The Vax UCUESHV1 Air Lift Steerable Pet Pro Vacuum Cleaner would suit those who endure the difficulties of pet hair removal. It's a great performer on the carpet, but not so much on floorboards, so perhaps seek out alternative options if you have hard floors. I used the hair-capturing EcoBrush head on my carpets, which uses the suction of the vacuum to spin the brush, scooping pet hairs into an aperture that’s narrower than on the standard Henry head so that the suction power is more focused. It’s very noisy and not quite as good as the motorised brushes on costlier pet vacs, but did a decent job of lifting hairs and was easy to push around.

The Vax Air Steerable Pet Pro is the UK's best performing lift out vacuum cleaner in the UK with no loss of suction.** Most impressively, this model boasts Shark’s most advanced anti hair wrap technology to date, removing strands from the rollers as it goes along. Unlike previous Shark models it’s almost 100 per cent effective, and that’s coming from someone with four long-haired cats (and two Labradors). Like the Henry it uses activated charcoal to neutralise pet smells. The filter is rated as S-class (S for schwebstoff - airborne particles), a European rating that’s even more demanding than HEPA since it traps 99.9 percent of particles down to 0.03 microns. Corded upright vacuums are often considered best for pet hair removal because of their strong suction and Sebo — who originally manufactured industrial-strength vacuums for German hotels — have a high reputation among those in the know.

The Vax Air Lift Pet Pro's steerable technology allows you to navigate smoothly around furniture and other obstacles with ease. The USP here is a flexible wand that bends in the middle, with a light on the end to allow you to clean under furniture more easily. It also means the cleaner folds in half for convenient storage. Another unique feature is Shark’s “DuoClean” floorhead which contains two motorised brush rolls – one of stiff bristles, the other of rubber fins that dig deep into carpets to release more pet dirt. The Vax Air Steerable Pet Pro is perfect for the stairs and hard to reach places in your home. It's great for cleaning the stairs and car too.

A good filter is absolutely key. The ‘pet smell’ in houses comes from dander: microscopic particles of skin, saliva, sweat and other proteins which can be as small as two microns (two thousandths of a millimetre) and can hang in the air for long periods of time, before settling into every fibre of your carpet and upholstery. You want to make sure that when you vacuum the dander up, it stays vacuumed.That’s where the Air Lift’s stretch hose will come in handy. You can detach it from the main brush head and attach one of the accessories, such as the crevice tool, to reach otherwise unreachable areas. The extendable hose stretches about 1.5m. The release is located at about ankle-height on the main unit, meaning transitioning isn’t the most seamless and you’ll have to bend down to unclip it. Additionally, the handle grip can also be detached from the upright unit and reattached to the hose to provide a better grip and additional, extendible, reach. HEPA filters provide the best method of filtration,” says Katerina Petrova of the Happy House cleaning company. “You can find both bagged or bagless models and the prices range from cheap to considerably more expensive. Good examples of this type of vacuum come from Miele, Shark and Dyson.’‘ Cordless vacuums are on their way to being the only game in town: people love how light and portable they are compared to corded vacuums, especially in flats and small houses. Your mind might automatically cast to Dyson. But cheaper and more widely available, American challengers Shark now rival them in popularity.
