Our Verdict

Shark Vertex Lightweight Cordless [IZ440H, IZ462H, IZ483H]

Shark WANDVAC System [WS620, WS632, WS642]

The Shark Vertex Lightweight Cordless is a better vacuum for most uses than the Shark WANDVAC System. The Vertex Lightweight Cordless has a much better battery life and a significantly bigger dirt compartment. It also delivers better performance on bare floors. On the other hand, the Wandvac System does a better job of cleaning carpets and is more portable.
