Our Verdict

Shark Vertex Pro Lightweight [IZ662H, IZ682H]

Shark Stratos Cordless

The Shark Stratos Cordless is a step up from the Shark Vertex Pro Lightweight. The Stratos feels better built, weighs fractionally less, and delivers better overall cleaning performance. It also packs in a wide variety of convenience features, including an effective automatic power adjustment feature, an odor-neutralizing system, and a self-cleaning floorhead that's a little better at trapping hair. On the other hand, the Vertex has an upholstery nozzle, which is better suited to cleaning furniture than the Stratos' attachments.
