Anyone living with dogs that shed relentlessly or with residents sporting long, thick hair knows the daily battle against stubborn hair piles all over the house. For me, it’s both—a household with two furry companions and own thick, flowing hair scattered everywhere.
Vacuuming daily became a necessity, but the constant frustration of untangling hair from vacuum brushes made cleaning tedious and time-consuming. In 2023, I discovered the Levoit Anti-tangle vacuum, which was the first device that genuinely stood up to this challenge—until now.
Recently, I got the chance to test the Ultenic U20 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, and it surpassed my expectations. Ultenic designed the U20 specifically for modern households with pets, blending power, smart design, and convenience into one lightweight, self-standing unit.

Under the hood, the U20 packs a powerful 600W motor delivering 55KPa suction, paired with an upgraded anti-tangle brush that genuinely lives up to its promises. After a month of rigorous testing, I haven’t had to untangle a single strand of hair from the brush—a first.
The vacuum’s advanced flexible wand revolutionizes usability, effortlessly gliding into tight spaces and under furniture without strain. Unlike rigid vacuums I’ve used before, the U20’s flexible arm makes cleaning corners and hard-to-reach spots simple and comfortable. The self-standing design offers convenient storage and quick access between cleaning sessions.
Its interactive display is another standout feature. Instead of suddenly shutting off without explanation, the U20 provides clear alerts on errors, battery life, and power modes all in one place, eliminating guesswork during cleaning.
With pets in mind, the U20 includes a robust seven-layer filtration system that traps 99.99% of dust, allergens, and microscopic particles. I’ve noticed cleaner indoor air and improved readings on my air purifier since incorporating this vacuum into our routine.
While the vacuum performs best on its highest suction setting, it does drain the battery faster, requiring a recharge after vacuuming the entire home. However, the detachable battery lets you charge it anywhere, adding flexibility and convenience.
Weighing just 1.7kg, the U20 is lightweight and easy to carry upstairs or move between rooms without fatigue. An added bonus is its GreenEye technology, an intelligent detection system that automatically adjusts suction based on the floor type and debris load—perfect for targeting areas where pet hair tends to accumulate.
Of course, the vacuum’s only drawback is that, like any vacuum around pets, it still excites our dogs enough to chase and bark at it. But at least it keeps their shedding under control!
The Ultenic U20 is available now on Amazon at a 21% discount, priced at £189.99, with an additional £40 off coupon valid until August 28. It’s also offered on the Ultenic website, reduced from £239.99.
