Our Verdict
Dyson V8
Shark Stratos Cordless IZ862H
The Dyson V8 and the Shark Stratos Cordless IZ862H each have their own advantages. The Dyson is easier to pick up and carry. Its single roller head also does a better job clearing away pet hair embedded within carpets. The Shark is the more feature-packed vacuum; it has an automatic power adjustment system, a folding wand, a higher-capacity battery, and a larger dustbin that holds more debris.
