Our Verdict

Dyson V7

Shark ION F80 Cord-Free MultiFLEX

The Shark ION F80 Cord-Free MultiFLEX is better overall than the Dyson V7. The Shark has much better performance on bare floors as it doesn't have trouble cleaning any debris. It also has better maneuverability, and the batteries are much better too. On the other hand, the Dyson has more tools included, is lighter to hold, and performs better on carpet, so it's a better choice to use in cars.
