Which is better for carpet?

The Hoover has the wider 13.5-inch path and five height settings, so it covers carpet faster. The Shark's brush roll is motorized and can be switched off, which makes it the more flexible choice if you also have bare floors.

Which is better for stairs and cars?

The Shark. Its canister detaches so you carry only the pod, and it comes with a pet brush. The Hoover stays in one piece and reaches stairs only through its 8 ft hose.

Which is better for allergies?

The Shark's Anti-Allergen Complete Seal plus HEPA is rated to trap over 99.9% of dust and allergens. The Hoover also has a HEPA media filter and cyclonic system, but it does not claim a sealed system.

Is the Shark worth $10 more?

Yes if you clean stairs, upholstery or cars, or want brush roll shutoff for hard floors. If your home is mostly carpet, the Hoover's wider path and cord rewind are worth more than the $10 saved.

The Shark at 15.96 lb versus the Hoover at 17.8 lb. The difference matters most when carrying the vacuum between floors.

Do both have HEPA filters?

Yes. Both are HEPA certified. The Hoover's filter is washable and rinseable; the Shark pairs its HEPA filter with a sealed allergen system.
