Our Verdict
RYOBI PCL720K
Shark Stratos Cordless
The Shark Stratos Cordless is a more feature-dense vacuum than the RYOBI PCL720K. The Shark's Clean Sense IQ system allows it to automatically adjust its suction power setting depending on how much debris is being sucked up, and its folding wand allows you to clean under tables and chairs without having to bend too deeply. The Shark is also more efficient in clearing away debris than the RYOBI. However, the RYOBI does feel more solidly built, and it does a better job of dealing with pet hair. The RYOBI's 4Ah battery also charges a lot faster while providing a comparable runtime to the Shark.
