Our Verdict
Dyson V11
Shark Rocket Pet Pro
The Shark Rocket Pet Pro and the Dyson V11 are similarly performing stick/handheld vacuums. The Shark feels better built, it's significantly more maneuverable, and it has a better performance on bare floors and low-pile carpets. The Dyson, on the other hand, is easier to maintain, has a bigger dirt compartment, and more tools. It also has better performance on high-pile carpets.
