I got the Shark Detect Pro cordless and it actually works. I was skeptical too, but you can genuinely hear it ramp up when it hits my rugs vs. hardwood. I'm lazy so not having to mess with settings constantly is a huge win. Picks up my hair/fur without issue and the battery life is good too.

I had a Dyson. I did have it for about ten years and two battery changes. So actually not bad at all, but it became unusable recently so I bought a shark. I have one of the ‘pro detect’ ones. I think I got it for about £250 on sale. It’s a bit more clunky and heavy than the Dyson, and for some ridiculous reason they’ve made the head unit too big to go under beds (???) However I am still happy with it cos it really does pick up so much dust/dirt. I am havin renovation done so to avoid ruining the shark I go round with the classic Henry first to get all the rubble and big bits, it’s actually crazy how much more the shark picks up even though I’ve just vacuumed

Same price range, would return that and but the miele. I will say i got mine for 100$ on a liquidation website. But it beats my shark pet detect pro by a mile.

I have had the Dyson V15, the Shark, and the LG CordZero and so far, LG is the huge winner because of its price and power. It is most comparable to the V15, without the price tag. We had the dyson for about 18months before its motor started to go (apparently a well known issue) so we returned it. The LG has been as powerful as the v15, and I prefer its attachments over the dyson. We have hardwood, tile, and some high pile and low pile rugs. LG does a great job on them all as a “daily driver” where I need dust, cat hair, crumbs, and dirt picked up.

I have exactly this one for the same price from Costco bought 1.5 yrs back and works flawlessly. No complaints and highly recommended. Using it for both carpet as well as hard floors. Plus comes with detachable battery for charging and many attachments for different applications.

Shark Detect Pro or Dyson V8 (Fluffy head) are solid picks. No beater bar, good for hard floors. Both usually in that price range if on sale. EU stockists have ’em!

We just got this from Amazon about two months ago. It seems to only work well on low profile carpet. I took a video of it going over and over again on a small pile of pine needles on a tile floor and it picked up nothing. I had just cleaned it all out, as well. Removed hair, cleaned the brush, emptied everything. The other problem I had was the hose keeps getting clogged and its a pain to unclog it. We do have two labs, so there's a lot of hair - but thats why we bought this one! I hate it.

I have the Shark Detect Pro and really like it. I got it for about $250 with a promo code.
