I am SO glad you embedded the pet hair in the carpet *really* good. I'm so tired of seeing the qvc style "we sprinkled some blobs of hair on the floor oh WWOOOOWW look how great it picks it up!!!" tests
I had to stop by this video months and months later to say Thank You for the thorough reviews you do!! I got the Shark Zero M largely because of your review, and I couldn't be more pleased. My roommate and I love this vacuum so damn much, we named her Phyllis, and we regularly say she's our favorite roommate. She's the best thing to ever happen to my allergies and my house!!
Right?! I LOVE my Shark Zero M. We have shedding dogs and a long hair cat. I vacuum EVERY DAY. We have tiled floors and rugs. My sister has the Dyson V8 and thing is useless. Her battery only lasts for doing one or two rooms and things get stuck/clogged constantly and the canister is too small and the battery takes forever to charge.
@@andrewdonohue1853I would have to strongly disagree with you on this subject. I’ve owned several different brands, including Dyson, and I after owning a shark I will never go back to any other brand until they significantly improve beyond what shark has produced. If you’re going to purchase one, you should definitely spend the extra money for a top tier model though
I’ve suffered severely from allergies and was never able to truly clean my floor from fine dust and cat hairs. This changed the day I bought the Shark Apex. Truly one of the best vacuums I’ve ever had.
We love ours. Really no complaints except for the hose- it’s not long enough and it is too stiff. We love the power, attachments, cord length, floor type selector, light on the handle, floor lights, swivel, brush rolls, etc.
I have been using my bigger Shark with the zero m head for cleaning houses, and I watched the hair slowly get taken off of the brush roll the other day 😂 it was very satisfying to watch
The best vacuum channel hands down!! You inspired me to get the Shark Apex. It works great throughout our hardwood floors! Gotta love the fuzzy roller.
Yes this vacuum is worth the investment try to get every attachment for it if its in your budget there's a few new attachments available on website and they have added to my cleaning power. Hands down best vacuum I've owned it leaves my hardwood shinny like its been buffed.. Its an upright/ canister all in one perfect for a full house cleaning vs a bulky over hyped Dyson I once owned.. 🙄 That thing was just uncessarly bulky and I couldn't even get under the highest coffee tables with that thing. 😡
I bought my used Apex for ALL hair. My wife's and cats'. Over 18" long human hair and ultra fine long cat hair. You don't realize how much is in the carpet until you empty the bin. The top part of the bin separates larger heavy objects like screws. Yes, I was curious if it would pick up some concrete screws I dropped on the floor.
Lmao I think my hair exists more than my shedding critters's fur. ( I've got hair down to middle of back) I'm always cutting mine out of the brushes. At my boyfriend's we use sticky backed labels as a pre sweep for my hair lol.
I recently purchased a Shark Rotator Powered lift away with Zero M. I absolutely love it! I have long hair down to my waist & 2 cats (one maincoon that sheds more hair than I do). I was astonished at how well this vacuum works!! It picked up twice as much as my old cheap vacuum & the room smells clean afterwards! I'm in love & I appreciate your videos! Thank you 😊
my shark rotator professional (white and red) is a beast. it’s held up against 2 German Shepherds, one is a long hair shepherd. and i live in a farmhouse with 3 boys. it’s a great vacuum!
Purchased Shark Apex Zero M based on your recommendations almost a year ago. The vacuum is amazing. I don’t see enough of a difference in the vertex to upgrade at this point.
The Shark ZU62 is the latest Navigator Pet with Zero-M. A cheaper option is the ZU60, a Walmart-only model. It's nearly identical but comes with 2 instead of 3 tools, and the tools look of lesser quality. BUT, if you only care about the performance, the 3X dust cup, and the zero-m tech it can be had for a 229 every-day price.
I just bought the shark rotator ZU620 after my 11 year old Hoover suction valve broke. I’m a dog groomer and I’m impressed and obsessed with vacuuming now! I use to get out a broom for the hardwood but now it’s easier and cleaner with the vacuum!
My mother had the purple shark. Honestly, I'd recommend this vacuum based purely on its performance after how my mother treats it. She's had it I'd guess for over five years and it's been emptied maybe five times, mostly by me. She never cleans it's, never de hairs the rollar. But the machine is just as powerful as when it came out the box. I'm really impressed with how long and well the vacuum has worked and if my lazy cow mother actually cleaned it once a year it'd be even more powerful
I bought my Shark apex Duo clean based on its performance in vacuum wars testing and I was so excited to see it do well in this round, especially since hair and hardwood is my biggest battle. This is the housewife content I need 🤣
You are the project farm TH-camr of vacuums specifically, I am receiving so much extreme valuable information from you regarding these vacuums, it's what we all use in our homes on a daily basis at least for myself. Having four pets and plenty of hair that needs cleaning up after the end of the day this is valuable information. Currently watching your videos to find the best option regarding pet hair, I have 90% hard floors and the rest is carpeted, but can't really afford anything over $500, so you are my go to vacuum guy! Thank you for your product information
Purchased a shark vertex thanks to your excellent testing and content. I’m disappointed to say after 11 months of use in a home with 2 dogs and kids the front roller stopped working and Shark has informed me that this part isn’t covered under warranty and would cost over $125 with shipping to replace. While your testing and review are spot on I felt you should know that this happened to round out your knowledge. Keep up the great content.
With 3 long-haired dogs the pet hair is out of control around here and our 16 year old Dyson Animal wasn’t cuttin it anymore. Based on your excellent demonstration and thorough review we ordered the Shark Vertex. Fantastic on pet hair on hardwood, tile, and marble floors. Exceptional.
The real test is will hair get stuck in the brush roll caps or in the bearings. Does hair clog up the shroud, cyclone or filters. Or does hair get stuck in the bin and require reaching up and pulling it out. Hair on the brush is the least of your worries and easy to remove. I have had more than one vacuum that did great on hair but I later found hair clogging up the brush roll caps and bearings. Or a filter and cyclone clogged up with pet hair. Plus how well the machine does on surface hair is insignificant compared to how it does on deep down hair embedded in carpet fibers.
My dog has 1 to 1 1/2in stiffer short hair that seems to weave itself in the rugs and a couch. Have a Shark and it cannot get these hairs especially on the couch. Their hoses are like using exercise bands, you have to hold the unit with one hand and pull the attachment to the floor or furniture its quite the workout and makes using it even more a chore.
Exactly, I'm sweating bullets by the time I get done vacuuming area rug and front of loveseat with this shark rotator. Makes me question WHY I got this dog...(jk, keeping him, looking for better vacuum. 🙄)
Just so you know as a pet owner I am a fan of Shark. However when I bought the zero M duo the one with orange roller and yellow center roller it will bind up in dog hair eventually. That duo roller in front is awful on carpet. Yes you have to remove it and clean the fur from the mount areas but I have now had a problem with center roller. I'm guessing I will have to completely take it apart to get to the center one but it is now binded in hair and I know it's around where it mounts to side of vacuum. I like my Shark rotator better for carpet and pet hair. Same with my Shark robot but still works great.
Shark navigator zero is really good. I have 3 cats and live in dusty Texas. The Navigator and the Bissel revolution pet work really well together. I withheld my upvote until I had some uses with the navigator and just came back to show my approval. Good stuff my man.
I've had multiple vacuums over the years including my trusty old 1983 Rainbow D3C and I'm back to only using the Rainbow. It's the last one standing and it works the best. We have multiple cats and clean carpet. Edit: If your long human hair is falling out in clumps, you have a bigger problem than finding a good vacuum cleaner.
I really appreciate these tests and reviews. The thoroughness and consistency is trust-worthy and results in useful informaton that’s applicable to real-world issues! So glad I found this channel before buying my next vacuum.
I love love love my Shark Apex Duoclean! I'm glad you mentioned needing to clean between the rollers, though; in a heavy pet hair environment, it gets trapped in there and actually felts.
I own a Bissell Clearview vacuum that I purchased at Sam’s Club on sale for $80. It is currently the highest rated affordable vacuum ($100 and under) on Amazon and elsewhere. The first one I purchased broke within the first month of ownership. The bristles/brush abruptly quit spinning. Not at all surprising considering I used it to vacuum a restaurant floor five nights a week. A floor which often wet, damp, and/or often littered with little pieces of food (corn, green beans, etc) I had my second one now about six months and believe I found the problem. I believe I was vacuuming too low on the first one. I returned and replaced the first one after it broke and raised the vacuum height to 3/4 from the 1/2 I used on the first vacuum and it seems to have solved the problem.
Bought the Shark Navigator based on this review. Was very tempted by the Vertex, but as my house is mostly carpet, I thought it would be better to save the money and go with the one better for that. Love it. Legitimately the best vacuum I've ever owned.
You are so detailed absolutely straight-forward and extremely helpful! Such an Under-rated channel in my opinion (and I literally just finished watching this video, the first video I've watched of yours... So far)! Needless to say, ya got another subscriber. Thank you so much for your well-planned out test and overall suggestions!
After binge watching some of your videos this morning, I have mixed emotions. I’m 1. Glad that I somehow managed to own your number one “cheap” recommendation, but 2. I now want to include a vacuum on my list for our new house because some of these are really just impressive, specifically for the aspect of them making the amount of dust in my home so much better
I got a vertex and its legit good af. I had a rug in my house that never got completely "clean" with my regular shark power lift. But with my new vertex the rug is spotless
I just bought the vertex because my dyson animal was not getting my Shiite dig hair out of rugs after multiple passes. While I was totally shocked and impressed by the vertex my arm is now killing me from vacuuming on rugs.
Great info! The scientific style is appreciated! Given the Shark Navigator Zero M cleared long hair on its own here, it might be nice to add a “hair self clearing” opportunity for all vacuums. Believe I’ve seen some videos that illustrate some of the newer brush heads doing this self clearing. Thanks!
I don't know if there's any place to find this one, but the best pet vacuum I know is the electrolux ultraflex bagless canister vacuum. What makes it so good is how well it cleans up litter, even from litter mats and grout cracks, and it being absolutely incredible on both hard floor and carpets. I had a shark navigator lift-away and struggled with it, but this baby saved me. Also, unlike the navigator, it can get under any furniture... which is a big deal if you're dealing with pet dander.
Thank you for this great comparison! My bissel pet hair eraser broke a few days ago after about 5 years of use and I'm now in the market for a new vacuum! I was surprised to see the Bissel still on this list all these years later but I guess it's overall a good vacuum. That blind spot due to the belt is extremely annoying though so I do think I will be trying a Shark this time around!
Shark have a new rotator with the new duo clean lift away technology (Shark® Rotator® Lift-Away® ADV Upright Vacuum with DuoClean® PowerFins™ and Self-Cleaning Brushroll) is more affordable, how does this compare to the vertex? my house is full tile floors
Would you consider doing a review set focused on usability and health for people who are sickly? I have been watching your videos for a couple of months, digging through piles of vacuums and I'm just exhausted because it seems like there is nothing that is light enough and easy enough for someone with my lack of strength while also being good at avoiding allergen spreading and decent anti tangle, but it is hard to tell since no one goes into the usability details very much. A video that goes over usability in detail with attention to use by people with generalized weakness, hand/wrist weakness and arthritis and only looks at vacuums with good seals I think would be really helpful for many people.
Thank you for your suggestion and for sharing your experience! I'm adding this to our idea list. In the meantime, have you looked at the Shark Navigator® Speed Upright Vacuum with Lift-Away® & Self-Cleaning Brushroll or a one of the Robot Vacuums with a self emptying bin? Those may be helpful.

i have the new shark cordless vertex powerfins , a dyson v11 and thanks to you ,the new lupe arrives via dhl any minute now, only took 3 days to get to maryland from the uk! thanks and keep up the good work!
Let us know how the Lupe works out. I have been thinking about getting it also. Just that at nearly $700 it’s been hard to pull the trigger so to speak.
Thank you so much!!! I was about to buy the turbo bissell and I’m using it for furniture and laminate flooring. This video saved me a bad purchase!!!!! THANK YOU
I’ve had mixed results with Sharks Zero-M heads. As far as hair, yeah sure it’s great, but my household has younger kids with little toys(legos) and other small random bits. Objects that are about 1/4” in diameter constantly get stuck in the head. So, long story short I find myself maintaining the “Zero-maintenance” head much more often than would be considered normal.
@@Firstfalconfree Yeah, we’ve got a model ZU632, and it is great for carpet and hard floors alike, but 4 out of 5 times I use it I’m opening up the head(which is easy with a coin) to fish something out. Small legos, paper clip, etc. Little things that the Kirby would eat, never to be seen again.
Your a SHARK homer for GREAT reason. Them DYSON BOYS are simply hard to beat in REAL WORLD situations, (NOT SO EXTREME SITUATIONS). I personally love how you nerd out with the details and data. good show. Yes, I have OWNED ALL of these guys personally, DYSON IS BOOMING. SHARK is RIGHT next. everything else outside of EXPENSIVE HEAVY DUTY, HIGH SUCTION PRO VACUUMS is LAST place. Keep up the awesome work. PEOPLE, PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILED DATA.
thank you for this video, my hair is over 27 inches long so definitely need a great vacuum that won't get the hairs stuck on the bristle. thank you for your video.
Between the three Shark models that you recommend, which do you feel does the best overall job for a near even mix of hard floor vs carpet? We are planning on removing all carpet but that is about another 1-2 years out. Right now, we need pet fuzz and super long human hair angst control.
Im not really sure of a bagged vacuum that has made a claim about hair tangling, which was the point of this particular video. There might be, let me know if you find one.
The best vacuum channel!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm your biggest fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a nice day!
Had the Virtex for a year or more now and haven't got ANY hair on the roller. My NV752 had a small dog worth of my wife hair wrapped around the roller ever month.
I've used several since finding thwem at apartment I work at . Just now used Bissell powerforce helix vacuum without proper filer it was ,missing . used old cleaning cloth and picked up a hefty amount of dust bunnies crap almost half a foot measuring from bottom of cannister . Every vacuum I'use dworker good enough my two cents
If anyone needs cat hair for scientific purposes, I'd be glad to help out! My biggest boy gets a thorough furminator brushing every season and I come away with over 10 handfuls of fur off him. I give it to my sister; she leaves it out by her bird feeders so birds will take it for their nests 🙂
I have pets, from shorthair to longhair. And I myself have hair down to my butt. The most problematic for vacuums is the long hair, in my experience, as it clogs the brush rolls. With the short hair, none of my vacuums ever had an issue.

I am SO glad you embedded the pet hair in the carpet *really* good. I'm so tired of seeing the qvc style "we sprinkled some blobs of hair on the floor oh WWOOOOWW look how great it picks it up!!!" tests
😂
LOOK OMG the small bloB of hair we just sprinkled on hardwood floors got picked up 🤩
It's satisfying to watch if the ad is background noise but when you're actually looking for a vacuum, you want reality
Ikr get tired of seeing those commercials where the hair looks like it’s gently resting on the surface and gets vacuumed up with ease.
Me too
I had to stop by this video months and months later to say Thank You for the thorough reviews you do!! I got the Shark Zero M largely because of your review, and I couldn't be more pleased. My roommate and I love this vacuum so damn much, we named her Phyllis, and we regularly say she's our favorite roommate. She's the best thing to ever happen to my allergies and my house!!
Thank you so much!
Right?! I LOVE my Shark Zero M. We have shedding dogs and a long hair cat. I vacuum EVERY DAY. We have tiled floors and rugs. My sister has the Dyson V8 and thing is useless. Her battery only lasts for doing one or two rooms and things get stuck/clogged constantly and the canister is too small and the battery takes forever to charge.
We named her Phyllis 😂
Did you get the Navigator Zero M or the Apex Zero M?
Do you happen to know how much the shark zero M weighs?
Thank you for mentioning your consulting work with Shark. It is important that consumers are aware of any potential conflicts of interest.
its a complete conflict of interest. he will never mention how shark is absolute crap made out the cheapest chinasium money can buy
@@andrewdonohue1853I would have to strongly disagree with you on this subject.

I am here because my shark vacuum is the worst vacuum I’ve ever seen and am fed up.
@@Vondarkstar which one did you get
I’ve suffered severely from allergies and was never able to truly clean my floor from fine dust and cat hairs. This changed the day I bought the Shark Apex. Truly one of the best vacuums I’ve ever had.
Wonderful!
Don’t buy a bagless if you have allergies. Especially a shark.
We love ours. Really no complaints except for the hose- it’s not long enough and it is too stiff.
We love the power, attachments, cord length, floor type selector, light on the handle, floor lights, swivel, brush rolls, etc.
Pretty cool to see it slowly cleaning the hair off the roller!
Very satisfying

Yes this vacuum is worth the investment try to get every attachment for it if its in your budget there's a few new attachments available on website and they have added to my cleaning power.

...the one that’s best WITH a completely “sealed system” is most important 👍👍👍
and is usable by people with weak hands too, I have run into way to many vacuums that require a man in peak condition to use one part or another.
Just so you know as a pet owner I am a fan of Shark. However when I bought the zero M duo the one with orange roller and yellow center roller it will bind up in dog hair eventually.

I've had multiple vacuums over the years including my trusty old 1983 Rainbow D3C and I'm back to only using the Rainbow. It's the last one standing and it works the best. We have multiple cats and clean carpet. Edit: If your long human hair is falling out in clumps, you have a bigger problem than finding a good vacuum cleaner.

I love love love my Shark Apex Duoclean! I'm glad you mentioned needing to clean between the rollers, though; in a heavy pet hair environment, it gets trapped in there and actually felts.
Genius! The least van be said about this video. This detailed scientific approach is fabulous
I own a Bissell Clearview vacuum that I purchased at Sam’s Club on sale for $80. It is currently the highest rated affordable vacuum ($100 and under) on Amazon and elsewhere. The first one I purchased broke within the first month of ownership. The bristles/brush abruptly quit spinning. Not at all surprising considering I used it to vacuum a restaurant floor five nights a week. A floor which often wet, damp, and/or often littered with little pieces of food (corn, green beans, etc)

What model did you buy? I have both carpet and hardwood, but honestly I am more worried about getting the carpet deep clean.
Excellent video! Good to know about the Bissell but the exhaust blowing everything all over is something I didn't think of!

I was surprised to see the Bissel still on this list all these years later but I guess it's overall a good vacuum. That blind spot due to the belt is extremely annoying though so I do think I will be trying a Shark this time around!
You can’t beat a good vacuum for picking up the dreaded dog hair it gets everywhere 👍👍
Appreciate the amount of effort put into this video. Good work guys
Thanks so much.
Brother thank you and I appreciate the embedded p
Hair tests because anyone can pick shit up that was just dropped. Kudos
Shark have a new rotator with the new duo clean lift away technology (Shark® Rotator® Lift-Away® ADV Upright Vacuum with DuoClean® PowerFins™ and Self-Cleaning Brushroll) is more affordable, how does this compare to the vertex? my house is full tile floors
the best and thorough vacuum analytic video I have ever seen! you are amazing
Glad you think so!
Hi again thanks to your hard work and reviews I've recommended to people to get vacuum you've tested and shown thanks again keep up the good work
Awesome! Thanks!
Bought the Vertex, simply amazing. Cheers
Great to hear!
Hey, can you do a wet dry shop vac review for 2020?
I pick the dyson because it does great with my carpet. The multi floor.
Would you consider doing a review set focused on usability and health for people who are sickly? I have been watching your videos for a couple of months, digging through piles of vacuums and I'm just exhausted because it seems like there is nothing that is light enough and easy enough for someone with my lack of strength while also being good at avoiding allergen spreading and decent anti tangle, but it is hard to tell since no one goes into the usability details very much. A video that goes over usability in detail with attention to use by people with generalized weakness, hand/wrist weakness and arthritis and only looks at vacuums with good seals I think would be really helpful for many people.
Thank you for your suggestion and for sharing your experience! I'm adding this to our idea list. In the meantime, have you looked at the Shark Navigator® Speed Upright Vacuum with Lift-Away® & Self-Cleaning Brushroll or a one of the Robot Vacuums with a self emptying bin? Those may be helpful.

i have the new shark cordless vertex powerfins , a dyson v11 and thanks to you ,the new lupe arrives via dhl any minute now, only took 3 days to get to maryland from the uk! thanks and keep up the good work!
Thanks so much!
How do you like the vertex? I'm torn between the corded and cordless vacuums and can't decide which to buy.
Let us know how the Lupe works out. I have been thinking about getting it also. Just that at nearly $700 it’s been hard to pull the trigger so to speak.
I just tested the cordless Vertex for this week's video and it did really well. (That video will be available today at 4 EST.)

I REALLY LIKE THE CORDLESS ONE, NO CORDS FOR ME
Using longer fibers allows those lime me with super long hair get a better idea of how much our hair would tangle in these
This was so helpful! Can you also test the best cordless upright vacuums?
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm noting that now.
Thank you so much!!! I was about to buy the turbo bissell and I’m using it for furniture and laminate flooring. This video saved me a bad purchase!!!!! THANK YOU
You are so welcome!
Could you do a comparison of the Shark Vertex upright and the Shark Apex upright vacuums?
I’ve had mixed results with Sharks Zero-M heads. As far as hair, yeah sure it’s great, but my household has younger kids with little toys(legos) and other small random bits. Objects that are about 1/4” in diameter constantly get stuck in the head. So, long story short I find myself maintaining the “Zero-maintenance” head much more often than would be considered normal.
Thank you for saying this. It is tough to find one vacuum that works well for both tiny random stuff and animal hair.
@@Firstfalconfree Yeah, we’ve got a model ZU632, and it is great for carpet and hard floors alike, but 4 out of 5 times I use it I’m opening up the head(which is easy with a coin) to fish something out. Small legos, paper clip, etc. Little things that the Kirby would eat, never to be seen again.
Thank you for taking the time to do this! Much appreciated!
My pleasure!
I know I’ve hit peak adulthood because I deliberately searched out this video 😂
Welcome!
I love your videos and your channel! I watch every single one and don’t even really need a new vacuum! Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Will do!
I love your vacuum cleaners testing videos and versus videos.
Thank you!
Your a SHARK homer for GREAT reason. Them DYSON BOYS are simply hard to beat in REAL WORLD situations, (NOT SO EXTREME SITUATIONS).
I personally love how you nerd out with the details and data. good show. Yes, I have OWNED ALL of these guys personally, DYSON IS BOOMING. SHARK is RIGHT next. everything else outside of EXPENSIVE HEAVY DUTY, HIGH SUCTION PRO VACUUMS is LAST place. Keep up the awesome work. PEOPLE, PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILED DATA.
Your channel is a blessing
Thank you.
On the vertex, run the vacuum on the second carpet setting to completely remove the hair every single time after about 5 min.. I love my vertex
Thanks for the tip!
What about cordless handheld vacuums, more reviews about those would be nice...
This video was exactly what I needed and looking for to make my decision on a new vacuum!! Thank you very much 🙌
Glad it was helpful!
Wow! Very insightful video! Made my vacuum shopping so much easier!
Glad it helped!
I do have to say I’m not a big fan of shark I’m more of a fan of Dyson but shark has definitely come along way
thank you for this video, my hair is over 27 inches long so definitely need a great vacuum that won't get the hairs stuck on the bristle. thank you for your video.
You are so welcome!
Bravo!!! Now that is amazing, detailed reviews!! Thank you! Great job!
Thank you kindly!
Thank you for the time and effort you put in this video 🙏
Thanks so much!
I have a shark rotator professional. Best pet hair vacuum I have had yet
Good to hear you are happy with it!
Between the three Shark models that you recommend, which do you feel does the best overall job for a near even mix of hard floor vs carpet? We are planning on removing all carpet but that is about another 1-2 years out. Right now, we need pet fuzz and super long human hair angst control.
I would've liked to see a bagged vacuum included in the video.
dirtdevil7bo same bagged is better everytime I'd never get a bagless
Im not really sure of a bagged vacuum that has made a claim about hair tangling, which was the point of this particular video. There might be, let me know if you find one.
@@VacuumWars Could you review the Neabot?
Me too! I hate bagless.
Congrats for your technical review... really helped me with my purchase decision..
Good to hear. Thank you for watching.
The best vacuum channel!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm your biggest fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a nice day!
Wow, thanks!
The Sebo X4 is great for stubborn pet hair on carpets. Almost identical to Windsor in your intro.
Had the Virtex for a year or more now and haven't got ANY hair on the roller. My NV752 had a small dog worth of my wife hair wrapped around the roller ever month.
Thank you for your honest review!! Very helpful!
right to the points. no fluff. great video bud
Appreciate it!
Can you do an updated video on this? If you feel the results are the same or if some of the new ones work better
As someone with 18 inch hair, I appreciate this.
I've used several since finding thwem at apartment I work at . Just now used Bissell powerforce helix vacuum without proper filer it was ,missing . used old cleaning cloth and picked up a hefty amount of dust bunnies crap almost half a foot measuring from bottom of cannister . Every vacuum I'use dworker good enough my two cents
"So, I need hair. Pet hair and human hair. Various length. And I need a lot."
- "But what for?!"
"For ehm.. scientific research purposes 😐"
😂
If anyone needs cat hair for scientific purposes, I'd be glad to help out! My biggest boy gets a thorough furminator brushing every season and I come away with over 10 handfuls of fur off him. I give it to my sister; she leaves it out by her bird feeders so birds will take it for their nests 🙂
Thank you for this!! Very helpful!
Glad to hear that! thanks!
Thanks this helped a lot with my decision
I would think the real true test would be to try vacuuming short dog hair.
That would be the true test for any brand of vacuum cleaner.
He literally did that in this video...
I have pets, from shorthair to longhair. And I myself have hair down to my butt. The most problematic for vacuums is the long hair, in my experience, as it clogs the brush rolls. With the short hair, none of my vacuums ever had an issue.
@@gmansplit where?
To this day I still dont know why bissell put the belt in the middle.
Can you do a test on the Eureka Floor Rover?
