Choosing the right stick vacuum can be tricky when they all promise so much and the designers of the Shark Rocket Hv322 and Dyson V6 have gone to great lengths to ensure that both models are appealing to buyers. In order to compare Shark Hv322 Vs Dyson V6 and get an idea of the pros and cons each model offers, lets take a look through the different features and key selling points that they either share or that set them apart.
Shark vs Dyson Stick Vacuums
Suction, cleaning performance, maneuverability and hygiene are all important aspects with these stick vacuums.
The best place to start this comparison is with the suction that is seen.“Never loses suction” used to be the phrase that we consumers automatically linked to Dyson but this tag line is now being used for the Shark Rocket Hv322 as they try to compete. This Shark Rocket model boasts “advanced cyclonic technology” for greater suction and management of fine particles to place it at the top end of the brand’s scale; however, Dyson too have made improvements and the new V6 spins at 110,00 times a minute to deal with 0.3 micron small via its 15 cyclones.
Improvements in suction from both the Shark Hv322 and the Dyson V6 therefore give users great hope about improvements in cleaning power. The Shark has a number of interesting features to make the cleaning process more convenient such as the two different settings on the brush roll to switch between hard floors and carpets and the ability to detach the vacuum from the pole to turn it into a handy little handheld. The V6 does not have this level of versatility, in fact some see it as a rather stripped down budget machine, but it does have efficiency in its performance and it is interesting that Shark should say that the Hv322 “deep cleans carpets better than a Dyson upright DC40” – the V6 vacuum series being an updated DC59.
Cleaning convenience also comes in the form of a vacuum’s maneuverability and this is where these Dyson and Shark stick vacuums take a different approach. The V6 is a cordless model that claims to be easy to handle due to its portable nature and balanced shape; the Hv322, on the other hand, is a corded model (in order to retain that high suction) and relies on its “ultra-light” 8lb weight and compact shape. Additional bonuses here with the Shark are that it has advanced steering, a rubberized grip and LED lights on the floor nozzle and hand vacuum.
Despite this compact, ultra-light body, the Shark vacuum does have double the dust cap capacity of previous Rockets – capacity being an issue with the modern Dysons – and they promise that its removable nature “makes emptying even easier”. In addition to this, they provide washable filters with no need for replacements. High quality filters are a must these days and Dyson’s V6 also acknowledges this with its first use of Hepa filtration in a cordless model. Furthermore, it has also ensured a simple, hygienic form of waste removal.
The V6 Dyson Stick Vacuum has pros and cons against the Shark model but there is one other aspect to consider.
Dyson V6 or Shark Rocket HV322, Which is better?
As it stands, when weighing up the pros and cons,Shark Rocket vs Dyson V6, there are clear aspects in favor of both. Dyson will always stand out with their suction and cleaning power because of the ongoing improvements that are made, like the V6 motor, and it is clear that Shark are trying to compete with great success, but the high power and ability of this cordless V6 against the corded Shark speak volumes. On the other side of the coin you have the versatility of the Shark stick vacuum against its rival. This new Rocket has a lot of little tricks and details to improve the multi-functionality of the vacuum and its convenience that are not seen in the standard Dyson V6.
Side by side there are definite arguments for both, with the Shark standing out for those that want to do more with one single machine, but it is important to remember that the Dyson V6 is the starting point in a larger range of machines. The V6 has the high suction and basic function, the V6 Animal adds the pet tools, the V6 Motorhead has the extra power for multi-surface cleaning and the V6 Absolute throws in extra tools and brushes for a comprehensive clean. With this in mind, perhaps the Dyson V6 as a range does overshadow the Shark Hv322.
