Our Verdict
Simplicity S65
Shark Vertex Lightweight Cordless [IZ440H, IZ462H, IZ483H]
The Simplicity S65 and Shark Vertex Lightweight Cordless each have their own advantages, so one may suit you better than the other depending on your needs. The Shark is better-built, has a larger dirt compartment, superior battery performance, and comes with more tools and accessories. It also does a better job of cleaning debris on bare floors. Meanwhile, the Simplicity offers better performance on low and high-pile carpet, is lighter overall, and easier to maintain.
