Shark IZ662H Cordless Vertex Pro Lightweight Cordless Stick Vacuum with DuoClean PowerFins, Red

I’m in love with a vacuum
Buy it no matter what, that’s all I can say. When we purchased corded vacuums I got the Shark Navigator and haven’t gone back to any other corded brand. In choosing cordless though I always thought it was more of a gimmick than a true tool so I tended to buy cheap knock offs to just get pet hair from the floors and possibly something heavier like dirt. Anything else and the two cordless vacuums were so underpowered that I never believed it would come close to really cleaning up much at all. When our third cheap brand cordless died in less than a year, I thought I’d upscale to something that might last over a year. I took nearly a month researching brand after brand to find one that was both affordable, reliable and powerful enough for us. Ultimately I bought this Shark Vertex for the following reasons: 1) At $365 it was half the price of a Dyson. It was still twice as much as what I’d paid for cheap no name brands but I needed something that would actually last. While not cheap, I could afford it. 2) The problem with no name brands is that if one piece is lost or broken they don’t tend to sell parts for them. With this Shark I made sure that there were replacement parts for anything I might break, and there are. Any repairs down the line should cost tens of dollars from now on, not another $100-150 to buy another cheap cordless to throw away a few months later. 3) This thing is powerful. Wow. None of the other cordless vacuums I had really did much on carpet. The brush might grab some of the detritus on the rugs but it was a 50-50 crap shoot. As for pet hair, that was even worse. This Vertex is pretty incredible. On carpet mode I’m able to get it on my deep plush rug and get pet hair and anything else right off. You know it’s working when you can’t see anything on the rug but after you go over it there’s all this captured filth sitting in the container! Not only does the rotating head work really well (and especially the anti hair tangling feature) but the suction is very good. Obviously not as good as the corded but definitely good enough. We are alternating cord-cordless every weekend so that we get extra deep cleaning every other week. Battery power is impressive. We’ve done the two large rugs downstairs, the hard wood floors, the carpeted stairs and four carpeted bedrooms all one one charge-just. But that it’s able to do all of that is really impressive. Additionally you can also purchase another battery for $80 if you think you might runout if power.The “crack” feature which allows the handle to look like a broken arm and get to almost a 90 degree angle so that you can get under furniture is a pretty nifty feature. I thought it was a silly gimmick but I use it quite a bit. One thing that bothers me though is that the little toggle that releases the straight arm into the angle is a small plastic piece that I’m pretty sure I’m going to accidentally break off one day-need to check if THAT part is replaceable. Couple other things I didn’t like: There’s no wall mount but that’s probably because it’s heavy at nearly 10 lbs. Took a couple uses to get used to the new weight but once you get used to it, it’s definitely worth the trade off of some extra weight for extra power. The other thing is that the roller head is not only larger because of the dual rollers, but it’s pretty noisy on the carpet mode. Again, I think it’s a fair trade off to get a louder heavier roller head for much more effective cleaning power.All in all this vacuum is a keeper. The vacuum is warrantied for defects for up to 5 years! For normAl wear and tear of parts that need to be replaced, those items are available on the Shark store and on Amazon.

Light weight and easy and o use!!
I really like this product is versatile enough to be used on hard flooring, carpet, couches, car or more. To all the pet owners with hard flooring this work great for most pet situations. The functionality is as promised, powerful and easy to clean with a powerful suction, very practical to storage. I like the weight and feel of its overall. The battery life is not 40 mins if is used a full power, maybe 15mins but good enough for me. Very easy to clean the house and it has nice sharp look! I’m very happy with this purchase.

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.

After returning a ‘basic’ and then a ‘mid’ unit, I purchased the high-end machine. The first two did not have a removable battery, meaning that when the battery ultimately failed, I would either have to ship the entire unit for repair or trash it. Additionally, in order to complete 50-55 min. of floor vacuuming in one go, I require not one battery, but two. Why? First, because although advertised as a 60 minute battery, this only applies when the vacuum handheld; ie. not attached to the floor portion AND run on the lowest (eco) setting. The realistic charge length for this battery used to vacuum bare floors on mid-power is 40 minutes. Second, you should never run the battery down to zero charge, nor charge it completely. This decreases its lifetime. Running each battery from 80-20% charge is preferable, which means each battery should be used for no more than 30 minutes. Hence, 2 batteries are required to a 50-55 min. job.As others have warned, there’s a learning curve with respect to the various button placements, because they change when the vacuum is folded vs upright. So it’s easier than you think to release the dust cannister and drop it to the ground, when you intend to release the lock which unfolds the machine!My only concern with the Shark line is that models change so frequently that I doubt whether replacement batteries will be available in 4-5 years, when these finally expire.

El precio es elevado pero lo vale, tiene buena potencia y la duración de la batería es excelente.
