Shark - Vertex Pro Lightweight Cordless Stick Vacuum with DuoClean PowerFins IZ662H

I have a Shark cordless WITH FINS. Not the brush roller. The fins do not wrap hair!! I have long hair, wool rugs and a dilute Torti, i vacuum every day and empty it daily. Fins are the way to go. Corded or cordless. FINS FINS https://preview.redd.it/bmwj48r457fe1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ef9a3241ef64e2c8ee9c1c90bfe78dc4d5de906

Could be experience with the different lines. I love my Vertex, have had it for years and it's still great. I've told people to get it. My Rotator is disappointing in comparison. I wouldn't get another one.

I really love my Shark Vertex, which is an older version of what you have shown there. Tons of power and works great on both hardfloors and carpet.

They are excellent vacuums for the money if you can find them on sale. I got the new Vertex for $150. I had my last Shark for five years and lost it in the divorce 😂.

Most of these guys are SEBO and Melile enthusiasts to say the least. They would also recommend these or a Kenmore bagged unit. I can see why too. I do wish they wouldn’t just straight downvote anything they didn’t agree with. If the Ryobi will be anything like the Dirt Devils, the filter is way undersized, and the way they are designed, the dirt and dust, anything vacuumed gets launched directly into the filter and quickly looses suction. When I say quickly, I mean super quickly. Like 20 mins or less of run time. I have a Shark Vertex, and it has little use on it. But it’s aged in dog years. The particulate filter has needed replacement. The HEPA filter seems ok still. The front brush roll is worn. The anti-tangle main roller works great! But the silicon flaps seem to be impregnated with fibers and have begun to wear very quickly too. I’ll be looking at a Kenmore 600 with a powered pet brush when the shark kicks the bucket or I can’t stand it anymore. Coming from someone who hates that stupid springy hose too! I also purchased a Dirt Devil Scorpion. I’ve mentioned the filter already… I’ve used it about 40-50 min total. The “flip over” attachment has broken, the clear plastic is showing stress marks from the powered brush roll being pushed back and forth. Can’t expect much for 30 dollars, but damn. Wish I wasn’t banging out the filter every 20 mins. Lol. I’m sure you’ll get some use from a Ryobi, but I don’t think it will be the best. I also don’t think you’ll have the best experience with it. You probably could edit your post to say what your use case would be. Carpet, upholstery, stairs, tile, hardwood. Pets?no pets? That way these guys can help you better.

Seems like you’re looking for a vacuum with pets? Still haven’t upgraded here, but looking at the Kenmore 600 or Kenmore 81714 here. This sub convinced me to go back to bagged. Coming from a Shark Vertex. About 60% tile and 40 percent deep pile carpet. Main issue right now is the couches and a Belgian Mal. Hard to get the hair off. A powered upholstry brush roller is what I’m looking for.

More hygienic. You throw mostly everything away. The pre-filter on the Shark is washable, so that’s good. But most people neglect it. I’ve washed it once and replaced it once. The main HVAC filter has been replaced once as well. They get caked with dust and suction decreases pretty fast. My main 2 gripes are that the main roller anti-tangle “flaps” are wearing down and replacement parts aren’t available and suction does taper off pretty fast once the filters get plugged up. Which is a lot faster than you think.

Check out VacuumWars on YouTube for reviews. He uses really objective testing. My recommendation is the shark Apex/Vertex/Stratos duo clean zero m. It has a little comb inside that basically stops all hair tangles around the roller and it has two rollers- a soft roller for hard floors and a brush for carpet. It can be lifted off for handheld use. It's a 10/10. The Apex is the original model, there's now the Vertex and I think Stratos But you're more likely to find the apex on sale. This isn't a super cheap vacuum but it isn't outrageous either. It also has great filtration.

Sebo powerhead. So incredibly easy to clean. I also had great luck with the Shark duoclean powerfin system but the actual vacuum was a dumpster file. Didn’t last a year. I also learned I prefer bagged vacuums to help trap and contain the allergies, dust, hair. My Sebo canister has four levels of filtering on it. My Dyson smells like it has none.
