- Which is better for pet hair?
- The Dyson V11 Outsize. Its higher 545 W motor, wider head and de-tangling tech suit homes with pets. The Shark handles pet hair too but with less suction.
- Which is easier to carry upstairs?
- The Shark Detect Pro. It weighs 2.76 kg against 7.94 lb for the Dyson, and it converts to a handvac for stairs and cars.
- Do both run 60 minutes?
- Yes, both are rated up to 60 minutes, and both take about 4.5 hours to charge. Real runtime drops on max power for either.
- Is the Dyson worth the extra money?
- At $169.90 at eBay as of November 7, 2026, the Dyson is priced close to many cordless vacuums. It is worth it if you need the extra suction and wider head; otherwise the lighter Shark is enough.
- Which has better filtration?
- Both are HEPA. The Shark uses a HEPA filter with an Anti-Allergen Complete Seal; the Dyson uses HEPA whole-machine filtration.
- Can I store either without drilling the wall?
- The Shark stands freestanding. The Dyson V11 Outsize uses a wall mount, so you need to fix it to a wall.
