Our Verdict

Dyson V8

Shark Vertex Pro Lightweight [IZ662H, IZ682H]

The Dyson V8 and the Shark Vertex Pro Lightweight are both cordless stick vacuums that offer similar performance. The Shark is a little lighter and easier to maneuver and has a larger dirt compartment. It also performs a bit better on high-pile carpets. The Dyson comes with more accessories and tools and performs better on low-pile carpets.
