Our Verdict
Dyson V7
Shark Cordless Pet IX141
The Dyson V7 and Shark Cordless Pet IX141 each have their advantages. The Dyson is easier to maintain thanks to its removable brushroll, weighs noticeably less, is easier to maneuver, and does a better job of filtering out allergens thanks to its HEPA filter. Meanwhile, the Shark performs better at cleaning carpeted floors, has a larger dustbin, and offers a marginally longer battery life.
