Shark - Vertex UltraLight DuoClean PowerFins Corded Stick Vacuum with Self-Cleaning Brushroll - Colbalt Blue

I think I'm in love. We have an older Shark Rocket stick vac that is probably 10 yrs old. Over the years we've lost this attachment or that attachment so some versatility is lost, and it has a bristle roller head so it gets all matted up and you have to cut stuff off- basically a huge pain in a house with women, 2 shorthair cats, and a short hair dog. The pets shed, you just don't see it ......until now! It still does a good job for being a 10 yr old vacuum. I got this new stick vac today, and it's basically the same one we have, but w/attachments, a better motor, its lighter, has a longer cord, a different head with no bristles...and a warranty (not that I think ill need it based on the other one still kicking around). Here's the point of this mini-monologue. I used the new vac a few minutes ago on the carpeted stairs coming down to the basement, about 12 steps, short pile carpet. It's an open stairwell so stuff collects from the front door next to it and everywhere else and ends up getting tracked down the steps. I vacuumed yesterday with the old Shark vac. I had no attachment other than the top part and the tube so I did the best I could, but got them pretty clean- better than they were. I hooked up the new vac and just used the handle end and one of the small heads, and the crevasse tool. I knew I'd pick up stuff that I missed yesterday but holy crap.....and, if you are wondering, Sharks rotating fins instead of a brush are amazeballs. No hair on the roller at all. None. We have a 10 yr old full-size Dyson that we got used that doesn't pick up this well. It's pricey, but I'm partially disabled, and bending, squatting, and even standing and moving around on some days is literally a show-stopper that I pay for later or the next day. I have to economize my motion and save it up for the good days when I can be motivated AND mobile. This vacuum is heaver with the full head attached than our other Shark, but the motor end isn't that much different in weight, and the aluminum tubing actually seems lighter than the plastic on my other one. Once I get the optional 2 ft mini hose to connect to the motor I'm going to be golden. This vacuum will allow me to clean twice as much in the same time frame (an estimate if you will). That makes it worth it, to me.

Purchased the same time as a complete garbage Dyson model. I needed something light and easy my 7, 6 and 4 year old could use (they always want to vacuum) and also one I can use easily between and during a two part ACL revision surgery (woo hoo washed up athletes!) For what I was looking for for our specific needs, this thing is GOLDEN. No it won’t clean up after our Saint Bernard’s shedding blowouts, but that’s not why we purchased it. My 4 year old hasn’t stopped vacuuming since I bought it July 1st. It’s great for steps and quick hard floors and area rugs. Very happy with it. I can’t give 5 stars for value yet because I do think it’s a bit pricey but if it lasts a year with a lot of abuse, I’ll change to 5!

This is an awesome vacuum. Its lightweight and has enough power. I have used used on carpet as well as hardwood and it impresses every time. The carpet becomes fluffy after use and it pulls out a bunch of dust. For me, the best part is that the brush roll is self cleaning. No tangles. The accessories are nice and easy to use. The cord is long. Reaches every corner of my 700sqft 1st floor when plugged centrally. super flexible and slides under tables and sofas. The brushroll has an array of tiny LEDs that help see the dust. The vacuum has 2 mode switches on the top. Definitely a solid purchase.

Is amazing the suction of this beauty; I gave 4 * because it is a little heavy...ok I was using the cheapest Bissel vacuum, and after using the vacuum I used Lola Rola Sticky Mop™ w/ extender handle to lift all the hair on the carpet. With this vacuum Shark, good bye roll; also, this vacuum has a lot of accesories and a really good ones.

I love this vacuum! Very strong , and amazing a picking up hair. It places hair (long hair) in a cone like metal net that allows you to remove the hair easily when emptying the collected dirt. I highly recommend this to everyone! I’ve had it for 2 years now and it’s still working great

This shark Vertex ultra light duo clean is good, i have problems with my two shoulders and my back and i have hardwood floors throughout the house and sweeping for me is painful especially to clean under the tables and beds it is impossible for me but finally I was able to do it thanks to this vacuum Shark Vertex that I just bought, I was able to remove all the accumulated dust from under my beds and tables, this vacuum is very powerful, easy to handle, light and easy to empty the vacuum, I also use it in my car , I hope it lasts because the price is not cheap, I recommend it

Very light yet still powerful enough to do the job. It fits under furniture very well reducing the need to move around stuff while cleaning. It is also detachable for multipurpose use.

Cons: attachments do not stay on the holder. Pros: suction is good, hairs don’t get caught in brushes, less noisy than most, easy to dispose of dirt, and fair price.
