Our two current favorite cordless vacuums are the Dyson V10 Absolute and the Shark Ion P50, We have thoroughly tested each one and compared them to a lot of other popular cordless vacuums out there and this video will go in depth to figure out which one is the best but more importantly which one will work best for your situation.

So links in the description for current prices and lets get started.

These two cordless vacuums are top of the line vacuums in other words the overall build quality for both of these machines far surpasses the run of the mill and cheaper cordless vacuums out there.

One of the ways you can tell a cordless vacuum is premium is its filtration system. Both of these vacuums have HEPA filters but more importantly they are both sealed systems with HEPA filtration meaning they can pass our five micron fog test with no visible fog, which is a very, very rare feat for a cordless vacuums.

Before we talk about performance results and get into all the suction and battery life tests, lets first touch on the main features that distinguish these two vacuums.

The Dyson V10 Absolute comes with 2 different cleaner heads the torque drive head which can clean both hard floors and carpets but is better with carpets and the Soft roller or Fluffy head which can only clean hard floors, but its really good with hard floors. We at Vacuum Wars have been extolling the virtues of soft rollers for hard floor cleaning for a long time, and it’s a good reason to spend the extra money on the Absolute version of the V10 since it’s the only version that includes the soft roller cleaner head.

The Shark Ion P50 uses only one cleaner head with Shark’s patented DuoClean technology. Basically it’s a soft roller and a regular brush roll combined into one cleaner head, so it transitions from carpet to hard floors seamlessly which will come into play later.

On hard floors the Dyson does amazing with its soft roller, picking up just about everything it touches from fine dust to larger debris. With the torque drive head its better than the average cordless vacuum on hard floors but only if you have the adjustable gates wide open on the front.

On hard floors the P50 is almost impossible to beat though, like the Dyson it picks up everything it touches from dust to extra large debris but its better in a couple ways, the first is that it can handle just about any amount of debris without clogging where the Dyson is limited by the somewhat small intake hole and can clog if its overloaded, and Im aware that very few people will encounter a situation where it would be overloaded like in our tests but it is what it is.

The Shark is also better at grabbing difficult to pick up debris, debris that the Dyson soft roller tends to spit out, don’t get me wrong they are both better than 99.9% of all other cordless vacuums for hard floors but in general If I am going to be cleaning hard floors Im going to grab the P50 over the V10.

would love to see a pine-needle pickup test. They're made to clog vacs… I almost bought a P50, but love that the V8 Abs charges in it's wall hanger, and for quick clean ups the Dyson is easier to whip around with the weight up near the handle.

I've got the Dyson V8 and the P50 and when I first got the P50, I was impressed with many things. However, the brushroll needs constant cleaning whereas the brushroll for the dyson rarely if ever gets tangled. Also, the filters get dirty very quickly on the P50 and there is a lot of fine dust in the round exhaust filter housing leading me to believe it isn't filtering as well as the Dyson. The Dyson filters rarely need cleaning and when they do, they aren't very dirty. Finally, I find the Dyson more maneuverable. Yes, P50 has liftaway, which does make it light, but you still have to schlep around the canister portion. The Dyson is very easy to lift up and put in many tight spots. I use both vacuums for cleaning pet hair off of pet and people beds. The Dyson picks it up better.

By no means is the P50 bad, but I'd have to say, ding, ding it scores several more points than the P50 in my house.

I will never buy the Dyson V10 or V8 due to the fact that they didn't make a removable battery with a second battery for us consumers. This is why I will purchase the Tineco A11 'Master or Hero' – as both have 2 removable batteries and is just as good as the Dyson all-around,(both tine hero and master have less suction, tho not enough to warrant, imo), but much much more affordable. Thank you Tineco! Do your homework people.

Dude… anyone ever tell you, you sound Sam Harris? 🙂 👍

Can you please test the dewalt cordless vacuums

Markus Strobl says:

Great video but please skip the doorbell dings for points. Very hard to watch when the dog won't stop barking.

OC Tech says:

I think the dyson wins the ease of use category in my opinion since you can dock it and let it charge. I don’t like that you have to take the battery out of the p50 to charge it, which is why i returned mine. Also the fact that the soft roller seems to push fine debris into the carpet and make it harder for the stiff bristles to get. I like being able to change the heads to clean different surfaces since the dyson heads are really good at what they’re meant for

Chris Johnson says:

I'll take 100% over 86% any day.

I own both of these exact models…and this review is dead on the money. I do all of my wood and tile floors and bath rugs with the P50 and do all of the bedroom carpets and main area rugs with my Shark NV752. The V10 only comes out for quick jobs on rugs that require max suction which is the only area the V10 is somewhat superior with on carpets/rugs with dog hair.

Who was first today?

Grey skies are gonna clear up, put on a happy face says:

Yeah ok, I'll admit I wish that I bought the Shark P50 instead of the V10. I still like the V10 though since it does a great job at cleaning and doesn't stink up the room and is easy to empty which are my main concerns with most vacuums. But yeah the Shark can do all that too and for less, so it wins.

Random question: the inside plastic on my V10's dustbin is all fogged up. I've tried wiping it down with isopropyl alcohol but its still fogged. Is there any way to restore it to that clear see through plastic like when new?

The Vac Mat says:

I usually really like your videos but I felt this one didn't really show what you buy a vacuum for to deep clean carpet

Cj Smart says:

Seems to me that Shark constantly has always beaten Dyson and I’ve been dreaming about owning a Dyson but after seeing this, NO WONDER why Shark has always been Nationally recognized ALL OVER THE WORLD and they have been the Most Recommended Vacuum Cleaners in America!!!

Vacuumtests says:

Great video! Shark is for me because it's not tiring for the hand. For some reason Sharks with the regular head deep cleans better than the DuoClean head models. EU energy label has shown it.

Daniel da Boss says:

thanks I don’t know 🤔 which one to chose I like the look of the v10 but the head of the p50

hurkamur1 says:

The dyson absolute is $250 dollars more expensive tho

Jess McMullen says:

I love my shark, it literally picks up anything! I take my shark to my shark to my parents house where they have two German shepherds and my shark picks up things their Dyson misses!
My only con on the shark is that if you live in a house with women, no matter how often I clean the brush roller, which isn’t easy….. it constantly has hair twined right up around the brush roll… i have to clean it almost every use.. that’s the only con. I thoroughly love my shark.

lindseyryan82 says:

I really want that shark for my birthday lol
