      @Just Vlad, so you had to buy a new canister, a new wand, and a new head. How much did that cost you? One of the big complaints I've heard about Shark is that when one little thing breaks, you have to buy whole sections, like if the belt breaks, you can't just get a belt. That seems to be your case.

    Great review, I have had mine for 7 months and use it everyweekend to do commercial cleaning in buildings that people track large amounts of dirt in. I have had to replace those little wheels far too many times though, probably because a large part of the floors I vacuum are coated cement with texture. I am still using the original power head but I had to replace the belt for the front roller and the little fins are getting very worn out so I will likely have to buy a new head soon as well, thankfully I haven't had the problems with the dustbin or the wand and the hose on mine still looks very good. Over all I would say with all the abuse I have given mine just like you it has been a very good vacuum.

    • @stumpusMaximus

      The fact your using it for ‘commercial cleaning’. That null and voids the guarantee instantly. So I hope it works throughout its lifetime for you. I don’t know the process of how a company discerns the fact that your using a product commercially vs home use, but I suppose if they had to service it and found more than average muck or wear in it…?

      @AlextheguitarFreak Před 2 lety +2

      Honestly I don't plan on even trying to get warranty work with this, like you said commercial work voids it. The amount of use I get out of it is worth the price of buying replacement parts outside of the warranty. Plus there's no waiting on my vacuum to get fixed and shipped, when things are close to being broken I buy a new part for just such an occasion.

    You can find replacement wheels for the Navigator on Amazon. I wonder if they’d work on the other models. They look about the same and they’re only $10 for a pack of them. I just bought the Vertex for my wife for Christmas. She currently uses two vacuums for different areas of the house. They’re big and heavy. I’m disabled so she does almost all of the housework on top of working full time. I’m always trying to find ways to make things easier for her since I often can’t help her. I’m hoping this machine makes her vacuuming shenanigans much easier.

  • @alexbrier718
    @alexbrier718 Před rokem +5

    TLDR; My Vertex has been great and I consider it one of my best investments. If mine broke tomorrow I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another one. As with all things, if you want it to last you need to take care of it.
    I love my Vertex. I’ve had it for a bit over 2 years with regular (at home) use. My gf and I both have allergies and asthma (though she’s worse off) so we probably use our vaccuums a bit more often than most people. It’s held up well considering I haven’t done the best keeping up with maintenance.
    Things I’ve learned:
    It’s important to regularly empty the dustbin. Despite its large size the actual max fill capacity is smaller than you’d guess and not clearing out the bin and hair wrap often can lead to reduced suction/ extra strain on the motor.
    It’s also important to wash the foam and felt pre-filters every 2-4 weeks with just warm water (no soap) and also clean/ blow out the backside of the hepa filter ( I wouldn’t advise washing it). Let the filters dry for at least 24hrs and make sure they’re 100% dry before putting them back in the vaccuum. This will increase the airflow through the system/ motor and prevent dust from completely saturating the filters and choking the motor out. I highly recommend getting extra pre-filters and rotating them out. (As one set is washed and drying, the other set can be in use.) According to Shark the pre-filters should be replaced every 2.5 years and the hepa filter every 3 years, though that will vary if you use your vaccuum more frequently than is typical. I would personally air on the side of caution and replace them all every 1-1.5 years unless you also have a second set you swap between.
    Additionally, it’s important to unclog, clean, and inspect the wheels and brushrolls and other parts. I’d do this once per month if you vaccuum weekly.

    This is a great review and spot on. We use our Vertex for cleaning homes as well so it has been through a lot. Shark replaced our brushroll after about 6 months because the PowerFins were all shredded up and splitting apart. Also, sometimes the power button slips and does not always work on the first attempt. Otherwise, we've had no major issues and we love this vacuum, it has served us quite well over the past year. Thank you for sharing!

      @@blt803 I had to fight to have them send me a replacement head free of charge since they argued that it’s a “wear and tear” item, but after six months the PowerFins were not making contact with anything and I was basically just sucking up whatever was on the surface. I’ve bought a great deal of vacuums from Shark and I would have to agree that their customer service and warranty isn’t that great.

      @edcipriani8873 Před rokem

      @@jakekeiser7087 - Can I please ask you a couple questions since you have used the Vertex in many situations and for a long period of time? How well does the Vertex perform on low pile carpets? We have Berber carpeting throughout most of the house.
      Unfortunately the current Shark vacuum, NV501, has bit the dust after 8 years, and that machine did a pretty good job of cleaning the carpeting. This current Shark has a carpet attachment with the old-style brush roller.
      I have been reading many reviews that the Vertex is very powerful, but one thing I am concerned about is will the brush roller fins wear out after a while with regular use, especially since the majority of surfaces in my house are Berber? And if the fins start to wear out, does that mean that the Vertex won't clean carpeting as efficiently or as well as the old-style brush roller carpet attachment?
      I am debating about buying the Vertex, but I also see a few Shark Vacuums that still have the regular brush roller carpet attachment. With my experience with the current Shark vacuum with the brushes, I would remove the carpet attachment and clean out the brush roller on a regular basis, sometimes cleaning it out a few times if I was using the vacuum for an extended period of time.
      Obviously it would be great to not have to do this maintenance anymore, but if an old style brush roller is going to hold up better and longer than the newer style roller with the fins, then I can justify continuing with this task. And I see with the new duo clean feature that the roller in front of the carpet attachment would need to be detached and cleaned on a regular basis as well, so it looks like I would still need to do the regular maintenance and cleaning on the Vertex carpet attachment as well.
      I apologize for the long-winded post, Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

      ​@@edcipriani8873 i just got a lift away advance that has the fins, but it still has brushes on it along with the fins, so i would imagine it would still work fine even if the fins wore down, because the brushes would still be there.
      i just bought it a couple days ago and it's my first good vacuum i've bought, so i really don't know. but it seems like you could cut those fins off and it would basically just be like an older style roller with just the brushes.

    I decided to buy directly from Shark for the 5 year warranty. Did alot of research and was prepared to go in up to 800 for bagged upright but after much research, the bagged higher ends with parts availability and great warranties will have to up their game. We are doing a spruce up of our almost 6 year old powered rotator lift away, replacing brush, belt and then found flexed area if intake is torn. Found that on Amazon (yay) and its going to a new loving home. Shark vacuums have me spoiled w the headlights, wand, lift away, filtration and performance (although rotator not great thick carpet). Many reviews says this model does great on carpets (just have one large area rig) so thought it was worth a try. If it doesn't work all that great on carpets, they have 60 day guarantee, and we always have the dyson carpet champ cordless if not.

    Sebo is the most reliable vacuum brand you can use for commercial or residential cleaning. I bought one for my house and am astonished with how well it’s made and how well it cleans. The main thing I like about it is how solid it feels to hold when using and how simple it is. It was engineered with frequent using in mind, with minimal maintenance and minimal need to adjust stuff on it. All you do is plug it in and turn it on. There is no carpet height adjustment, or switching to hard floor mode, or wondering when to change filter. It does it all. It’s super quiet to.

    Looks like you sent this thing to Vietnam, holy shit. I just ordered one of these since it's like $150 cheaper than the newer flagship..

    I wish someone would show how to properly clean the filters. There are no directions on if. Are you are just supposed to rinse it out or work it underwater and then squeeze or wring it out or not? Will squeezing out the filter damage it? All the manual says is don't use soap. So just run tap water over the filters including the hepa filter to clean them all? Or use a high pressure air hose for the hepa filter and blow it back out the way it went in? I can guess and probably be fine but I would rather someone showed the best way to get the filters the cleanest without damaging them.

    1:45 I have this exact vacuum and like your wife I use it every damn day on my job. But I got to be honest, I don’t like the cord. It’s not that it’s not holding up OK, it’s the cheap stiff plastic. I’d like the cord to be more flexible and soft and less rigid. It tangles easier than I would like.
    Also you are right about that hook that holds the canister on. Mine broke. But I bought lifetime coverage when I purchased the vacuum from the website and they just replaced it instantly. I stopped carrying the vacuum by its little canister handle and grab that pink tube instead to lift it and carry it. They shouldn’t put a handle on there because that little hook just can’t take those tugs. Also I just called them today because the little velvet brush in the front that you were showing…? Yeah it stopped working. So they are sending me a complete new head for the whole thing… Free of charge, again, because I purchased the lifetime warranty.

You didn’t run the risk of carrying any contaminates in the plastic canisters as you would with the cloth bag of the Sanitaire.

      I can't speak for the guy who made the video and I am fairly new to commercial cleaning and don't have experience with commercial vacuums but for my cleaning needs if I were buying bags for a commercial vacuum I can tell you that it would be way too costly for me as I have to empty the dust bin on my vertex 3 times each time I do my cleaning jobs but I only have to clean/change the filter once. I collect probably 15lbs of dirt each cleaning. I have purchased the same aftermarket filters he showed in the video and they work well for less than $20 and maybe 2 times a year I will buy them. I would prefer a vacuum that is easier to repair but the versatility and performance on this vacuum is the real reason I chose it.

    I love my Vertex! I ordered the light stick version (corded) with it and it was defective out of the box so I had to send back. First time I've ever had a bad experience with Shark or their customer service. Their customer service was awful on that side. Snotty and unaccomidating. Just sent it back for a refund. I just ordered the new battery stick just released but found it odd that it isn't in their site for sale??? I was a Dyson fan when they first came out for all the obvious reasons (had a cleaning business). But now, there is no reason whatsoever for anyone to pay for Dyson name as they really haven't improved in the technology that set them apart in the first place. They make its seem like it with new features like laser light to show dirt or double soft roll that pivots 360... but really those are gimmicks. Thank Dyson for raising the bar, but recognize that many have rose to the occasion and Shark did one better with their double brush patent. I'll never go back to anything else. Love how you pointed out normal wear verses excessive due to using this as a business tool. Just loading and unloading any vacuum several times a day will increase wear and tear by double... so it's good to see your point and comparison, yes, about 5 years normal wear in just a normal home situation. Nothing is made to last that long anymore as this is why everyone makes new models every year, it's an upgrade society sadly, not a quality for longevity society. I had my first Dyson for 8 years for both my cleaning business and home... then I switched to Shark and I've owned several of their models. Apex was the biggest upgrade but Vertex is Apex improved for sure. Smiles and blessings...

      samsung and apple are the most heavily advertised and people are programmed to think the most heavily advertised things are automatically the best.

      Probably your micro switch. There’s a micro switch in the head that detects when the machine is reclined. It breaks often and like very shark uses that same easily broken switch. No they will not sell you the switch because shark doesn’t give a shit about you or any of their customers.

    Shark Vertex is a better vacuum than most today albeit more expensive. Any vacuum under $300 won't do a good job anyway. Doesn't always pick up debris without prolonged or several swipes & there is no edge cleaning unless you use hand wand. The 12 amp Shark upright I had more than ten years ago was a better vacuum.

      I have this vacuum and when I purchased it I bought the lifetime warranty. It replaces anything that breaks. I’ve had to replace the canister because the hook that held it on to the body of the vacuum broke off because it’s just not strong enough to withstand being picked up by the handle. They replaced it instantly no cost to me, and I just had the front velvet covered roller underneath stop rotating and today I called them and they are sending me a brand new one no charge. It’s definitely worth it to buy their lifetime warranty for this vacuum. But overall the performance of it is really excellent as far as its ability to actually clean. I think there’s some flimsy design issues. But, anymore it seems like you have to buy a warranty on anything.
