The Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro is our top pick for its strong suction, versatility, and lightweight design. We also love its scrubbing brush and crevice tool, which help remove dust and reach tighter spaces. For those looking for a more budget-friendly model, the Bissell AeroSlim performs well for a fraction of the price.

The handheld that performed the best all-around is the Shark Ultracyclone Pet Pro Plus . It works reliably across all surfaces, with helpful attachments that add to its versatility.

The motorized tool is a great size for more widespread clear-ups on carpets and upholstery, and made quick work of both smaller and larger debris in our standard tests.

The suction is SO impressive for a handheld and I love that it’s lightweight, cordless, easy to empty, and comes with all the useful attachments including the pet brush and crevice tool. Such a good little powerhouse to keep around the house!

The self-cleaning Pet Power Brush is the actual headline feature here — it pulls hair through instead of letting it wind around the roller, which means no more stopping mid-session to cut fur off with scissors.

The Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro Plus claims to pack professional-grade suction into a frame that weighs less than a small bag of flour, and it actually manages to live up to the hype. At just 2.8 lb, this device is the definition of grab-and-go convenience, making it feel more like a helpful tool than a chore to use.

Overall, the Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro Plus delivers plenty of cleaning power and offers strong all-around performance, giving it great versatility where other handhelds may only excel with specific types of messes. It does, however, fall short in battery life, so it may not be the best choice if you need to clean for long periods without recharging.

It's not a replacement for a full vacuum, but for quick jobs, it's one of the better options in this range. The motor is loud, though not painfully so. It's about what you'd expect from a small, high-speed motor. The Pet Power Brush is the standout feature. It actually works.

It does well. Picks up most things, but we found a couple of things that has trouble with. We have a big oak tree in our front yard that produces acorns and we happen to track those acorns in from time to time. Let's see if we can pick these up.
