Our Verdict
Shark APEX Upright
Eureka FloorRover
The Shark APEX Upright is somewhat better than the Eureka FloorRover. It's more effective than the Eureka on bare floors and low-pile carpet but doesn't perform as well on high-pile carpet. It also feels a little better built and is a bit more maneuverable. On the other hand, the Eureka is easier to maintain and comes with more tools and accessories.
