Shark IZ462H

Verdict

The Shark Vertex IZ462H is a strong all-rounder with great hard-floor performance, outstanding hair handling, good carpet deep cleaning and one of the longest max-mode runtimes, plus generous bin capacity. Its main drawback is extra weight and only mid-pack suction numbers, making it ideal if you want long runtimes and pet-hair performance and can tolerate a heavier feel.
