Black+Decker Dustbuster BLACK
Score: 72/100
Shark Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
Score: 73/100Rankings
The Shark IZ362H is a cordless stick vacuum with 40-minute runtime, HEPA filtration, and a PowerFins brushroll for versatile cleaning across carpets and hard floors. Its heavier weight and single power level may cause fatigue during long tasks and limit deep-clean performance. Suited for allergy-prone users and small-to-medium homes needing portable, allergen-controlling cleaning.
The Black+Decker HHVK515JP07 is a cordless handheld vacuum that excels with its 35 AW PowerBoost suction and an XL crevice tool for tight spaces. Its runtime is limited and suction drops without the pet brush, making it less versatile for general cleaning. Best suited for pet owners needing quick upholstery and car clean-ups.

Professional reviewers and editors commend the HHVK515JP07 for its pet-focused performance, noting a four-fold suction boost and substantially longer runtime compared with earlier Black+Decker handhelds. The motorized pet brush and XL crevice tool are highlighted as key strengths for upholstery and tight-space cleaning, while the cordless convenience and easy-empty dustbin receive positive remarks. Minor criticisms focus on its heavier packaged weight and reduced suction without the pet attachment.
Everyday users largely praise the vacuum's ability to tackle pet hair quickly and value the cordless, one-touch empty design. Recurring complaints center on weak suction when the pet brush is not used, the short PowerBoost runtime, and a perception that the unit underperforms for general household debris.
“just a poor vacuum”
“Easy to convert between full-size and handheld, appreciating power-to-weight ratio despite cordless design.”
Professional reviewers commend the IZ362H for its portability, convenient handheld conversion, and solid power-to-weight ratio, especially for light-to-medium cleaning tasks. However, they criticize its heavier weight relative to ultra-light competitors, modest airflow, and lack of built-in accessory storage, suggesting it may fall short for heavy-debris scenarios.
Everyday users highlight the ease of switching to handheld mode, the lightweight feel during short clean-ups, and the effective pet-hair removal. Recurring concerns focus on the missing tool storage, the 40-minute runtime for larger jobs, and the overall weight being higher than expected for a cordless stick.
