Our Verdict

Shark Cordless Pro IZ562H

Shark PowerDetect Speed Clean & Empty IA3241

The Shark Cordless Pro IZ562H is a better overall performer than the Shark PowerDetect Speed Clean & Empty IA3241. It picks up debris more effectively on hard floors and in cracks and crevices, and keeps much more dust out of the air while you clean. The PowerDetect Speed does have a couple of things going for it: pet hair pickup is noticeably stronger, and its auto-empty dock lets you skip handling the dustbin yourself. It's also easier to maneuver thanks to its bendable wand.
