Dyson V15 Detect vs Shark Stratos: is Dyson still worth double the price?

Shark has closed the gap on suction. Whether that's enough depends on your floors.

Dyson still wins on hard floors and fine dust, but the margin is now narrow enough that Shark is the value pick for carpeted homes.

Hard floors and allergies push you to the Dyson. Mostly carpet, pets and a tighter budget make the Shark the smarter buy — you're paying £170 less for perhaps five percent less cleaning.
