Shark IZ682H Vertex Pro Lightweight Cordless Stick Vacuum with DuoClean PowerFins, Black/Silver

Pros: • Easy to wheel around with actual wheels. • Good suction and it appears to have very good filtration. • I like the bare floor mode and carpet mode ability. • Large dirt bin. • Dual rollers in the power head do a good job with dirt & debris. • Battery life is good and it came with two batteries so you have the ability to swap out batteries if one runs out during use. Cons: • Very top heavy – will not stand on its own unless folded into storage mode • Storage mode forces you to bend down to unlatch and grab the power unit to fold it back up to upright position • No utensil storage on the unit. • Doesn’t have a way to hang it on the wall – must fold into storage mode. • “No Touch” dust bin is definitely NOT no touch. Due to a piece that sticks into the bin from the lid of the bin, pet hair and debris wraps around the piece and you have to manually pull the debris off the piece. We'll see about reliability - the Dyson models that I've used in the past were expensive and suffered from poor reliability and longevity. So, after using the vac for a week or two, some comments are: cleans well; battery life is OK but I can definitely understand why the unit ships with two batteries; the two floor rollers do NOT stay clean of pet hair and certain debris. One thing the Dyson floor rollers were very good at was staying clean and untangled. Dyson has combs built into the roller housing that do a great job of cleaning pet hair and such off the roller. Our dog brings in pieces of grass, especially now that the grass is starting to go dormant. We're talking inch and a half or two inch pieces of grass. These can get trapped in the second roller which is NOT removable. The user manual says to put the vacuum into rug mode, which increases the speed of the rollers, and turn it to high suction mode to try and rid the roller of debris. That works, to a degree. See the attached photo.

Love this! I have tested it for over a year now and it is incredible! I have 3 long haired dogs, and a cat. It is one of Sharks better ideas. It is, so far the best vacuum I have had. The only setback is cleaning the back roller. It can be done, but it's a challenge.

I have a powered Shark and I love it. This cordless model is ok. I don’t get the hype with these cordless vacuums… It does pick up ok on the Med speed but I find it misses some stuff that my powered Shark would not. I find I have to use the high power to get it to pick it up (and that drains the battery VERY fast). I don’t like the feel off the vacuum. It doesn’t run smoothly (I suspect it’s the fins underneath causing this). I have to make sure to vacuum in certain directions to get the vacuum to work best. Also after vacuuming my carpet, it just doesn’t look vacuumed. I am used to seeing vacuum lines in my carpet and there is none. Those lines imo meant the suction was good. I NEVER see vacuum lines after using this cordless vacuum. It does pick up stuff because I do have to empty the bin- but I just don’t think these cordless vacuums do as good a job as a plug in vacuum. It’s a shame as I like the portability, the lightness and compactness of the vacuum. I think it would work better on tile/wood floors. Now let’s talk about the battery charge… a HUGE selling point for me was the addition of a second battery and the ability to remove it to charge. I would NEVER recommend anyone not having a second battery when purchasing ANY cordless vacuum. The battery runs out pretty quick esp if you use the highest power setting. That setting really should only be used once in a while as it drains the battery VERY quickly. I use the med setting only (low setting is a waste of time imo) and occasionally the high. I use a battery and a 1/2 for about 1200 Sq foot. If I only had 1 battery I would have to wait 2-3 hours for it to recharge to finish my home. The things I like about this vacuum was the attachments, extra battery, method of charging and how compact it is. I also like that I can vacuum under my couch because of how compact it is. This vacuum can also be used as a hand held- because of the attachments it can be used to vacuum ur car (if you live where there is no power outlet access, like and apartment, this will be great). The thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t stand up on its own when the battery is on which can be annoying. I kept the vacuum but will still hang on to my powered vacuum. I was really hoping to replace my larger plug in vacuum with this. Just one more thing to take up space…. It’s Nov 2025- this product is now almost 3 years old and is no longer holding a charge for long. I would think the battery would last longer than 3 years esp if a replacement battery is $92 for one and I need 2. I have a shark powered vacuum and it’s been going for way over 10 years- still strong. I understand batteries die over time but to only last 2 years 11 month is a not acceptable for an expensive vaccumm. Cordless vacuums are all the rage but I’m better off sticking to a power vacuum. I can’t imagine spending over $200 for a battery.

Update: Less than 1 year later :( I’ve had my vacuum for less than a year. Safe to say I wish I had a magic time-turner like Hermione had in order to go back and save myself the $400 I spent. I’ll update the pictures with what I now find myself dealing with - the sweet feature of the arm that bends so you can reach under beds and furniture? I don’t know if it’s faulty or just cheap - but it’s broken on not one, but both sides now. The battery power is still fine. Especially since I have to stop and clean out the head of it with a chopstick because everything gets clogged in it. I can’t vacuum up a cheese-it cracker without the thing getting clogged. The only way I can vacuum is if I sweep manically beforehand and use one of those pet-hair things on my carpets by hand. I guess it just wasn’t meant to stand the test of time. Or a house with pets, or kids, or people with hair. Maybe my household isn’t meant for a cordless stick vacuum - maybe it’s me, not you, Shark. But safe to say, it was a massive waste of money and I’m now back to buying a $100 corded vacuum cleaner and hoping there’s a replacement part for the arm of this thing so maybe I can still use it to tackle the downstairs hardwoods after I sweep? I’d save your money, shoppers. Old Review: Have you ever heard that anecdotal story about the man who couldn’t afford to buy the most expensive, longer-lasting boots so he had to repeatedly buy the cheaper boots? I come from a family where that is exactly what was done. We buy the $100 vacuum cleaner, have to replace it every year, and after 3-4 years of this, we could have bought a decent vacuum. So, I have to preface this with I am coming from owning a Dyson v8 that was a hand-me-down from my ex future mother-in-law. It was on its last leg when she so graciously gifted it to me, even moreso 5 years later. It finally died and rather than spend the $300-$400 on replacement parts and repair, I decided to treat myself. I just bought a house, I deserve a brand new vacuum to go with it. I have a 6 year old son, a 5 year old Saint Bernard, and 2 ambiguously aged felines. I needed suction, I needed power, but I also hate cords and different heads swapped out for different floor types. That’s what annoyed me with the Dyson the most. Not to mention the battery died after 10 minutes. So I stumbled upon this Shark with the display and I got the two batteries because I have a 2-story home built in 1907 with narrow, L-shaped stairs and full carpet upstairs with full, original hardwoods downstairs. Let me tell you: 1400 sq ft livable space with 50/50 carpets & hardwood, even on the full power, doesn’t run through a whole 60 minute battery. But I’m glad I got the two so I suggest you do the same. As far as suction: wow. The carpets upstairs .. I vacuum them weekly and I vacuum the hardwoods downstairs daily. After vacuuming with this vacuum, it was as if I had never vacuumed anywhere in this house since I bought it 3 months ago. It sucks up every fine, coarse, short, long, human, or animal hair that exists and NO not one wraps around the dual fin things that they advertise. On high power, I can vacuum the entire upstairs and still have battery left. Chef’s kiss. 10/10 on power/suction/fins or whatever. As far as the electric shock - I took a photo of the change they must’ve made to this new model - a little metal piece on the handle to ground you. I’ve been using this vacuum for a month on high power, medium pile carpet, and not once felt a shock. My 6 year old vacuums regularly and even with his tiny hands, can maneuver it and not be shocked. 10/10 no shock, except at what comes out of the dust bin. Overall, from a single mom with a hairy house, I’m grateful I took the leap and spent the $400 on this vacuum. It was well worth it. I have a feeling it will be durable and long-lasting as well, but I can always come back in 10 years as long as I and my vacuum survive any pending nuclear war or zombie apocalypse (which I have no doubt we will as I intend on using my vacuum as a weapon in that instance). Oh and I also used the different attachments to clean my car and the thing sucked up at least a large sized McDonald’s French fry which has been petrified and fossilized on they floor of my Nissan, thanks again to my 6 year old. Highly recommend.

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.
