We have all solid floors and looked at Dyson and Shark. We felt the Dyson V10 was the best for us. The problem we found with the Shark on hard floors was as you move the head forward and backwards, the Shark didnt perform well when pulling backwards. We have friends have the Shark and they find the same. I think there is an issue with the design of the head.

I have always had a Dyson but got a shark this time and i love mine . The head on mine twists and I have carpet and hard floors. Did get a free pet tool which I gave to someone as we don’t have pets . Have other family members that have sharks too.
I think it’s one of those things there is no answer to which is better just what is personal choice ..

We have purchased Dyson vacuum products for years until we bought an 06 Cordless. It was utter garbage and then began cutting out on us, despite being fully charged. We purchased a Shark Cordless.

We absolutely love it. We have a mixture of hard and soft floors, but don’t even bother changing the setting on it. We leave it on ‘carpet’ all the time. Charge on it is more than enough for our whole 4 bedroom house to be done thoroughly.

I’ve been researching these recently.

I narrowed it down to the Miele TriFlex Pro and the Dyson V11 Absolute.

I think I will buy the Miele for various reasons, but both look great and are recommended by Which.

I recently replaced a Dyson pet model for a Shark pet model, I don’t recall exactly what it is, but definitely ones designed to cope with pet hair.

I have found the Shark to be very effective and I like that it comes with two battery packs, the one charge on the Dyson was never quite enough to do the whole house which was annoying.

Things I don’t like about it though are that it is very heavy to push around and it is quite tiring doing the whole house without a rest somewhere along the line. Also it has blocked a few times and we have had to pull it apart and use implements to pull out perfectly compacted tubes of dog hair and whatever else it has picked up.

Overall the cons out weigh the pros and I wouldn’t buy a Shark if I had my time over.

I've got a baby Dyson and love it but my sister was showing me her shark on the video chat and I have to admit it looks great ( yes we are an exciting bunch when we get on that video chat)

We have a Shark Cordless, which is much better than our previous Dyson Cordless.

But we also have a Shark corded liftaway, and that has much more suction and is much better than our Shark Cordless.

The Shark Cordless is good for a quick flick over with a hoover, but the corded picks up a lot more.
