Our Verdict

Shark Rocket Pet Pro

Shark Vertex Lightweight Cordless [IZ440H, IZ462H, IZ483H]

The Shark Rocket Pet Pro is a better overall cordless stick/handheld vacuum than the Shark Vertex Lightweight Cordless. The Pet Pro is lighter and performs better on bare floors as well as low and high-pile carpet. Meanwhile, the Vertex has a slightly longer battery life in its highest power setting and has a bigger dirt compartment that doesn't need to be emptied as often.
