Our Verdict
Dyson V11
Shark PowerDetect Cordless
The Dyson V11 and the Shark PowerDetect Cordless each have their own advantages. While the Shark feels better built, the Dyson is noticeably lighter and easier to pick up and carry as a result. The Dyson also delivers better performance on carpeted floors, and it recharges a lot faster while providing similar battery life. Meanwhile, the Shark is a little more efficient on bare flooring, and its folding wand makes it easier to clean under furniture. Unlike the Dyson, it's also fully compatible with a self-empty base station.
