Our Verdict
Shark Rocket Pet Pro
Simplicity S65
The Shark Rocket Pet Pro is a better overall vacuum than the Simplicity S65. The Shark is easier to store, offers slightly better battery performance, has a surface type adjustment feature, and performs significantly better on low-pile carpet and bare floors. It's also a little more maneuverable. Conversely, the Simplicity offers superior performance on high-pile carpet.
