Shark Stratos Cordless IZ862H vs Dyson V8 Cyclone

The Shark Stratos Cordless IZ862H and the Dyson V8 Cyclone are both mid-range cordless vacuums, but the Shark is the better choice for most homes, especially if you have a lot of hard flooring. It picks up debris on bare floors in a single pass, cleans cracks and grout lines more thoroughly, and has a folding wand that lets you reach under furniture without crouching. It also adjusts suction on its own when it hits a messy spot, feels sturdier, and lasts longer on its highest power setting. The Dyson V8 Cyclone is the better pick if pet hair is your main concern, since it lifts hair out of carpet more thoroughly. The Cyclone is also much lighter to carry around and easier to maintain, because you can pull out the brushroll to clear tangled hair.
