Our pick

The Dyson V15 Detect is the strongest all-round pet fit because it pairs excellent tested pickup with a detangling floor head and a compact powered tool for furniture. Miele’s Triflex is relevant for its HEPA filtration and a locked upright short pause with the PowerUnit at the bottom. Shark’s IP3251 adds automatic emptying and low reach.
Cordless picks that combine tested hair pickup, brush-roll control and useful pet tools.
