Which is better for pet hair?

The Dyson V9 Submarine lists pet hair as a top use case and works on all floor types. The Narwal S30 lists hair tangles and bacterial removal instead, so the Dyson is the safer pick for shedding pets.

Which has the longer battery life?

The Narwal S30 runs up to 60 minutes; the Dyson V9 Submarine runs up to 40 minutes. The S30 also covers up to 3,700 sq ft per charge.

Is the Narwal S30 too heavy to carry upstairs?

At 9.6 lbs it is more than twice the Dyson's 4.6 lbs. If you carry the machine between floors often, the Dyson is easier.

Does either one clean itself?

The Narwal S30 washes at 176°F and dries at 158°F. Dyson does not list self-wash or drying temperatures for the V9 Submarine.

The Narwal S30 is rated 45 dB(A). Dyson does not list a noise level for the V9 Submarine, so the S30 is the only one with a quiet claim.

Is one worth the extra cost?
