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

One of the best purchases I ever made! Wasn’t sure I needed the feature where the handle flattens out so you can go under things easily or the LED lights but I love both! I love the way the vacuum head is much smaller than a traditional vacuum because between that and being able to easily lay the handle flat you can get under just about anything! No more dust under the kitchen chairs. I can get all the way to the wall. No more broom and dustpan for sweeping the kitchen floor every night! The one thing I wondered about is how well does it edge? It does a great job! Love the roller brush. No more spitting things out. It also picks up larger pieces of things easily. My old vac I would have to stop and use the hose because my old vac just pushed it around. This one picks it right up. I did decide to get an extra battery just in case I ever need it. I vacuum my 1,500 square feet apartment and have never run out of battery. I really haven’t seen a negative yet. In my opinion. The extra features really are worth spending the extra money. I am so pleased with my purchase!

Light and great swivel...cleans excellently...long battery use even with one but (I got an extra battery)...I purchased the fold down model and it is a fantastic feature. Dust cup is a bit small but since the vacuum is lightweight and not full size its fine. Be sure to put it low into the waste basket to empty so dust doesnt fly out. I wipe the inside with a baby wipe after removing the debris. Easy to store. Great all around!

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 have only had this vacuum for a few months, but it has many features that the Dyson does not have, at a much cheaper price. Im very happy with this purchase. Now, I just have to see if I can find a crevice attachment for it. It came with some nice attachments, but not a good crevice tool. I recommend this.

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.

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.

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

Really like this vacuum. Great for a multi dog household and I use it daily. The two cons are not being able to keep the attachments, at least one, directly on the machine. The biggest con would be the shocks. Whew! It zaps quite hard and it seems to get worse as time goes on. I use a silicone oven mitt to keep from getting zapped.

This is such a well-designed product! The under-furniture feature is clutch. The lights help you spot floor dust or cobwebs day or night. The suction gets everything. Its lightweight and easy to transport up or down stairs. It holds a charge for your whole house and charges quickly. The canister is easy to empty. The attachments are easy to use. This thing is perfection!!

This as got to be the best money spent in a long time! Even my 28 year old daughter agrees with me, she uses more than I do and she tells me almost every time she uses it that it was money well spent. She even shows me something new she finds out about it every time too lol! Like the button she found on how to take the canister off to empty it with taking the whole top of the vacuum off, and how to remove the head of the vacuum, it’s a new toy we get to play with every time we vacuum, and it’s like we love to vacuum now, I mean we have dogs so you know they shed a lot and now we look for their fur on the floor - no seriously we do and we’re like…”Oh look we need to vacuum there’s fur on the floor!” or “ Hey ya know I happen to think I haven’t vacuumed behind the range or the fridge in like forever OR my closet!!” Seriously we have gone crazy with this thing! When I say we love, I mean WE LOVE IT! Oh and I almost to mention…the batteries - they seem to do really well at keeping up with us. I mean my daughter said she will vacuum the kitchen and the living room and hallway and still have battery life to spare, and remember we’re chasing a lot of fuz and fur here so that’s a plus to us!! The only thing is it is a little on the heavy side, I mean it’s not crazy heavy but after vacuuming for a few minutes it starts to get a little heavy.
