Customer Ratings & Reviews

My all time FAVORITE vacuum ever! It has great power and suction and I love how you can adjust the height of the brush roll. Great vacuum

These are the best vacuums! Get it over a dyson if you have pets! The ability to release the cannister to go under furniture makes it as versatile as a cordless and the drive motor makes it super easy to clean carpet! It gets much deeper into carpet than our previous shark did and we loved that vacuum as well! It comes with a pet brush wand attachment that also has the powerfins and it does wonders!

I can't say enough good things about this vacuum! The suction power is absolutely incredible! I did a little experiment and let my Roomba vacuum my whole house. Then I vacuumed immediately after with my new Shark - Vertex DuoClean PowerFin and I was amazed at how much more dirt, dust and dog hair came out of my carpets! It is also excellent at cleaning hard tile as well. I love how you can set the vacuum to high pile, low pile or hard floors. This was the best vacuum I've ever owned, this beats out Dyson by far!!!

Pros: Definitely has a powerful suction. I do like that the on/off button is on the handle. Also, the switching from carpet to bare floors is also on the handle. The canister can easily be cleaned out. I’m happy with the product, it does the job. Cons: I will say this vacuum cleaner is a bit heavier than my last one. Pricey, but it does the job. Thankfully I got on sale.

I was originally looking for a vacuum stick, I needed something lightweight, good suction and that could vacuum my floors, I went on and got the shark pet plus, well it sucked! Suction was very weak, it cleaned but not worth 250 in my opinion. So I went on to exchange. I did so digging and I ran into this one, yes it’s wired but I read battery dies easily on those stick wireless ones, while I wanted lightweight I need something powerful. I have kids and I’m always cleaning so I wanted something worth my money. Got this on sale, next day went back to regular price. I LOVE LOVE LOVE. It’s not the lightest in weight…. but the suction is amazing! And it kinda just glides, and works on all floors. You can also detach the canister and use it as a stick for like tighter places. I am very pleased. I’m more traditional so I think wired is what works best for me. I can clean my entire house without needed to take a break to recharge.

First impression is very good. I had a Shark Navigator Liftaway from 2012 before this one, but needed an upgrade. We have mostly hard floors with a couple area rugs, and this vacuum is making a huge difference compared to our old shark. I love that the dust and crevice tools are on the base now, so they won't be falling off mid-vacuum. The cord is a lot longer than the older models, too. A huge plus. I love the adjustable speed/power for different surface types, it makes cleaning a breeze. So far, I'm happy with the new vacuum and hope it continues to perform above my expectations.

You guys!! This vacuum is incredible. First of all I’m going to start out by saying that not only is it beautiful but my jaw literally dropped when I used it for the first time, the canister was filled over over the Max line and I had vacuumed the day before with my old vacuum that was about to kick the bucket. It almost pulls itself when running and the upholstery tool is so powerful. It also has a flashlight which I loved for vacuuming under furniture or other darker areas. 10/10.

Plenty of suction power to suck up cat hair from three cats!

Hands down the only vacuum to ever get. I did research for 3 months before deciding on this one. 3 cats, 2 dogs, 2 babies makes for a messy house. We have used it on tile, hard wood, lvp and carpet. It's life changing. We have a 4500 sqft house, the only regret i have is not having one for each floor of the house. Sure, go watch all the youtubes and tiktoks. I've already done that. Buy this one.

Great improvement and more power. Floors clean on the first swipe.

- strong suction & dual rollers work great for picking up dog hair

This thing is incredible!! I had tried a few different vacuums but every time any hair on the carpet would get so wrapped up in the brush that it took forever to get it all out. I did our entire upstairs and there wasn't a single bit of hair on the PowerFin brush!!!!!! I am seriously so impressed. I love that it has enough power to where it just wants to go forward on it's own so it doesn't take so much manpower to push it back and forth. The lift-away option is top tier and perfect for cleaning the stairs or hard to reach places. Truly cannot say enough good things about this vacuum.

Powerful and versatile vacuum, it does an excellent job especially on carpet. Very happy with this purchase

The Shark Vertex replaces my 16 year old Dyson. I love the versatility and power of this vacuum. It is powerful! I also like the light on the front and I now see many areas of floor that I routinely missed. The lift away is great for cleaning in hard to reach areas and baseboards. The 3 levels of suckion works for carpets and throw rugs. And no hair wrap is great! So far I love this vacuum!

Have had this about a month now and am very pleased so far. It isn’t as light as my old Bissell and going from bags to canister is a learning curve, but the cleaning is phenomenally better. Multi surface was my main priority and cleaning the stairs, both of which have shocked me with how good they are! The unit is self propelled in a way that it will pull you hard, but I like that since my old vacuum had to be pushed hard over the rugs and wore me out. I love that the canister lifts off and I love the ‘pet hair’ attachment even though I don’t have a pet. It cleans every crumb off the stairs from kids and being able to go from high pile shag rug to carpet to kitchen floor with a simple button is outstanding. The cord seems longer than most also, which is an under appreciated value add. The suction level is also great and I recently was able to fully clean out my dryer vent (after removing the cover) which I wasn’t able to fully do with my Bissell. Overall I’m very pleased and really looking forward to the peace of mind of less unknown dust in my house.

I decided to replaced my Dyson with a Shark. I was worried that I would be disappointed, but I’m only disappointed I didn’t switch years ago. The duo clean is phenomenal at cleaning our hard floors and carpet both. The airflow on this machine is incredible! Also the build quality of this seems better than the Dyson. There are a few things I don’t like though. 1. The hose can be hard to use for extended use. Yes, you can use lift away but when cleaning lots of above ground area I don’t want to carry the machine everywhere. 2. The bin is to small. This machine picks up tons of dirt and you’ll constantly be emptying. 3. On carpet the machine works great but it can get tiring to use as it pulls against you. With that said, the pros far out way those three cons and I would recommend this machine to anyone looking for a powerful corded vacuum.

Very powerful. I love how it cleans the wood floors so good and then right on to the carpet. The hairs don't wrap around the roller like other vacuum cleaners. It's easy to empty right into the trash can. You can take the canister off with the push of a button and then easily clean under the bed. Worth the money.

After not being able to vacuum the carpet after moving due to only having a hard-floor vacuum, I can safely say that the heavy-carpet/rug option works to digging into the carpet and pulling up dust and debris. It also works as a hard floor vacuum, effectively making my old vacuum useless. Assembling the vacuum was easy with the quick start-up instructions and necessary to fully use the capability of the vacuum (as you're probably unplugging everything to dusting out the ceiling). Price range (at the time of purchase, it was $250) was a bit much considering that some competing brands for the same price range can be a wet/dry vac (this is only dry); but at the time of wanting an upgrade, it was a good purchase made. Most replacement parts are available in the Shark website (filters, the decorative shield, the decorative logo, etc), but some third party parts are also available in the open market for a fraction of the cost (e.g. filters). If anything, I wished it could take a bit more liquid than nothing.

I absolutely LOVE this vacuum! A friend suggested we buy it since we were researching new vacuums for our new home. She named all the good things about it, so why not!? When I tell you I will NEVER buy another brand of vacuum again, I mean I will NEVER do it. This is the most amazing thing I have ever used. I have hardwood and short carpet in my home and the fact that I can interchange between the 2 options while it is running is a Godsend. The suction is like nothing I have ever seen or felt before. The vacuum literally pulls itself. The bristles are really self cleaning, it is easy to empty out the “trash compartment”, the wand and other accessories are easy to use, I LOVE the fact that I just put my foot on the head and it tilts back, and it picks up so much. If I had to “complain” about anything it would be that I would love a cord that wraps up inside the vacuum with a push of a button because I’m not a fan of wrapping it myself, but that isn’t even really all that bad. Honestly, if you’re searching for something that does it all then this is for you! You won’t regret it, I know I sure don’t.

It is easy to use and it's great for carpet and hardwood floors!
