Which is better for pet hair?

The Shark PowerPro Pet has the edge. Its self-cleaning PowerFins nozzle is built to stop hair wrap, and its 0.8 qt cup holds more pet hair before you empty it. The Dreame uses a V-shaped bristle brush with comb-like teeth, which also helps but is not self-cleaning.

Which is easier to carry around the house?

The Dreame R10 Pure. At 4 lbs it is about 3 lbs lighter than the 7.03 lb Shark, which matters on stairs and for above-floor cleaning.

Is the Shark worth the extra money?

At recent lows the Shark costs $179.00 against $149.99 for the Dreame, about $29 more. You pay that for the larger dust cup, the self-cleaning brushroll and the 5-year warranty. If you do not have shedding pets, the Dreame is the better value.

Which runs longer on one charge?

The Dreame, at up to 60 minutes. The Shark is rated up to 50 minutes, measured at the handvac in standard mode. Real runtime drops on both in high-power mode.

Do both have HEPA filtration?

Yes. The Shark uses washable foam pre-motor filters plus a HEPA post-motor filter. The Dreame uses a 5-stage HEPA system rated up to 99.9% filtration efficiency.

Which holds more dirt?

The Shark. Its 0.8 qt cup is roughly four times the Dreame's 0.16 gal capacity, so you empty it far less often.

Shark PowerPro Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum vs Dreame R10 Pure Cordless Vacuum

Pick the Dreame R10 Pure if you want the lightest stick vacuum and the lowest price: $149.99 at its lowest since October 30, against $179.00 for the Shark as of November 2. Pick the Shark PowerPro Pet if pet hair wrap and a bigger dust cup matter more than weight, since its self-cleaning PowerFins nozzle and 0.8 qt cup beat the Dreame's 0.16 gal cup. Both are cordless sticks with HEPA filtration, so the choice comes down to weight and price versus hair handling and capacity.
