Dyson vs Shark: I love these brands and am happy to compare two brands that I really like: Dyson vs Shark. And I’m not just talking about popularity and marketing, but also about the real technical things that are ultimately important: suction, filtration, attachments, usability, durability and natural price. In recent months, I have worked extensively on models of both brands. But it’s at a point where I have to respond to questions like “Which vacuum brand is the best, Dyson or Shark?” Every other day, so I decided to make an extensive study on this subject. Each brand has made considerable efforts to reach the widest possible audience, so you can buy from manufacturers, lightweight, boxes or towel suits. In addition, Shark has made a lot of effort to expand the distribution of steam pads and scrubbers, and today you can buy their Pocket models, the Steam and Spray or their Sonic Duo. In the meantime, I have done a comparative review for this article to the following below:

In short, 30 seconds video under the CEO of Shark, Mark Rosenzweig tells us that an independent third party study has been conducted to compare these Dyson vs Shark models and confirm that two of the 3 American households confirm the Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away have been preferred.

Dyson vs Shark – Compare the brands

Shark is a Euro-Pro company that sells its products based on telemarketing, a form of marketing that uses extensive TV commercials. One of their most important advertising providers is Sitel, a giant in the field of customized marketing solutions. This particular form of advertising works very well in our country (US), but has little success on other continents (such as Europe or Australia). Unlike Shark, Dyson expanded its market range and serves countries with flying colors such as Japan, the United Kingdom and Canada.

A spicy news you might have heard, Shark has recently sued Dyson for his marketing logo: “Twice the suction”, used in both TV and product packaging, has been similar to XLERATOR a few years ago. I am not going to debate this, although I do not find the slogan as naive and informative as most of us do. There is a certain level of negativity and opaqueness that exceeds this multimillion line. Yet there’s a catch: Dyson launched this slogan for launching the latest Rotator Powered Lift-Away (which is compared to the last Dyson in the next section). At the beginning, there is a great possibility that it actually reflects the reality. With the latest Rotator upright, the shark got caught and was frustrated by its stubbornness.

Dyson vs Shark Suction

	Shark	Dyson
Logo
Number of employees	600	4500
2014 turnover	estimated $1.2 billion	estimated $8 billion
Market share	Estimated market share: 20%, according to this Forbes article. Estimated brand popularity: 5% according to my research	Estimated market share: 25%, based on the 2012 reports, but I would love newer figures from you guys.
History	Euro Pro is a 100 year old company, but Shark started just 30 years ago, in 1985.	Just 20 years of history took Dyson to become a titan among the moguls of this industry.

Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away (NV652) vs Dyson Cinetic Big Ball vs Dyson DC65 – what’s the best upright?

	Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away TruePet	Dyson Cinetic Big Ball	Dyson DC65 Animal Complete
Looks
Suction Power	270AW (according to their site)	180 AW (according to their site)	245 AW (according to their site)
Filtration	Complete Sealed HEPA System	Cinetic technology – no need for filters	Radial Root Cyclone technology + Lifetime washable post filter

VGM	96	96	97
Price	$289.99 or if you buy it directly from Shark’s site, $249.75 with a steam mop as bonus.	–	$569.41

Dyson definitely disappears with the appearance of the latest Rotator, which is surprisingly good. Even better, this device has a 7-year warranty and has (at least in theory, assuming Shark does not tell us lies) a powerful 270AW, the kind I’ve only seen in commercial sincere vacuum cleaners. Although there is a clear lack of quality and design (taste) between the Rotator and the Big Ball Cinetic (or the DC65), Shark is hard behind and more and more customers share forums and online retailers with their SharkClean happy story. For an incredible $ 250, Shark also offers a steam top, which IMO is great because it includes 95% of the cleaning needs. Long story short: Shark 1 – Dyson 0.

Shark Rocket TruePet vs Dyson V6 Absolute vs Shark Rotator (SV1107) – What is the best wireless and lightweight?

	Shark Rocket TruePet	Dyson V6 Absolute	Shark Rotator (SV1107)
Looks
Suction Power	Better suction than the DC40 (at least that’s what Shark is advertising on their product page). Anyway, I’ve put my hands on both the classic Rocket and on the TruePet edition, and the latter has far better suction, so I’ll count this as an improvement.	28 Air Watts (Standard Power) / 100 Air Watts (Boost mode)	Standard suction, comparable with the standard mode of the Dyson DC59. I would approximate it at around 25 AW.
Filtration	Advanced cyclonic technology and washable filters provide an acceptable filtration level.	Rinsable/washable filter together with 2 tiers of radial cyclones deliver a standard filtration.	Washable filters.
Batteries data / Cord length	Is a corded vacuum cleaner, with 30 ft of power cord.	Runs by pressing a trigger, and lasts around 24 minutes. Uses nickel manganese cobalt batteries, which are dependable and recharge in less than 4h.	Runs between 15 and 20 minutes, depending on the cleaning mode. The batteries have to be charged between 3 and 6 hours.
Bin capacity	0.22 gallons	0.105 gallons	0.30 gallons
Weight	8.1 lbs	4.9 lbs	10.1 lbs
Warranty	5 years	2 years	1 year
VGM	93	90	76
Price	$205.69	–	$249.99

As far as wireless vacuum is concerned, I have always stumbled upon people who do not understand that these types of vacuum are not the same with their related relatives in terms of performance. It’s actually very logical: battery operated vacuum cleaners use AC power input received from rechargeable batteries (in most cases, Li-Ion, although the NMCs have recently touched). Regardless of how well the batteries are or how fast they charge, they will exhaust after a while and their exhaustion follows the drop in suction power. Most wireless vacuum cleaners take about 15, 20 minutes of continuous use. More than that, it’s a gift to be cherished. Dyson’s V6 is a great wireless vacuum, but comparing the cut Shark Rocked would be like comparing pears with apples. Conclusion: It’s a tie this round!

Filtration	Anti-Allergen Complete Seal Technology + HEPA filters and cyclonic technology.	Cinetic technology + non-washable lifetime postmotor filter.	2 tiers of cyclones and lifetime washable pre and post motor filter

• Miele vs Dyson-which vacuum brand is best?

One can first of all note the experience Dyson has in the field of cloth bags. Practical Shark does not matter at all in this chapter. There are several Dyson models available, and the most complete include the latest Dyson Cinetic (some say it will be released in America under the name DC52) and the DC47, which conquer both Shark’s only box. Dyson vs Shark It’s a tie in general.

Shark Cordless Pet Perfect II vs Dyson DC58–how good are these handhelds?

	Shark Cordless Pet Perfect II	Dyson DC58
Looks
Suction Power	Less than 30AW.	28 AW (Standard Power) or 100 AW (Boost mode)
Attachments	– wall-mountable deluxe charging stand – extra-large motorized brush – crevice tool – dusting brush	– Crevice tool – Combination tool
Dust capacity	0.1 gallons	0.12 gallons
Weight & dimensions	4.2 lbs	3.4 lbs
Warranty	1 year	2 years
VGM	85	92
Price	$48.00	–

Shark Cordless Pet may be in the second version, but it needs many improvements before it can reach the DC58. Having said that, it’s still $ 100- $ 150 cheaper, so I think there’s a balance here. However, I will win this round for Dyson, especially those other wireless vacuum cleaners, as the DC59 can be transformed into handhelds.

My Final Verdict on Dyson vs Shark

Finally, whether you choose Dyson or Shark vacuum cleaner, it’s a decision that needs to be based on your needs. You need to focus on factors such as performance, budget, ease of use, the area to be cleaned, pet hair and special needs by weight. It should not be about choosing a brand over the other because you like it. However, it is remarkable that Shark or Dyson gives solid competition in comparing their performance and price difference.
