Shark Vertex Pro Powered Lift-Away vs Dyson Ball Animal 3 Extra/Complete

The Dyson Ball Animal 3 Extra/Complete is better than the Shark Vertex Pro Powered Lift-Away for most uses, though these are still differently designed vacuums with different uses. The Dyson is a more conventional corded upright that's better suited for longer cleaning sessions, as it can run for as long as it's plugged into an electrical socket. It's also easier to maintain, has a larger dustbin, and features an adjustable floorhead that yields significantly better performance on carpeted floors. However, the Shark is cordless, allowing you to clean hard-to-reach areas like the inside of your car with relative ease. It's also quieter and lighter than the Dyson, with a 'Lift-Away' design that lets you use it as a handheld by picking up and carrying its canister body independently of its floorhead.
