About this deal
CR’s take: Not all handheld vacuums can tackle pet hair with aplomb, but the Shark Ion aces that task. CR’s take: With a hose built into the design, the compact, cord-free Black+Decker Flex makes it easy to suction up debris in hard-to-reach places, like under a car seat or behind your washer.

If you’re hoping to shoot with this camera and transfer the images directly to your phone to share on social media, you’re out of luck. It comes with a number of attachments that make it more versatile than many handhelds, including an extension wand, a floor nozzle, a crevice tool, and a flexible extension hose.
We also examine how loud they are, how long they run on a single charge, and how well they clean up pet hair, among other things. This handheld aces our bare-floor cleaning test, and it does well in other key cleaning tests, including cleaning carpet, removing pet hair, and getting grit out of the edges along walls.
However, the device is not only aimed at those who want to outsource the dishwashing task to a robot and keep their hands 'clean'. With the best ratings we’ve seen for diving depth and drop resistance, plus image quality slightly better than that of the competition, the OM System Tough TG-7 is an excellent choice marred only by flaws common to all tough cameras. After trying from a few different angles, I figured out just the right placement to get cutlery clean without risk of it getting stuck, as you can see in the video below.Snorkeling is unlikely to take you below 10 feet, but your camera’s depth limit should give you room to spare in case you drop the camera accidentally underwater. We previously dismissed that Canon model due to lackluster low-light performance and images that weren’t as sharp as those from our picks. If you’re looking for a more powerful vacuum, consider our picks of the best stick vacuums or even trading up to a full-sized canister vacuum or upright vacuum.
