Verdict
The Shark Stratos is the more affordable choice and matches the V15 on battery life — if you primarily care about runtime per dollar, it wins. But on filtration, suction power, and the laser/piezo dust visualization features, the V15 Detect is in another league. For allergy sufferers, multi-pet homes, or anyone who wants to actually see what they're cleaning, the Dyson is worth the premium.
