Shark IZ462H Vertex Ultra Lightweight Anti-Allergen Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum with DuoClean PowerFins, Crevice, Pet Multi-Tool, Anti-Allergen, Brush, Removable Handheld, Flex, 60 min runtime, Blue

I'll start off by saying I was really, REALLY looking forward to this vacuum. I watched multiple video reviews about this vacuum and the "DouClean" tech, and I thought it seemed simply amazing, genius even, and figured it would be the best vacuum in the world. However, I quickly found there was one MAJOR flaw with this vacuum that completely ruins the whole thing: static shock.The static electricity buildup in the vacuum is immensely amplified due to the soft roller in the DouClean tech and there is no proper dispersion of this static electricity, leaving your hand to get shocked every few seconds when using it. The shocks seem to get stronger and stronger as well and by the 4th or 5th time this happened to me in a row, after just a few minutes of vacuuming, I was genuinely scared to use it any longer. My girlfriend wouldn't even touch the thing after getting shocked just once.So I stopped for a while, tried to charge it hoping that would ground it or something and get rid of the problem, but after multiple tries I just could not get the thing to stop shocking me. There is a tiny metal plate in the handle as well which is supposed to help with the static dispersion by keeping you grounded, but the thing is a complete joke. The plate is so tiny that 2 fingers will barely even fit on it at the same time and it is so flush with the handle that you have to hold it with a strong grip just to keep your fingers on it, making it almost stressful to vacuum knowing that as soon as you lift a finger you'll get shocked. Then even when your fingers are on the plate firmly, it will still shock you from time to time! If the plate was like three times as long, twice as wide, and protruded from the handle like a fourth of an inch or so, it might not have been completely useless.I see this flaw as a MAJOR oversight, which could even end up causing a health problem for someone. The shocks hurt after just a few times, and they make using the vacuum incredibly uncomfortable and stressful. Like I said, I was really looking forward to this vacuum, and the DouClean tech and hair wrap removal fins did really seem to work wonderfully, but I just don't want to be in fear of getting shocked constantly while using this. I was incredibly disappointed and sad this had such a major flaw. If they ever make a new model or a change that fixes this issue, I would definitely try it again. But until then, I cannot recommend this vacuum to anyone.

I wanted this vacuum so badly, and was so disappointed when I finally got it because of the static elasticity shocks when using on carpeting. The metal grounding plate is way too small, and it turns out that my hand was coming ever so slightly off of it when I was vacuuming, so I was getting shocked all the time. It was awful and I almost returned it.BUT, then I switched the way I hold the handle, my wrist placement, so the flat part of my middle finger was on constant contact with the grounding plate (not the side of my finger like before, which caused disconnection issues), & the problem is completely solved.l! Love this vacuum.

Long-haired dogs with a minimum of three to four walks a day, do bring in debris. My home is constantly in need of vacuuming. Being a senior, my old heavy machine was becoming unwieldy. The shape of one of the tools was also too wide to get into tight crevices.With the Shark IZ462H, if there is any bits and pieces that have been brought in from the dog walk, I simply reach for the hand held section and instantly the mess is gone. I use it now to clean up the fallen flowers on my back porch and even remove the stamens from lilies without risking staining. Engaging the extra force button facilitates this.Nor can I believe how long the battery lasts. It is also relatively quiet. This is an amazing vacuum that stores so easily too. The clear dust container allows you to see how effective it in action. I love having my home once again looking its best.

Pros:- Less noisy than most other cheaper vacuums.- Headlight lets you see all the dirtiness.- Good battery life and it's removable.- Easy stand by itself and on the wall thanks to the flex and rubber on the handle.- Duo brushes help clean a tad easier without worries of hair entanglement.- Simple yet complete accessories.Cons:- A bit heavy.- Mostly in winter you will get static charge due to the rolling brushes on the hard floor and it will shock on the fingers at the grip of the handle. So sometimes I have to wear a glove when vacuuming.

Assuming you can pick this vacuum up on sale for <$400, I consider it the best in its class in terms of overall usefulness and value.Pros:- light weight- extremely maneuverable( especially for under beds, desks, etc.)- makes easy work of small to medium sized spaces- enables great cleaning at night due to the built in lights- the duo clean brush heads make cleaning hardwood, tile, laminate and very low carpets a breeze- moderate to good clean time when ran on low power setting- multiple cleaning head attachments make getting into any groove or awkward space easy- its small enough and compact enough to be stored anywhere you need it due to its folding capability- the detachable battery allows for charging to be done anywhere and alleviates the need to lug the main body to an outlet- the rollers can be accessed very easily if maintenance is neededCons:- overpriced and under powered if bought for too much and not on sale- struggles with longer carpets and requires far too much power to be effective- battery life is good, but gets used up very quickly when on the higher setting or when frequently using the 'turbo' boost- the collection canister could be larger- the battery takes a very long time to recharge when fully depleted- it's kind of loud 😅
