Shark brand units are top rated by consumer reports. I replaced two Dysons with a shark. Also bought a shark shampoo unit and won’t consider a Dyson anytime soon. Dyson isn’t even in the top ten on the CR lists.
Yes! For me it was a huge game changer. We have the Shark Pet Pro which has lasted years and much less expensive than Dyson, but works just as well. My parents have a Dyson so we did a test, pitted the Dyson and Shark against each other. They performed the same
I have two sharks they’re great vacuums especially if you have pets and need something for their hair. My wife melted the Dyson and I was able to buy two sharks for the price of one Dyson. The pet pro version is amazing for getting their hair out of the carpet etc.
I have a Shark pet pro and it's been the best thing ever for us. We have hardwood on the main floor and carpet upstairs between 4 rooms. I can vacuum the upstairs carpet on highest setting and downstairs on a single charge. Main reason i got it is it had anti tangle brush so my wife's long hair gets sucked in without issues.
I am happy with my Shark Pet Pro, but I agree with your first paragraph. I have a plug in Dyson for "the big clean up" and I use the Shark just about daily for random bits I don't want to see any more. It is possible I am a slob and not one to take advice from on housework...
I just bought Refurb Dyson V15 with two years warranty for $420 CAD. My Shark Pet Pro is still working after 5.5 years but plastic starting to crack. Dyson is way stronger but requires changing heads. Green laser is legit.
I love this vacuum so much. We have a Dyson animal and I still use the shark pet pro exclusively. It's so good.
