Some cordless vacuums sacrifice suction for lightness. The Dyson V9 Motorbar cordless vacuum delivers the powerful performance you’d expect from a Dyson, yet it’s 33% lighter than the Dyson V15 vacuum. With up to 40 minutes of fade-free suction, it is pioneering Dyson technology concentrated for deep cleaning.¹ It has advanced, whole-machine filtration that captures pet allergens and fine dust and expels cleaner air.² The Motorbar cleaner head de-tangles wrapped hair as you vacuum. The innovative Hair Screw Tool with a conical brush bar is perfect for cleaning upholstery and pet beds. Thanks to the cordless format, it also transforms into a handheld vacuum with one click so you can clean up high, down low, and everywhere in between. Comes with a 2-year warranty and lifetime Dyson support. Powerfully picks up dust and hair from all floors. Anti-tangle comb clears hair from the brush bar.

The Shark Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum combines deep-cleaning suction with cordless convenience. Powerful suction delivers deep cleaning on both hard floors and carpets while the vacuum's lightweight design and removable handheld vac allow for cleaning from floor to ceiling. For added convenience, the XL dust cup features CleanTouch technology for hands-off debris disposal.

The Shark PowerDetect Clean & Empty (IP3251) system is the ultimate cordless solution for powerful, intelligent, whole-home deep cleaning. It features an Auto-Empty system that charges & empties your vacuum after every clean, reducing dust exposure by 1000x* vs. traditional emptying. PowerDetect is powered by Shark’s most powerful cordless suction** PLUS a redesigned DuoClean Detect nozzle with dirt-detecting intelligence and multi-directional cleaning, making it THE BEST debris cleaning*** of ANY cordless vacuum.

PowerDetect has an impressive 70min of runtime§§ and a MultiFlex wand for effortless under-furniture reach and flex storage.
