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

As a disclaimer, our home is 1700ft2, and about 2/3 of it is carpeted. The vacuum works phenomenal on the regular carpeting and hardwood in the house, but struggles a little bit with the wool area rug. The variety of ways this vacuum can be assembled makes it extremely versatile. For example, using the regular brush roll head while removing the extension works wonders on the carpeted stairs. The short "handheld" version with the scraper does great on the couch. And the extension, with the small ended nozzle, works great for after the initial vacuuming, getting all the dirt along the edges of the rooms and furniture. It lays down almost flat, so getting under things like the dog food bowls, the couch, the dining room table etc are a breeze. So the reason I made the title the way it is, is related to battery life. To realistically clean our first floor (mostly hardwood/tile + wool rug) and the second floor (totally carpeted) will eat up the entire battery. The battery is NOT fast to charge. The runtime is based I believe on the vacuum running in "handheld mode" (aka without the brush head). So, if you're home is over 1500ft2 and mostly carpeted, you're going to have to throw it on the charger for a while most likely. I think it would greatly benefit Shark to come up with swappable batteries, think Milwaukee or DeWalt style. If you're handy you can do this yourself, but it would greatly benefit the company to have a proprietary design for this. Another con, though I hesitate to call it a con based on the portability of this vacuum, is the power. As mentioned, it does great on our regular carpeting, but just isn't as good as the corded Shark we've had for almost 10 years. This is to be expected as the motor in the corded vac draws significantly more power than the cordless battery version, but still worth mentioning. The vacuum is very light and easy to use. The blue light on the front of the roller head is AWESOME, and will show every spec of dirt on any uncarpeted surface. Overall, for the sale price we got it at (I want to say between $175-225, can't remember exactly) it has been excellent. Just keep in mind how much you're going to want to run it at once, as if you're living space is too big, you will have to take long breaks to recharge the vacuum.

We have a bunch of large door floor mats in front of several doors in the house, plus some walkway doorways that collect dirt and lint balls on the carpet. Always a big project getting out the canister vacuum, hose, and carpet floor unit to vacuum, so they don't get vacuumed as often as they should. A few weeks ago I'm walking out of a local large grocery store and see one of this model of Shark stick vacuum being used on their entry doorway floor mat. I took a look and remembered "Rocket" on the carpet unit, then tracked the stick vac down here and at a big box home store. What really caught my attention was the clear plastic "catch bin" at the top! Seemed like exactly the right thing in the right place, and clear so I could see what was being picked up. Well yep, having bought one, it works even better than expected! The various comments here, before I bought, said you have to pull the "high suction" trigger to get sufficient power on carpets, and that drains the battery faster. BOTH TRUE, BUT WHEN YOU DO THAT THIS THING SUCKS LIKE CRAZY! I'm impressed with what was in the catch bin and what I could see coming up from the carpets and mats. Small bits like cat litter, large bits of stuff, lint, hairs, everything on the mats and rug walkways. I vacuumed two carpet areas in in doorways between rooms that always accumulate a lot of dirt. Then vacuumed 3 of the door mats. Then vacuumed part of a sunroom carpet where a bunch of cats live. Even on the "high suction" the battery was only 2/3 gone after all that (there are 3 LEDs that tell you charge/discharge level) but I stopped because it looked like the catch bin might be full. This was first use and I wasn't sure. Yep, completely full, and that is a large bin! One thing: INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT CLEAR THAT THE CATCH BIN EMPTIES WITH A TRAP DOOR ON ITS BOTTOM, WHEN YOU PRESS THE EMPTY LEVER. SO IT WILL DUMP RIGHT INTO YOUR LAP IF YOU DON'T KNOW THAT UPFRONT, LIKE HAPPENED TO ME. :) Luckily it was close enough to my lap that the suddenly-open trap door hit my leg and only opened about an inch, limiting how much came out until I could move it and me to the trash can. :) Knowing how it works now, I just hold it over the trash can then trigger the bottom door release. Which is really great, you don't have to turn the catch bin upside down and shake or such. There isn't a printed set of "word" instructions with the unit, it is one of those picture instruction pamphlets. For the most part that works, as in: assemble the stick pipe into the floor unit, then the vacuum head onto the stick pipe. There apparently is a QR code on the top than can be scanned for more instructions. Pro tip: the inside of the catch bin will be dusty after you empty. I used a "computer air" spray can (for PC keyboards and such) to blow out the inside and top. There is no way to get the unit to self-stand that I've found, for storage, as other comments here have noted. I found two cabinets with a space between them wide enough to set this unit in upright. Done! Even has a plug nearby for the charger. Those LEDs near the "suction trigger" show you how the charging is coming along. 3 of them that light in sequence as it charges, then they all go off when completely charged. Charges reasonably fast. At a local big box home store I saw this unit in person, plus a whole bunch of other brands and models. Yep, I "showroomed" then ordered here for $30 less. :/ None of the brands and models had that nice, large, clear catch bin at the top back like this one has. Several brands had black or opaque catch bins and they were located in odd places. Why? To make sure I won't be able to see how full it is getting? Guys! :) This vacuum is great, for what it is, a quick and fairly powerful unit to quickly clean floor mats, doorways, and other small areas. Probably not the ideal thing for your entire living room rug, although could do it with a few re-charges and catch bin empties. Summary: just buy it already! :) A+++++

Buy this vacuum if you want to see how dirty your house actually is. The blue light on the front of the brush unit sits right above floor level, and it illuminates dust and dirt you never even knew was there. It was honestly a bit of an awakening—I genuinely thought my floors were clean! Now, I use it every night to sweep through the kitchen. It’s so lightweight, quick, and effortless to grab. Unlike other vacuums that just push debris around, this one actually picks everything right up. A few key highlights that make it great: The Blue Light: Makes every hidden particle visible so you can see exactly what you're doing. Great Battery Life: I only need to charge it about once every 5 days with my nightly routine. Low Maintenance: It’s easy to clean out, and there are no recurring costs for bags or filters to keep buying. Hands down my new favorite vacuum!

I bought this vacuum for my townhouse, which is mostly tile and not very large, and overall I’ve been happy with it. It works especially well as a secondary vacuum or for smaller spaces, but I wouldn’t recommend it as the only vacuum for a larger home or for homes with a lot of carpet. On tile floors, the battery life is solid and the suction performs well. However, on carpet the vacuum automatically increases suction power, which drains the battery much faster. The vacuum is lightweight, compact, and easy to maneuver, and the Reveal feature works really well. It also does a good job picking up dirt and debris from hard floors. My main complaint is storage. Even though it’s compact, it doesn’t stand upright on its own, comes apart into several pieces, and the battery needs to stay connected to an outlet for charging, which makes storing it a little inconvenient. Overall, it’s a good vacuum for smaller homes or as a supplemental vacuum, especially if you primarily have tile floors.

I wanted to like this vacuum but I can't. I've had an upright Navigator for years and I love it, but I wanted something more portable. Pros: The runtime at a full charge was about 50 minutes. I really like the design of the roller on the power brush, and it did a great job on my 8x10 area rug. The light is good as well. It picked up pet hair easily and was great for edging the floorboards. It breaks down easily for storage, and you don't have to hang it on a wall to charge. Cons: It's heavier than I expected. The dust cup is small and had to be emptied several times. The dust cup did NOT release the pet hair, and I had to manually pull it out of the cup, as well as the inlet .. gross. There is little to no rotation connecting the brush head, so it was impossible to get into tight spaces. It did a good job on my "stick on" stair treads, but it will EAT your throw rugs. It does not stand on it's own. The vacuum came in a plain cardboard box with an ink drawing of the vacuum, which I found odd. This is not the box you will see in a department store, which makes me think I received a refurbished item. It also came without the upholstery brush. I will be returning this vacuum. I bought it through Prime Day for $199. If I had paid $350 would be livid.

The Shark Cordless Vertex Pro is an excellent vacuum cleaner. It picks up hair, cat litter, and pretty much everything else. It moves seamlessly from carpet to tile, to hardwood with ease. I love the easy empty system and no filters that clog with dirt. It is quiet and I love the adjustable suction power. The battery life is as advertised which is great. I clean a lot and this vacuum has made it so easy. Highly recommend

I love this vacuum. Holds a charge for a long time. It great at pet hair pick up, as a matter of fact you only have to be near the hair and it sucks it in. Easy to clean and my favorite part is no cord. My only complaint is the it is top heavy, so difficult to keep it from falling over when leaning against a wall. I figured out that if I remove the top part, the heavy part, from the rest of the vacuum, I can lean both against a wall. Then just put it back together, which is very easy, and continue my cleaning. I highly recommend this vacuum.

This thing weighs nothing and it does so by not having many parts, or heavy parts. It will not feel like an heirloom and if you are used to an all-metal 1970s Hoover you will be disappointed. It's unlikely to last 40 years anyway. However, suction is very good, the anti-clog rotating head does a great job not fouling up with pet hair, the light weight makes it more likely to actually see use, and with an adapter you can run Milwaukee batteries on your Shark vac. The 8 Ah Milwaukee battery feels like hauling a cinder block around but it should provide several hours of run time. If you don't have carpets, a pet Samquanch, or some combination thereof this may work as your only vacuum. With pets and mixed flooring this will do very nicely and very practically for every day stuff, and the corded vac only needs to come out if something hits the fan. The plasticky feel takes a little while to overcome, but there's a reason this feels like cheap plastic: it's cheap plastic. Another drawback: you have to pull off the head piece to empty the bin, or to get the vacuum to stow away upright. You can neither empty it nor get it to stand upright on its own if it is intact. Whoever thought that was a good idea should be in jail. Still strongly recommended. Buy it on sale.

Although powerful, it only runs for around 15 minutes, if you are lucky and, I thought it would run on power as well like a mobile phone but, it does not. It is a waste of money.

Buenísima la recomiendo

Je suis extrêmement satisfait(e) de cet aspirateur Shark Pet. La puissance d'aspiration est impressionnante et il ramasse les poils de mon animal, la poussière et les débris en un seul passage. Il est facile à manœuvrer, relativement léger et les accessoires inclus sont très pratiques pour les meubles, les escaliers et les endroits difficiles d'accès. Le bac se vide facilement et l'entretien est simple. Depuis que je l'utilise, mes planchers et mes tapis sont beaucoup plus propres. C'est un excellent achat et je le recommande sans hésiter à tous les propriétaires d'animaux.

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!

La aspiradora como tal es una excelente compra. La duración de la batería a toda potencia es de 20 min aproximadamente; en el nivel intermedio la batería dura 50 minutos aproximadamente (cosa que es normal en estos dispositivos inalámbricos). Tengo dos perros de pelo largo y la aspiradora puede con eso, polvo, tierra y demás, usarla y guardarla es bastante sencillo. La única queja que puedo poner es que en la publicación en la primer imagen podemos ver la aspiradora y 4 aditamentos para diferentes modos de limpieza (la base de los rodillos, "Crevice tool", "Anti-Allergen Dustin Brush" y "Pet Multi-Tool"), el paquete que me enviaron solamente incluía la base de los rodillos y el Crevice tool.
