GlowWise Cordless Vacuum

The battery lasts around 30 minutes on a single charge in energy-saving mode, which covers most household cleaning tasks. Maximum power mode runs about 12 minutes.

The vacuum delivers 150AW cyclonic suction powered by a 5th-generation motor. Users report strong suction for picking up dirt, debris, and pet hair across various floor types.

It weighs 6.61 lb, making it lightweight and easy to maneuver for cleaning floors, stairs, and other areas around the home.

For pet hair, look for strong suction (roughly 20,000 Pa or more on a robot vacuum, 150 AW or more on a cordless), a tangle-resistant brush roll, a dedicated pet tool, and HEPA filtration, which by definition captures 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns. Dyson, Shark and Bissell all make well-reviewed pet models. Use the Pet Hair Specialist filter on our comparison table to see which ones are in stock and what they cost right now.

Most manufacturers suggest replacing filters every 3 to 6 months, depending on how often you vacuum and whether you have pets. HEPA filters usually last 12 to 18 months if you clean them regularly. Washable foam filters on bagless models should be rinsed every 1 to 2 weeks and dried fully before going back in. Replacements typically run $15 to $50. A clogged filter chokes airflow, so suction drops noticeably well before the filter looks dirty.
