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 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.

Bought as a Christmas gift in October...when it stopped working this week, they replaced the part that wasnt working without hesitating. Thank you!

Love the cordless feature and the ability to have the upright tube bend to get under couches/beds. I am very impressed how much dirt it pulls out of carpets. Rating could have been higher but have not had it very long.

My dog is a papillion. Vacuum worked very well until my dog hairs tightened around the smallest wheels. The vacuum no longer slides easily across my rugs due to the inability to completely remove tightened hairs. The wheels are extremely tiny and require tweezers to remove the dog hairs. I would have given the vacuum a higher rating but I need to remove the dog hairs every time I vacuum. If a customer representative would like to reach out with a solution please contact me.

Just moved into a new house & it was time to replace my ailing Wind Tunnel. Ive been reading tons of reviews, including Wirecutter & Consumer Reports, trying to decide which upright or cordless to go with. I was will to spend the money on a Dyson if thats what it took to stay ahead of the fur and kitty litter from my two cats. Im not a clean freak, but moving furniture out of my old house (and having dark laminate floors with a lot more natural sunlight in my new house) made it apparent that we were failing to stay on top of the pet hair. After all my research, this seemed like my best option. I crossed my fingers that this was a good choice because the only Shark I had was a hand held model & I wasnt impressed. Also, Wirecutter wasnt a fan of cordless vacuums, but I really wanted that option & there are ALWAYS a few bad consumer reviews -- so hard to know what to believe. Admittedly, Ive only had it for a week, but I LOVE IT!! It does a great job on both carpets and bare floor and also vacuums rugs without sucking the edges into the vacuum. I couldnt believe how much cat hair it picked up (or should I say was missed with my Swiffer) on all surfaces. It also did a better job on stray pieces of kitty litter -- better than my B&D Dustbuster. The light also makes it easier to see where you missed. Its lightweight (but have to get use to a cordless being top heavy) and I love that the power switch stays on (all Dyson cordless models have a trigger that has to be squeezed the entire time youre using it -- no thanks) and very easily switches from carpet to bare floor mode at the power switch. The run time is great and I love that it can get underneath furniture that none of my uprights could. Also, emptying the container is super easy (I will admit that if theres a lot of cat hair, I have to dig some of it out with my hand, but its not difficult, and so what if I have to wash my hands afterwards). Im SO GLAD I got this vacuum and would highly recommend it.

After you get used to pushing the correct buttons (one to release the handle, one to release the filter basket, and others), the added features are great! Maybe label the buttons? The headlamp is bright. Having an extra battery is convenient, the adjustable arm for sweeping beneath furniture saves my back. I would prefer more power on the hard floor setting level 3 (like you get when the carpet setting 3). The adjustable vac settings allow me to vac floor rugs without sucking them up into the vac. The rollers could be a little easier to remove, but the instructions helped a lot. I replaced my Electrolux stick vac and I’m happy with all of the extra features as soon as I’m more proficient pressing the correct button.

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.

My last corded Shark vaccuum was a beast. Its suction power was amazing, but it was quite a job hauling it around. I really wanted to love my first cordless vacuum, but Im unconvinced. CONS: -It doesnt stay up by itself. The canister tips it over. You can bend it so that it stays up while charging or while being stored, but you cant just leave it up if you have to stop or youre interrupted. -The canister is smaller. -Mine has clogged 2 out of the 4 times Ive used it. The neck part between the roller and the main stick is very narrow, and you have to unlock the vacuum head to unclog it. Please note that I have not been doing huge vacuum jobs! This is just a 2xs a week regular vacuuming. This is pretty unacceptable. -Theres not a way to attach the edger and other attachments to the stick vacuum as I go along. So if I want to quickly switch to the edger, for example, I have to either carry it with me the whole time, or go get it from wherever it is. -The suction power. Its just not what Im used to with corded vacuums. If I use the pull trigger for max power, it drains the battery so much faster. -The battery says its supposed to last 60 minutes, but mine only lasts 20-30 minutes if I use the carpet or max power option. -I cant figure out a good way to use this on the stairs yet. It only comes with two small attachments. Perhaps the edger is the best way to go. PROS: -I absolutely love how lightweight it is! -I absolutely love not having a cord. I feel like I can go around quicker as I edge the whole house. -I think the bare-floor setting is better than my last corded Shark. The package was already opened and re-taped when I received it. It makes me nervous that it was previously used or refurbished, when it was supposed to be brand new. Im a little on the fence, but I think if I knew I could return it for a full refund after having used it four times, I would. Its too bad you just dont know until youve used it.

As I’m still using this vacuum, it’s wonderful for the floors, quite. It did take me awhile to figure how to unfold to make upright. Nice that you can disconnect the battery from the vacuum and charge elsewhere. Because the battery is close to the handle of the vacuum, it’s heavy, even on low rug setting it still sucks up my area rugs and will suck up cat/dog toys with no problems. Make sure they are all picked up. I feel even though it was not great for my area rugs, I still like it to use on my floors, and you can get under chairs, bed etc.

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.
