How these dog grooming vacuum reviews were read: I haven’t used any of these kits, and I don’t have a dog. On each of three Amazon listings I read about forty recent high-star and forty recent low-star reviews, about 240 in all, and summarised them the same way as every review on this site. That’s a sample, not a census, and most ratings have no written review. Star percentages are Amazon’s published figures. Nothing here is sponsored. The Amazon links on this page are affiliate links: as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you.
A grooming vacuum is a small vacuum with a hose, and tools that clip onto the end of it: a brush, a clipper with guide combs and, on some kits, a paw trimmer and nail grinder. You brush or trim, and the hair goes up the hose instead of across the floor. Between them, the three kits here have more than 22,000 ratings, and on every one, at least three-quarters are five stars.
These dog grooming vacuum reviews compare Buenkee, oneisall and Afloia side by side: what owners love about each, how they differ, and four checks that apply whichever you choose.

What owners love about all three
No hair across the house. It comes up again and again in the five-star reviews on every listing. Owners describe trimming a dog in the living room or on the bed with nothing to sweep up afterwards.
It pays for itself. Owners on all three listings put numbers on it: $150 per dog for two Golden Retrievers, $125 per goldendoodle, $160 a few times a year for two dogs. More than one says the kit paid for itself on the first groom.
Nervous dogs put up with it. A chihuahua that’s afraid of everything sat through a Buenkee groom. An anxious senior dog barely noticed oneisall’s. A chorkie stayed calm with Afloia’s. Most owners on all three listings describe them as quiet.
It’s quicker. A border collie owner on one listing and a dog owner on another each describe a job of nearly two hours coming down to about fifteen minutes.
Buenkee: the bigger bin
Buenkee’s kit has the largest hair bin of the three, at 2 litres, and its five-star reviews include plenty of big shedders: a Great Pyrenees, a husky, a German Shepherd’s undercoat and a malamute that refuses to visit a groomer. Its clipper works on the end of the hose, and none of the Buenkee reviews I read mention having to charge it. It has no nail grinder or paw trimmer, so it’s a brushing and trimming kit rather than a full home salon.
Worth knowing: in the reviews I read, its low-star side is mostly units that stopped working and clippers that cut weakly, and it suits medium and double coats better than very short, sleek ones. The Buenkee review has the details.
oneisall: the quiet one, with the full kit
With more than 12,000 ratings, oneisall’s LM2 is the most-rated kit here, and quiet is the word its owners use most. The most-voted recent review, with 14 helpful votes, came from an owner who expected it to be loud and found it really quiet, with a goldendoodle that wasn’t frightened at all. Its seven tools include a deshedding brush that owners single out and a cordless clipper that takes paw and nail heads.
Worth knowing: about half of the low-star reviews I read involve the cordless clipper, through a battery that stopped charging or plastic parts that broke, and about one in eight a hose that split. The oneisall review has owner tips for both.
Afloia: the small-dog starter kit
Afloia’s LM1 has the longest warranty here, two years by the listing, and its happiest owners tend to have small or medium dogs: Shih Tzus, Cavachons, Corgis, poodles. Several are grooming at home for the first time, including one whose 11-year-old Shih Tzu had only ever been to a groomer and was done in under an hour. Like oneisall’s, its clipper is cordless and takes paw and nail heads.
A Cavachon breeder filmed a trim with the Afloia kit and calls it their favourite grooming tool. There are no links or sponsorship notes in the description.
Worth knowing: as with oneisall, the cordless clipper draws more of the low-star reviews than anything else, and the 1.5-litre cup fills fast. The Afloia review goes into which dogs it suits.
Dog grooming vacuum reviews: four checks before you buy
Test the clipper in week one. On all three listings, the most common low-star complaints involve the clipper or a unit that stopped early, while the vacuum and brushes draw far fewer. Charge it, do a real trim inside the return window, and keep your order details for the warranty.
Match the coat. Across these dog grooming vacuum reviews, the happiest owners have medium, curly or double coats. Owners of very short, sleek coats got little hair off, and owners of large, heavy coats found the bins and batteries stretched.
Introduce the sound slowly. Most owners in these dog grooming vacuum reviews call the machines quiet, but a minority of dogs are scared. The owners who got nervous dogs through it started on the lowest suction, let the dog sniff the parts and the running machine first, and used treats.
Brush before you cut, and start long. Owners on more than one listing say the clipper snags on mats, so comb them out first, and start with a longer guard comb. Without a guard, the blades cut very close.

Common questions
Which grooming vacuum is quietest?
All three list 58 to 60 dB. In the dog grooming vacuum reviews I read, quietness comes up most on oneisall’s listing, and most owners on all three call them quiet.
Which has a nail grinder?
oneisall and Afloia both include a nail grinder and paw trimmer that fit on their cordless clippers. Buenkee’s kit doesn’t.
Which is best for a big dog?
Buenkee’s 2-litre bin is the largest, and its five-star reviews include several big shedders. All three need emptying more than once for a large, heavy coat.
Do they work on cats?
Owners on all three listings mention cats, some calm and some scared. Start with the brush on the lowest setting.
Which has the longest warranty?
Afloia, at two years by the listing. Buenkee and oneisall list one year.
Star percentages are Amazon’s published figures at the time of writing and will drift as new ratings arrive. Patterns above are summarised in my own words from samples of the written reviews available on each listing, which are smaller than each listing’s full review count and much smaller than its total ratings. Product images are from the manufacturers’ listings. Specifications, pricing and availability change; check the listings for current details: Buenkee, oneisall, Afloia.
