Shark Cordless Vertex Pro Lightweight Cordless Stick Vacuum, Red, IZ662H

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!

I have been looking to replace my bulky vacuum for almost a year, reading reviews and doing research. We live in a civil war home with the original hardwood plank floors. This vacuum has exceeded my expectations! It’s lightweight and so much handier to take up and down the steps, the attachments make keeping the open ceiling beams dust free. The light is bright so I can see under the couch, beds and those other dark spaces that a bulky vacuum can’t reach without bending down to reach. It’s a lot quieter as well. I am able to finish the whole house on one charge. Added bonus, I can clean out my car too since it’s cordless. It doesn’t take up much room, just take it apart for storage! Super simple to empty the canister. This is a game changer! For reference, I had just vacuumed with my old sweeper and just look what the Shark picked up. Pretty jarring considering I vacuum every other day!

Overall it performs well. The battery doesn’t last as long as I would wish but I can get my apartment done in one full charge go. I occasionally take it with me to help clean other peoples (family and friends places). I can full take it apart to clean which is something I’ve always liked about shark they get that you need to clean the things that clean your home. You can remove the rolling brush to clean it or the floor rolling section. Just press the button on the base by the S side of the shark logo. It’s can replace the filter easily, empty canister easily, and unclog if it were to get jammed or clogged fairly easily. I just wish the machine wouldn’t kick into high drive when I didn’t ask it too on regular carpet. Thin industrial or tile it runs regular suction but regular carpet it kicks it up and lowers battery life. But so far it’s doing great will update after a few months.

I’m 75 years old and have owned more vacuum cleaners than I care to think about. I purchased another brand cordless vacuum stick last month and really liked it until it died after just a few weeks… Researching for a replacement with better reliability, I found this wonderful Shark Vacuum Stick…. My initial impression was that it’s a bit heavy and slightly clunky compared to the Samsung model I just returned, but after using this baby a few times I love it. It’s AWESOME! This Shark does a great job cleaning my dark brown bamboo floors and the area rugs in my 3000 square foot house without recharging. The Samsung had to recharge after about 1500 sq Ft. Emptying the large dirt bin isn’t an unpleasant experience, and after releasing the motor/canister from the stick I was impressed with how easy disassembly and reassembly went… At my age, dust on baseboards and chair rails, as well as some dirt in corners and other hard to reach areas has become the norm. My Roomba and the corded uprights just couldn’t get those hard to reach areas on the floors, and it’s just too hard on my knees and back to crawl around more than a few times each year. I found accessories on all upright cleaners too awkward and difficult to use…. but I was inspired by the Shark’s light weight and gave it a try… All I can say is WOW! Baseboards, corners and close to furniture and cabinets are now spotless! My house hasn’t been this clean in a long time… Best of all, I’m not exhausted from the task. LOVE my Shark cordless stick vacuum!!! Time will tell about long-term reliability and battery life. Some good news I found in my research… the replacement battery cost for the Shark is about half the cost of a Samsung battery. Next time this vacuum goes on sale I’ll be buying several as presents for friends and family! My advice is buy two or three of these…. One for yourself and one for your elderly parents/grandparents… they’ll love it and thank you for it! UPDATE**** Still going strong at about 4 months use. I ordered an extra battery, which is easily swapped out. Just push a button and the battery releases. I was given two Dyson V6 cordless vacuums by a neighbor who isn’t very mechanically inclined … The Dyson isn’t the latest model, but a comparison: After ordering aftermarket batteries, it was easy to remove a few screws and replace the originals. The Shark is quieter, easier to use, and definitely easier to swap a spare battery. The Dyson is a bit prettier, and may have slightly more suction, although it’s only a one speed suction. Both will get the job done. If you want to impress someone else, get a Dyson. If you want a better all around machine at a good price, get the Shark.

I've owned this vacuum for about five years now. And I must say I've been a terrible vacuum owner, I've never changed or washed the filters like I should have and it has continued to work really well. It gets the fine dust off my hard wood floors and sucks up my long hair without getting tangled. The battery lasts multiple vacuum sessions with a mix of full house 1400sqft and quick mess sessions. I charge it maybe every couple weeks. It takes a while to charge but it's usually very low when I do it. It's super simple to work and has worked amazingly and it still going. Decided to write a review while I was looking up my vacuum to finally order new filters. Very durable, lightweight enough and has never clogged from hair. For how long it has lasted (and continues to live) it is worth the money.

I needed to replace my Samsung jet 75 cordless stick vacuum I purchased back when the Treasure Truck was a thing. It was a terrific price and worked well until it didn't -- the dustbin cracked and became difficult to release and empty. I replaced it with this, which has decent reviews, but some of the problems in other reviews I have also. the -Suction isn't exceptional, but merely alright. -Vacuuming stairs in a narrow space is challenging because if the handle is upright the roller doesn't roll, so it doesn't really do anything unless the vacuum suction area is directly over what needs to be sucked up. (definitely NOT a suck-up!) -It's a bit loud -the dust bin doesn't evacuate easily or as nicely as I'd like. I ALWAYS need to pull out my hair, and my kitty's hair which gets stuck inside the dust bin. -the filters don't clean well even if rinsed after each use -- the little circle of dust just doesn't rinse out of either the foam filter, nor the felt filter. -the dust bin doesn't seem to be able to be returned to like-new cleanliness -- too many small crevasses -- extra tools are needed -my kitty is afraid of it (she only was cautious of the Samsung but didn't run away from it) -the price for the ease of use and cleaning ability do not coincide -- it's too expensive for the usage I'm receiving from it. -The floor attachment still gets long hair or loose carpet strings wrapped around it, even though the product details say that the design doesn't allow for that. +I like the light on the floor attachment +comes with two batteries which makes it convenient when one is needing a charge the other could be used and the 'empty' could be charged. The roller of the floor attachment picture is after I cleaned it, and after I cut my very long hair (I could sit on it) to just below chin length (it will grow back). I would not purchase this one again. I'm very sad I paid this amount. If I didn't I'd definitely be looking for a different one. And I purchased it on sale too. Sad.

Love the rubber roller to help eliminate hair wrapping. Great accessories that prove useful for all sorts of cleaning around house. Cordless nature makes cleaning more easy and less hassle. No regrets! Good suction, not the strongest on market but perfect for regular cleaning. Great grip for small and large hands, and no hair wrap roller design is top tier for a battery stick vac

I was really excited for this product but i was a tad disappointed. It does really well picking up cat litter and dog hair! I also love how lightweight it is and super easy to use. My concern is the quality of the product material and design for the money. You cannot store the vacuum in "ready to use" positioning because it's too heavy with the battery and the cup at the top. You have to take the top off each time you're done using it and slip it into the bottom- but it doesn't click in place which lacks stability and security. i dropped the top piece from 3in above the ground and the piece around the power button broke bc the plastic used wasn't durable. for best user design, the top piece should lock into place on the bottom so the handle can still be used for carrying the vacuum around. while i love this vacuum and it meets our needs, i wouldn't buy this product again nor would i spend more than $150 on it.

It is so nice not to be fighting with an attached cord when you are cleaning. This vacuum has great suction and lasts 40 min on lower setting and about 35 min using both settings. Love it 😊 I do all wood floors on low and rugs too and then go back over rugs on high and I have enough time to do all in a 1350 sq ft apt.I have bad Arthritis and back and the flexible wand is a life saver as you don't have to bend down to do under furniture 👍 I have always had Dysons but this gets along the edge of woodwork better than any of Dysons and no cord is awesome.😊 I would highly recommend this vacuum as I love ,love love it !!😊

The only bad point, from a customer point of view. The charger, did not come with an Australian power point connection. Had to go to Coles am buy a travel power point connection.

It took me a couple of weeks to decide whether I should get the Dyson or this one. This purchase didn’t disappoint me. First I was hesitant but I was surprised that the anti tangle brush really works and the suction is very strong. I think my only complaint is that the battery only last for about 30 minutes. The first time I used it, I was so excited to clean my apartment so I tried if that battery would really take 40 minutes but after about half an hour the battery just died on me and when I tried to charge it, two of the LED lights are blinking. According to Sharks website, the battery overheats and I just need for it to cooldown. I’m glad that after 5 minutes, it started charging again. So far, I’m happy and surprised that this vacuum is very powerful.

This vaccum is passing the test! I had the pet pro detect and was disappointed. It kept getting clogged with EVERY use, and was difficult to unclogg. The vertex hasn't clogged on me. I have 3 young kids, both hard and carpeted floors. It has a great battery life and is compact yet powerful. Super easy to empty and generally impressed with it overall. It is also quieter than expected without losing out on power!

I love this. Perfect for my one bedroom highrise condo. I am replacing my canister which is 12 years old (and still working!). This upright goes from floor to shag carpet! Powerful and easy to use. Just plug the power cord into the battery. Fully powered it goes for 50 minutes. My son and daughter both have the more expensive uprights but they can’t do shag carpets. I highly recommend this brand and model for efficacy and value.
