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

I had no idea how much disgusting stuff was lurking in my carpets being ignored by my ancient Monster of a vacuum. My friend & I were chatting one night, she recommended this Shark as she had an earlier model & loved it. I ordered it right then, and eagerly expected its arrival 2 days later. Got my tracking notification and discovered I'd actually ordered 2! Whoops, might've been the vodka... Anyhoo, it's a Mighty Mouse! Half the weight of the old Monster, 5x as effective, easy dirtcup emptying, and so low profile that I really don't need to use the flex feature, but it's cool too! Took a minute to get used to it being top-heavy (as opposed to the motor weight being on the floor with the Monster) but no biggie. Easy to switch between hard surfaces & carpet settings, 3 power levels, and excellent battery life. Having 2 batteries is a bonus, and the charging station is cool. The batteries charge quickly too. Told my friend I loved it, admitted I drunkenly ordered 2 & had to return the extra, but she volunteered to take it off my hands so now we both have brand new Mighty Mouses!

Very good vaccum. If you’re not used to a smart vacuum, some thing can throw you off. It is very strong so it you cannot use it on any flimsy throw rug. You cannot push items out of the way with vacuum, example; toys, it will just go over it and suck it up, very strong suction. I have a a bad back and it seems lightweight to me. Battery goes fast on super high mode but that isn’t even needed for regular daily use. Also mine has two batteries so I don’t worry about that.

For starters I LOVE this vacuum. I have owned it for nearly a year now before writing this review. I use it every day as I have a Great Dane with thyroid problems who sheds fur like it’s her job, and a toddler who is a crumbs on the couch queen. It is easy to clean and works very well! However, there is definitely an issue with the hinge system. About a month ago one of the plastic pieces inside the hinge caught and snapped while unlocking the vacuum for use. Would it be covered under warranty? Probably considering it was in no way an issue of user error, it’s absolutely defective. However, the warranty system of having to return the entire wand myself, have shark deem it defective and then send me a new wand would put me without a vacuum for wayyyy too long. I could just order a new wand for $50 (yes they have replacements!) but they’ve been out of stock since it has broken (hmmm, wonder why?). So it’s a bit of an annoyance. With care I can still unhinge the wand and use the vacuum with no issue, but it definitely does not function as intended and sticks/catches without the plastic ring that broke inside the hinge. If I were to buy another shark vacuum, it wouldn’t be the one with the hinging wand.

Had to replace an older DuoClean and landed on this one. I like the rubber fin on the second roller, vs a brush so that hair doesn’t get wrapped around it. It came with 2 batteries, each lasting about 60 minutes, so it’s nice to have a back up ready if you are doing a larger area or using higher power settings. Getting used to the bend feature on the handle. Makes it seem a little flimsy, but it is nice to get under lower furniture. Not a huge fan of the main handle, it’s bigger and longer than my older model. With the crevice attachment on it’s about 3 feet long, and almost awkward to handle. Easy to empty the trash, and everything clicks and in clicks smoothly. Wheels on the head are really smooth and roll easy. Has good power and suction so far. Has carpet and hard floor modes, and high, medium and low power settings. Like that the display gives you a battery percentage.

Satisfied. 2 dog family. Old cordless shark died after 3 years of heavy use. Worried this wouldn’t be as good. Pros: cordless, comes with 2 batteries, folds down for easy storage. Cons: the canister is at the top near the handle. Taller than most vacuums. And I’m 5’7”. A little awkward. But works great on hardwood and carpet.
