Vertex UltraLight DuoClean PowerFins Corded Stick Vacuum (HZ2002, HZ2000, HZ2000C, HZ2003C, etc.)

Shark liftaways are the best combo of cheap/powerful. I have the corded vertex (called the power detect now), but i think a lighter slightly less powerful one is the navigator.

If you’re still interested in bagless, you could get a shark corded vertex, last i checked they were 250 dollars on amazon. The corded powerdetect is their latest model of the same configuration and is 350 i believe. Amazing power, and it has a duoclean brushhead that works perfect on both carpet and tile (this way you don’t need to follow that silly flowchart). Vacuum wars youtube channel has great things to say about them.

Who knows, i have a corded shark vertex that has performed flawlessly for 3 years. If you keep the filters clean then you won’t run into problems with them.

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.

I have the Vertex (it’s an older version of one of their lift-aways) and love it. It’s easy to disassemble and put back together, and it’s only a few pieces. I believe their current flagship liftaway is the PowerDetect corded, just a slightly fancier version of the Vertex.

I use clients' vacs but I really want to get my own Shark Duo Clean corded which is lightweight and also folds in half for compact storage. I've used a client's and really liked it. I agree about Henry's, I hate them for weight and they're treacherous balancing on stairs.

I had a corded Shark with the duo clean and tbh it was amazing at first. I used it for almost 6 years. I ran a roomba daily and would use my shark once a week. I have 3 cats, so lots of fur. Eventually, I moved in with my boyfriend, and every time I would vacuum he would start sneezing. The filter for the shark was just not great. I've upgraded to a Miele C3 with bags, and the air quality is just AMAZING. My boyfriend has even commented on the fact that he no longer sneezes when vacuuming. The amount of dirt the Miele finds is also significantly more than the shark, but I dont want to compare as the shark was almost 6 years old vs a brand new Miele.

I've had a shark vertex (corded) for ages and I have not been kind to it. 

I have a shark duo, similar to the navigator. I find it to be a superior vacuum for its cost. And I like the fact that it has a cord, because I can vacuum my whole dang house without it running out of battery.

Yup, shark is great. I got a wired one because I can’t stand a dying battery when I need to do chores, but I hear the battery ones are good. Look for sales on them at Canadian tire or London drugs.

After my second Dyson died I decided to try a Shark Vertex. Holy cow! The suction on this thing is scary good. Only complaint is that when I use the wand it wants to tip over.
