How to choose
Lights for hidden dust
Lights reveal dust in dark corners and under furniture. The SVHT has an LED light with a single bead, and the BLACK+DECKER has LED floorhead lights. Compare light placement with the dark spots you clean, since a light helps only where it shines.
Runtime and dust cups
Runtime sets how long one charge cleans. The Shark runs 40 minutes, the Tikom runs 32 minutes, the Kenmore runs 30 minutes on low mode, the SVHT runs 50 minutes in eco mode, and the BLACK+DECKER runs 40 minutes. Dust cups hold 1.3L on the Tikom, 0.6L on the Kenmore and 1.6L on the SVHT. Match runtime and cup size with the rooms you clean.
Weight, filters and storage
Weight sets how easy the vacuum is to carry. The Shark weighs 6.9 lb, the Tikom weighs 5.5 lb, the Kenmore weighs 6.9 lb, the SVHT weighs 2.7 lb, and the BLACK+DECKER weighs 8 lb. The Shark, Tikom, Kenmore and SVHT use HEPA filtration. For storage, the Shark clips at the base of the wand, the Tikom charges on a wall dock, and the SVHT and BLACK+DECKER stand on their own.
