Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ (CH951)

4.4

2 sources$69.99as of Sep 25

For cars, the Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ is the best all-around handheld, and the one to reach for if pet hair is the problem. TechGearLab made it Editors' Choice at 85/100, praising the car-friendly crevice tool and motorized pet brush. Runtime is short and recharging is slow, but near $100 its suction and attachment set are hard to beat for spot-cleaning a vehicle.

Strengths

— Motorized self-cleaning pet brush pulls embedded pet hair from upholstery in seconds
— Crevice tool is small enough to reach the tight cracks where car hair collects
— XL dust cup with CleanTouch dirt ejector empties without touching the debris

Watch-outs

— Short real-world runtime, around 10-15 minutes per charge
— Corded charging base, no quick top-up

Ranked #6 in Best Cordless Car Vacuums

Worx WX030L 20V

3.0

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

Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ (CH951)

The best all-around handheld here for pet hair and car detailing. Its motorized pet brush and tiny crevice tool beat the Black+Decker DustBuster Ion (HHVI315JO42), the Worx WX030L and the Black+Decker DustBuster CHV1410L on upholstery, and it runs quieter and cleaner than its short runtime suggests. Only the Dyson Car+Boat offers more raw suction and runtime, at triple the price.

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.
