The Furbuster AdvancedClean+ is a cordless handheld vacuum with a motorised pet-hair brush, a built-in 9-inch crevice tool and a roughly 0.7-litre dust bin. TechGearLab named it its best handheld for pet hair, found it often cleared messes in a single pass and measured almost 30 minutes of runtime. Yahoo Shopping picked it as its best car vacuum for pet hair after a test in a compact SUV, praising its strong suction on soil, pebbles and dog hair. It suits pet owners who need to strip fur from seats and floor mats; anyone who mostly cleans narrow gaps around the console, or wants something light for one-handed use, should look at slimmer models.

Strengths
  • — Motorised brush cleared fur-clinging car floor mats in just a few passes
  • — Ran for almost 30 minutes on a charge in TechGearLab's runtime test
  • — Strong suction picked up soil, larger pebbles, leaves and pine needles in a car test
Watch-outs
  • — Bulky body and wide crevice tool cannot reach very tight gaps beside seats
  • — Hard to manoeuvre one-handed, especially with the pet brush fitted
  • — Takes four to five hours to recharge fully
Worx WX030L 20V
Ranked #6 in Best Cordless Car Vacuums
Worx WX030L 20V
1 source$99.99as of Oct 17

Want a swappable-battery handheld with a hose that reaches deep into car crevices? That is the Worx WX030L. Its cube body parks on a seat while the 3-foot hose works the footwells, suction is strong for the size, and the PowerShare battery is shared across Worx tools. Runtime is short and the format takes getting used to, though for detailing tight spaces nothing else is as handy.

Strengths
  • — Runs on the 20V PowerShare platform, so batteries swap with other Worx tools
  • — Washable triple-stage HEPA filter keeps fine dust contained
Watch-outs
  • — Battery and charger add cost if you do not own Worx tools

How they stack up

BLACK+DECKER dustbuster furbuster AdvancedClean+ Pet Hair Vacuum

TechGearLab measured 29.1 minutes of runtime for the Furbuster against 14.7 for the Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro Plus, although it found the Shark better in tight spaces and it weighs 2.8 lb to the Furbuster's 3.3 lb. The BLACK+DECKER DustBuster Ion (HHVI315JO42) is lighter at 2.2 lb and listed at about half the price in the same test, but TechGearLab noted it was not designed with pet hair in mind.

Worx WX030L 20V

The cube-and-hose specialist. Its 3-foot hose reaches deeper into car crevices than the rigid wands of the Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ (CH951), Dyson Car+Boat or Black+Decker DustBuster Ion (HHVI315JO42), and its swappable PowerShare battery is a platform advantage none of them offer, though its suction trails the Shark and Dyson and its runtime is short like the Black+Decker DustBuster CHV1410L.
