Our Verdict

Shark Rocket Pet Pro

Shark Vertex Pro Lightweight [IZ662H, IZ682H]

The Shark Rocket Pet Pro is better for more use cases than the Shark Vertex Pro Lightweight, though the two vacuums are very similar in overall performance. The Rocket is lighter and performs better on bare floors and low-pile carpet. It also recharges significantly faster, though the Vertex has much longer battery life. The Vertex  also performs better on high-pile carpet and has a larger dustbin.
