We review the Shark Vertex Cordless IZ462H. Tests are performed on carpet, hard floors, and hair. Comparisons are made to a host of other cordless vacuums. See the Vertex Cordless at Shark: sharkclean.sjv... or on Amazon: amzn.to/38juOpy

In this review we discuss the different models of the Shark Vertex Cordless vacuum cleaner and we walk through everything you get with your Shark Vertex model IZ462H - the one with the swappable battery.
We show the three tools and discuss each one: crevice tool, pet multi-tool and anti-allergen brush. We like that the tools click securely into place and will not fall off.
We show how the swappable (easily removable) battery works and how it can be charged both on and off the vacuum. In addition, we show the 3 charging lights on the side of the battery and discuss how they are useful. We also walk through all the vacuum controls, from carpet mode to bare floor mode, and the two power settings: standard and boost.
We performed run time tests in stick vacuum mode and we show two tables. The first table provides the manufacturers run times and the second table shows our tested run times. We walk through all the figures. We also highlight that you can always buy a second battery and double your run times (if you have the Vertex with the swappable battery). However it is lamentable that even if you buy the Vertex with the swappable battery you will only be provided one. If you want a second battery you will have to buy it.
The cleaner head on this unit has 2 brushrolls. One is soft and the other has fins and bristles. The soft brushroll can be removed completely for easy cleaning and a panel underneath the cleaner head can be removed to help clean the other brushroll and to deal with any potential clog.
We show 9 cordless vacuums and discuss the Vertex cordless weight as compared to these other machines. The Vertex was the heaviest of the bunch. However, despite the weight of the overall vacuum the handheld unit is a reasonable weight and is easy to wield.
The vacuum will not stand on its own but it can be leaned against a wall for storage purposes. However the MultiFLEX wand will double over 180 degrees which provides a configuration that allows the vacuum to stand on its own. In addition, the MultiFLEX wand, when bent 90 degrees, allows you to get under low furniture without having to stoop too much. We show all of these configurations.
Movement is reasonable. Not stellar but not too bad. It moves better on hard flooring than it does on carpet. The two brushrolls do pull the vacuum forward a bit which also results in a little more work on the pullback. But overall its not a big issue.
The dust canister is a bit on the small side and if you are doing large area cleaning you may find that you have to empty it often. It's fine for smaller area cleaning though.
The unit has 3 filters - 2 pre-motor filter and 1 post-motor filter. The post-motor filter is a HEPA filter. The unit also has a sealed system.
We performed a noise level test on the Vertex cordless and several other cordless vacuums. We show and discuss the noise level tests in a table. We also highlight the difference in noise level on the carpet and the bare floor.
We then undertook a host of cleaning tests. We created and placed debris on our low pile carpet and our tile floor and found that the Vertex did a great job. We compared pickup to our Dyson V10 Absolute.
The unit also performed well in our large debris test on carpet. In addition, we compared hair tangle on the Vertex brushroll to that of the Dyson V7. The Vertex brushroll is designed to limit hair tangle and it works. It isn't perfect but it does move most of the hair to the dust canister.
In a final test we ran the Vertex along our baseboards to see how close to an edge it would pickup. In this test the unit did not perform particularly well. It left about an inch long strip of unvacuumed area along the baseboards.
At the end of the video we provide a quick summary of what we have covered.
