Black+Decker Dustbuster FLEX
Score: 74/100
Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro Plus
Score: 66/100Rankings
The BLACK+DECKER BDH2020FL FLEX combines a 20 V cordless system with a four-foot flexible hose and strong suction, making it effective on pet hair and hard-to-reach spots. At 1.45 kg and only 15 minutes of runtime, it can feel heavy and requires frequent recharging. It's a good match for pet owners and car interior cleaning where reach matters more than endurance.
The Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ CH951 is a cordless handheld vacuum delivering dual cyclonic suction and a self-cleaning pet brush for effective pet-hair removal. Its main limitations are a short 10-minute battery life and modest 80 W power, making it less suitable for extended cleaning sessions. Perfect for pet owners seeking a lightweight, quick-spot tool for upholstery and car interiors.

Professional reviewers commend the BDH2020FL for its strong suction, ergonomic design, and versatile accessories that excel at pet hair and hard-to-reach spots. However, they note the short 15-minute battery life, noticeable noise, and heavier weight compared with ultra-light competitors.
Everyday users praise the flexible hose, large dustbin, and effective pet-hair pickup, but repeatedly criticize the limited runtime, loud operation, and the need for two-handed handling with attachments.
“great product”
Choose the CH951 if pet hair removal is a priority; otherwise, the Dustbuster offers lighter weight and longer runtime for general spot cleaning
Professional reviewers and editors commend the CH951 for its strong suction, lightweight build, and pet-focused accessories such as the self-cleaning brush and XL dust cup. They also note its durable filter and motor, but criticize the short 10-minute battery life, single-speed operation, and modest power compared to higher-end handhelds.
Everyday users generally praise the vacuum's portability, effective pet hair removal, and convenient features like the hands-free dirt ejector and LED lights. Common complaints focus on the limited runtime, small dust cup, and the fact that it's best suited for quick, spot-cleaning tasks rather than extensive cleaning sessions.
