Our Verdict

Shark Rocket Corded

Dyson V8

The Dyson V8 is a better stick/handheld vacuum for cleaning low- and high-pile carpets than the Shark Rocket Corded. The Dyson has a more effective exhaust filter, is easier to store, and, most importantly, is cordless, so its range is limited only by the remaining charge. You can also adjust its power level, which is nice. However, the Shark performs a bit better on bare floors, and it's easier to maintain.
