Our Verdict

Shark PowerPro Flex Reveal Plus

Dyson V16 Piston Animal Submarine

While the Shark PowerPro Flex Reveal Plus and the Dyson V16 Piston Animal Submarine are both cordless stick vacuums, they have different strengths. The PowerPro edges ahead on pet hair pickup and low-pile carpet pickup. On the other hand, the V16 excels on hard floors and offers better pickup on high-pile carpet. It also has better battery life and near-perfect particle filtration that significantly outperforms the PowerPro. The V16 also comes with a turbo brush, which the PowerPro lacks, and includes a Submarine mopping floorhead for wet cleaning.
