The Vacmaster Respira Pet Upright Vacuum UC0413EUK feels a similar size to most other corded upright vacuums we’ve tried. There’s nothing striking about the white and blue plastic appearance which is certainly forgivable given the wallet-friendly price tag. It measures 115 x 28 x 26 cm (h x w x d). The handle height isn’t adjustable, but once it’s tilted in use, this becomes a non-issue. However, you’ll need to consider the fact it doesn’t disassemble when thinking about where to store it. The pet brush, characterised by its rubber grey bristles, snaps into the multi-surface brush. If you’ve a loyal pup who travels with you, this brush will assist gather the fur balls left behind. The disadvantage of the pet brush is the rubber bristles, which frayed on us after just one use. When you utilize the pet brush, it’s possible you’ll end up additionally vacuuming up tiny rubber items of the bristles. Push Brush

Three months into using this robot vacuum in the real world, it’s still pulling its weight. We run it two times per day in a home with a shedding dog. The dust bag is filling up more frequently and we need to replace the brush and filter since they’ve expired (something to add to the cost). It’s also gotten a bit noisier, but we’re otherwise pleased with it and appreciate the helping hand. The versatile hose and crevice nozzle are for the proverbial “hard to reach” areas inside your automobile. At the tip of the hose is a tapered level for vacuuming alongside the sting of your seats, cargo space, or down by the driving force and passenger aspect floormats. The crevice nozzle is sweet for the abyss between the entrance seats and decrease door panels or heart console. The dust canister is easy to remove and empty and the filters are also easily accessible. The pre-motor filters are revealed when the dust canister is removed and these have to be rinsed every three months. The HEPA filter which is accessed through a door at the front of the vacuum only needs to be rinsed once a year, so there’s not too much maintenance required. What I always do when testing the best vacuums is to give the vac in hand a full charge. There was some juice in the Eufy HomeVac H30 Mate but only two-out-of-the-three battery indicator lights were lit up so I thought to give it a fair shot, I would wait until all three of the lights were illuminated before taking it out on a test run.There are numerous options on the market for handheld, cordless car vacuums. Based on our research, the Fanttik V8 Mate is a nice middle ground in terms of price, performance, size, and accessories. It’s also lightweight and easy to use, clean, and stow. It doesn’t have different power levels to choose from, but on the end of the hose a suction control section can be twisted to open an air inlet which reduces the suction should you need to. The Vac-Mate makes it possible for your pool skimmer to continue to remove surface debris while your automatic pool cleaner is operating. The Vac-Mate fits inside most skimmers and makes any suction type pool cleaner and wall skimmer fully automatic. It replaces most control mechanisms supplied with pool cleaners and traps debris before it reaches the pump pot. The on/off switch isn’t on the handle, but actually we didn’t find the position annoying during use. The vacuum feels light to push on both carpet as well as hard floors and took a long pile area rug in its stride. We did notice that when switching from the carpet to the hard floor setting, the headlights switch off, which is a shame, it would be useful if the lights remained on for hard floor cleaning. When it comes to canister vacuums, we’ve historically been a fan of Miele products. After recent lab tests, we’re loving the Miele Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog Bagless Canister Vacuum. Miele is a top brand we recommend given the quality and durability of its vacuums. They’re investment pieces, but you’re paying for what you get: a reliable workhorse.

The V8 Mate has an extendable and flexible hose, crevice nozzle, 120-milliliter integrated dust cup, built-in stainless steel and HEPA filters, USB Type-C charging cable, an owner’s manual, and a storage bag. Included are three different brushes to give the V8 Mate more versatility, depending on the cleaning job. The flex hose, crevice nozzle, and brushes snap into the opening at the top of the V8 Mate, although you can use the unit without any of the accessories. Dual-Speed Operation The 250ml dust cup is small, yes, but this is to be expected with such a small vacuum and if you empty it after each use then it won't effect the performance or usage. The LED headlight is a notably useful feature which comes in handy when vacuuming around or underneath furniture Cleaning and maintenance Any of the included brushes will snap into the opening on the high of the crevice nozzle, which is able to present some additional size if wanted. Multi-Surface & Pet Brushes The best vacuums have true HEPA filters. HEPA filters are also found in air purifiers, and they're able to capture 99.97 percent of particles with diameters of 0.3 microns or less, including pollen, dust mites. After three months, our review of the Bissell Crosswave HydroSteam Plus is still stellar. We love that using it is easier than mopping, and how it makes our floors feel genuinely cleaner, even in the presence of pets. Emptying the tank and filter is also really simple.When turned on, the V8 Mate will automatically operate in low-speed mode, indicated by a blue ring around the power button. If you need more juice, hit the power button again to activate the high-speed mode (the ring around the power button will turn green). According to Fanttik, when the battery is fully charged, the V8 Mate will run in low-speed mode for about 30 minutes and in high-speed mode for about 12 minutes. Flexible Hose & Crevice Nozzle You can find more information on these vacuum features and design aspects in our What to Look for in a Vacuum Cleaner section.

Fanttik V8 Mate: What It Offers Assembling the Vacmaster Respira Pet Upright Vacuum UC0413EUK requires a flat headed screwdriver, but it’s just for one screw and isn’t too fiddly. The rest of the assembly was straightforward.

Below we cover the main features of the Fanttik V8 Mate and go through the attachments, setup, and filter cleaning, to help you decide if you are in the market for a handheld car vacuum. Fanttik V8 Mate: What It Offers Removing the hose is simple and we used the Pet Mate tool when vacuuming stairs, the hose was long enough for us to vacuum ten stairs before we had to move the vacuum up the stairs to reach the rest. We also evaluate the vacuum's weight and portability, and how well it can transition from smooth floors to carpeting. We rate the noise level and note whether we can comfortably talk over it. After testing for these attributes, we test maneuverability by running each model through a living room obstacle course, complete with a couch and coffee table, to see how it maneuvers tight areas and in corners. The “filter element” is really two filters in one. The stainless steel pre-filter is on the outside, which twists off to reveal the HEPA filter. Fanttik includes a small cleaning brush for the dust cup and filters, which can be washed with water if necessary. Let the HEPA filter air dry for 24 hours before reassembling the unit. In my experience, these are some of the most important terms, features, and considerations you need to know to find your perfect vacuum.

We used this vacuum for six months at home after formal lab testing, and are happy to report that it’s a family-favorite. We don’t feel like it disturbs kids and reach for it over a Dyson, which was previously the family-favorite. Regular charging and emptying is definitely required, but it’s a household staple for sure. Since the bristles of the push brush are extra rugged than the multi-surface and pet brushes, it’s well-suited for dislodging extra cussed particles out of your automobile’s carpet. We used the push brush when vacuuming our rear cargo space and the again of the rear seats after folding them down. Fanttik V8 Mate In Action The flexible hose and crevice nozzle are for the proverbial “hard to reach” areas inside your vehicle. At the end of the hose is a tapered point for vacuuming along the edge of your seats, cargo area, or down by the driver and passenger side floormats. The crevice nozzle is nice for the abyss between the front seats and lower door panels or center console.
