The Dyson Gen5detect and Shark PowerDetect Cordless both sit at the top of their respective brands' ranges. They're amongst the best vacuum cleaners on the market right now, so which one should you buy? I tested both, side-by-side, and here's what I found...
The Dyson Gen5detect launched in 2022, although we didn't get it in the US and UK until 2023. It's the best Dyson vacuum in terms of specs and features, with a more powerful motor than its predecessor, the ability to detect the size and volume of particles it's sucking up, adjust power in response, and report it all back in real time on its LCD screen. You can get the full low-down in our Dyson Gen5detect review.
