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

So far good vacuum, but very unhappy that it’s missing the Anti-Allergen Brush, which is specifically listed in the item description.

The only negative is the battery quit before I could get through my whole house, so I am ordering a second battery to keep charged in reserve. In terms of suction power and maneuverability, this machine beats my Dyson stick vac times ten! It picks up bird seed under the Canary cage (and all the larger bits that the Dyson would spit out) with great ease. I vacuumed under the beds and furniture with ease - theres a lot of dust hiding under there. It picks up a TON of dust that other machines have left behind. Im glad I ordered this.

Skip to bottom for breakdown on pros and cons. Overall good suctions. Just misleading on some things like battery life and bristles. So that’s why I’m only giving it 4 stars since it’s a nearly $300 vacuum. Suction seems overall really good as of now, but does have bristles (that was a big thing for me for the hardwood floors), and battery life only runs for around 20 minutes when using it as a vacuum, it only lasts (via the manual) for 40 minutes when using it handheld. UPDATE: I vacuumed my whole house (all hardwoods & is roughly 1500 sq ft) without the battery dying. So that definitely was a good thing. Satisfied with that! Also hook your crevice tool, or other tools to the part that attaches to the head, and Bam you have a long crevice tool that can get pretty much anywhere! I received the vacuum today, and I will update review as I go if I need to. First impression was the box was simple. Looked very generic, and I wished it had an actual name instead of just model number. I also thought it would only have powerfins and no bristles since that’s how it’s pictured and advertised. IT HAS BRISTLES. They feel soft, and I’m watching how they do on my LVP flooring but that’s very misleading because I thought it was going to be just a soft silicone fin. I’m scared it’s going to scratch my flooring. It’s overall very light, and nice sleek look to it. I used it as soon as I got it for about 10 minutes on the LVP flooring I have. It sucked up pet hair and dirt that I couldn’t even see. Worked great. I’m very satisfied with the suction so far. I did plug it in to charge after it died (before the initial charge), and it has now been 2 hours and it still isn’t fully charged. I do wish it had quicker charging. So I decided to glance through the manual to make sure I’m doing everything right. In the manual, it states with hand vac it works for up to 40 minutes, but only 25 mins on bare floor, and only 20 mins during carpet mode. If you’re using the boost (it has a boost button which is nice) vac with handheld it only works for 10 minutes on a full battery. So I would say it would only last in boost mode for about 12 minutes on bare floors, and probably less on carpet since it’s half the time almost from the hand vac times. I do wished the battery life was longer, and it’s misleading when it says the vacuum lasts around 40 minutes on a full battery. I knew it wouldn’t always last 40 minutes with different modes and flooring, but I didn’t think using the actual vacuum in standard mode on hardwoods would cut that time in almost half, to 25 minutes. Disappointed in that. I do like the design, the boost button (hate how much time it cuts off the run time before the battery dies), and I think it does a good job overall with suction this far. I also love the LED lights. I think it’s a pretty good vacuum. Wished it would come with two batteries so you could charge one and have a backup. I have an almost 1500 square foot house with all LVP flooring & a dog that sheds. So I will definitely be testing this out over the next days to get accurate timing myself. Breakdown is — Pros: 1. The style/design is sleek 2. Easy empty container 3. Boost mode button 4. Powerfins (it does have bristles though. Pics are misleading) 5. Good suction this far 6. LED lights 7. Can change battery out (only comes with 1 though) 8. Pretty easy and convenient storage Cons: 1. Battery life (states 40 mins but that’s for hand vac, only 25 mins for bare floor and 20 carpets) 2. Charging time — it’s been over 2 hours and it still isn’t fully charged. 3. Has bristles, does have powerfins — but pictures makes it look like it doesn’t have bristles and only has powerfins. It has both. This was one of the main reasonings I ordered this one was because I felt like it was safer on my flooring. 4. No “name” — just a model number. And the packaging looks generic. Not like an almost $300 vacuum. Came in a cardboard box, with the vacuum inside a plain white box.

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 have a mobility problem and tend to pretty much live in my recliner. The result of this is a zone of ick around the chair. This item really SUCKS crap off the floor, and is light enough for me to use.

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.

We got the sister model shipped without the removable battery… not happy with that, but Amazon made it right and worth our while to keep it. That having been said, this unit is perfect for our condo unit and tile floors. Love the lack of a power cord the most… never realized how convenient that feature is!

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.

Love the ease of using this - wish I had bought one a long time ago! Because its a Shark, I know that its doing a great job! I feel like my house is SO MUCH CLEANER with this around - easy to grab and go for a quick touch up. Love that I can transition from hard floor to low carpet with switching a button and you can hear and see the power it has! Love the light on the front - helps me see what Im cleaning up! The broom and dustpan ARE GONE! I realize now how much dirt and dust and dog hair they were leaving behind. (yuck the first time I used the Shark and the light showed me all that - AND I CLEAN, but it didnt look like it THAT day.) 10 stars for me!

Does not like heavy hair
