Our Verdict

Shark Rocket Pet Pro

Dyson V8

The Dyson V8 and the Shark Rocket Pet Pro are similarly performing vacuums. The Dyson is more portable and comes with more tools and brushes, including a unique 180-degree extension tool designed to help you clean hard-to-reach areas. The Shark is better at cleaning bare floors, feels slightly better built, has a shorter charge time, and is significantly more maneuverable.
