Shark - IZ202 Cordless Vacuum with Self-Cleaning Brushroll

I’ve actually recently been trying a few lightweight cordless vacuums (Dyson V8, Shark IZ202, and the Hoover HF9 from Hoover Direct). Here’s what I’ve noticed: * Weight: The Hoover HF9 is around 2.5kg, which makes it noticeably easier to carry up the stairs compared to the Shark (heavier and bulkier). * Battery: One thing I liked about the Hoover is that the battery is removable. If you’ve got a bigger home, you can grab a spare and double the runtime, whereas Dyson’s older models don’t have that option. * Suction & floor types: Dyson still seems slightly better on raw suction, but the Hoover did a great job on hard floors and my living room rug. * Price: The Hoover came in cheaper than Dyson but felt more sturdy than some of the budget options I tested which is always a bonus! Thought I would share my thoughts here and hopefully help!

I know majority HATE Shark but we love our shark stick vac. The duo-clean feature is amazing on hard floors. I bought our Ionflex 200 so many years ago, refurbished, on Amazon. The battery is still excellent and it works great. I also bought a Kenmore Elite Litening 7005 (cordless) to use as our main vacuum, replacing our 15 year old upright.

People go nuts for Henry's on here but I find their suction and ability to get up pet hairs is poor, and lugging around the unit is really tiresome. I have a cordless Shark with anti-hair wrap and it's fantastic. Having a long haired cat, the fur gets everywhere, and it easily gets it all.

For my hard floors, I use a shark duoclean. It has a regular brush roll, but in front of that it has a soft, kinda fuzzy brush roll. It picks up crumbs, dirt, and dust like a champ Unfortunately, it’s not under $200 new but you could likely find a lightly used one for that cost

I own the shark duoclean, and I fucking love the technology, especially the floor detect sense for hardwood floors. This sub is going to downvote me to oblivion for praising it. But If you can get one at Costco you should be good.

I went thru this struggle about 5ish years ago... I was sick of my hair getting tangled and getting stuck, having to take it apart, etc. I went down a rabbit hole of researching and ended up with a Shark... I'm not sure of the exact model, I can definitely get it for you. But I know it comes with the duoclean brushes and special compartment for the long hair to go into. I was skeptical at first but it works 100% of the time!! I have never, ever had to clean hair from the brushes. I don't know how it works but it does. I got it at Kohls to use the Kohls cash. Pros- no more tangled brushes or wheels, very powerful and have no complaints about suction, easy to lift off to get under furniture... Cons- it's loud and heavy, I hate using it because of that, there's no easy wrap cord feature that some vacuums have (you press a button and the cord automatically retracts), accessories fall off if you just look at them wrong, "pet brush" accessory is meh..

I have own three sharks. I think the first was the NV210, it was a tank. Lasted us ten years but I kept it and filters clean, and I abused it by cleaning up pea stone, Dry wall dust, and banging into wood trim. Good cheap vacuum. The second was the rechargeable stick. Not great. Poor suction, terrible battery, very difficult to clean. Only lasted three years, including one battery swap. Would not buy again. The third is our current plug-in vacuum. Shark lift away with the power odor eliminator pod. It’s decent, but the brushhead is weird, it takes its time to wind up to full speed. It’s a different roller than a typical beater brush and apparently doesn’t get hair stuck around it. Good suction for the price, I was very wary of dropping a grand for a vacuum after I had such good years with our previous shark. haven’t needed to work on it much yet and I have a wet/dry vacuum now for house projects. I spent a lot of time in this sub last November prior to decide on the best vacuum. My wife was adamant she wanted a standup, she wanted battery powered (to replace the shark mentioned above) but I was able to convince her to relax on this requirement. And she wanted bagless, this couldn’t sway her. After a time of tolerating the shark rechargeable I had enough and tossed it. This past week I bought a Dyson v15 refurbished on Amazon, it was brand new and works great so far although it my wife mentioned it doesn’t handle pea stone well dragged in by two doodles from our garden. She’s beyond happy so I’m happy. However now I want a better plug-in vacuum. She’s a quick mess cleaner, I’m a deep cleaner, and the new shark is not a vacuum I’d buy again. I probably would buy a Miele C1.

Wir sind jetzt nach 5 Jahren mit etlichen Akku Saugern wieder zurück zu einem Kabel gebunden. Zuletzt hatten wir den Shark akkusauger der nach nicht mal einem halben jetzt dermaßen an Saug Leistung eingebüßt hat. Trotz neuem Akku,regelmäßiger Wartung und sogar einschicken. Wir haben einen Altstadt-Altbau aus 1800schlag mich tot, mit 180qm auf unzähligen Ebenen und zwischen Geschossen. Egal welches Modell wir probiert haben, mit Tieren und mehr als einer Person, sind wir mit nichts happy gewesen. Saugleistung schwach, Akku schwach, Filter verstopft. Grund gütige… Unser Vorwerk ist zwar etwas schwerer als der Akku Sauger, aber die Vorteile sind es einfach wert das Teil auch mal 4 Ebenen Rauf und runter zu schleppen.

I like the Shark pethair vacuum myself. It works great for me and my cats.

I've always found them to be hype. Used to have a Dyson corded that I got from my dad second hand. it was good, until I decided to replace it with a Shark corded. The first time I used the shark, you'd have thought I'd never hoovered the carpet, honestly the amount of engrained hair and dust it pulled out was insane in comparison to the Dyson which looked like it was doing a good job, it's not that it didn't pick anything up but I would say the recovery rate was probably 65% in comparison to the shark. I then bought the shark stick handheld and was using that but when I split with my ex it stayed at the house. My new partner has a Dyson V8 and it's crap in comparison, there is stuff I know my shark would of picked up easily and the Dyson struggles. I also have a V7 my dad gave me which I just replaced the battery on as that had got to the point where it would only run for 30seconds before switching off so will see how it is with the new battery but tbh don't hold high hopes.
