  • In this video we describe some of the things we really like about the Shark IONFlex cordless stick vacuum (model 2X IF252). See it on Amazon: amzn.to/2CDg4Tq (model IF251)
    Read our IONFlex written review here: vacuum-cleaner-advisor.com/Sh...
    Some of our Favorite Vacuums listed below:
    UPRIGHT - Our Favorite
    Shark Vertex: amzn.to/2KFVK9T
    UPRIGHT - Homes with Pets
    Shark Vertex: amzn.to/2KFVK9T
    Shark ZU632: amzn.to/378L6QM
    Dyson Ball Animal 2: amzn.to/3md5A0L
    UPRIGHT - Less Expensive
    Shark NV360: amzn.to/3lbZJrt
    CORDLESS - Our Favorite
    Dyson V8 Absolute: amzn.to/3mhiLhy
    CORDLESS - Less Expensive
    Dyson V7 Motorhead: amzn.to/3l9Xyo8
    Shark Rocket Pro: amzn.to/3o2nJzc
    We start by describing the different IONFlex models then show exactly what you get with the IF252 (what's in the box). We discuss DuoClean Technology, the fact that the 2X models come with 2 batteries, and recharge time. We also show a chart indicating IONFlex run time and compare it to the run time of the Dyson V6 and the Dyson V8 (in both low power and high power modes). In addition, we show that this is a 2-in-1 vacuum and we highlight the very simple and accessible controls. Finally, we like the length of the IONFlex warranty.

    Thanks for the Vid!! I decided on the Shark Ionflex Duo clean 2x over the Dyson as the Ionflex has a replaceable battery, headlight on the power head, has one power head for all surfaces and flexes to get under stuff. None of these features does the Dyson have. I keep my things for a long time and I knew that I would wear out the batterys and need to purchase new ones. When the Dysons battery goes bad the unit is essentially useless and not serviceable without sending in...My Ionflex replaced a 12amp Bissell Power FOrce which is working like it was new. after vacuuming with the IonFlex the Bissell did not pick up anything more! I was shocked!! Ionflex works as well as a high rated corded models!! WOW this suckers is a game changer!

    Great review as always! I enjoy your V7 vs V8 and V10 vs V11 Dyson videos. Have you thought about doing videos comparing other brands such as the shark stick vacuums VS Dyson stick vacuums? Just a thought.

    • @VacuumAdvisor
      @VacuumAdvisor  Před 4 lety

      That's a good idea. I have started to do this on the website and will try and extend it to the video reviews here.

    Which cordless shark vacuum do you think is best?

  • @JW-tr7qf
    @JW-tr7qf Před 5 lety

    A lot of reviewers showed that after vacuuming carpet, debris was still stuck to the head and dropped back to the carpet after they picked up the machine. It would be more helpful if you picked up the vacuum at 5:00 so we could see if anything is still stuck down there...

  • @dopiaza2006

    • @VacuumAdvisor
      @VacuumAdvisor  Před 6 lety

      I've reviewed the AX952 on the website and - as soon as I get over this darn flu - I will try and get the video reviews up.

    • @JustWinBaby_23
      @JustWinBaby_23 Před 6 lety

      VacuumAdvisor Thank you for getting back to me. Hopefully you’ll get a chance to review the Apex Speed AX912 too. I’m trying to decide if the Apex Speed AX912 is better overall and worth the cost ($80 to $100 more) over the NV801/803 Duo Clean Speed. Rest up and hope you feel better soon.

    @katrinabrie3514 Před 5 lety

    Do you have to get on the floor to change from hard floor to carpet mode or is the switch above?
    I have a Dyson Absolute and it’s ALWAYS jamming, so much, I just stopped using it in frustration.

    • @VacuumAdvisor
      @VacuumAdvisor  Před 5 lety

      Hi Katrina. The control to switch between carpet and bare floor is just above the vacuum handle so you can access it easily with your thumb.

  • @nickbaker7625
    @nickbaker7625 Před 4 lety

    I’m sure a ton have people have asked, but I’m curious. How many vacuums do you own? Do you keep them all? If so, please do a collection video.

    • @VacuumAdvisor
      @VacuumAdvisor  Před 4 lety

      Hey Nick. I actually have not counted but I've got quite a few. I keep them around because I often use them to compare to one another. Folks often want to see comparison stuff. A collection video is an interesting idea.

  • @spooky6832
    @spooky6832 Před 6 lety

    i was going to get this instead of dyson, glad i saw this with the excruciating noiuse, i will stick with the Dyson - it comes with the wall charging unit too, $60 more & worth it.

  • @Pete_or_Peter4Long
    @Pete_or_Peter4Long Před 6 lety +5

    Do you feel like this deep cleans carpets as well or has as much air flow as the Dyson V8?

    • @dtz1000
      @dtz1000 Před 6 lety +1

      Shark is no where near as good as Dyson on carpets. Just look at the video "Shark IF250UK vs Dyson V7 total clean porridge" to see what I mean. Dyson V8 also has HEPA filter which no shark cordless has.

    • @blakaeg
      @blakaeg Před 6 lety +3

      dtz1000 He's asking for facts not opinions. Doesn't sound like you have used the Shark to give that information.

    • @dtz1000
      @dtz1000 Před 6 lety +3

      blakaeg I not only gave a fact but I also pointed to proof for that fact. Did you even bother to look at that video I pointed to? It shows the fact that Shark duoclean cordless didn't clean carpet as well as a Dyson V7.
      Second fact I pointed to is lack of HEPA filter in all shark cordless vacuums which, by the way, was not even mentioned in the video on things he dislikes about this shark machine. So that is another relevant fact. If you can't filter out the allergens from a carpet and just pump them back out into the air, then that is not deep cleaning a carpet.
      If you can do better than what I have done here then go ahead.

    • @Pete_or_Peter4Long
      @Pete_or_Peter4Long Před 6 lety

      dtz1000 I wonder how something like the Dyson V8 compares to a shark upright like the apex in terms of deep cleaning. Obviously probably not as well but the convenience of a cordless is so nice.

    • @dtz1000
      @dtz1000 Před 6 lety

      Silent Lucidity ASMR So you like a filter that is inferior to a HEPA filter and is not the right one for those with allergies? OK.
      I also don't recognise what you say about cleaning the filters. The filters on the Dyson are very easy to clean and the HEPA filter hardly ever needs cleaning because the other filter on the Dyson V8 is so good at its job. Look at the video "Shark IF250UK vs Dyson V7 total clean porridge" to remind yourself which one is better.

  • @Flickymcbean825
    @Flickymcbean825 Před 6 lety +2

    The pet hair test around the 07:00 mark showed that the pet hair wasn’t sucked into the the debris chamber but just wrapped around the brush bar. Test failed in my view. What the video should show is how much of the hair was removed from the carpet and sucked into the debris chamber.

    • @mattjames8683

    I've watched several of your videos and now I have one question. I'm looking for a handheld for hard floors I already own a upright Dyson but now I'm trying to choose between the V8 and the Ion X40 which one do you like better and why?

  • @ems9029

  • @pugapino
    @pugapino Před 6 lety

    Can you recommend an upright vacuum brand that will last 20+ years? I had a 1/2 HP Panasonic that lasted me 20 years with only one belt repair that I sold when moving. Unfortunately Panasonic stopped making vacuums. It seems like many Vacuums are built very cheaply.

    • @billydarley6925
      @billydarley6925 Před 6 lety

      ive read and been told horsepower in the vacuum world dont mean squat. but i dont know what else to call my 6.5hp craftsman shopvac lol i know its really strong though.

    • @pugapino
      @pugapino Před 6 lety +1

      Billy Darley, HP does indicate the amount of potential work(cleaning). A 1 watt vacuum cleaner would not be practical on a large carpet. However ignoring the agitator for a moment, A good indication of effectiveness would be a graph of vacuum pressure(Torrs) vs Airflow(CFM) for a particular Vacuum cleaner.

    • @billydarley6925
      @billydarley6925 Před 6 lety

      FiveFiveFive OneTwoOneTwo do you know of any examples or websites showing that stuff?

    • @pugapino
      @pugapino Před 6 lety +1

      Billy Darley Unfortunately, I haven’t seen it. Most people would rather buy a vacuum cleaner from some guy with a British Accent in a TV commercial rather an informed decision based on actual data.

    • @billydarley6925
      @billydarley6925 Před 6 lety

      FiveFiveFive OneTwoOneTwo yeah I'm not super impressed with those. My interest in shark apex duo is based on reviews both written/ video and current owners feedback during face to face conversation. I'm really surprised all the positives I'm hearing about it. Not something I would have bet on. Don't look like much of a deep cleaner to me but for that I have a royal 4000.

  • @MrKenrwi
    @MrKenrwi Před 6 lety +7

    I have the Duo, I sold the V8. The Shark is much,much better and get the motor pet brush head. Way better then my V8 was in just about every case except maybe looks? Subjective of course I like it but anyway the weight is the same power is killer and charging it is way,way better with replaceable batteries. Battery run time is great get the 2x! I could go on and on just saying I have experience with both and the Dyson loses!

    • @RoxanneBornilla
      @RoxanneBornilla Před 6 lety +1

      Can you point me to he motor pet brush head's link? I want to give the Duo a try. But seeing that pet hair that I NEED TO REMOVE from the bristles/brush is very very turn off.
