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

I did a ton of research before replacing my dyson stick vacuum which I started having battery issues with. I was drawn to this vacuum because of the rave reviews of the suction power (everyone is right about that) and the removable and easily replaceable batteries. The batteries last a long time and I have two so I don’t have to worry about running out of charge before I finish vacuuming everything. I use this as my sole vacuum for my 1400 sq/ft house and it’s perfect. We have mostly LVP with some area rugs and tile. I didn’t expect to like the attachments so much. The one for dusting is my favorite. I never knew I needed it or wanted it. The only thing I don’t like is how the wand bends, I don’t really use the feature, but the problem I have is that it makes the stick part feel less sturdy. I’d prefer just a regular stick without the bend in the middle.

We have a Dyson wireless vacuum that I absolutely love. It’s maybe the second or third iteration of the portable vacuum so it’s an older model. When we bought it Dyson was the only company that made this style vacuum so I decided to splurge and buy it! I decided to give Shark a try now that this style is mainstream because this got good reviews and is a lot cheaper. Dyson has much better suction and just does a better job at picking everything up in one pass. However, the Shark is much more consistent. Our Dyson attachment would always clog or break and stop running in mins of use and there was always some work that would need to be done to get it back up and running. I don’t have this issue with the Shark vacuum. There’s also some handy features - I like that the main tube bends to get under couches. I also like the lights on the main attachment. The overall runtime is better than my older Dyson but maybe new iterations are better at this. I only got about 20-30 mins and now I get about an hour. I will update if anything major changes my opinion but overall, a nice vacuum. Not as powerful as Dyson but there are other factors that make this a worthwhile choice.

I own 2 Dyson (which I love as well) however they are heavier and not as easy for me to get out to vacuum. I have some medical restraints and this vacuum is perfect for me. I keep it plugged into the charger, out of the way in my laundry room folded over and hardly noticeable and its so easy to just unplug from the charger and run it over small areas or all over. My home is about 1250 Sq FT and it will keep a charge through the whole house. The only reason I didnt give this a 5 star is because the vacuum doesnt stand up on its on if it is in the upright position, however its easy to just fold it over when stopping for any reason. I would recommend.

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!

I was a little skeptical about getting a cordless vacuum. My husband was the one that persuaded me to but it because we live in an older house with minimal outlets....so we are always unplugging something to plug in the vacuum. I am so glad he suggested this!!!! We did the research first...dyson vs shark. Was the price difference really worth the $$? I decided to get this shark for a few reasons. 1. removable battery- you can plug it in anywhere and store the vacuum out of sight. 2. attachments that came with it- we have a cat and dog....we clean often and the attachments that came with this make it easy to clean those hard to get (and forgotten) places like ceiling fans, behind doors, and under furniture. 3. it folds down for easier storage- our shark upright plug in vacuum is sometimes difficult to get out of the hall closet with all the coats hanging because the handle gets caught by a sleeve or something. This vacuum handle folds down to store easily under all those hanging coats. 4. lightweight to take up and down the stairs and light enough our 6yr old can use it and maneuver it easily 3. price point was in a reasonable range. The ONLY negative I have found is that the dirt compartment is kind of small......it holds about as much dirt as our Roomba. We have to empty it a lot more often than we do the corded vacuum. Its not that big of a deal but still somewhat annoying.

I wanted to love this. I thought this would be the cleaner I would have for the rest of my life! Im elderly now, and its just to heavy to get the high parts of my shiplap rooms. I love the cordless feature, BUT to get a really dusty area, I need to use the “turbo” charge trigger. This causes the batery to lose power very quickly. The turbo trigger took every bit of dust off of my window blinds! Worked GREAT! I had to recharge twice to accomplish cleaning my living room. I called customer service, who answered quickly, and was friendly. I was told that a full charge (which takes over 3 hours), will be used up with your finger on the “TURBO” trigger in approximately 11 minutes! This needs to be addressed! Another plus is its very easy to get under furniture without getting on your hands and knees! Shark, you have made a very good attempt at a creating a great cordless vacumn. It really only fails a five star review, because Im elderly now, and find it too heavy to use it with the wand to reach high places, AND the battery needs more strength! I would grade it with a B. If you are young and strong, and want it for quick jobs this might be very good for you. Im going back to a corded model with no batteries. I tried to like this.

I was worried this wouldnt have as much suction as my old Kenmore canister. Was I surprised to find it had more! It handles everything I throw at it. We moved to a home with hardwood floors and the old canister wasnt a good fit, the bristles would have scratched the floor. The floor setting is a soft roller that gently propels the dirt into the dust collection chamber. It has a microburst trigger on the handle that you can pull to get an extra power burst to suck up hard to reach places. It is a bit top heavy, so i can see where someone with mobility issues might struggle but i dont mind as that is why the motor is so powerful. Also the swivel range of the vacuum head is great! I am very pleased with this purchase.

Better than expected. Converting to hand held was very easy. Lighter than i thought it would be. The power surge was great. When using the entire system, it was so maneuverable, the swivel head was amazing, going around things, I never knew this would make vacuuming so much easier.. And the way it can bend and extend and get under tables. Really nice. My main reason for buying this model was because of my hair. I have long hair that would tangle my old Shark cordless to the point I just got disgusted. Every time i vacuumed I would have to cut away my hair from the rollers at least a few times. I gave up. I did this for 5 years. Never again. This machine worked great, for me anyway. Once i did have a slight tangle, One small snip, gone. Nothin is perfect. All during my vacuuming I kept turning the base over to look to see if it was still rolling and it was! I was amazed! I thought, oh it must be tangled and clogged, it cant be working. But it was. This is a great review from someone who has hair past the middle of their back. The dog hair in my house just fills up the container quickly, it is my hair that caused the problems. I love the way it folds in half to store. Very easy to clean . A little overwheling at first with all the buttons to press to detach and open things, just leave the stcky notes on for a while. Overall, a good purchase.

I used this vacuum about 20 times and then went to get it out from the cabinet that I store it in and it wouldnt unfold. now the selling point for me with this vacuum is that it stores in a small under sink cabinet. the other selling point would be for the vacuum to vacuum. but with the vertex stick not unfolding, the vacuum is useless. I couldnt find the part on their website to order so I called and they wanted too much for it so I just scrapped it. When it worked, it was amazing but, as with most shark products ive purchased, if a small part of it goes bad, its better to just find a replacement than to try to repair it. Going back to my Kirby

I have had a previous model for 4 years, and it was time to replace it. The first one was really great. It worked on both hard surfaces, and upto medium pile parpet. The new model arrived a few days ago, and was easy to assemble. The batteries charged up fine. The new model works well on hard floors, but when it comes to carpet, thats a different story. It works fine on very low pile, but the new design uses a smaller diameter wheel making it very difficult to move on medium pile parpet. I cant imagine using it on deep pile. The unit controls are also rather slow to respond to operation changes. Too bad the manufacturer didnt think this all the way through.
