hey Amazon so this is the Shark vtex Pro and this is the Dyson v11 and today we are going to break down these two vacuums and I'm going to tell you the difference between these two vacuums and hopefully we can find out which one is right for you now first off one of the first things that we have to talk about is about the size of these vacuums now the Dyson v11 the vacuum itself is a little larger and it is a little heavier than the vertex Pro because with the v11 the handheld vacuum itself weighs in at4 L and 9 oz yes we are rounding up here whereas the vertex Pro weighs in AT3 L3 Oz however when fully assembled with the neck and with the carpet cleaner attachment attached the Dyson v11 weighs in at6 lb and a half whereas the vtex pro weighs in at almost 9 lb so overall the complete package of the Dyson V V1 is overall lighter than the vertex Pro however another very important thing about the the v11 is going to be its overall design and its center of gravity the majority of the weight of the v11 is located here right um right above your wrist and right above your hand so this vacuum doesn't cause any wrist pain after like let's say 20 minutes of use whereas with the shark vertex Pro since the center of gravity of this vacuum is located more here more forward and down downwards I have noticed that after like let's say 10 minutes of use this vacuum does cause some discomfort in your wrist so that's definitely something that you want to keep in mind if you're a person with arthritis so overall the v11 is more comfortable to use than the vertex Pro because the complete package is overall lighter and also the center of gravity of this vacuum is located in a place where you aren't going to get wrist disc Comfort after a while of use however the v11 does have two drawbacks compared to the vtex pro that I do want to point out first off the bin on the v11 is just a little smaller than the bin on the vtex pro you're not really going to notice it but technically it is there but also the thing that I don't like about the v11 is that the v11 has a trigger that you have to keep held down for this vacuum to work and personally I do feel that having to constantly keep this trigger held down does get a little Annoying after a while and it does get a little tiring especially on your forearm whereas with the vertex Pro like I mentioned earlier the bin on this vacuum is just a little larger than the bin found on the v11 technically you're not really going to notice but technically it is there but more importantly with the vtex pro this vacuum has a power on button so once you turn this vacuum on it stays on you don't have to constantly keep a trigger held down and personally I do feel that that is a a lot more comfortable than having to keep the trigger held down on the v11 now when it comes to the overall performance of these two vacuums the v11 does have notably more suction than the vertex Pro but also the v11 is a little quieter than the vertex Pro while having more suction than the vertex Pro but right now we're just going to go ahead and do a quick sound test of these two vacuums now first off we're going to power on the vertex Pro and this is the vertex Pro running on eco [Applause] mode and we're going to switch over to the v11 on eco mode so that's the v11 and as you can notice it is noticeably quieter than the vertex Pro and it also has more suction than the vertex Pro now we're going to use these two vacuums while they're set to their medium settings here comes the vertex Pro so that's medium on the vortex Pro Here Comes medium on the
v11 so that's medium on the v11 again it is noticeably quieter and it has more suction than the vertex Pro and now we're going to use both of these vacuums on their boost modes so that was the vertex Pro while in its boost mode and here comes the v11 while in boost mode as well now yes both of these vacuums are louder but the 11 is a little quieter than the vertex Pro while also having more suction but now when it comes to the battery life of these two vacuums both of these vacuums have an advertised battery life of 60 Minutes however with the Dyson this vacuum has an advertised battery life of 60 minutes while it's running in its medium mode and this is the mode that you're going to be using most of the time because with both of these vacuums you only want to use their boost modes when you have to because when you use their boost modes that is going to drain the battery life a lot faster and also continuous use of the boost mode on both of these on both of these vacuums that is going to drain the overall health of your battery whereas with the vertex Pro this vacuum does have an advertised battery life of 60 Minutes however that is with this vacuum running on eco mode which is the quieter [Applause] mode which is this quieter mode here and that is also with this vacuum not using uh the uh motorized carpet cleaner head and that is also with this vacuum not having the carpet cleaner head set to its carpet mode which does take an additional toll on the battery life so overall with the Dyson v11 this vacuum not only has more suction than the vertex Pro not only is it quieter than the vertex Pro and not only is it lighter than the vertex Pro the battery life on the v11 does perform and last longer than the battery found on the vertex Pro however just keep in mind that battery life on both of these vacuums really does vary depending on how you use them and it also depends on what attachments you're using but speaking of the attachments that come included with both of these vacuums these are the two main attachments that come with the vertex Pro and with the v11 both of these vacuums come included with a motorized carpet cleaner head now the width of both of these carpet cleaner heads is about the same however as you can tell the v1's carpet cleaner head here it is a lot smaller and it is a lot lighter than the carpet cleaner head that comes included with the vertex Pro so with this carpet cleaner head that comes included with vv11 it is going to be easier to get under your furniture because it is just smaller and it's also a little more low profile but more importantly with the v11 the v11 scorp cleaner head only has one main roller whereas the head that comes included with the vertex Pro this corpor cleaner head has two rollers we do have our uh main roller here with the Fluffy fibers and this is the roller that's going to do the better job here of cleaning your hardwood floors and here is your secondary roller here that has stiffer bristles and it also has these rubber fins and this is the roller that's going to help get into your carpet however in order to activate this roller here you do have to set the vacuum over to its carpet cleaner mode and basically when this vacuum is set to it it's a default hardwood floor mode both of these rollers are going to spin equally however if you were to set this uh vacuum to its carpet cleaner mode then this secondary roller here it is going to spin up however just keep in mind that if you use this carpet cleaner ahead while in carpet mode that is going to drain your battery life faster because you are sacrificing some battery life to spin this secondary roller a lot faster but more importantly the vertex Pro only comes included with one motorized head whereas the v11 comes included with two motorized heads and basically this is just a smaller version of the larger carbet cleaner head but this is the head that you might want to use on your stairs carpet or if you have a Pet's bed but then there are also the non-motorized heads that come included with both of these vacuums now with the vertex Pro you get a single crevice tool but you also get a crevice tool with the v11 and basically both of these tools get the same job done however with the v11 you also get the second non-motorized tool here and this is basically a dusting tool either you can use this tool without the bristles or you can extend the bristles and this is going to be a good tool for like let's say dusting your carpet or for cleaning your um your uh computer's keyboard so overall the Dyson v11 does come included with more tools than the vertex Pro however one tool that the vertex Pro does have over the dys V1 is that it does have this multilex neck so with this it is going to make it easier for you to get under your furniture and uh let's say your bed however just keep in mind that due to the carpet cleaner heads thicker design it won't be able to get under as much Furniture as let's say the Dyson v1's carpet cleaner head because it is a little thinner but with all that being said the shark Vortex Pro is a very versatile vacuum that's going to work well on both hardwood floors and on carpets however with the Dyson v111 you are going to get some very significant upgrades with this this system now first off the v11 when fully assembled it is noticeably lighter than the vertex Pro and also thanks to the location of the center of gravity of this vacuum it doesn't cause any wrist pain after prolonged use the only thing that I don't like about fv1 is that you do have to keep this trigger held down and keeping this uh this trigger held down can get a little tiring after like let's say 20 minutes in the forearm however tireness in the forearm isn't as bad as having um rest discomfort with the vertex Pro now with the Dyson v11 more importantly you are getting better performance with this vacuum specifically this vacuum is a little quieter than the vertex Pro it does have better suction than the vertex Pro and the battery on the Dyson v11 does last a little longer than the battery found on the vertex Pro but also with both of these vacuums you do get your motorized carpet cleaner heads that are going to work well on hardwood floors and on carpets but with the v11 you are going to get a secondary motorized head alongside your two non-motorized crevice tools whereas with the vertex Pro you only get this single non-motorized head however something that the vertex Pro does have over the Dyson v11 is that it does come included with this multilex neck so it's going to make it a little easier for you to get under your furniture however personally I do feel that the Dyson v11 is going to be the better investment here because of the overall better performance and better Comfort than the vertex Pro
