Product Snapshot
Overview
The Shark Cordless Vertex Pro Powered Lift-Away is a high-end cordless upright vacuum released in 2021, promising full-power performance and versatile functionality.
It stands out among the best-rated vacuum cleaners because of its lift-away pod that simplifies cleaning on stairs and in cars. With LED headlights, this model illuminates dark spots.
A digital display simplifies monitoring the battery life and other parameters. This vacuum has an anti-allergenic HEPA filter, which is known to remove up to 99.97% of allergens and other small particles.
Analysts lauded the Shark Cordless Vertex Pro Powered Lift-Away, approving it for carpets and hard floors. Reviewers at Modern Castle praised its 0.8L dirt cup.
However, if you need a more hygienic unit, see the Kenmore Intuition Bagged review. The vacuum weighs a reasonable 12.57 lbs, and researchers at Britannica approved its removable pod for stairs and vehicles.
It clocked in at a good 63 minutes during battery life tests. However, If you prefer a cordless model, check out the Shark APEX UpLight review.
Cleaning tests revealed an excellent 100% large debris pick-up rate on bare floors and 73% on low-pile carpets and effectiveness around furniture. See the Shark ION F80 review for a bendable model designed for homes with furniture.
Tests revealed a low 0.98 kPa suction power figure and a normal 75.7 dBA noise rating. The allergy-friendly HEPA filter prevented dirt leakage in tests.
However, see our Shark Anti-Allergen Pet Power review for an even more allergy-friendly unit. The Vertex Pro doesn’t come with a turbo brush, however.

The LG CordZero A9 Ultimate cordless stick vacuum makes much less noise (71 dBA) than the Shark Cordless Vertex Pro Powered Lift-Away (75.7 dBA). However, the Shark vacuum boasts a much bigger 0.8L dust cup, which contains more debris than the 0.35L dirt compartment of the LG vacuum.
