Shark | Corded Stick Vacuum Cleaner | Vertex Ultralight | Removable Handheld Vacuum | Pet Hair Vacuum for Carpet and Hard Floor | Powerful Suction | No Hair Wrap | 3 Attachments Included | HZ2002

I love that you can change settings between low rug/hardwood to carpeting/heavy rugs. It picks up all the dog hair and the no tangle self cleaning brush actually does what its supposed to do. Long cord makes it easier to go through the house without unplugging to many times. Not to heavy but definitely heavier than a cordless. But you make up for that with suction power. Great vacuum.

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.

This vacuum is a great in between macine, it's more powerful than a cordless vac, and weighs a lot less than a regular vacuum. The cord reaches most of my house from one central plug in. It's great for stairs, to get dust bunnies out from underneath the dinner table, and quick vacuums. I will say you might vacuum with a heavier vacuum occasionally for deeper cleaning, especially if you have deep pile carpet. That said you'll probably be fine with this one. 🙂

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.

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.

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

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

I got this vacuum because I wanted an expensive vacuum that I thought did everything. However, it wasn’t what zi thought it would be. Pros of this vacuum cleaner. It’s tall, it has accessories to use on furniture and the stairs. The top comes off and you can put into the bottom vacuum part which works well while cleaning the stairs. The suction is really good, and it is very sturdy. Cons of this vacuum cleaner. They put the wheels so close together that the vacuum doesn’t stand up by itself and falls over, which I have no idea who would design a vacuum like that. Especially when you have to keep stopping and either take the top off and lay it on the floor or lay the whole vacuum down. Very frustrating! And the dust collector is very small, so you have to constantly dump it out frequently. And they put the dust collector in back of the vacuum so you can’t even see it, to see if it’s full unless you look keep an eye on the back of the vacuum. The accessories are kind of hard to use because they don’t pivot around. I have a Shark Apex I got in 2021, which isn’t as advanced or have all the bells and whistles, but it stands up by itself and works really well and was much cheaper. I’ll keep the vacuum because it does help with cleaning the furniture and the stairs well, but I’ll use my cheaper one for most everyday use. It was on sale. If it was full price, not really worth the money.
