I just got the v15. I wouldn't pay the £699 price tag. I found it on dysons ebay outlet page. Its refurbished but looked brand new when I received it from dyson. Well worth the 316 I paid.
A lot of complainers here, but he covered practical things like noise, weight, charge time, form factor, storage convenience. The only thing I didn't see were attachments. If he put 200 cherrios on the ground -- 100 on each side -- I can tell you the Dyson would pick up 98 and the Shark would get about 95. Whether that's worth twice the cost is up to you.
Same - I loved this dual purpose design and definitely recommend Shark over Dyson products ALL DAY EVERY DAY, because they just work better and last longer. What can you do?! 🤷🏻♂️ It’s either get an inferior vacuum that will break in 2 years or less, or have a TANK of a vacuum that lasts until the 2040s. I’ll take the longevity please! 😊❤
Im going to throw in my 2 sense, have both units at home now, doing my own test and yes its a struggle, but I love the fluffy roller for my now new lvp and it sees/shows the dirt but doesn't work well on thicker carpet with the other head ( i dont like changing tools often since we only have 20 minute clean time) I have shark duo clean corded and have had it since came out and it has every tool imaginable like the dyson but, rarely use them . The shark gets corners clean easily and doesn't choke on the carpet and have to be reset! One has to go back and Im leaning to the shark because It doesn't have to be mounted, and the 2 tools it comes with work well for vacuuming behind toilets but it is 2 lbs heavier than the dyson the dyson went back
I have the dyson v15 and I’ve had it for a few years now. The choking on carpet is so real. At this point every time I use it some new sensor is popping up with an issue. About to buy the shark and hopefully it’s better lol L
The Air Watts ratings you give at the beginning is for Boost mode on the Dyson and I suspect Shark as well, so that means that it’s not as powerful as claimed when used in the home to vacuum on the recommended Auto/Boost mode. Not sure how these companies can get away with claiming air watts in boost or max when they then recommend in the manual and website under battery care not to use Boost mode often!!
hi! I speak about this whenever I review a Dyson. Air watts is like max Horsepower on a car. Your car can have 1000 max horsepower but it won't last very long if you are redlining to use it. Dyson really does have great low end suction while the shark has to be on a higher setting to recreate similar results. However, the tradeoff is the Shark has dual brushrolls and easier to store.
I'm personally leaning towards the stratos, the pickup is just much much better on both hard flooring and carpet. I don't want to go over the same spot 5 times to pick up everything.
The fact that the shark lifts up at the rear wheels when pulling it back annoys me. I have the Stratos and an older stick Dyson and seems that the Dyson does not do this... No idea why.
I am currently deciding between these 2. Shark is half the price of the dyson at my local store. dyson was only released recently and shark looks to be 2 years old technology. with the dyson, which I specifically wanted to buy, the sales guy spilt the canister contents on the floor to show me how easy it is to empty. He then vacuumed up the dusty mess on the floor. i have to say I wasn't that impressed. he had to go over it many times. it was a carpet surface and he may have had the hard floor surface tool ... but still this was really just stuff sitting on the surface. so i felt I was back to square 1. I then found the shark and really like that it stands up by itself and can bend to half the size and is half price but no idea if it would have picked up the dusty mess any better than the dyson.
I loved the Dyson’s soft brush performance, BUT ASIDE from that… no way would I choose it over the Shark. Sorry, but Shark has made its home in our home, & it’s here to stay. Period. I love the performance we get, & the filters are a FRACTION of the cost for replacements from Dyson. Generic “Dyson” replacements are garbage in my opinion, whereas on the Shark, some companies make BETTER quality filters than Shark itself, so we buy those and the performance is even BETTER for 1/4 the cost of a Dyson. Literally. I’m never going to not recommend Shark, because they just…work so well. Dyson has made some AWFUL 😣 products over the years…like the Dyson Sphere line, ahem, which wouldn’t fit under anything at all unless it was taller than a Basketball 🏀… 😑 😣 it was painful to use that thing… & the attachments broke or fell apart so easily. Didn’t even last 2 years. I’ve had my first Shark vacuum now for almost 4 1/2 years and it works like the day it was purchased. ❤
@@neurofunk2731DON'T wash the tubular zigzag filter, hoover it with another vac (I have a 2nd hand Shark cordless & a 2 Numatic Georges & a Henry for heavier work). People burn cordless vacs out with heavy duty cleaning, & don't clean the filters, then moan that they're unreliable. Cordless uprights have TINY motors. The batteries are small for a reason! 1½hrs a day 4 times a week would burn out a cordless upright in 2-3 years. My Numatics are 25+yrs old!!
@@bepositive796V10's & V11's are famous for motors dying. Dyson send another motor unit under warranty & apparently.... they too, die... Is the V15 any better?? Shark get rated as unreliable, but I bought 1 motor & 3 uncleaned motorised head units off Ebay, all 3 were used for cleaning concrete, brick dust/chippings, etc. I cleaned the heads/bin & filters & they ALL work fine.

This is why Dysons can be tricky. I wish they would help their customers more. They refused a return from me because their own customer service didn't answer me in time. I even had te receipts and proof but they just ignored me
I don't think it would work. I tried to put my Dyson V8 and V6 stick on. It does Not fit. It seems purposely design to make it uninterchangeable. Sadly because I had Absolute version which cost more with attachment.
Shark have MANY different ranges, both corded & cordless. You cannot even swap Shark attachments between it's own ranges! Annoying when trying to buy 2nd hand Shark attachments from ebay!! So it's a BIG NO for Shark->Dyson
hi! The Dyson V15 has higher peak suction power but on lower settings and in normal use, suction power is about the same. I have used both to pick up cat nip (leafy and sticks to carpet fibers) and on max mode, the dyson outperformed the shark in how much cat nip it removed.
The lithium ion batteries must be running in series high amps, because 2375mAh sucks. My cell phone has double those mili-amp hours, albeit 1/4 the amps
i just ordered this V15 detect at 799 ( canadian ) 580 ( US )....is that a good deal ? was 200 off ( regular 999 canadian ). I went to a Dyson store and tried them all and i liked the V15 , the trigger was so easy I don't think it will be an issue at all...cheers from Vulcan Canada
We bought our V15 Dyson Detect Absolute online from Dyson at the $200 off deal and used the savings to get a 2nd battery. We’re really pleased with it as we have a 3 level home and 2 dogs and a cat that shed a lot. Cheers also from Didsbury AB
It’d be great if you could adjust your audio when editing your videos because I can’t understand what you’re saying. I’m on a really nice full range home theater sound and because you don’t do it any EQ to pull out the low frequencies my subwoofer is shaking and it’s just tons of base making you sound like.Woo woooo wooo wooo wooo woo woooo. It’s like listening to a conversation through a wall. When your dialogue track you need to cut off all frequencies below 200 Hz That’s the problem when people edit on laptops or cheap computer speakers because you don’t hear all the low frequency you think everything sounds great.
On the carpet you’ve compared them using the wrong Dyson attachment and then said Dyson doesn’t work as well - yes because you’re using the wrong attachment ! You’ve also not mentioned Dyson’s flexibility in moving around the floor due to the mini ball joint …which facilitates ergonomic and very efficient manoeuvring. The Dyson also charges much more quickly than the FOUR hours for the Shark you mentioned …. I see you having to lift the Shark up to move it around the carpet - probs because of the dual head, whereas the Dyson moves effortlessly around both hard and soft surfaces. Glad I bought my Dyson.
The Dyson has a lot of advanced technology inside it. It has a piezo sensor that listens to the dirt going in it and then displays the particle size on the screen and automatically adjusts its power setting depending on the amount of dust sucked up, This is pretty clever and that green laser highlights the invisible dust that we can’t normally see. This review failed to highlight those clever functions of the V15.
My Dyson V15 just died. It wouldn’t stop cutting out on its own regardless of how much I clean it. I just ordered the Sharkclean Detect Pro with the emptying unit.
@@duckieQThat sounds like the common V10/V11 motor issue. Dyson send replacements & the same happens. However, I used an already well used (3 yr old?) V8 at work for 2 years & it chugged away quite happily. People always forget to clean the filters/rollers regularly on ANY vacuum, which strains the motors! I only ever wash FOAM filters, NOT fibre filters & have a Numatic for heavy cleaning that I hoover filters with! REGULARLY!!
Shocking review. If you're going to compare, have them do the same tasks.

You are 💯 correct and aw is an indication of the Max suction available
Thank you for the specific information, it helped a lot! But I’m still not sure which one to get. I have tile at my house and some carpet.
I'm personally leaning towards the stratos, the pickup is just much much better on both hard flooring and carpet.
I don't want to go over the same spot 5 times to pick up everything.
I bought the shark and love it so far
Love the shark, better than the Dyson we had.
Is light, easier to use,gets everything clean.
The fact that the shark lifts up at the rear wheels when pulling it back annoys me. I have the Stratos and an older stick Dyson and seems that the Dyson does not do this... No idea why.
I got dyson outsize and shark stratos I Would highly recommend stratos it rarely clogged and it ate up mostly everything
agree
What is 'medium' mode on the shark you mentioned? Is that CleanIQ?
Which one would you say makes the most noise? Thanks so much for your review
The Dyson is noisier but the Shark is more high pitched.
Still can’t wait for a review on a Samsung bespoke jet vs Dyson and Shark. Thanks
its coming this week I hope!

Dysons seem to have cut more corners over the years. The plastic feels flimsy compared to the Shark, you can year it creaking as it moves around.
Have you ever swop dyson attachment on shark becuz I owned shark vertex but the motorized attachment just got destroyed
