Both of these vacuums are:
– corded, upright vacuums
– can be used on carpets, area rugs, and some hard surfaces
– have above floor cleaning capability with either a hose and cleaning tool, or a lift off handle
– have similarly powered motors
– are affordably priced (rather than being high priced vacuums
We have rated both vacuums amongst the best value upright vacuums for pets on the market.
So, either of these vacuums in our opinion are a good option to consider buying for a lower priced vacuum.
The main differences in these vacs are:
– the Cleanview has a slightly wider cleaning path
– the Cleanview has a 2 foot longer electrical cord
– the Cleanview is heavier at 17 to 18 lbs, compared to the PowerSpeed at 10lbs
– the Cleanview has a slightly longer limited warranty
– the PowerSpeed has a much larger dirt cup capacity of 4.1 litres, compared to 1 litre for the Cleanview
– the PowerSpeed has several other higher spec PowerSpeed models available with additional features like a Pet Turbo brush, LED headlights and an auto rewind cord. So, some of the other PowerSpeed models may offer you some features you might not get in the Cleanview

Shark Navigator vs BISSELL Cleanview vs HOOVER WindTunnel vs Dyson Ball Animal 2: Main Differences, & Which To Get?
Each of these vacuum ranges and models are upright, corded vacuums.
But, each model and range from each brand also offers something slightly different (which you can see by looking at the list of features).
Our pick for the best vacuums across different categories would be:
– Affordable vacuum option
We like the BISSELL Cleanview Pet Swivel as an affordable vacuum option.
It has all the basic features you’d need, and can do both floor surface cleaning, and above floor surface level cleaning.
– Mid to high tier vacuum option
We like the Shark Navigator Professional and Deluxe models as mid to high tier vacuum options.
They’re lightweight, but have good suction, brush roll on and off control, and have Lift Away capability.
– High tier vacuum option
We like the Dyson Ball Animal 2 as a high tier/high performance vacuum.
It’s designed for some of the strongest suction of any vacuum on the market, has floor surface and above floor surface level cleaning capability, and is also designed to deal with pet hair.
