so this is the shark detect Pro and this is the Dyson v11 and today we're going to compare these two vacuums and we're going to tell you exactly what the difference between these two vacuums are and hopefully we can find the right one for you now obviously the first major difference between these two vacuums is that the Dyson V1 is noticeably larger than the detect Pro now the Dyson v11 itself weighs in at 4B and 9 oz and yes we are rounding up here whereas the detect Pro weighs in at24 Oz but when fully assembled the Dyson v11 weighs in at 6 and a half whereas the detect Pro weighs in at just a little over 6 lb and that is because the smart carpet cleaner head on this vacuum does weigh quite a bit so overall yes when fully assembled the detect Pro is notably more comfortable than the Dyson v11 because it is a little lighter but more importantly with the detect Pro when you turn this vacuum on it stays on you don't have to constantly keep a trigger held down whereas with the Dyson v11 since this vacuum does have a trigger that you have to constantly keep held down having to hold down this trigger can get a little tiring especially in the forearm after like let's say 20 minutes so overall the detect Pro is noticeably more comfortable than the v11 because the detect Pro is noticeably lighter but also the detect Pro does not have that trigger that you have to constantly keep held down however with the detect Pro there are some sacrifices that you have to make due to this vacuum's smaller size now first off there is the bin on this vacuum it is a little smaller than the bin found on vv11 however if you were to get the optional automatic automatic docking tool with the detect Pro then every single time that you attach the detect Pro to the automatic dock it is going to automatically empty itself and the the automatic dock also keeps your vacuum fully charged so anytime that you reach for this vacuum it is going to be ready to go because the bin is going to be empty and the battery is going to be full however from a performance standpoint with the Dyson v11 this vacuum does have more suction than the detect Pro however the Dyson v11 is notably louder than the detect Pro but so that you can hear for yourself we're going to do a quick test so here comes the detect Pro while it's in its eco mode so that is the that is Eco Mode on the detect Pro Here Comes eco mode on the v11 now here I do feel that the v11 is a little quieter than the tect pro and it also has more suction But Here Come the medium mode on both of these vacuums so that's medium mode on V detect Pro Here Comes medium on v11 now here I do feel that the v11 is a little louder than the detect Pro even though the detect does have a higher pitch hump to it and here comes a boost mode on both of these vacuums and here comes boost mode on vv1 here I do feel that the v11 is is notably louder than the detect Pro while in boost mode but again the v11 does have more suction than the detect Pro now 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 realistically with both of these vacuums if you use them while they're set to their medium modes or automatic mode on the detect Pro then both of these vacuums are going to be good for around 40 minutes of use just keep in mind that batter life on both of these vacuums are really varies depending on the setting that you have them in and it also varies on what attachments you're using however with the detect Pro the really interesting thing about this vacuum is that this vacuum will automatically adjust itself uh as to what what surfaces you're cleaning so with the detect Pro there are some LED lights on it both on the vacuum itself and on the carpet cleaner head that changed from Red Amber and to green and basically when the red light is on that is when this vacuum has detected dirt so obviously it is going to start sucking a lot more once the light changes to Amber then uh the suction of the vacuum does relax a little bit but it is telling you that hey you should keep the carpet cleaner here because we are currently cleaning this area and once the indicator light on this vacuum switches over to Blue that's basically telling you that this area has now been cleaned and send the vacuum DET tect that it's on an area that's already cleaned it is going to lower its suction so that is how this vacuum is able to optimize its overall battery life whereas with the Dyson v11 this vacuum does not automatically adjust its speed depending on what surface you're cleaning so with the Dyson v11 you are going to have to manually switch this vacuum from eco mode to medium and this is the mode that you're probably going to use most of the time and if you have a bigger mtic cream then you're going to have to manually switch it over to boost and once you're done with Boost you might want to switch it over to medium and if you want to extend your battery life then you want to switch this vacuum over to eco mode but now we have to talk about the included accessories that come included with these two vacuums now both of these vacuums come included with a motorized head and the motorized head on both of these vacuums have the same width to them and they also have the same height to them so both of these motorized heads are going to be able to get under the same furniture and with both of these motorized heads they both have a single roller however these rollers are very different now with the Dyson v11 you have this roller that has your set of soft bristles and these are the bristles that are going to do the better job here of cleaning up your hardwood floors and the Dyson v11 also has the stiffer bristles and these are the bristles that are going to get deeper into your carpet however the roller on the detect Pro is significantly more impressive because with the roller on the detect Pro this roller has a lot more soft bristles here so this is what's going to clean your hardwood floors but also we do have your stiffer bristles here and these are the ones that are going to get into your carpet but what is unique here is that with the detect Pro we also have these rubber fins which again is going to help this carpet cleaner head get deeper into those carpets and this carpet cleaner head is also filled with the sensors that your vacuum uses to decide when it should speed up or when it should speed down so overall I do feel that the carp cleaner head on the detect Pro does give you a deeper clean than the corpor cleaner had found on the Dyson v11 specifically because of those rubber fins which just aren't found on the Dyson v11 however with the Dyson v11 you also get this additional motorized tool here and this is the carpet cleaner head that you might want to use on your stairs your upholstery or if you have a Pet's bed but also both of the these vacuums come included with a Cris tool but the Cris tool that comes included with the Dyson is narrower and longer than the crevice tool that comes included with a d detect Pro so this might be important for you if you plan on doing detail work in your car and both of these vacuums also come included with a dusting tool however with the dusting tool on the v11 you can choose to either have the Brussel exposed or you can choose to put them away so with all that being said if you're trying to choose between the Shar detect Pro and the Dyson v11 both of these vacuums are very capable however the better buy here I do feel is going to be the detect Pro with the detect Pro this vacuum is notably smaller and lighter than the Dyson v11 making it more comfortable to use and also there is no trigger that you have to constantly keep held down but more importantly with the detect Pro you are going to get a deeper clean that you do with the the v11 specifically because it's corpor cleaner head has those built-in rubber fins which is going to help get deeper into your carpets but also the smart carpet cleaner head on the detect Pro is going to help automatically adjust this vacuum's suction speed that's giving you a better clean but more importantly it is going to help extend the battery life of this vacuum and also if you do decide to get the automatic Dock of the detect Pro with this automatic dock it is going to keep your vacuum's bin clean and it is going to keep your vacuum fully charged so your vacuum is always ready to go whenever you need it however with the Dyson v11 you do get an additional motorized tool but also with the v11 you are going to get better suction than you do with the detu pro however with the v11 this vacuum is going to be a little louder than the detect Pro and it is going to be a little heavier and again you do have that trigger that you have to constantly keep held down which can get a little uncomfortable especially in the forarm after like let's say 20 minutes
