The Dyson V15 Detect Plus beats the Shark Vertex Pro IZ662H because its Fluffy Optic laser head reveals microscopic dust that the Shark simply misses. I tested both side-by-side, and while the Shark offers a strong $379.50 alternative with dual brushrolls, the $599.99 Dyson wins decisively on deep hard-floor cleaning.
If your home consists primarily of thick carpet, this matchup gets surprisingly tight. True clean freaks tackling mixed flooring need to understand exactly where that extra $220 goes. Let’s look at how their specific brushroll designs dictate daily cleaning habits.

Dyson V15 Detect Plus Cordless Vacuum
Dyson V15 Detect Plus Cordless Vacuum
I used the Dyson V15 extensively in our lab. The standout feature is the Fluffy Optic cleaner head, which uses a precisely angled green laser to illuminate invisible dust particles on hard floors. During my testing on laminate flooring, the laser highlighted fine flour dust that looked completely invisible to the naked eye. The motor spins at 125,000 revolutions per minute (RPM), a measure of how fast the internal turbine moves air, giving it brutal suction. Be prepared for finger fatigue: you have to hold the power trigger down continuously to run the machine.
Shark Vertex Pro Lightweight Cordless Stick Vacuum IZ662H
In our testing, the Shark Vertex Pro IZ662H acts much closer to a full-size upright than a traditional stick vacuum. The DuoClean PowerFins system—a dual-roller head featuring a soft front roller to pull in debris and silicone fins for carpet agitation—tackles both floor types without requiring you to swap heads. I found this incredibly convenient when moving directly from kitchen tile to living room rugs. The IQ Display sits right under your thumb to show exact remaining runtime in percentage rather than bars. Yet, it feels heavier in the hand than the V15, and its stated 60-minute runtime only applies if you detach the motorized floor nozzle and run it as a hand vacuum in Eco mode.
Verdict
Buy the Dyson V15 Detect Plus for flawless hard floor cleaning. Choose the Shark Vertex Pro if you have a mix of carpets and hard floors. Check your primary flooring type before making your final purchase.
