Shark Cordless Vertex Pro Lightweight Cordless Stick Vacuum with DuoClean PowerFins, HEPA Fitler, Anti-Allergen Complete Seal, LED Headlights, For Carpets & Hardfloors, Red, IZ662H

I have tried a bunch of different cordless vacuums and this one is the very best! The battery charges really quickly. The battery lasts for a good amount of time even on the higher section modes. I also really love the fact that you can buy a spare battery for this aftermarket and it works just as good as the one that came with it. The other thing that I really love about this is that not only does it have really good suction but in the carpet mode or the hardwood floor mode it also has another mode where you can do a turbo mode and it will increase the suction even more. I also really love the attachments that it comes with. It makes it super easy to do the stairs. My stairs in my house are all carpet and are a huge pain to clean. This makes it so much easier! The transition between carpets to hardwood to tile works so well. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a really good cordless that is light and that has a longer battery life. I also really love how the brush roll doesn't get tangled. Just overall great cleaning tool.

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 went into this purchase. Not expecting this vacuum to be a strong as my corded vacuum, but I live in an old house with narrow staircases and it's a pain to haul a vacuum up and down stairs, so I mostly just leave this one upstairs. With that in mind, it's a pretty nice little vacuum. I would not want it to be my primary vacuum, but it works well as a backup. The battery length is pretty good, and it does have reasonably powerful suction. Although again, not as good as my regular corded vacuum. It does does best on flat surfaces and struggles with anything textured like entryway mats etc. I have multiple cats and so I mostly am vacuuming for litter and cat hair and it does pretty well at getting both of those things. The roller brush does get jammed fairly easily and it's mildly a pain to clean, there's not an easy way to snap it off, so in terms of design, I wish they had designed it to easily open for cleaning since periodically it loses suction power and needs to be cleaned before it'll work well again. But overall, it is really nice as a backup and I've been fairly impressed with it for a cordless vacuum.

just bought my 2nd one in 5 years - still the best vacuum cleaner. It works very well and easy to vacuum under the bed. Great for hard floors, tile floors, carpets and area rugs. It has 3 settings: hard floor, carpet, and turbo. It's light and built very well. Love the lights in the front.
