Critics loved the Shark Vertex Lightweight Cordless vacuum, recommending for bare floors, stairs, and cars. They praised its HEPA filtration system, bendable MultiFLEX wand, and large dirt compartment.

Testers were also impressed by its performance on hard floors. However, they bemoaned its high noise rating and so-s- performance on carpets.

What the brand doesn’t always tell you…

our Verdict

Product testers applauded the Shark Vertex Lightweight Cordless vacuum and recommended it for bare floors, stairs, and vehicles. Reviewers from Tech Radar hailed the 0.7L dirt compartment and moderately-sized 9.15-lb construction.

However, if you desire an, even more, portable handheld device, check out our Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ review. The Vertex produced 0.51 kPa of suction during tests, removing an astounding 100% of the pet hair on bare floors and 93% on high-pile carpets.

Analysts from Wired praised its good maneuverability and bendable MultiFLEX wand. This vacuum removed 96% of the large debris on bare floors and 80% on low-pile carpets.

See the Shark Rocket Pet Pro with MultiFlex IZ163H review for a more effective vacuum on carpets. Air quality tests revealed that the HEPA air filter on this model keeps small particles in check.

However, testers were disappointed with its high 83.2 dBA noise rating. If you need a quieter vacuum, check out the Shark ION W1 WANDVAC review. Additionally, they criticized its average 38-minute battery life.
