Our Verdict
Shark APEX UpLight
Eureka FloorRover
The Shark APEX UpLight is better overall than the Eureka FloorRover. While it's not as effective at picking up fine debris on high-pile carpets, it performs better on bare floors and low-pile carpets. The Shark is easier to maneuver and has a more portable handheld configuration that makes it better suited to cleaning stairs and cars. It also has no recurring costs as long as its parts are well maintained. The Shark's biggest downside is that its dirt compartment is considerably smaller, so it needs more frequent emptying.
