The 1.8L dust cup empties with one touch, and a large LED display reports dust fullness, clogging and suction status.

How to choose

Compare suction in pascals

Suction appears in pascals for the Meskos and KQAHA at 50,000Pa, and in kilopascals for the JOBEAR at 60 KPA and the JRFYHFT at 60kpa. Compare those figures against runtime and brush design: a higher figure means stronger pull at the floor head, but brush design and floor type change what reaches the carpet.

Match runtime to your cleaning time

Runtimes here are stated in the lowest or Eco mode: 70 minutes for the Shark, JOBEAR and JRFYHFT, and 65 minutes for the Meskos and KQAHA. The Meskos also states 45 minutes in Mid and 25 minutes in Max, so expect shorter runs on higher power. Pick a runtime that covers your floors on one charge, and check whether the battery is removable or replaceable.

Weigh bin size against emptying

A larger dust cup means fewer trips to empty it. The JOBEAR and JRFYHFT carry 1.8L cups, and the Meskos carries a 1.6L cup with one-touch emptying. All three stand on their own, and the JOBEAR and JRFYHFT charge on wall-mounted docks. For pet hair, the Meskos, KQAHA, JOBEAR and JRFYHFT carry anti-tangle brushes.
