“Pet vacuum” doesn’t tell you enough.

01 · Does it clean your rugs?

The Tineco FLOOR ONE S5 is a hard-floor washer. Tineco says it cannot clean carpet. If you need one machine for both your rugs and hard floors, that rules this model out.

02 · What does “up to 50 minutes” mean?

For the Shark PowerPro Pet IZ373H, Shark measures its 50-minute claim at the hand vacuum in standard mode. That isn’t a promise of 50 minutes cleaning floors with the floorhead attached.

When comparing cordless models, look for the attachment and power setting beside the runtime claim.

03 · Will you carry it upstairs?

The Shark ZU102 is a corded upright weighing 15.19 lb according to Shark. It is listed for carpets and floors. If cordless use or a light machine is essential, keep looking.
