Shark IZ462H Vertex Ultra Lightweight Cordless Stick Vacuum with DuoClean PowerFins, Crevice, Pet Multi-Tool, Anti-Allergen, Brush, Removable Handheld, Flex, 60 min Runtime, Blue, MultiFLEX

The only negative is the battery quit before I could get through my whole house, so I am ordering a second battery to keep charged in reserve. In terms of suction power and maneuverability, this machine beats my Dyson stick vac times ten! It picks up bird seed under the Canary cage (and all the larger bits that the Dyson would spit out) with great ease. I vacuumed under the beds and furniture with ease - theres a lot of dust hiding under there. It picks up a TON of dust that other machines have left behind. Im glad I ordered this.

My husband does the vacuuming in our condo and he NOW is very pleased with this one. He gave it a 3star because about a month after the purchase one back wheel started with a clicking sound. This did not affect the performance of the vacuum but the noise was annoying. On close examination we could see that a screw was sticking out and hitting the plastic inside frame of the wheel. This also caused the wheel to occasionally drag on the floor. He called Shark support and they would not replace the part but did offer to replace the bottom portion of the vacuum at our cost of $40. Feeling we had already paid a lot for this vacuum we did not want to pay more. So we chiseled out the plastic portion of the wheel that was hitting the screw. The wheel now turns silently! We hope this solves our issue. We truly are disappointed that Shark did not back the poor workmanship of the wheel. Thus the 3 star review... As far as the Shark itself- it is a wonderful sweeper. Being cordless makes it so much easier to move it around our condo. It does an excellent job of picking up dust/debris and the handle folds down so that sweeping under furniture is easy. If the problem with the wheel returns or begins with the other wheel we will get back and add to this review.

I bought this bad boy a couple of months ago, and have been waiting to write the review until Ive used it a while. Over the years Ive used a lot of vaccums. Ive always had large dogs, hate dog hair, and vacuum a few times a week - so always in pursuit of the best vacuum thats easy to use. Well, Ive found it! Shark is my fave brand anyway - I own 2 of the large numbers for deep cleaning (1 upstairs, 1 downstairs). And Ive had one of the early cordless models for easy pick ups & dog hair. NOW, I only need 1 - my new cordless Shark. It folds down and stores more easily than any other Ive owned. It is lightweight, and the swivel head w/light is highly maneuverable in and around furniture legs, and even under furniture. It picks up anything in its path and moves easily between hardwood, tile and carpet. The battery pack is easy to set on a shelf, keep plugged in, and reattach when needed. I like this much better than the large cradle style that sat on the floor for recharging. I see some folks have mentioned noisiness - well, its less noisy than any vac Ive ever owned but you do know the vac is running (not much diff than a heavy duty hair dryer). My main living area is about 1600 SF. I can deep clean all the floors (carpet, hardwood, tile) quite well with a single battery charge, and I vacuum several x each week due to the above mentioned dogs. The whole house is 2500 SF and I can hit all the main areas on a single charge. The settings are easy to shift, and I like the booster setting for extra suction when needed. It performs very well on carpet. And attachments go on and off easily for getting into the crevices. Ive not even bothered to used my big Sharks since I purchased this cordless. The top detaches easily for a hand held vac, which Ive used in my car and it works quite well.I got the upgraded model (the blue/gray one) because I wanted more attachments. Not sure it was worth it, but it was only a few dollars more, so, meh. I know a lot of ppl like their Dysons and other upper priced brands. But I cant imagine they perform any better, and the Shark is reasonably priced. A truly great product - thanks, Shark!!

Pro: Battery life is long enough to vac 14ft X 70ft (980 square feet) moble home. It takes up little space to store in a closet. I vacuum every few weeks and owed vac for 6 months. The inner filter looks brand new! The prep filters absorbs just about everything. I keep my dog trimmed. The vac picks up all trimmed hair. (Sorry I cant evaluate long matted pet hair due to shedding in carpets and sofas.) The power burst feature is a smart idea. It will pick small debris that regular setting missses. You pull a trigger to increase and decrease suction as needed. Battery can be detached and charged separately from unit. You can purchase extra batteries and have them changed in advance of use. It comes with the normal frequently used attachments. You can purchase other attachments separately from shark. Lights do help in darker spaces. The canister is larger than most stick vacs, but I do have to empty during a single use. I didnt buy this as a supplemental vac to an upright. I bought this instead of an upright. Con: The hardwood floor feature is useless. It doesnt pick up hardly anything. Use the carpet setting on hardwood and you will be fine. Paying $50 more to get 10 mins of extra run time is stupid. Buy and extra battery for $63. The attachments and stick are D shapped. If you want more attachments, you are basically forced to buy from shark due to shape. There is less suction than a normal upright, but to be fair it is good enough.

I have a powered Shark and I love it. This cordless model is ok. I don’t get the hype with these cordless vacuums… It does pick up ok on the Med speed but I find it misses some stuff that my powered Shark would not. I find I have to use the high power to get it to pick it up (and that drains the battery VERY fast). I don’t like the feel off the vacuum. It doesn’t run smoothly (I suspect it’s the fins underneath causing this). I have to make sure to vacuum in certain directions to get the vacuum to work best. Also after vacuuming my carpet, it just doesn’t look vacuumed. I am used to seeing vacuum lines in my carpet and there is none. Those lines imo meant the suction was good. I NEVER see vacuum lines after using this cordless vacuum. It does pick up stuff because I do have to empty the bin- but I just don’t think these cordless vacuums do as good a job as a plug in vacuum. It’s a shame as I like the portability, the lightness and compactness of the vacuum. I think it would work better on tile/wood floors. Now let’s talk about the battery charge… a HUGE selling point for me was the addition of a second battery and the ability to remove it to charge. I would NEVER recommend anyone not having a second battery when purchasing ANY cordless vacuum. The battery runs out pretty quick esp if you use the highest power setting. That setting really should only be used once in a while as it drains the battery VERY quickly. I use the med setting only (low setting is a waste of time imo) and occasionally the high. I use a battery and a 1/2 for about 1200 Sq foot. If I only had 1 battery I would have to wait 2-3 hours for it to recharge to finish my home. The things I like about this vacuum was the attachments, extra battery, method of charging and how compact it is. I also like that I can vacuum under my couch because of how compact it is. This vacuum can also be used as a hand held- because of the attachments it can be used to vacuum ur car (if you live where there is no power outlet access, like and apartment, this will be great). The thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t stand up on its own when the battery is on which can be annoying. I kept the vacuum but will still hang on to my powered vacuum. I was really hoping to replace my larger plug in vacuum with this. Just one more thing to take up space….

This vacuum replaced a 5 year old, heavier and unmaneuverabe Hoover Linx. The Linx was not powerful and the small filter sponge required nearly daily rinsing. This Shark is light years better and everything they advertise and more. The light on the front is indespensible, the vacuum will move in any direction quickly and easily and it will vacuum more dirt off your floors than you ever knew you had! It is lightweight for its power and is easy to change attachments and disassembling it for rinsing out the unit every now and again is easy. Removing the battery and putting it back on it a breeze. I got the vacuum that was sold with an extra battery so I dont have to wait for recharging. We have hardwoods, rugs and tile and it will go over all these without loosing power or stopping. Thanks Shark.

Had this over a yr holds a good charge and no issues. Not as powerful as electric for carpet but gets the job done. Love the easy cordless feastire

I like how light it is and how it Maneuvers. Since I have animals I like to use the high suction which makes the battery go dead very quickly. One of the batteries we have will only charge to 80%. I have hardwood floors kitchen living room and hallway, area rug in living room. Usually I can Vacuum my kitchen living room and hallway with one charge, but I can’t use it on the highest suction setting.

Pleasantly surprised at how much this picks up and how much better my hardwood floors look! Does well on carpet that is not sculpted. Has plenty of suction power!

This is such a well-designed product! The under-furniture feature is clutch. The lights help you spot floor dust or cobwebs day or night. The suction gets everything. Its lightweight and easy to transport up or down stairs. It holds a charge for your whole house and charges quickly. The canister is easy to empty. The attachments are easy to use. This thing is perfection!!
