The Shark ION P50 is not your typical upright vacuum by any stretch of the imagination. Sure it has enough power for deep cleaning carpets as well as several tools for other surfaces, but there is much more. If you know anything about the Shark company it’s that they are known for pushing the limits of technology to the benefit of their customers. Let’s take a look at what this vacuum cleaner has to offer with some recommendations for who this model makes sense for.

Hoover PowerDrive – Purpose Built Pet Vacuum
The Hoover PowerDrive is a full sized upright vacuum that is built for picking up pet hair in carpets. Even though it is bagless it comes with a fully sealed HEPA filtration system that traps and contains 99.9% of allergens down to 0.5 microns in size. This is especially important for homes with multiple pets as they tend to shed often and leave dander all over the floors. Not only do you need powerful suction (which we will cover below) but you also need to be able to keep whatever microscopic organisms you pick up safely inside the vacuum cleaner. Hoover has always been known for doing just that.

Miele Blizzard CX1 – Full Sized Bagless Canister Vacuums
The Blizzard CX1 is a bagless canister vacuum lineup that consists of 5 different models. Miele has always been known as a company that builds high-end bagged vacuums with supreme filtration that is almost unmatched in the industry. They have many vacuums in the upright, canister, stick, and even robotic categories so the Blizzard slides into an already robust offering of canisters. This really makes sense because many homeowners don’t want the extra expense of bags so there is a need for developing bagless models but they had to perform as good as their bagged counterparts. Did Miele succeed with this?

Bissell SpinWave Hard Floor Mop
The Bissell SpinWave is a fully powered mop that gets your hard floors like tile, sealed wood, and laminate clean without needing to scrub. The biggest concern homeowners have with smooth flooring is keeping it clean without damaging the surface at all. There are a lot of quality cleaners for doing this but the SpinWave stands above them in a few key areas. Saving time and energy is important for those living in a busy household and that is what this model was designed to do.
Before there were machines like the SpinWave if you wanted to get your floors looking like they were when they were first installed, you would be on your hands and knees scrubbing the surface. This was time consuming and difficult to say the least. Fortunately you don’t need to do that any more as technology has bridged the gap for you. This Bissell is a fully powered mop that has specially designed pads, spinning in such a manner as to quickly remove grime and caked on dirt from any hard floor. How does the SpinWave make it look so easy?

Bissell PowerEdge Pet Corded Hard Floor Vacuum
The PowerEdge Pet is a lightweight stick vacuum from Bissell that is purpose built for removing all types of debris from just about any hard floor surface in your home. It is ideal for homes with one or more pets, or really any household with high traffic areas as those seem to be a magnet for filth. It is a corded model so it doesn’t have the portability that other cordless brands do, but it is lightweight and has 20 feet of cord to work with. This makes it easy to carry around from room to room, and even up multiple flights of stairs if needed.
They state that it will pick up pet hair, dust bunnies, and other debris from tight corners on your smooth floors without requiring the use of attachments. This is not an easy task but is made possible by the unique design of the vacuum head. It is shaped in a V and has what Bissell calls ‘rubber wipers’ underneath that direct larger items towards the center of the suction path. The rubber is also designed to attract fine particles along the outer edge of these arms so nothing is left behind. This shape also lets you use the PowerEdge around furniture legs and other common items that you will encounter while cleaning around your home.
