Shark Cordless Vertex Pro Powered Lift-Away vs Shark Vertex

While you can't adjust its brushroll height to accommodate for very shaggy carpeting, it still performs amazingly well on low and high-pile rugs. Like most of Shark's other upright vacuums, it uses the brand's 'Lift-Away' design, which allows you to pick up and carry its canister body with one hand while cleaning hard-to-reach areas with its wand and hose. Using it in its most powerful suction mode can drain its battery in as little as 10 minutes, so you need to work quickly when vacuuming stubborn debris, though running it in its 'ECO' mode does extend its runtime drastically.

The final pro before we move on to the cons is the way that it handles. It was very smooth on hard floors and carpet and very easy to maneuver, especi...

Note that the suction from the wand, is very low. I have a hand vac I use instead for crevices, ridiculous, I knowww. It’s not worth the high cost. My apartment is wood floor throughout with a couple rugs

But the vertex appears to have a newly designed anti-hair wrap system which is even better than the previous ones. But i can't tell you exactly how it...

Suction power does not compare at all with shark corded, and that is what I am gonna buy again, a corded shark. Also, using on the stronger suction mode ( definitely needed for carpet) will give you only 10 minutes running time. Maybe in a few years I will give it a shot again on the cordless, hopefully power and battery life will improve!!

This vacuum sucks up everything!! Even cords you're trying to vacuum around. But once you know it's fine, it just takes a little extra work to pick them up before destroying them. The battery life is very good. On the 2nd setting it easily lasts well over 30 minutes of hard floor and carpet vacuuming

For my once-in-a-blue-moon cleaning, I'll stick with my much better 30-year old Miele -- more suction, much better for baseboards, etc., etc. And, by the way, at least on mine, the battery indicator doesn't work. If you are using it at maximum, it just goes dead after about 15 minutes

Our Shark Vertex is broken (I think it's the bearings in the roller) and I will not spend $100 to replace a head that will likely do the same thing in another year. I will be purchasing a Miele or Sebo from a local vacuum/sewing store.

The lights are bright, emptying the bin is easy, the cleaner is quiet, it is easy to change the speeds, it picks up quite large pieces, cleans more than adequately and the battery comes out (easily) to charge anywhere you like (worktop, floor etc.) in its own charging unit, so you don't have to store the vacuum near a charging point. Charging from 10% takes up to 3.5 hours

The dust bin is simple to remove and clean out and no vacuum bag is needed. This vacuum is definitely doing a great job of keeping my home clean and tidy.

Things I prefer vs a Dyson: - The battery is removable and docks into a charger rather than docking the entire vacuum. - The motor and dust bin are lower to the ground. The is much better ergonomically than a dyson that puts the weight of the motor right by your hand. - the rollers never get hair stuck in them

It's likely not a popular one with enthusiasts, but you might read some reviews on the Shark Apex DuoClean or the Shark Vertex DuoClean- the corded models with the keyword being the DuoClean head design. Right around your price range and I have seen some good reviews with tests for the situation you are describing. I believe all Sharks have a 5yr warranty too. They also have cordless models, but I have not read anything on them

Overall, I'm very pleased. The battery life is 'okay' or competitive with most other cordless vacuums, but shocked me was the noise. This vacuum is VERY loud and almost sounds broken when it is running (I ended up looking at the head to see if something was wrong as it was that loud)

I like the eco to boost power modes as well for different types of situations where you need more power. It is easy to maneuver and flexes enough to get underneath the hard to get areas underneath furniture. I am totally OCD and vacuum every day to pickup pet fur on our dark wood floors and carpet so I am very happy with this product. I love the HEPA filtration system and all of the handheld attachments it comes with

It’s constantly getting clogged or I have to constantly clean the brush roller. Right now, I’m looking at the cordless Shark Vertex.

Hepa filter is fantastic. The digital screen allows you to choose flooring type and strength of suction. Would highly recommend.

Upon unboxing and initial inspection you can tell it had been previously owned but was well cleaned. Everything worked perfect. The round foam filter was clean but stained/discolored and the HEPA filter was not there. I would still recommend but maybe have back up filters too
