> 3 dayI tried the dyson v15 detect before this product and I loved it. It is not a Dyson for sure but these days I couldn’t rationalize paying for the $800 vacuum so I sent it back and started looking for one that was the closest to this dyson. This one is it. Although it is much more bulky and doesn’t vacuum under the fridge, stove etc it seems the suction is pretty similar and has other features that for me are better like folding to store and extension for under beds. I did not want to use the storage for the dyson since it involved placing screws in my wall, new home equals a hell na for me. Emptying the canister is similar as well, both do not hold large amounts but that doesn’t bother me to empty a canister. Overall, with half the price of the Dyson and other features I mentioned this is definitely the better buy.

> 3 dayI have always been sceptical of cordless vacuums. But this one has great suction power and good battery life. Now everyone, even my 5 year old cleans up easy. Good buy. I wish it had more attachments, but I make do with what it came with.

> 3 dayWe already have the Shark Rocket Duoclean corded vacuum, great vacuum overall. But we got a new puppy that sheds a lot, so I wanted to ditch the cord first and foremost. And also heard the tangle free brush is really a thing, so wanted that. Since Im the chief home vacuumer here lol, its on me to report that in both those regards, Im pretty happy. That brush really does not tangle, its amazing. Even though the Rocket made it easy to access the brush to clean off the tangled hair and stuff, not having to do it at all is real game changer! As for the battery part, Ill say the claim that it holds a full hour charge is a bit misleading. Perhaps if you only vacuum at the bare floor setting and be sure to turn it off at every opportunity, you could squeeze an hour out of it. But charge length is adequate for me, I could hit the main floor, all the rugs, the stairs, basement...and run out of juice right at the very end there. But also, full disclosure, I vacuum everything at the carpet setting, I think it does a better job cleaning bare floors that way. The other feature that is awesome on this vacuum is the folding arm, wow that thing is handy! I got no problem bending over to vacuum under the bed, etc...but not having to is great. Another benefit is that its way more maneuverable with it, for instance you could get into tight corners off to the side which you cant do with a normal stick vacuum. I find myself using this folding arm feature a lot. However, there are a couple features which the Shark Rocket had, which I find I miss on this Vertex. My main complaint in that regard is that theres no foot button to disconnect the stick from the brush head, you got to bend down and do it by hand. I frequently pop the brush off to get dust bunnies in corners where the brush wont fit, or reach a spider web up in a ceiling corner or something like that. With the Rocket it was so easy to pop the stick out, do the deed, pop it back in and keep vacuuming. But with the Vertex its a pain because it also doesnt smoothly release, so you have to reach down, push the button, wiggle the stick loose, it just kinda sux when doing it frequently. Along those lines, my other complaint is that the only light is on the brush head. On the Shark, the vacuum head itself had a light as well, so when you used the stick w/o the brush head to chase dust bunnies in dark corners, you could see what youre doing. With the Vertex, youre running blind in that regard. So those two things have me dropping a star off this review. But, personally I say those are worthy compromises, and the benefits of the Vertex over the corded Rocket far outweigh the cons. I have to say though, I have a final complaint about the seller. Although the seller is listed as The Shark Store on the listing, at checkout it becomes some reseller (which I didnt notice at the time). In my case, it was Martinos Market. The box arrived looking like it was resealed, and the dust brush attachment was not included (nor is it listed on the box as an included item). Contacting Martinos Market got me no response from them, and Amazons answer is ship it back for a refund or exchange (for exactly the same vacuum w/o a dust brush attachment). Ive used the vacuum already so Ill just keep it as is, but its a bit bogus to advertise included attachments which are not included, and slipping in a reseller is weird as well. So star off for that as well.

28-03-2025The, Shark Vertex Ultra Lightweight Cordless Stick Vacuum is not a replacement for my Shark Vertex with the cord. The Vertex with the cord will do a much better job than the cordless. For me, its more about getting the stairs as well as hard to reach places. Above my head and underneath the bed. Overall, I happy with this purchase. Have a nice day.

> 3 dayI had a Dyson V6 for a few years and absolutely loved it. I purchased one of those off brands form Amazon for approx $200. It worked well enough but crapped out after just more than a year. I found this one on sale on Amazon and it was almost $300. To be honest, the random vacuum performed just as good (maybe a little better). Lets just hope it lasts longer. Having said all of that it very adequate but dont expect a Dyson. Even the V6 out performed this, but I just couldnt see myself paying nearly $500 for a Dyson. The suction is good but only if you hold the extra power trigger which runs the battery down pretty fast. I have a couple Labs and it gets up the dog hair. Nearly every time I vacuum it fills up, and i vacuum almost everyday. I use it on our rugs and mostly hard floors. Id give it 3 and half stars if I could... but dont mind giving the extra half star because of the accessories.

> 3 dayIt’s not a Dyson and I bought it due to the reviews and I know it’s not a Dyson. Compared to our Dysons which are light and have powerful suction and the Dyson batteries keep dying and needing replacement, the Shark is bulky and not as powerful. Then again it’s not a Dyson.

> 3 dayFirst cordless vacuum Ive owned and I love it. So nice to travel from room to room without any hassle It is powerful and the battery lasts longer than what I expected it to. My previous vacuum was a Shark Rocket, so I am already used to having to lean the vacuum against something to have it stand upright when not in use.

> 3 dayWe have a three level house, and previously had two plug-in uprights stored in our carpeted basement and carpeted upper level respectively, and had to haul one of them either up or down to clean the main level, which is all hardwoods except for a carpeted main level guest suite (which I use as my office) and a few area rugs. We adopted a rescue pup who stays on the main level, so we needed something more convenient that could handle her hair and tracked dirt along with food debris in the kitchen across the hardwoods, area rugs and the one carpeted room, while preferably lasting long enough to cover the entire ~1850sqft main level in one go. After a lot of research, I chose the Vertex Duo. When I first received the vacuum I tested it out through the entire main level. Not only did the vacuum last the entire level, but it still had a solid power bar remaining. I didnt realize how dusty our hardwoods were!!! Halfway through vacuuming, I noticed in the foyer that what I had vacuumed was glossy, while the floor ahead of me was almost matte!! The light on the front of the vacuum is excellent as well for showing dust and debris which are otherwise difficult to see! Ive been using the Duo regularly for a few months now and it has been a blessing (and is actually fun to use). I keep it on hardwood setting with regular suction over our hardwoods and smaller rugs / runners, only occasionally having to pull the turbo trigger, and it does a wonderful job. I use it on the carpet setting across larger 6x8 and 7x10 area rugs and in my office, and have never had to use the turbo function for it to get everything! Every once in a while I have to go over a string the dog pulled off her tug toy or similar a couple times, but the vacuum always gets it and never tangles. It leaves a clean floor with nice vacuum lines in my office as well. I can often track where my 8yo son has been by following the crumb trail - the Duo excels at making those trails disappear as well! Im 62, so I love being able to unlock and flex the vacuum to get under couches, tables, desks and such without bending over / messing up my back! Ive also used all the tips as well! The anti-allergen tip is awesome for our TV, tables, blinds, fans, etc... It swivels so you can get both above and below fan blades! The brush is great for furniture, air registers / returns, etc... The brush unclips to expose the pet muli-tool which I have only used a couple times since our dog isnt allowed on furniture, but it did well pulling various fibers off, so Id assume it would do well with pet hair as well. The handheld portion is light weight, and the edging tool does great on baseboards, corners, cars, etc... I couldnt be happier with this vacuum - it does everything I hoped it would and more, and offers a huge bang for the buck! Im not joking when I said its actually fun to use - I find myself vacuuming more now than ever (and not just because we have a dog)...

> 3 dayI’ve had this thing for a year to clean my two-story house. It has amazing suction, very versatile with its accessories, and a reliable battery life. Do not regret getting it as it has made my life much cleaner. I have four dogs who shed and it picks up pet hair like a dream. Highly recommend it!

Greater than one weekThis is my first cordless and so far it’s great! Takes some patience learning how to set up and clean. A little more expensive than I expected but I’ve been waiting for the chance to get a hair free roller and a longer run battery and this beauty delivers.
