitted with a pivoting dusting tool, Pet Turbo tool, telescoping extension wand, and crevice tool. The pivoting dusting tool is, perhaps, better suited for delicate upholstery and furniture surfaces, while the turbo tool with rubberized blades is able to scrape stubborn pet hair from stairs. It really picks up lots of pet hair with no clumps of hair left behind.

What Is a Vacuum for Pet Hair?
Did you know that pet hair is the most common trigger of indoor allergies? And if you often experience a runny nose, red eyes, sneezing and some other symptoms, you might probably suffer from allergy to pet fur. So, if you need the best vacuum to clean up after your lovely pets, you're at the right place. Good vacuums for pet hair are usually much more powerful and maneuverable than regular vacs. Boasting super-strong suction, these vacuums can easily clean your house from pet hair, dander, fur and other sources of dust, dirt, and allergens. They are usually equipped with additional nozzles for pet hair removal and filters that lock in the finest particles. Like usual vacuums, they come in different shapes and sizes. In this review, we compare some of the best canister vacuums, upright vacuums, and handheld vacuums for dog hair. And no matter whether you want to get rid of retriever hair or toy terrier hair, you'll find a suitable option here. So, keep on reading and take your pick to manage that extra hair in your house.
To make caring for the hair of your furry friend a bit easier, we recommend pet owners to consider the best dog shampoos and hair trimmers. And to make the walks with your pet mess-free, you might be interested in waste bags and pooper scoopers.
What Features to Compare
Not all vacuum cleaners are the same, which is something that all who have used various vacuum cleaners before can attest to. This is especially true of vacuum cleaners that are geared towards cleaning up pet hair, as these vacuums often contain features and capabilities that you just won't find on other models. If you are looking for your first vacuum for pet hair and you're not sure exactly what to look for, the following characteristics and features should give you a good idea of their capabilities, letting you choose the best vacuum for pet hair for your home.
Type and Cleaning
The type and cleaning methods of any pet vacuum will be important to consider, but when looking through the models here, you'll find that all of them share these same characteristics. All of the models that we review here are upright vacuums with dry cleaning methods, so there won't be any variance in those that you see in this review.
Tank Capacity
Outside of that, many of the other characteristics can vary greatly. One such is the tank capacity, which shows the total capacity of the dust cup included with each vacuum. Those who have larger homes and often find their regular vacuum cleaners needing to be emptied constantly will probably want to find a model with a large tank capacity to help avoid this inconvenience.
Power and Power Source
The power and power source of a vacuum are both very important considerations. The power source indicates where the vacuum draws its power from, and the power of a vacuum shows how strong it is. Most of the models in this review are pretty close to each other in both of these characteristics, but it is always good to be aware of them regardless.
Brush
The brush of any vacuum cleaner is one of the most important characteristics to consider, as this shows how the vacuum is able to loosen and pry hair and debris from a carpet. All of the models here have brushes that are geared towards removing pet hair, and many will also include various attachments for cleaning hard to reach areas.
Conveniences
Where most of the vacuums reviewed here will differ the most are in the various conveniences that are included with each model. Many of these conveniences will have to do with the way the vacuum operates, such as providing better maneuverability for the vacuum, or even in its various methods of cleaning. Most of the vacuums also include some kind of filter that helps prevent allergens from being kicked up into the air, a common problem with regular vacuum cleaners when used in a home with pets. Whichever conveniences you want your vacuum to have, it is always best to check to make sure they are included in the model you choose.
