Shark Vertex UltraLight DuoClean PowerFins with Self-Cleaning Brushroll (HZ2002)

We bought this to replace our Kenmore canister vacuum, which was more replacement parts than original. We bought this because it was well rated on Consumer Reports. We needed something that could handle area rugs and wood floors while not taking up too much space in our small apartment. I agree with other reviews that the cord is very stiff. Does this negatively affect the vacuum? No, but it's worth mentioning. I do wish the cord was either on a swivel or that it retracted into the vacuum, since the cord position does make it awkward to wrap the cord for storage since the cord at the top of the handle will be pulled 180 degrees downwards. It makes me worried about wear and tear as time goes on. The vacuum is very lightweight. I do agree though that due to the bulk of the weight being at the top near the handle, it does put some strain on your hand as you maneuver. It's not world-ending though. People complain about the size of the canister. I don't care that it's "small". I can see how full it is and it's really easy to empty and re-insert. Takes less than a minute, so it doesn't really interrupt my vacuuming. On the old Kenmore, we often didn't realize the bag was full and would keep using it anyways since we'd have to physically open the case to check the bag status. It's nice to easily see how much the Shark has picked up and when it's time to empty. The Shark is very powerful. The first time we used it on the rug, it picked up so much dirt that our Kenmore had been missing, even with adjusting the pile level. I typically chose either the rug or hard floor setting on the vacuum -- the sensor mode does an OK job, but sometimes it will switch floor types which won't always be the best setting to use. I personally don't like the odorizer. I have it on the lowest odor setting possible. Thankfully the smell dissipates quickly. Overall, for $200, this is a good vacuum. If it were to break in 2-3 years, I wouldn't be too upset and would just purchase another.

This is my second Shark vacuum cleaner - I thought the first one did a good job, but this one does a great job. The suction is incredibly powerful for such a lightweight vacuum. It does a good job getting up dust and pet hair, too. The self-propelled feature is also powerful, maybe a bit too powerful because it wants to move quickly. The cord length is ample. I wish it had more tools - it only comes with three. I have used the removable handheld vacuum as well as the floor stick - both are easy to use. My only minor complaint is that the dust bin is a little more difficult to empty - the release lever doesn't open and automatically "dump" the contents. You have to pull the cup open which requires two hands. I do recommend this item.

Great suction and cleaning. Dust cup is a room full at best. We will keep it as it replaced a 6 year old shark upright lz 601. Also an excellent machine. It had a dust cup three times bigger. Oh well, it cleans perfectly and it stands up by itself. Both major wins.

This is my second Shark corded Stick Vacuum and this one is a couple step up from the basic model, so easy to assemble. The minute it was out of the box I had to use it. Mind you I cleaned today with my older Hoover today. Oh my gosh does our carpet look great, lots of suction and love the new brush! Our carpet has never felt so good! I was impressed at the length of the power cord. This model sits lower than the other model and it glides over the carpet also it's quiet! Well worth the money that we paid for it. This will make vacuuming much easier.

After learning the hard way that refurbished vacuums are a gamble—my last refurbished Shark stick lasted almost two years before losing all suction. I decided it was time to invest in a brand-new machine. I still have a 5-year-old Shark Navigator upright but it is just too heavy, making my 62 yo back ache. It is a total workhorse, so it is now relegated to garage/deck duty. The Shark POWERDETECT Ultra-Light Corded Stick Vacuum (HZ4002) is the perfect replacement for my daily indoor cleaning! Major Pros: Self-Standing so you don't have to lean it against something as you go. Powerful Suction gives me the confidence it is doing a good job. Floor Detect which is great for automatically detecting my hardwood floors and my many area rugs. Lightweight to take pressure off my back. Direction detect that picks up debris forward and backward. I have never thought about that before but now is a must have. Self cleaning brush is a must for those of us with long hair. I won't go back! HEPA filters are crucial, especially if you have allergies. Top-Mounted Cord: The cord is located at the top of the handle, which is brilliant, as it keeps the cord out of the way, so I never have to bend over to pick it up to avoid tripping or running it over. While I’ve seen some reviewers not like the stiff cord, I don't have a problem with it. The Scent Disc: I am incredibly sensitive to strong fragrances (I absolutely hate Febreeze), and I was very hesitant about this neutralizing technology. However, you can adjust the scent intensity dial, and on the lowest setting, I hardly notice it. Upholstery/Pet Tool: The handheld attachment has a spinning roller, making it a mini-vacuum for furniture. It is absolutely awesome! Conclusion: I have no complaints about the Shark POWERDETECT. It is efficient, versatile, and has made cleaning, even with a bad back, much easier. Highly recommended

The best vacuum i ever had! Light, long cord, easy to use. I have a dog, now it cleans everything just perfect! Happy for thus purchase

My Electrolux was just getting too heavy to pull around. I needed something lighter. I was hesitant about this price but the suction on this vacuum exceeded my expectations and I'm very happy with it. The first time I used this Shark on my carpet I realized how much my canister was leaving behind. wow. I do have to agree with complaints about the cord quality and I wish there was a swivel head on the attachments to make the handheld more versatile. The pet attachment is surprisingly ineffective on hair but the simple upholstery attachment has so much suction it makes up for it. Pros are the suction is awesome, the light is handy, the swivel on the main bar is easy to control. It stands on its own which is a must IMO, the dirt cup is easy to remove and empty, being corded is the way to go... consistent power, no battery or run time issues its just unfortunate the cord feels of such poor quality.

El equipo me llego hoy y funciona increíble

Es silenciosa lo más que se puede en aspiradora, si cierras el cuarto, ni se escucha que estas aspirando. Es potente. Aspira muy bien. NO PESA. Ocupa poco espacio. Muy bien con el polvo y pelaje mascotas. Tengo 2 gatos y 7 perros...y solo con esta aspiradora esta limpia la casa. Muebles camas, piso, La recomiendo mucho

Aspiras como si llevaras a pasear a tu perrito, te lleva sola

Where to start??? First off, cordless is fine but has it's own issues such as battery life, charge time, and battery longevity (they stop holding a charge after a while). Eventually they hold such a short charge the product is unusable. Buy new batteries. Yes.... Because a cordless stick vacuum isn't expensive enough as it is. LoL!! So, having to plug a vacuum in is far from an inconvenience. Also, having a corded motor means more power, more suction. The Shark HZ2002 Vertex stick vacuum is a MONSTER with a whopping 380 watt motor and a 30 foot cord. It has dual rollers in the head (which is a powered head to add). One at the rear with bristles and the front with a polymer rubber fin design. So it's abilities to scoop up debris from laminate floors, linoleum, hardwood or any hard floors is flawless. Vacuuming kitty litter and afraid of getting 500mph granular projectile blasted back at you? No fear. The HZ2002 Vertex doesn't let a single morsel out of it's vortex. It sucks everything in and nothing escapes. As for carpet, the suction is also unparalleled by any vacuum on the market in this price range. My carpets look brand new. I was ready to rent a bin and chuck all of my area rugs. The Vertex HZ2002 had such an incredible impact on these carpets because it lifted deep dirt and tracked-in debris with it's impressive suction power. The triple air filter system is another bragging point. Easy to clean, and recirculates the exhaust air without worry of blowing dust or allergens back into the air you are breathing in. In addition, this vacuum is GREAT on pet fur that gets dug into the fibres of carpet and furniture. It comes with a smaller furniture head as well as a bristle fitting and a long tappered hose for hard to reach, tight spots. What else? It is VERY maneuverable and agile. The LED lights on the front are awesome and bright. The canister SEEMS small but it is perfect. And super easy to clean. Cordless vacuums have to conserve power so the head on them is powered by air flow and gearing which is inferior for proper suction. This vacuum has restored my faith in companies again. I started to think everything in this world was low quality and overpriced gimmicks. Thank you Shark!! I will be a loyal customer for the rest of my days if you keep delivering phenomenal products like this that work flawlessly. You raised the bar in the vacuum industry.
