Our Verdict
Shark ION P50 Cord-Free Powered Lift-Away
Shark Rocket Pet Pro
The Shark Rocket Pet Pro is more versatile than the Shark ION P50 Cord-Free Powered Lift-Away. The Pet Pro is more effective on bare floors and low pile carpet while also being lighter and easier to use in hard-to-reach areas. Conversely, the P50 has a large dirt compartment, lasts longer on a single charge, and does fractionally better on high-pile carpet.
