Our Verdict

Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ [CH951, CH964AMZ]

Dyson Humdinger

The Dyson Humdinger and the Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ are both great cordless handheld vacuums. The Shark feels better built, has a larger dirt compartment, and performs slightly better on all surface types. The Dyson has a more effective exhaust filter to reduce allergens and incurs virtually no recurring costs.
