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

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!

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 purchased the Shark IZ462H Vertex Ultra Lightweight Cordless Stick Vacuum about 2 weeks ago. I did a lot of research on cordless vacuums and I chose the Shark because of its generally good reviews, and an in-depth review by an evaluator who used the vacuum for multiple days who gave it high marks. I am very pleased with the vacuum because it’s does what I need but there are limitations (this won’t replace my Dyson Animal, but I hope to use that far less). For me, my primary interest is to use the Shark daily on one floor of the house to tidy up the loose hair from our five short hair dogs. It does this wonderfully. Easy to use, light, no cord, gets under furniture, not at all bulky like the Dyson, runs for at least 30 minutes using the normal setting, and does an excellent job in capturing the hair and other dirt particles. We have no carpet in the house except for runners. The vacuum does well on the carpet as well but the vacuum head setting for carpet uses more power (there are two settings; one for hard floors and one for carpet). I am not sure I would rely on the Shark if I had a lot of carpet because I suspect the useful battery time would diminish. However, one could buy another battery (they change out quickly) to make the vacuum more useful. The vacuum also has attachments which are useful but somewhat limited in that the brush attachment doesn’t have a 360 adjustment like other vacuums. The vacuum is easy to empty but it doesn’t hold a tremendous amount of dirt but it is adequate. I will take the ease of handling and lighter weight over a larger dirt capacity of a heavier and bulkier vacuum. One feature I really appreciate with this Shark is the ability to release a pivot hinge in the middle of the vacuum main tube in order to get under furniture easily. This is a super feature and works extremely well. This alone is almost worth the price of the vacuum. The vacuum also has a boost setting that increases the amount of vacuum provided but I haven’t used it much except to try it to see what it provides. One last point, a major and well respected independent non-profit product review organization would not make any recommendations for cordless vacuums due to their limitations and uncertain reliability. The Shark comes with a five year limited guarantee and I purchased an additional guarantee from Amazon to supplement the manufacturers guarantee. So, hopefully[p] I am covered if the Shark dies a premature death. In summary I give the Shark 5 stars because it meets my need and I think it does exactly what it is designed to do at a reasonable price.

I feel lame having this much happiness over a vacuum but here I am. Suction is incredible and doesn’t blow dust and pet hair away in other directions. Works amazing on pet hair (I have a husky and two cats that shed a lot) and even litter stones. It can go everywhere basically. The head swivels so you can easily get under cabinetry overhangs, the flexibility to “flatten” it allows for me to vac in hard to reach spots that otherwise would just be a spring cleaning chore. Vac is lightweight but battery is heavy. It doesn’t bother me though. Hard to gauge the lifetime of the battery but I’m able to vacuum my 1600 sq ft home on various suction powers (carpet and hardwood) without it dying. LOVE that it came with two batteries so you can always have one charges up and ready to go! HIGHLY recommend for any home, especially ones with pets. 10/10 so far (2 months use)

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.

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. ;)

I ordered this vacuum and after a few uses, the vertex stick broke and wouldnt allow the vacuum to be unfolded in order to actually use it. I called shark ninja and they were mostly helpful. It was about $60 to get a new one as its not a covered part in their warranty. the power is decent for a cordless stick vacuum but the selling point for me is that i can fold this vacuum up and store it under a cabinet. thats something i cant do with my giant kirby

I have used this stick vac every day since receiving it and I really, really like it. Very good value for the money. The functionality where you can break the stick in two to vacuum under furniture is so simple to use and a complete revelation. Where have you been all my life?! I use this feature all the time and absolutely love it. I also like the exceptional maneuverability of the vacuum head and the very bright LED headlights, features I didnt even know I wanted but also love. It will literally move around in a circle from a static position. You can use the break in half feature to store it upright but bent over itself so its not necessary to lean it up against a wall. It does not come with a dock or any kind of storage mounting system. Another of the really nice things is that the top part breaks off to become a hand vac but, not only that, all the accessory tools can plug into the hand vac, including the power head, which is a premium feature I was looking for. This is very handy for vacuuming the couch or a bed and seems to be a unique feature as I didnt find it elsewhere. On the down side, I would say that the unit is a bit top heavy, which gives me the feeling that it could give you tennis elbow pretty fast if you had a second battery to extend the time you can use it. I am happy with the battery life. On the fastest non-turbo speed it cleans a combo of hard and carpet surfaces for around 20 minutes. This unit is not for deep cleaning but has enough suction to pick up Cheerios and dog kibbles as well as all the dust bunnies and pet hair on your solid surface floors. It gets my long hairs up off of the carpet, as well. It is IDEAL for day to day cleaning that keeps your house looking nice and makes big cleaning days far less work. Bravo, Shark!

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 would recommend it for anyone who wants to go cordless but doesnt want to pay the price for a Dyson. Pros: Works great on tile and wood. Love the bending feature for going under tables and chairs. Good on carpet and rugs if you vacuum regularly. Beater doesnt tangle with dog hair as advertised! Going cordless is great and is a time saver. Battery life is fine but we divide the chore - upstairs one day, downstairs another day. Cons: Will not stand up with battery connected-if you need to pause to move something you will have to lean it against something or lay it down. This is an annoyance that I can live with. 3 hours to fully charge battery. If you have a large area that uses the whole charge it would make sense to buy an extra battery just like you would for any cordless tool.
