Our Verdict

Shark Rocket Pet Pro

LG CordZero A9 [A916, A916BM]

The Shark Rocket Pet Pro and LG CordZero A9 each have advantages, and one may suit you better than the other, depending on your needs. The Shark incurs lower recurring costs, has fewer parts requiring regular maintenance, has a bigger dustbin, and is easier to maneuver. It also performs better on low-pile carpet. Conversely, the LG is more effective on high-pile carpet, weighs a little less, and can be bundled with a second battery that yields a longer maximum runtime.
