The Shark Vertex UltraLight vacuum is the first Shark product I’ve owned and I am now a believer. As stated in its name, it is super lightweight and easy to maneuver around tight spaces. I was shocked to see how much dirt and dust it picked up the first time I used it, as I had just vacuumed with my previous cleaner two days prior. The canister is simple to remove and easy to clean after emptying the contents. The switch from hard floors to carpeting is easily done with a simple click of a button, and I find that when vacuuming on both types of surfaces, it continues to pick up phenomenally. I also really appreciate the way in which it can be used as a handheld vacuum as well to use on furniture, in the car, or other hard to reach places. Needless to say, I am thoroughly impressed with the Shark Vertex UltraLight vacuum.
