Dyson V15
Verdict
The Dyson V15 remains the better choice if you want the highest suction, a refined user experience, and strong filtration, and you are willing to pay a premium for it. It is lighter, quieter, and longer-running than the Shark in real-world use, though it cannot self-empty and still struggles with very large debris pieces compared with some rivals.
