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

Update: Less than 1 year later :( I’ve had my vacuum for less than a year. Safe to say I wish I had a magic time-turner like Hermione had in order to go back and save myself the $400 I spent. I’ll update the pictures with what I now find myself dealing with - the sweet feature of the arm that bends so you can reach under beds and furniture? I don’t know if it’s faulty or just cheap - but it’s broken on not one, but both sides now. The battery power is still fine. Especially since I have to stop and clean out the head of it with a chopstick because everything gets clogged in it. I can’t vacuum up a cheese-it cracker without the thing getting clogged. The only way I can vacuum is if I sweep manically beforehand and use one of those pet-hair things on my carpets by hand. I guess it just wasn’t meant to stand the test of time. Or a house with pets, or kids, or people with hair. Maybe my household isn’t meant for a cordless stick vacuum - maybe it’s me, not you, Shark. But safe to say, it was a massive waste of money and I’m now back to buying a $100 corded vacuum cleaner and hoping there’s a replacement part for the arm of this thing so maybe I can still use it to tackle the downstairs hardwoods after I sweep? I’d save your money, shoppers. Old Review: Have you ever heard that anecdotal story about the man who couldn’t afford to buy the most expensive, longer-lasting boots so he had to repeatedly buy the cheaper boots? I come from a family where that is exactly what was done. We buy the $100 vacuum cleaner, have to replace it every year, and after 3-4 years of this, we could have bought a decent vacuum. So, I have to preface this with I am coming from owning a Dyson v8 that was a hand-me-down from my ex future mother-in-law. It was on its last leg when she so graciously gifted it to me, even moreso 5 years later. It finally died and rather than spend the $300-$400 on replacement parts and repair, I decided to treat myself. I just bought a house, I deserve a brand new vacuum to go with it. I have a 6 year old son, a 5 year old Saint Bernard, and 2 ambiguously aged felines. I needed suction, I needed power, but I also hate cords and different heads swapped out for different floor types. That’s what annoyed me with the Dyson the most. Not to mention the battery died after 10 minutes. So I stumbled upon this Shark with the display and I got the two batteries because I have a 2-story home built in 1907 with narrow, L-shaped stairs and full carpet upstairs with full, original hardwoods downstairs. Let me tell you: 1400 sq ft livable space with 50/50 carpets & hardwood, even on the full power, doesn’t run through a whole 60 minute battery. But I’m glad I got the two so I suggest you do the same. As far as suction: wow. The carpets upstairs .. I vacuum them weekly and I vacuum the hardwoods downstairs daily. After vacuuming with this vacuum, it was as if I had never vacuumed anywhere in this house since I bought it 3 months ago. It sucks up every fine, coarse, short, long, human, or animal hair that exists and NO not one wraps around the dual fin things that they advertise. On high power, I can vacuum the entire upstairs and still have battery left. Chef’s kiss. 10/10 on power/suction/fins or whatever. As far as the electric shock - I took a photo of the change they must’ve made to this new model - a little metal piece on the handle to ground you. I’ve been using this vacuum for a month on high power, medium pile carpet, and not once felt a shock. My 6 year old vacuums regularly and even with his tiny hands, can maneuver it and not be shocked. 10/10 no shock, except at what comes out of the dust bin. Overall, from a single mom with a hairy house, I’m grateful I took the leap and spent the $400 on this vacuum. It was well worth it. I have a feeling it will be durable and long-lasting as well, but I can always come back in 10 years as long as I and my vacuum survive any pending nuclear war or zombie apocalypse (which I have no doubt we will as I intend on using my vacuum as a weapon in that instance). Oh and I also used the different attachments to clean my car and the thing sucked up at least a large sized McDonald’s French fry which has been petrified and fossilized on they floor of my Nissan, thanks again to my 6 year old. Highly recommend.

I love this vacuum! My Dyson died and I replaced it with this vacuum. I’m happy to report it’s much, much better than the Dyson. I don’t think the suction is quite as powerful, but the unique roller design well makes up for it. I will say it’s much heavier, but it doesn’t bother me. The self-standing base is awesome (anyone else had a stick vacuum fall over in the middle of the night?!). I have little kids so I’m constantly vacuuming up crumbs, cereal, you name it. This vacuum has no problem picking it all up! Bonus, you can easily take off the stick mid vacuum and change it into a handheld. We also have a large hairy dog and so far the self-cleaning bristles work wonderfully. It’s also quiet! Or at least way quieter than my Dyson was. No problem vacuuming during nap time. ;)

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.

We 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.

Im really happy with my purchase! Ive only run the battery out once. Today. I hadnt vacuumed for a couple of weeks and I ran it on high almost the whole time, but I did get finished and had to empty the canister twice. Yeah, that dirty! My 2 daughters have Dysons. Until I bought a Shark Navigator, almost everything that blows or sucks in the house is a Dyson. I like my Shark better than theirs and it cost half as much. Theirs has no light shining on the floor ahead of you and believe me, you cant get stuff you cant see swept up! Also, with this you see clear tracks on the floor where the dust is now missing. Not just the dirt! It is amazing and I didnt want the light! The Dysons are quieter but they dont have a carpet cleaning setting. Turning on the carpet roller makes it noisier. I really like having the trigger to pull that makes the suction stronger. I use it about half the time...except today after having neglected cleaning for a couple of weeks. My dog sheds like crazy and it does the job pretty well. I do choose to vacuum the carpets every other week with the Navigator. It lifts the carpet nap better and gets up a bit more out of the nap. The stick does clean it well to the eye. Suction - my Shark picks up a lot of things on the floor that the Dysons cant; like leaves and dog kibble. It keeps pulling up all kinds of stuff until it just quits and then you know the battery has run out. Only twice since I bought it in November 2021. The front sponge roller popped out when I was using it today. Never before. It had picked up a corner of a rug. I cleaned out the area that holds it and put it right back in without having to look up how. Really nice! Its great! I am really happy! 6 months ago - Get one of these great cleaners while they are offering discounts! This quite surpassed my expectations for cleaning. The Vertex technology of having a solid, soft roller in front is amazing at cleaning, even the DUST off of my hard surfaces! I thought I wanted to be able to turn off the front headlights, but NO! I love seeing the absolutely dust-free/furless paths I am leaving on my floors. You need to do an internet search for reviews on Vertex! Thats what sold me! I am the daddy of a canine shedding machine and I am disabled with walking and balance issues. I am so glad Ill be able to vacuum as often as I want to. I am the owner of a Shark Navigator that sucks rugs off the floor. This isnt that powerful but I am really satisfied! It got my rugs clean with one pass. And my hard floors are sparkling clean! I was a bit scared about the weight of this vacuum because of my disability. You need not be. This is well balanced and although it wont stand up on its own, it will steadily lean on table/counter high surfaces like the back of a chair. Vacuuming for me used to mean fighting a cord wrapping around my cane and my back hurting for days. No more and I felt safe & steady using this vacuum. Do NOT be scared away by the reviews about static shocks! I used it through a full charge 3 times yesterday without a hint of static shock. It held a charge for at least 40 minutes while having the carpet roller operating about half the time. I am pleased with how long the charge lasts and how quickly it recharged. The cleaning head goes easily under the furniture that I kept a dust mop for. That suckers out of my way now! My model comes with 3 tools; a crevice tool, a multi-angle duster, and a pet upholstery tool that is converts from a 4 brush to a flat fuzzy tool. The motor assembly is easy to detach to use these tools. I am pleased to have the HEPA filtration but it wasnt a feature I felt I needed. I used it on carpet setting a bunch but VERY seldom used the boost suction mode, which does need to be constantly held on with your finger. But you wont be needing it except for bad spot cleaning! This picked up multiple leaves that were on my floors from heavy holiday traffic. I was pleasantly surprised. My upright only gets about half of them. I have multiple Dyson products in my house and a Dyson vacuum in the basement that after 4 years broke and wont switch from hose to floor. When I got my Shark upright Navigator I was blown away with the increased suction that seemed twice the Dyson. So, when I shopped for a cordless stick vacuum I didnt heed my daughters encouragement that I follow them back into Dyson world with this and went straight to Shark! I am really glad to have the 5 year warranty on the vacuum and 2 year on the REPLACABLE battery! Dont spend hundreds of dollars on a vacuum that doesnt have a removable/replaceable battery! Ill admit that after my Dyson experience I did buy the $35 extended warranty for peace of mind. I found two con issues but they were definitely not deal breakers! If you do some heavy cleaning you will have to reach into the dust cup and remove the wad of debris that wraps around the metal mesh post. I noticed some hair wrapped around the back beater-bar and when I turned over the cleaning head to easily open the cover to the bar, I found a bunch of dog hair on the brush bars that catch any errant fur. It was easy to pull off with my fingers. I would never bother to do that regularly. I just noticed it when I was getting my daughter-in-laws really long hair unwrapped from the bar. That will only be a holiday experience. Ill update this in a few weeks, but I wanted to encourage you to take advantage of the discounts being offered. I am so very happy I got this vacuum now!

I am in love with this vacuum. I have a 2,000 square foot home that is all hardwood and tile with a few rugs here and there. I was able to vacuum my whole house before this vacuum died. Not to mention it got so much hair up out of my rugs that I didn’t realize my other vacuums were missing. It has so much power and does so well on all the different flooring of my house! The only downside would be the canister size however if you don’t have pets, this should not be an issue for you!

First 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.

Ive had this Shark vac for 3 months now, and each time Ive used it, Ive told myself that I have to write a review! This cordless vac sucks up everything with ease!! My home has hardwood floors, ceramic tiles and plush carpet - and this vac seamlessly handles each flooring perfectly. Ive tried several other cordless vacs and they did not suction nor clean as thoroughly and as smoothly as this Shark Vac. This vac is not as light-weight as others, but thats because this motor works and does the job! The head pivots with ease and lets me get under - and around - my furniture. Its easy to clean and store. ITS THEEE BEST CORDLESS VAC!!
