But not well built and not as good S the price would have you believe.

Ive had 3 Dyson stick vacuums and cannot live without it. Old one broke, I smashed the head of another and just bought a new one and another was an upgrade. However, with full suction on, they tend to die fast and I cannot finish vacuuming my main floor. So I purchased this Shark and I was surprised at how much I love it compared to the Dyson. Ill explain some pros/cons compared to the Dyson. Pros: -Charge lasts MUCH longer. -Light on end of vacuum (seeing things Id never pick up with the Dyson in dim areas) -Release button in middle for angled vacuuming under couch, chairs etc so you dont have to bend over! Very unique. -Price point (half the price of a top Dyson stick) -Suctions as well as Dyson if not better TBH. I vacuumed with this after my Dyson and it picked things up the Dyson didnt. -Quieter -Head maneuvers similar to Dyson -Similar canister emptying -Stands up right so no lifting off base and has rubber guards on back so doesnt damage walls if sits near one. Bends inhale for easy storage too. -Has two types of suction- hard floor and carpet. As well as boost button. Cons: -Noticeably heavier but only by a few pounds. My arm hurts after awhile unlike the Dyson. Still lighter than most vacuums. -Larger overall. -Need to plug in but easy enough with simple round plug on top where Dyson has easy charging station -Have to hold the boost suction button like the old Dyson. -Need to store on the floor so takes up some space. Overall, its a great alternative and I had to buy it because my Dyson would not complete the task. So if you do not have a Dyson stick, this is probably the next best thing and you wont regret it.

Like the power boost feature

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.

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 is my first cordless and so far it’s great! Takes some patience learning how to set up and clean. A little more expensive than I expected but I’ve been waiting for the chance to get a hair free roller and a longer run battery and this beauty delivers.

Buy it no matter what, that’s all I can say. When we purchased corded vacuums I got the Shark Navigator and haven’t gone back to any other corded brand. In choosing cordless though I always thought it was more of a gimmick than a true tool so I tended to buy cheap knock offs to just get pet hair from the floors and possibly something heavier like dirt. Anything else and the two cordless vacuums were so underpowered that I never believed it would come close to really cleaning up much at all. When our third cheap brand cordless died in less than a year, I thought I’d upscale to something that might last over a year. I took nearly a month researching brand after brand to find one that was both affordable, reliable and powerful enough for us. Ultimately I bought this Shark Vertex for the following reasons: 1) At $365 it was half the price of a Dyson. It was still twice as much as what I’d paid for cheap no name brands but I needed something that would actually last. While not cheap, I could afford it. 2) The problem with no name brands is that if one piece is lost or broken they don’t tend to sell parts for them. With this Shark I made sure that there were replacement parts for anything I might break, and there are. Any repairs down the line should cost tens of dollars from now on, not another $100-150 to buy another cheap cordless to throw away a few months later. 3) This thing is powerful. Wow. None of the other cordless vacuums I had really did much on carpet. The brush might grab some of the detritus on the rugs but it was a 50-50 crap shoot. As for pet hair, that was even worse. This Vertex is pretty incredible. On carpet mode I’m able to get it on my deep plush rug and get pet hair and anything else right off. You know it’s working when you can’t see anything on the rug but after you go over it there’s all this captured filth sitting in the container! Not only does the rotating head work really well (and especially the anti hair tangling feature) but the suction is very good. Obviously not as good as the corded but definitely good enough. We are alternating cord-cordless every weekend so that we get extra deep cleaning every other week. Battery power is impressive. We’ve done the two large rugs downstairs, the hard wood floors, the carpeted stairs and four carpeted bedrooms all one one charge-just. But that it’s able to do all of that is really impressive. Additionally you can also purchase another battery for $80 if you think you might runout if power. The “crack” feature which allows the handle to look like a broken arm and get to almost a 90 degree angle so that you can get under furniture is a pretty nifty feature. I thought it was a silly gimmick but I use it quite a bit. One thing that bothers me though is that the little toggle that releases the straight arm into the angle is a small plastic piece that I’m pretty sure I’m going to accidentally break off one day-need to check if THAT part is replaceable. Couple other things I didn’t like: There’s no wall mount but that’s probably because it’s heavy at nearly 10 lbs. Took a couple uses to get used to the new weight but once you get used to it, it’s definitely worth the trade off of some extra weight for extra power. The other thing is that the roller head is not only larger because of the dual rollers, but it’s pretty noisy on the carpet mode. Again, I think it’s a fair trade off to get a louder heavier roller head for much more effective cleaning power. All in all this vacuum is a keeper. The vacuum is warrantied for defects for up to 5 years! For normAl wear and tear of parts that need to be replaced, those items are available on the Shark store and on Amazon.

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)

We bought this vacuum to replace a eufy HomeVac Duo 2-in-1 Cordless Vacuum with the intent for using it in a similar manner - to handle quick vacuum jobs around the house - primarily on hardwood. To our surprise the Shark not only performs very well on the hardwood, as expected, but is powerful enough to handle our carpets, which are rather thick and challenging. Even the LED light on the front is a nice added touch and helped us see and pick up more dust and dirt. The Shark is simple overall - with a sleek design that is minimal, which makes storing it very easy - we are easily able to store this between our washer and dryer in our bathroom, nice and tucked away, but very accessible in a moments notice. Check out the first picture - the motor comes off and hooks to the bottom of the stick/vacuum head to self balance and makes for compact storage. We have a small dog and 2 women in our house - so removing hair from vacuum cleaner heads has become something we are used to having to do every couple months. I was amazed the Shark has NO HAIR tangled in the vacuum head after 40 minutes of vacuuming, which would normally result in a tangled hair mess with the eufy. See the 2nd picture - this shows you what the vacuum head looks like after 40 minutes of vacuuming - not one hair! The attachments that come with the Shark are very convenient and easy to snap on and off - making it easy to reach tight spaces, vacuum couches, etc. In addition the ability to attach the vacuum head directly to the motor allows us to vacuum the stairs with ease. The vacuum head is the perfect width for the stairs and it made a once tedious and annoying job easy. The 3rd picture shows the 2 setting the Shark has; one for bare floors and then ramped up power and a spinning vacuum head for carpet. You cannot go wrong for the price - especially if you find yourself dealing with a vacuum hair always snarled in hair. You will be impressed by the power, ease of use, and overall convenience of the Shark. The only thing you may be wanting bit more of it battery life - as you find yourself getting carried away with the ease of use. Happy vacuuming!

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.
