Our Verdict

Dyson V8

Shark Vertex Pro Powered Lift-Away ICZ362H

The Dyson V8 and Shark Vertex Pro Powered Lift-Away ICZ362H are differently designed cordless vacuums. The Dyson is a cordless stick vacuum that's easier to maneuver, has fewer parts needing regular cleaning, comes with a miniature turbo brush, and delivers slightly better performance on low-pile carpets. Meanwhile, the Shark is a more sturdily built cordless upright vacuum with a bigger dirt compartment, a longer battery life, and slightly better performance on bare floors and high-pile carpet. Its secondary soft roller in its floorhead also helps it do a better job of collecting debris in cracks and crevices.
