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

Our house is roughly 2/3 carpet and 1/3 hardwood floors. We also have two cats (certainly not nearly enough to be considered overrun, even less a feline rescue home), and those two little darlings track litter. Lots of litter. Between times hauling out our heavy vacuum, I’ve been using a cordless car vac to collect all the little white grains of litter off of the hardwood. Well, our daughter-in-law recently visited, saw me with the car vac (immediately took over), and enthusiastically recommended this cordless Shark upright. She extolled how great it is in cleaning floors, how I’d love the cordless feature, and how much better it would be for me to not be using the car vac. She was absolutely correct. I love this vacuum! It’s quiet, holds its charge for roughly 40-45 minutes, is easy to maneuver, and most important, takes care of all the kitty litter along with dust and cat hairs. The rotating blades are very efficient and seemingly act to leave the floors looking like they’ve been polished. It’s not exactly what I’d call lightweight , but it’s not too burdensome. It took me awhile to study the manual (which was easy to print off the internet), but the various attachments, filters, and modes of operation are pretty much intuitive. I’ve found I can do the entire hardwood floors 3X on one charge, and I’ve easily taken apart and cleaned the bin and filters each time the vacuum has needed recharging. Based on the manual, that frequency is unnecessary, but I like to keep the vacuum as clean as possible. I have only two minor complaints which do not detract from the 5 star rating: 1) I wish the battery charge indicator light were placed on top rather than on the side so that it’d be easy to glance at while the vacuum is in use. As it is, I know generally when I’m close to running out of power, but the end has also come as a surprise (and it always comes without warning). A visible, low power warning light would be helpful in timing more closely what specific areas to clean first; and 2) the HEPA filter doesn’t lift out on ours. The instructions I read and the Shark Company video I watched—along with other videos—show it just lifting out easily. Ours is clearly not moving. It doesn’t appear by any stretch as if it’s put in crooked, but it’s not budging. I figure when the time comes for cleaning it, I’ll have to take it to a vacuum repair shop, as I’m not about to force it loose. BTW, I’ve not used this vacuum on carpets. I know it’s supposed to work well on any flooring, but our carpets have a deep pile and I figure the Shark would lose power quickly in that environment plus the standard upright vacuum we have does an excellent job. The Shark has its established niche in my cleaning routine and it’s a very welcome addition!

This is my second time purchasing this vacuum, and I couldn’t be happier. I originally bought a different model in-store thinking I’d try something new, but it just didn’t compare. After a few frustrating uses, I went straight to Amazon to find the same vacuum I had before—and thankfully, it was still available! It’s reliable, powerful, and easy to use. I love how well it handles pet hair and everyday messes without losing suction. The design is simple but effective, and it’s clear this vacuum was built to last. I won’t be straying again—this is my go-to from now on! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable vacuum that gets the job done right.

I have all hard floors and small door mats throughout my 1000 square foot main floor. I also have two major shedders and one medium shedder. My goal was to find a light weight, maneuverable stick vac for daily pet hair clean up. I have a wonderful Miele for major cleaning but it is kinda cumbersome for daily use. For my purposes this does the job pretty well. I like the light weight and maneuverability and the battery run time is adequate for my relatively small space. The bagless collector is great. It’s easy to empty completely. The brush/fin roller doesn’t get clogged up with hair at all. The small side wheels do get quite a bit of pet hair wound around them but they do seem to keep rolling with a little extra care removing the wound up hair. The odor neutralizer seems to work really well. Cleaning up dust and pet hair can make for a stinky vac, but so far that doesn’t seem to be an issue. I do think it could have better suction particularly on the sides of the vacuum head. As this is my first stick vac I’m mostly satisfied. When I need to replace it I’m going to be interested in more powerful suction in general but specifically from the sides of the head, lighter weight would be nice and a longer run time would be better. That said I’m good with this model.

This cordless vacuum is one of the lightest and easiest to handle that I’ve ever used. It works on both hard and soft surfaces. It knows when to apply more or less suction, which is a really neat feature, and ensures that it picks up the most dirt possible.It has a soft scent that it leaves behind. It’s easy to empty. Easily one of the highest quality vacuums I’ve purchased in recent years.

This is the best vacuum I have ever had. It's not the strongest or most powerful, it doesn't have attachments. It doesn't do the very highest quality job. But- it is so convenient to use that I do, every day. In the past I would dread getting out my canister sac, trying to pull it through the house, constantly bending over to straighten the hose or move the heavy canister. This vac you just whip out, it is so light and moves and turns so easily. It's a breeze to empty. Then easy to plug in and quickly recharges. I am a senior, and for me this is the best vacuum going. Love it!

Assuming you can pick this vacuum up on sale for <$400, I consider it the best in its class in terms of overall usefulness and value. Pros: - light weight - extremely maneuverable( especially for under beds, desks, etc.) - makes easy work of small to medium sized spaces - enables great cleaning at night due to the built in lights - the duo clean brush heads make cleaning hardwood, tile, laminate and very low carpets a breeze - moderate to good clean time when ran on low power setting - multiple cleaning head attachments make getting into any groove or awkward space easy - its small enough and compact enough to be stored anywhere you need it due to its folding capability - the detachable battery allows for charging to be done anywhere and alleviates the need to lug the main body to an outlet - the rollers can be accessed very easily if maintenance is needed Cons: - overpriced and under powered if bought for too much and not on sale - struggles with longer carpets and requires far too much power to be effective - battery life is good, but gets used up very quickly when on the higher setting or when frequently using the 'turbo' boost - the collection canister could be larger - the battery takes a very long time to recharge when fully depleted - it's kind of loud 😅

This model has a removable battery with twice the power storage as the entry-level model, as well as the locking swivel in the handle. We have a 1250 sqft townhouse, mostly carpeted, and can vacuum the entire place on one charge, with a little charge to spare. Less battery would be a problem. Our son has the entry-level model and after trying it we were impressed with the lightness and power of the vac. We're glad we got the more-expensive model (even if twice the price seems excessive). Previous battery-powered vacuums we have owned were not up to the task. But a light, cordless vac is wonderful -- so much easier to use. The entry-level model doesn't want to stand upright on its own when in storage, it needs to be supported somehow. This model folds up and stores in the closet quite nicely.

The Shark cordless vacuum I purchased does a great job, good suction and battery life. The only problem I had I didn't realise it came from US and then had to get to JB HiFi to get an adapter for it obviously I didn't read the finer print.

Llevo un año creo con ella y sigue funcionando bien. Muy práctica. La agarré en descuento. Si pudiera comprarla con la dyson, está mejor la dyson pero por el precio que conseguí valió la pena.

Great product. Works well. Cleans both carpet and floors very well. Plenty of power. Would be even better if it came with a crevice brush attachment.
