How to choose

Compare suction figures first

Suction is the first number to compare for carpet. The Uosogi model lists suction up to 55KPa with a Hurricane mode up to 60Kpa, and the SMOTURE model lists suction up to 55KPa. The Shark model pairs DuoClean PowerFins with a self-cleaning brushroll and runs up to 60 minutes.

Match runtime to your cleaning routine

Runtime decides how much floor you cover on one charge. The Uosogi model runs up to 70 minutes, the SMOTURE model runs up to 70 minutes in ECO mode and 15 to 25 minutes in Max mode, and the Shark model runs up to 60 minutes. A removable battery, as on the Shark model, lets you swap in a fresh pack, while the SMOTURE model sells a second battery separately.

Use brush tools for pet hair

Pet hair needs a brush that keeps working as hair builds up. The Shark model has a self-cleaning brushroll for pet hair pickup. The Uosogi model has a V-shaped anti-tangle brush with comb teeth. The SMOTURE model includes a pet brush in its brush set.
