Our Verdict

Shark Vertex UltraLight Corded

Shark Vertex Pro Lightweight [IZ662H, IZ682H]

The Shark Vertex UltraLight Corded and Shark Vertex Pro Lightweight are differently-designed vacuums with different uses. The UltraLight is a corded stick vacuum, so you don't need to worry about running out of charge partway through a cleaning session. It also comes with a miniature turbo brush and delivers better performance on low-pile carpet. Meanwhile, the Vertex Pro has a cordless design that makes it easier to clean areas far from any electrical outlets. The Vertex Pro also clears more debris on bare floors and high-pile carpet, has a larger dustbin, and comes with a flexible wand that makes it easier to clean under tables and chairs without needing to crouch over very deeply.
