Shark Detect Pro Vs Shark Vertex Pro - Which Is Right For You?

hey Amazon so this is the shark vertex Pro and this is the shark detect Pro and today we are going to go ahead and give you a comparison of these two vacuums and we're going to tell you which one is the better vacuum for you now first off the first thing that we do have to talk about here is going to be the size of these vacuums now the detect Pro is a lot smaller than the vertex Pro the detect Pro weighs in at24 Oz and here we are just going to round up whereas the vertex Pro weighs in at 3 lb and 13 Oz again we are rounding up here now one of the things that I do have to point out about the vertex Pro is that since the vertex Pro is noticeably larger it does have a larger bin in it so when you're out collecting you know your dirt or your dust with the vertex Pro the bin is going to be able to hold more dirt than the detect Pro because with the detect Pro this bin pin is significantly smaller than the vertex Pro however with the detect Pro you can always get the optional uh automatic Dock and whenever you insert the vacuum into the dock the will automatically clean out the detect Pro and all of that dirt will be stored here inside of this larger bin which you can then just take over to the garbage and and uh throw everything out now one of the things about this bin is that even though you can let your dirt and your dust collect inside of this bin the good thing about this bin is that there is an odor neutralizer so even if you have your dirt in here for a few days it's not going to stank up your apartment because you do have this odor neutralizer just keep in mind that the odor neutralizer you do have to replace it from time to time but again once the uh Bin itself has been cleaned out you can just attach it back onto the dock and you're good to go whereas with the vertex Pro you are going to have to manually clean out this bin every single time but also with the detu pro if you have the automatic dock the dock not only cleans out your bin it also keeps your vacuum fully charged so every time that you reach for this vacuum it's going to be fully charged and it's going to be emptied out whereas with the vertex Pro whenever you're going to charge this vacuum up you do have to manually plug it in now when it comes to the battery life of these vacuums both of these vacuums have an advertised batter life of 60 Minutes however that advertised batter life of 60 Minutes is with both of these vacuums running while they're in their eco mode and that's also while these vacuums are in their handheld mode however if you were to use these vacuums with their motorized heads as in how you would actually use these vacuums let's say 95% of the time with the vtex Pro this vacuum has an advertised battery life of 46 minutes while in eco mode while in floor mode or if you were to use this vacuum while in carpet mode while in eco mode this vacuum is only going to last you for 30 minutes whereas with the detect Pro if you were to use this vacuum with its motorized head ATT test and while it's in its automatic mode it's going to be good for around 40 minutes so plainly said yes the detect Pro does have significantly better battery life than the vertex Pro but also one of the very important things that I do have to point out about the form factors of these vacuums is that yes the vertex Pro is larger and it is heavier than the detect Pro but also something that I've noticed about this vacuum is that due to the center of gravity being very forward and out I've noticed that after a while when you're trying to vacuum with the vertex Pro it does cause some risk discomfort because again that center of gravity is almost out here whereas with the smaller detect Pro yes the detect Pro is smaller and it is lighter but more importantly the center of gravity of this vacuum is more back here so when you are vacuuming with the T Pro I've noticed that it doesn't cost as much wrist pain because of the location of the the sensor of gravity being more back here instead of being all the way out here like with the vertex Pro but now we're also going to talk about the overall volume of these two vacuums now the detect Pro does have better suction than the vert X pro and surprisingly it is a little quieter as well however both of these vacuums are a little on the louder side especially if you were to compare them with other vacuums out there like with let's say Dyson's vacuums however right now we're just going to go ahead and do a quick test of the volume of these two vacuums so here comes the vortex Pro I'm going to power it on now this is Eco Mode on the vertex pro now this is Eco Mode on the detect Pro so like we have just heard the detect Pro is notably quieter than the vertex Pro while in eco mode now we're going to switch them over to their automatic modes so here comes the vertex Pro so that was the automatic or medium mode on the vertex Pro here comes the detect Pro so that was the detect mode while in its automatic or medium mode and now we're going to go into the boost mode on both of these vacuums so that was boost mode on the vertex Pro Here Comes boost mode on the detect Pro and that was boost mode on the detect Pro now like you have just heard the detect Pro is overall a little quieter than the vertex Pro especially when it comes to their boost modes and the detect Pro does have more suction than the vertex Pro however just keep in mind that with both of these vacuums they are alliteral on the louder side if you you were to compare them to the competition however one of the things that I do like about both of these vacuums is that with both of these vacuums once you power them on they stay on now this right now again this is the boost mode we're just going to switch it over back to Eco on the detect Pro just so that you can hear me but as you can see once this vacuum is turned on it stays on you don't have to constantly keep a trigger held down which personally for me I do a few is a big deal because with other cordless vacuums out there if you have to constantly hold the trigger down that can get a little uncomfortable but thankfully but thankfully with both of shark's vacuums once they're on they're turned on but also I do want to give you a better look of the screens on these two vacuums now with the detect Pro you have these four LED lights up here that tell you the status of your battery life whereas with the vertex Pro you have a much larger screen up top that gives gives you actual numbers now this number here is only going to tell you 60 70 80 or 90% it doesn't get all super granular like 65% or 63% or 58% none of that but now we're going to talk about the motorized heads that come included with both of these vacums now both of these motorized heads have the same width to them however the motorized head that comes included with the detect BR it is smaller and it is lighter and it also has buil-in sensors that works with the vacuum itself to help adjust itself depending on what needs to be cleaned now this motorized head is good for both hardwood floors and for carpets now this carpet head only has one roller in it but we do have very soft bristles here we do have stiffer bristles here and then we have these rubber fins here which are the ones that are going to help get really deep into those carpets whereas with the vertex Pro this carpet cleaner head here is a lot larger it is noticeably heavier however this cic cleaner head actually has two rollers in it now we do have our front one here and this one here has our much softer bristles whereas the secondary roller here has our stiffer bristles like these here but we also have these rubber fins here now when you are using the vertex Pro and if you have it set to its hardwood floor mode then both of these heads are going to spin equally as fast however if you were to have this vacuum set to carpet mode then this secondary head here is going to start spinning a lot faster so that it can get deeper into those carpets just keep in mind that if you do use this vacuum while in carpet mode then that is going to drain the battery life faster because you are sacrificing some of your battery life to spin this Mo this uh roller here but one of the things that I do like about this larger carpet cleaner head here is that we do have this rubber bumper on the front which personally I do like because it does help protect your furniture when you're vacuum ing whereas with the detect Pro unfortunately there is no rubber stopper on the front so if you are going to be vacuuming with this carpet cleaner head here you do want to make sure that you don't bang it into your furniture personally I just wish that there was like a strip of rubber here on the front but unfortunately it's not there but also another thing that I like about the vertex Pro that isn't found on the detect Pro is that the vertex Pro does come included with a bendable neck so this bendable neck is going to make it easier for you to get under your stuff like let's say uh your sofa or like let's say your bed however due to the carpet cleaner heads thickness you are going to have a harder time getting under uh lower appliances but also another thing with this collapsible neck is that you can actually bend it and this is your storage position whereas with the detect Pro this vacuum does not come included with a bendable neck however this vacuum is is overall lighter and just smaller than the vertex Pro and if you absolutely want to you can always get a bendable neck as a separate accessory however if you want to you can always store your vacuum like so because that is what this little Hook is for but finally we want to talk about the included non-motorized accessories that come included with both of these vacuums now with the vertex Pro you only get this crevice tool here and you can either attach it directly into the vacuum itself or you can always attach this crevice tool into the neck attachment whereas with the detect Pro you actually get two non-motorized attachments included with the detect Pro you also get your curse tool which again you can attach directly into the vacuum itself or you can attach it onto its long neck attachment and you also get this secondary non-motorized head here which does have bristles on the front and this is the one that you might want to use if you want to do any vacuuming like on let's say the stairs or inside of your car or if you have any um furniture or upholstery all right but with all that being said both the shark vertex Pro and the shark detect Pro are very versatile vacuums however with the detect Pro this vacuum is going to give you an overall better experience for multiple reasons now first off the Pro is noticeably smaller and lighter than the vertex Pro and it also has better section than the vertex Pro and it's also a little quieter than the vertex Pro as well and also if you were to get the automatic dock with the detect Pro then the automatic dock on this vacuum is going to number one keep your bin empty at all times and it's also going to keep this vacuum charged and ready for you so with the detect Pro anytime that you need your vacuum is going to be ready to go at any time and also with the detect Pro like I mentioned earlier since this vacuum it is smaller and it is lighter but also thanks to the overall design of this vacuum since it center of gravity is more back up back here then you aren going to get any wrist pain after you use this vacuum for a while and then there's also the overall batter life of this vacuum if you were to use this vacuum while in automatic mode then the battery life of this vacuum is going to good for around 40 minutes so overall you are going to get a better experience with the detect Pro than you would with the vertex Pro now the vertex Pro is also a very versatile vacuum and personally the thing that I really like about the vertex Pro is going to be the collapsible neck that comes included with it because it is going to make it easier for you to get under things like let's say your sofa or your mattress the only thing that you want to look out with the vertex Pro is that this vacuum is heavier also this vacuum is louder and the battery life of this vacuum isn't as good as with the battery life on the detect Pro but the really important thing that a lot of people will probably miss with the vertex Pro is that since due to the center of gravity of this vacuum being down here and forward I have noticed that after like let's say 15 or 20 minutes of vacuuming the center of gravity of this vacuum can lead to some wrist pain

Dyson V12 Slim Vs Shark Detect Pro - Which Is More Comfortable To Use?

so this is the shark detect Pro and this is the Dyson V12 slim and today we are going to compare these two vacuums and hopefully we're going to tell you which one is right for you now first off we are going to have to talk about the size of these two vacuums with the detect Pro this vacuum is notably smaller than the V12 and the handle itself is a little lighter weighing in at 2 L and 14 oz and yes we are rounding up here whereas the V12 slim weighs in at 3 lb and 8 oz but when fully assembled the detect Pro weighs in at a little over 6 lb whereas with the V12 sln this vacuum weighs in at 5.2 lb with the Fluffy optic tool and it will weigh in at 5.4 lb if you're using the dedicated carpet cleaner head so overall both of these vacuums are relatively small and they're both relatively lightweight and the good thing about both of these vacuums is that with both of these vac vacuums they both have a power on button so once these vacuums are turned on they stay on you don't have to constantly keep a trigger held down like you have to do with some of Dyson's other vacuums like let's say the v11 or the v15 but also even though the detect Pro is relatively small the good thing about the detect Pro is that the built-in bin in it is twice the size of the bin found in the V12 but also with the detect Pro if you want can get the automatic docking tool and what this automatic docking tool does it automatically cleans out the bin and it also keeps your vacuum fully charged so every single time that you go and you reach for your vacuum if you have the automatic docking tool you are going to get a vacuum that is completely cleaned out and the battery is fully charged whereas with the V12 you have to manually clean out the bin and you have to manually plug this vacuum into charge but then there's the overall performance of these two vacuums now overall when it comes to suction I have to say that both of these vacuums have the same suction to them however when it comes to the loudness I do feel that the detect Pro is a little quieter than the V12 but so that you can hear for yourself we're going to do a quick test so first Here Comes eco mode on both of these

vacuums so that's eco mode on the detect Pro Here Comes eco mode on the

V12 now here I do feel that the V12 is a little quieter than the detect Pro while in eco mode now here comes the medium or auto mode on the detect Pro

so that is the medium or auto mode on the detect Pro Here Comes medium mode on a

vv2 so that's dv12 while in Med mode and here comes their boost

modes so that's boost mode on the detect Pro Here Comes boost mode on

vv2 so like you may have just seen while in boost mode the V12 Slim is notably louder than the detect Pro while in boost mode however when it comes to the medium mode on both of these vacuums I do feel that the V12 is just a little quieter than the detect Pro and while in eco mode definitely the V12 is quieter than the detect Pro while both of these vacuums do have the same suction but when it comes to their boost modes the V12 is louder than the detect Pro but when it comes to the battery life on both of these vacuums both of these vacuums have an advertised battery life of 60 Minutes however that advertised better life of 60 Minutes on both of these vacuums is while they're running on eco mode but both of these vacuums have in auto mode and while both of these vacuums are set to Auto then they're both going to be good for around 40 minutes of use however the auto mode on both of these vacuums is very different now with the detect Pro you are going to have some intercat lights located on both the vacuum itself and on the carbet cleaner head so basically with the detect Pro once it detects dirt the the indicator light on top is going to turn red and that is telling you that the vacuum has detected a lot of dirt and so it's going to automatically spin up then the indicator light is going to switch over to Amber and that's basically telling you that hey we're currently cleaning this area please keep the carpet cleaner where it is and then the indicator light on the detect Pro is going to switch over to Blue and that's basically telling you that hey this area has now been cleaned and the vacuum will automatically lower its suction and personally I do like the indicator light system on the detect Pro because it is a lot simpler to understand and it is found on both the vacuum itself and on the carbet cleaner head now the V12 also has an automatic mode however the automatic mode on the V12 doesn't communicate what it's doing as well as the detect Pro but with the V12 you do have these graphs here on the back and basically if you see that the purple or the pink graph is spiking you should definitely keep your vacuum where it is but if you have the the yellow or orange graph up that is normal however one thing that the V12 does have over the detect Pro is that thanks to the LCD screen on the back you do get a better readout of how much battery you have left now right now this vacuum is set to Eco and as you can see we have a battery life of around 16 minutes um and 40 seconds but if we were to switch this over to Auto then the battery life is going to switch over to 9 minutes and if we to switch it over to boost then we're going to have a battery length of 2 minutes 38 seconds so overall both of these vacuums have an auto mode and both of these Auto modes are good however I do prefer how the auto mode on the zct pro communicates to you because it is a lot simpler to understand than the auto mode found on the V12 but also keep in mind both of these vacuums do have an advertised better life of 60 minutes but that's with both of these vacuums running on their EC modes however if you were to use these vacuums while in their auto mode modes they're going to be good for around 40 minutes and while in boost mode that is going to take a very big toll on the battery life it's only going to be good for a few minutes or so but then there are the included accessories that come included with both of these vacuums and plainly said the Dyson comes included with a lot more accessories than the shark detect Pro now with the detect Pro we have a single motorized caror cleaner head and this corpor cleaner head here has a single roller and with this roller we have a lot of soft bristles here with stiffer bristles here and these are the ones that are going to help get into your carpet but more importantly we do have these rubber fins here and this is what's going to help you get really deep into those carpets whereas with the V12 we do have a carpet cleaner head here and again this is motorized but with this here we have our softer bristles here and we have our stiffer bristles here now this corpet cleaner head is going to work well on both carpet and hardwood floors but I do feel that you are going to get a deeper clean with the shark detect Pro in your carpet due to those rubber fins however with the V12 the V12 also has this fluffy optic tool and this fluffy optic tool has much softer bristles on it so this is the tool that you want to use for your hardwood floors but more importantly The Fluffy optic tool also has a green built-in LED and what this green built-in LED does is that it helps you find a lot of dirt or dust on your hardwood floors so when you're cleaning you know that an area is clean due to the fluffy optic tool and personally I do feel that the built-in LEDs on this cleaning head here is a lot more useful than the cleaning head found on the detect Pro so if you have a lot of hardwood floors that you plan on cleaning up personally I would recommend that you go with the Dyson simply because this caror cleaner head here does have that green built-in LED which is a very simple tool but it is a very useful tool and finally the V12 also comes included with this smaller motorized head here and this smaller motorized head here is what you might want to use if you want to do any detail work in your car or if you want to clean your upholstery or if you have a Pet's bed or you can also use this tool for cleaning a carpeted staircase now both of these vacuums also come included with a crevice tool however the crevice tool that comes included with the V12 it is narrower and longer than the crevice tool that comes included with the detect Pro so that might be important if you plan on doing a lot of detail work and both of these vacuums also come included with a duster now the duster that comes included with ad detect Pro is wider than the duster that comes included with the V12 but with the V12 you can choose if you want to use the bristles on it or not because these bristles you can extend them and you can retract them so if you're trying to choose between the shark detect Pro and the Dyson V12 slim it is a bit of a hard decision now the good things that I like about the shark detect Pro is that when this vacuum is set to off auto mode it's auto mode does a much better job of communicating to you what exactly it's doing I also like that the bin in the detect Pro is larger than the Benin found in the um Dyson V12 slim and also if you have the automatic dock with the detect Pro the automatic dock is going to automatically clean out your bin and it is going to keep your vacuum fully charged so every time that you reach for your vacuum you are going to get an empty vacuum with a battery that's fully charged also I feel that with the detect Pro the carpet cleaner head that comes included with it I do feel that it is going to give you a deeper clean in your carpets thanks to the built-in rubber fins however with the Dyson V12 slim with this vacuum you are going to get a lot more accessories and more importantly if you plan on cleaning a lot of hardwood floors the built-in LED found on the fluffy optic tool is going to make it a lot easier for you to see any dirt or dust that you have on your Hardwood floors thus making it easier for you to clean up because this fluffy optic tool does a better job of showing you where the dirt is whereas with a the detect Pro not so much but also with the V12 slim this vacuum is noticeably quieter than the detect Pro while it's in eco mode and while it's in auto mode however this vacuum is louder than the detect Pro while it's in its boost mode however you should only use boost mode on both of these vacuums when you absolutely have to
