so this is the shark vertex Pro and this is the Dyson V12 slim and today we are going to compare these two vacuums because they are very different from one another now first off obviously the V12 is significantly smaller than the vertex Pro the V12 weighs in at £3 and5 Oz and yes we are rounding up here whereas the vertex Pro weighs in AT3 lb3 Oz but more importantly when these two vacuums are fully built out the vertex Pro weighs in at almost 9 lb whereas the V12 slim weighs in at 5.2 lb with it fluffy optic tool and it will weigh in at 5.4 lb with the dedicated carpet cleaner head but more importantly is the center of gravity with these two vacuums with the V12 slim the center of gravity is located here above your wrist so when you're using this vacuum it's fairly comfortable whereas with the vertex Pro since the the center of gravity of this vacuum is located here on the bottom and forward what I have noticed is that after 10 minutes or so you do get a lot of discomfort here in the wrist because of the location of center of gravity so overall with the V12 slim this vacuum is a lot more comfortable to use than the vertex Pro because number one it is significantly lighter but also due to the center of gravity of this vacuum but then there's the overall performance of these two vacuums now the suction power on both of these vacuums is relatively the same I do feel that the vortex pro has a little bit more suction than the V12 but I do feel that the difference is very small however the major difference between these two vacuums is going to be their loudness because right now we're going to jump into a quick sound test now right now we're going to use both of these vacuums while they're set on their Eco modes so this is Eco Mode on the vertex Pro now here comes Ecco mode on the
V12 so as you can tell the V12 is a significantly quieter than the vertex Pro now here comes the medium mode on both of these vacuums so that was medium on the vertex Pro here comes a medium on the Dyson so that was medium on the Dyson and here comes the boost mode on both of these vacuums so that was boost mode on the vertex Pro Here Comes boost mode on the Dyson so like you may have just seen I do feel that the V12 is overall quieter than the vertex Pro but then there's the battery life on both of these vacuums now both of these vacuums have an advertised battery life of 60 minutes however that advertise by length of 60 Minutes is with both of these vacuums running while in their Eco modes however real roll use with the V12 running while it it's in automatic mode it's going to be good for around 40 minutes and while the V12 is set to its automatic mode is going to automatically spin up its speed so if you need more suction if it detects a lot of dirt it's going to do that and if it detects less dirt then it's going to automatically lower its suction so overall real world use the V12 is going to be good for around 40 minutes of use but just keep in mind by life on both of these vacuums really varies depending on how you use them and what you're cleaning whereas battery life on the vertex Pro isn't as good now if you have this vacuum set to Eco and while in its hard woods floor mode then the battery life on this vacuum is going to be good for up to 46 minutes or if you have this vacuum set to Eco and if you have it set to its carpet mode then it's going to be good for up to 30 minutes but real real use if you were to use this vacuum while it's in its corpet mode and while it's set to its medium mode then it's going to be good for around 20 minutes if that but more importantly the vertex Pro does not have an automatic mode to it so you are going to have to manually switch this vacuum from its eco mode to its boost mode back to its medium mode or back to its eco mode whereas with the V12 the V12 will automatically handle all of that if you have it set to Auto but if if you want to extend its battery life you can set it over to Eco and if you have a very big mess to clean up you can set it over to boost but then there are the included accessories that come with these two vacuums and plainly said the Dyson comes included with a lot more accessories than the vertex Pro now with the vertex Pro you do get this motorized carpet cleaner head and this head here does have the same width as the heads that come included with the Dyson however the head that comes included with the vertex Pro it is a lot larger and it is a lot heavier but the thing with this head here is that this head does have two built-in rollers we have our roller here for the hardwood floors that has very soft bristles and we have our secondary roller here for the carpet that has your stiffer Bristols and it also has these rubber fins now when you turn this vacuum on both of these rollers are going to be spinning however if you were to set this vacuum over to its carpet mode then this secondary roller here is going to spin up faster to help you get a deeper clean in your carpets overall this roller is going to be able to handle both hardwood floors and carpets and this roller also has buil-in LEDs and personally I do like that this roller does have this built-in rubber stopper on the front which is going to help protect your furniture but then there's the Dyson now the Dyson comes included with this carpet cleaner head here and this carpet cleaner head here has your softer bristles here and it also has your stiffer bristles here so this carpet cleaner head is going to work well on both carpets and hardwood floors but personally I do feel that the carpet cleaner head that comes included with the shark is going to give you a deeper clean in your carpets specifically because it has those built in rubber fins whereas the Dyson just doesn't but what really separates the Dyson V12 slim here from the vertex Pro is this fluffy optic tool now this fluffy optic tool is going to be best suited for your hardwood floors because this tool here has your very soft bristles but the really interesting thing about this head here is it also has a green buil-in LED and this green buil-in LED really helps you find any dirt or dust on your hardwood floors a lot better than the white LED found on the shark so personally I do feel that if you have a lot of hardwood floors to clean up then you're definitely going to want to go with the Dyson specifically because of the green built-in LED on the fluffy optic tool but also the Dyson does come included with a third motorized head and this is the tool that you might want to use if you want to clean a carpeted staircase or if you want to do some detail work in your car if you want to clean up upholstery or if you want to clean your pet's bed but both of these vacuums also come included with non-motorized heads now both these shark and Dyson come included with very similar crevice tools but the Dyson also comes included with this dusting tool that also has built-in bristles that you can either extend or retract so overall yes the Dyson comes included with a lot more tools than the vertex Pro however one tool that the vertex Pro does have over the Dyson V12 slim is that it does have this flexible neck so you can actually Bend this neck and it's going to make it easier for you to get under your furniture like let's say your sofa or your mattress so with all that being said if you're trying to choose between the shark vertex Pro and the Dyson V12 slim personally I do recommend the Dyson over the Shark vtex Pro for multiple reasons now first off with the Dyson you are going to get a lot more accessories than you do with the shark and if you have a lot of hardwood floors to clean up personally I do recommend the Dyson because you also get that fluffy optic tool with that built-in green LED which makes it a lot easier for you to find any dirt or dust that you have on hardwood floors but also with the V12 slim this vacuum is a lot more comfortable to use than the shark because first off it is significantly lighter but also due to the center of gravity of this vacuum being above your hand you're not going to get any discomfort like you do with the vertex Pro whose center of gravity is down and out also with the Dyson V12 this vacuum does have the same suction performance as the vertex Pro however this vacuum is noticeably quieter than the vertex Pro and more importantly the battery life on the V12 is a lot better than the batter life found on the vertex Pro the only main drawback about the V12 is going to be the size of the bin the bin in the V12 is half the size if not a little bit more than the bin found on the vertex Pro however the vertex Pro is still a very capable vacuum and it might be a better option for you if you plan on vacuuming a lot of carpets because its head has those built in rubber fence and also the vertex Pro does come included with that collapsible neck making it easier for you to get below your furniture but the ver Pro does have its issues that you might want to be aware about like its battery life its volume and its slight discomfort due to the censor of gravity of this vacuum
