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

I love the cordless feature and with an additional battery will look forward to using it for light cleanups. I’ll still need my heavy duty, yet cumbersome, vacuum for the deep cleaning when necessary. I like the flexible stem for reaching under furniture and the detachable hand vac for the stairs. This is just what I needed.

The middle bendy part breaks easily. Replaced by customer service and breaks again. It can handle being used. We just duck taped it and use it without bending anymore.

I ordered this vacuum and after a few uses, the vertex stick broke and wouldnt allow the vacuum to be unfolded in order to actually use it. I called shark ninja and they were mostly helpful. It was about $60 to get a new one as its not a covered part in their warranty. the power is decent for a cordless stick vacuum but the selling point for me is that i can fold this vacuum up and store it under a cabinet. thats something i cant do with my giant kirby

*SUMMARY: IF YOU HAVE LONG-HAIR DOGS ITS TRULY TANGLE FREE! WORKS WELL ON THICK RUGS BUT FOR FULL PRICE THE SUCTION IS TOO WEAK* Let me start by saying I have a husky who sheds A LOT. I have to sweep my house twice a day just to keep up with her hair shedding, if not it’s in piles around the edges of the house. Every vacuum that claims to be “tangle free” or “made for pets” are crap and hair gets tangled with every use. I was very skeptical this vacuum was actually tangle free (bc it does have bristles! Not just fins like the photos show) but to my surprise- NOT ONE HAIR has gotten tangled in the roller after weeks of use!! (See pictures) Got this vacuum for like 40% off during Black Friday deals. I think it was absolutely worth what I paid- but almost $300 full price is a bit much in my opinion bc it’s not that strong. Ive had much stronger for $150. But for what I paid, I’m very happy with the quality of the product, how lightweight it is, ease of use, battery life, & most importantly that it’s truly tangle free w/ pet hair. That alone makes it worth it for me. ** Things to know: 1. Truly is TANGLE FREE for pet hair (yay!!) only part that gets hairs stuck are the tiny wheels on the corners (see pic) but it doesn’t affect the functionality of the vacuum whatsoever. 2. Its very lightweight- I am 9 months pregnant & have problems with my blood pressure going up w/ little activity & have to be careful. I can easily pick this up & vacuum my couch with it or my rugs w/ no problem. 3. It’s LOUD - low setting isn’t too bad, but high setting needed for carpet/rugs is obnoxious & sounds like a leaf blower. For what I paid, doesn’t bother me. 4. It’s very top heavy & cannot stand on its own - but that should be expected with any brand of vacuum that is this lightweight cordless style. It can lean against the couch or wall (see pic) just fine. 5. Too weak with attachments- I wanted to use this to vacuum my car but the low setting or even high are too weak with the attachments & do a very poor job getting crumbs, dirt & pet hair out of thin vehicle carpet. It got the majority of dirt, but the pet hair & crumbs in the crevices couldn’t be sucked up because the suction is so weak. But when it comes to vacuuming crumbs & hair off my couch, it’s so lightweight I just pick up the vacuum and use it on the couch as if it’s the floor and the rollers get everything up no problem. Won’t be using the attachments much though. 5. Actually does well with thick carpet/rugs - my sons nursery has a very thick shag rug (see pic) that’s almost 3” thick. The vacuum is not anywhere strong enough to pull itself forward on the carpet, but if lean it back a little and use just a little muscle it glides easily across the thick rug (Again I’m 9 mo preggo and I can do this no problem). The rollers get deep into the rug and get about every trace of dirt and hair. 6. Rechargeable battery is nice & imo gives plenty of run time- I get about 40 minutes of use in my mostly hardwood home, during which I have it on high for almost half the time vacuuming thick rugs and my couch.

Had this over a yr holds a good charge and no issues. Not as powerful as electric for carpet but gets the job done. Love the easy cordless feastire

We were excited to have a cordless stick vacuum with 2 batteries but after about 10 months it started losing suction, stopped spinning, spit out crumbs etc. Very disappointing considering the price!

I had a Dyson V6 for a few years and absolutely loved it. I purchased one of those off brands form Amazon for approx $200. It worked well enough but crapped out after just more than a year. I found this one on sale on Amazon and it was almost $300. To be honest, the random vacuum performed just as good (maybe a little better). Lets just hope it lasts longer. Having said all of that it very adequate but dont expect a Dyson. Even the V6 out performed this, but I just couldnt see myself paying nearly $500 for a Dyson. The suction is good but only if you hold the extra power trigger which runs the battery down pretty fast. I have a couple Labs and it gets up the dog hair. Nearly every time I vacuum it fills up, and i vacuum almost everyday. I use it on our rugs and mostly hard floors. Id give it 3 and half stars if I could... but dont mind giving the extra half star because of the accessories.

I hesitated justifying spending this much money but bit the bullet. I am so happy I did. I live out in the country where there is constant dust or mud depending on weather and also have three dogs in house. One is long haired. The suction was impressive and easy to operate and to dismantle to attach other devices to reach different areas. I could clean easily behind t.v. and by the toilets. I love the flex so i can go underneather funiture where I couldnt reach before. Also the container is a nice size to accumilate so I am not always emptying the bin. I love how I dont have to mess with the cord which is bonus. Easy to store with the flex and doesnt take much room up. Overall so happy I made my life easier and cleaner with this vaccum. It came with batteries, a charger, and other devices to attach and detach depending what you want to clean. Now I have something also to clean my inside of car and dont have to drive to a carwash for a vaccum. Overall very happy! Also forgot its nice and light. If there is cobwebs on cieling I can reach them with ease.

Love the ease of using this - wish I had bought one a long time ago! Because its a Shark, I know that its doing a great job! I feel like my house is SO MUCH CLEANER with this around - easy to grab and go for a quick touch up. Love that I can transition from hard floor to low carpet with switching a button and you can hear and see the power it has! Love the light on the front - helps me see what Im cleaning up! The broom and dustpan ARE GONE! I realize now how much dirt and dust and dog hair they were leaving behind. (yuck the first time I used the Shark and the light showed me all that - AND I CLEAN, but it didnt look like it THAT day.) 10 stars for me!

Love the cordless feature and the ability to have the upright tube bend to get under couches/beds. I am very impressed how much dirt it pulls out of carpets. Rating could have been higher but have not had it very long.
