so this is the shark detect Pro and this is the Dyson Gen 5 and today we are going to compare these two vacuums and we're going to tell you the difference between these two vacuums because these two systems are very different from one another now first off the most obvious difference between these two vacuums is going to be their size now the detect Pro is a lot smaller than the Gen 5 and it weighs in at 2 lb4 oz and yes we are rounding up here whereas the Gen 5 weighs in at 5 lb now here we're not rounding up because there is a little bit of dirt here in the bin but when fully built out the Gen 5 weighs in at 7.7 lb whereas the detect Pro weighs in at a little over 6 lb so the detect Pro is a little lighter than the Gen 5 but more importantly since the detu pro is just smaller than the Gen 5 it is a little bit more comfortable using this vacuum than the Gen 5 however one of the trade-offs with the detect Pro is that the collection bin is significantly smaller however if you were to get the automatic dock with the detect Pro then this automatic dock is going to automatically clean out your bin and this automatic dock is also going to charge your vacuum up so every single time that you reach for your vacuum your vacuum is going to be completely cleaned out and the battery is going to be completely full whereas with the Gen 5 unfortunately we just don't have this option with the Gen 5 you are going to have to manually clean out your bin every single time and you're also going to have to manually plug this vacuum into charge however where the Gen 5 really overtakes the detect Pro is going to be in overall performance the Gen 5 has significantly more suction power than the detect Pro while being a little quieter but so that you can hear for yourself we're going to jump into a sound test now here comes the detect Pro while it is set to its eco mode so this is Eco Mode on the detect Pro
Here Comes eco mode on the Gen
5 so as you can hear while the Gen 5 is in eco mode it is significantly quieter than the detect Pro and it has significantly more suction power than the detect Pro now here come the medium modes on both of these vacuums
so that was medium mode on the detect Pro now we're going to go over to medium mode on the Gen
5
so again the Gen 5 is significantly quieter than the detect Pro and it has a significantly more suction than the detect Pro while in medium mode but here come the Boost modes on these two
vacuums so that's boost on a v detect Pro Here Comes boost on a v Gen 5
now here when it comes to the volume of these two vacuums while in boost mode I do feel that it's a little close but I still think the gen5 is a little quieter than the detect Pro specifically because the hum isn't as high pitched but more importantly the Gen 5 again has a lot more suction than the theack pro but then there's the battery life on both of these vacuums now the Gen 5 has an advertised bar life of 70 minutes and the detect pro has an advertised bar life of 60 Minutes however these advertised batter life of 70 minutes and 60 Minutes is with both of these vacuums running while they're in their eco mode however if you were to use these two vacuums while they're in their auto mode then the Gen 5 on average is going to be good for about 50 minutes whereas the detect Pro is going to be good for about 40 minutes now both of these vacuums have an automatic mode and what automatic mode does on these vacuums is that these vacuums will automatically adjust their section depending on what they're cleaning however I do prefer the automatic mode on the detect Pro over the Gen 5 because the automatic mode on the detect Pro does a better job of communicating to you exactly what's happening with the detect Pro there are indicator lights on both the vacuum itself and on the carpet cleaner head and basically when this indicator light turns red is telling us that the vacuum has detected some dirt or dust so it's going to spin up its speed when the indicator light turns to Yellow is basically telling you hey we're currently cleaning this area please keep the carpet cleaner on this area while we clean this area up and then when the indicator light on this vacuum turns blue is basically telling you hey this area is now cleaned and the vacuum will automatically lower the speed of its suction so personally I do prefer the indicator light on the detect Pro over the Gen 5 however the Gen 5 does have some graphs on the back telling you exactly what's happening as well but I don't think these graphs are as easy to read as the indicator lights found on the detect Pro but something that I do like about the LCD screen on this vacuum is that it does a much better job of telling you exactly how much battery life you have left but now we have to talk about the included accessories that come with these two vacuums and plainly said the Dyson comes included with a lot more accessories than the detect Pro now both of these vacuums have your motorized carpet cleaner head and both of these carpet cleaner heads have the same width to them however the caror cleaner head that comes with the detect Pro is a lot different than the carp cleaner heads that come with the Dyson now there are a lot of sensors in this corpet cleaner head and this is what helps the vacuum detect what it's cleaning up and it also helps the uh the vacuum decide what speed it should be sucking at now if this cleaner has a single roller and this roller here has a lot of soft bristles and these are the bristles that are going to do the better job here of cleaning your hardwood floors this roller also has stiffer bristles here and these are the bristles that are going to help you get deeper into your carpet but there are also these rubber fins here and these rubber fins are going to help you get even deeper into your carpet as well but this here is the carpet cleaner head that comes with the Dyson now this carpet cleaner head is a little different from the carpet cleaner heads that come in included with either the Dyson v11 or the V12 now this corper cleaner head is also motorized and there is a single roller and we do have our stiffer bristles here and these are the bristles that are going to help you get into your carpet and these are the softer bristles here and these bristles are going to be for your hardwood floors so this carpet cleaner head is actually going to work well on both carpet and on hardwood floors but something that is unique to this Corp cleaner head here is that you can actually adjust the suction of this carpet cleaner head here so that is going to help you get a better clean whether you're on a hardwood floor or on carpets but also the Gen 5 comes included with this fluffy optic tool and this is the one that you want to use if you're going to be cleaning a lot of hardwood floors but what's really unique about the fluffy optic tool is that it has a buil-in green LED and this built-in green LED really helps you find any dirt or dust when you're cleaning up your hardwood floors so whenever you're vacuuming your hardwood floors you'll be able to to know if it's actually clean or not so even though this led is a very simple tool it is a very useful tool but also the Gen 5 does come included with this smaller motorized corpet cleaner head and this is the head that you'll want to use either on your carpeted staircase or if you want to clean up in your car or if you have a pet bed or if you have any other upholstery now both of these vacuums come included with dusters now with the detect Pro this duster here you can either have the bristles on or you can actually take these bristles off and use this tool like so whereas with the Dyson this combination tool is a lot easier to use you can either use it without the bristles or if you want you can extend the bristles out but also both of these vacuums come included with a crevice tool now this is the crevice tool that comes included with the detect Pro whereas with the Gen 5 its crevice tool is built into the neck attachment here so whenever you're going to use the crevice tool you can just remove the neck and if you want the bristles you can leave the bristles exposed or you can always bring the bristles in and then you can use your cice tool like so and when you're done using the C tool you can just go ahead and attach the long neck attachment again so with all that being said if you're trying to choose between the shark detect Pro and the Dyson Gen 5 with the shark detect Pro this is a very capable vacuum and personally I really like the detect Pro especially if you get the automatic docking tool because with the automatic docking tool your vacuum is going to be automatically cleaned out and it's going to be automatically charged up so every single time that you reach for your vacuum it's going to be ready to go however with the Gen 5 you are going to get some significant performance improvements first off with the Gen 5 you are going to get a longer lasting battery life with the Gen 5 you're also going to get significantly more suction and is also going to be a lot quieter which is a very big luxury especially when using this vacuum at home and with the Gen 5 you are going to get significantly more attachments than you do with the detect Pro
