Unlike Dyson, the Shark has two rollers for the best pickup on both carpets and hard floors, so there is no need to switch between the two.

Unlike Dyson, the Shark has Multiflex technology that folds the vacuum to reach areas under furniture. This feature helps to store the vacuum on its own.

The display is more on a basic side; it shows battery level and cleaning modes and is not as advanced as the Dyson's one.

Another downside is the lack of a motorised brush for the handheld mode. If you want to clean unphosltery or something, you can't do it with the Shark.

Dyson V15 Detect

The Dyson V15 Detect comes with lots of attachments, including a roller brush that wasn't an option for the previous models in this list. The Hair screw tool helps to clean upholstery and tight spaces. A roller brush has LED lights that help to track dust and debris.

Unlike Shark, the Dyson comes with two cleaning heads, one for carpet and one for hard floor, so you have to switch when needed. The dust illumination only comes with the fluffy roller.

Unlike Shark, the Dyson has an advanced vivid display.

Unlike Shark, the Dyson doesn't fold and has to be hung on a wall for storage.

The Dyson is a great device for carpets and hard floors, one of the best on the market.

So which one to buy

The Shark PowerDetect IP1251 has a basic display and a two-roller system, folds when needed, adjusts suction depending on the cleaning situation, and doesn't need to be hidden somewhere for storage. The DuoClean is one of the best for debris pickup and does a good job of getting deep into carpets.

On the other hand, the Dyson V15 Detect has a rich-featrured display and two separate rollers, each does its best for different floor types; adjusts suction on carpet and dirty areas; has a small motorized brush for upholstery cleaning and a bigger dustbin.

However, the price might make a difference since the Shark is half of the Dyson's price. Another Shark's pro is the auto-emptying version. Even with the station, the Shark is cheaper than the Dyson.

As to power, both do great on carpets, yet the Shark has one of the best pickup scores on the market, thanks to the dual roller system.

Both manufacturers have great customer support to help when you need it.
