Our Verdict

Dyson V11

Shark Vertex Lightweight Cordless [IZ440H, IZ462H, IZ483H]

The Dyson V11 and the Shark Vertex Lightweight Cordless are fairly evenly matched overall, and you may prefer one over the other depending on your needs. The Dyson is easier to maintain, has a longer maximum battery life, and performs better on low- and high-pile carpets. Meanwhile, the Shark feels better made, is more maneuverable, and cleans more debris on bare floors. It also charges substantially faster.
