The Shark ION F80 is an all purpose cordless vacuum that comes with their unique MultiFLEX™ technology, as well as a long list of strong features. Like the other major brands in the home vacuum industry, Shark has made a big investment in cord-free machines to make them viable replacements to the heavier corded models found in virtually every household. While the biggest improvement has been with the batteries (more on that in a minute) there are several other features that make the F80 a tremendous value.
For starters, why would Shark make such a big investment in cordless vacuums? Is there really a demand for them? The short answer is absolutely YES! Once you see how capable these new models are you can begin to see the advantages. The F80 is built to clean just about every surface around your home in less time, and in a much easier fashion than what you are used to. Let’s take a look at the main features that make this possible, or if you want a quick synopsis of what the F80 has to offer click here.

Anybody who has been following the vacuum cleaner industry over the last few years has noticed a trend towards lighter, more versatile vacuums that don’t sacrifice cleaning ability. This is a tall task for the major brands but most of them have met it with flying colors. Dyson, Shark, and others have multiple cordless models to choose from with long lasting lithium ion batteries but Oreck had been missing from the conversation. That is noticeable since the company has been one of the pioneers in both residential and professional cleaning products for so long.
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.
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?
