Our Verdict
Dyson V8
Shark Cordless Pet IX141
The Dyson V8 is better than the Shark Cordless Pet IX141. The Dyson is easier to maintain, incurs virtually zero recurring costs, weighs less, is more maneuverable, has a wider array of attachments, and has a more powerful suction motor. Conversely, the Shark has a bigger dustbin and offers a similar 40-minute battery life while recharging in less time.
