Music: Autumn Waves by Rex Banner

On the rare occasion that Vacuum Wars does a sponsored video or receives a product from a manufacturer to review, we will be clear about that in the video. Otherwise, if nothing was mentioned, then this was an unsponsored review.

I wish every YouTube reviewer was as concise, thorough, and unbiased as your channel. And I now realize that I’m full adult mode now that I enjoy watching vacuum review vids. Lol

Underrated channel, makes vacuums interesting! You can tell the amount of work put into each video

I was shocked the first time I watched one of your videos. It was eye opening to a world of vacuum technology I didn't know existed. After watching a few, I ended up buying the shark vertex pro. I just wanted to drop by and say thank you! Having a vacuum that doesn't flare up my allergies has been great. With it being a bit quieter too, I may actually like vacuuming now. Thanks so much!

You managed to hold the attention of my 9-year-old son while I watched this video! Well done! Thanks as always. We appreciate the time it takes to pull this together.

I recently bought that little Dyson Omni-Glide. Using it exclusively for downstairs dining, kitchen, living room area where we only have one small rug. I absolutely love it. It's so convenient to grab it after dinner and quickly run through dining area around the table and pick up all the crumbs and what not. Takes no time at all. 20 minutes is more than enough of a run time too. Takes me less than 10 minutes to run through the whole first floor. One thing I was surprised by is just how tiny that thing is. Video and pictures don't really show it off that well.

I live in a small 1, 000 square foot home with all hard floors, most of them being real wood. I decided to buy the Shark Vertex Pro after watching your video, and I'm in love! $300 is a hefty price tag for me, but I'm so glad that I made the investment! I used to only sweep the floor with a dust broom and would often miss little debris. This vacuum handles big and small debris pieces and rotates well. Assembly was so easy! I clicked several big pieces together, and I was done! Taking it apart is just as easy. Everything is labeled nicely. I love the attachments, the small size of the vacuum (we have little storage space) and the container to empty the debris opens from the bottom with a simple tab click to dump it in the trash. Even the charger is small and has suction cups on the bottom, so it's more stable. I was afraid of cordless having less suction power, but this vacuum works so well for my needs, is more quiet and simple to use. Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to thank you for this video! I recommended this video on my Facebook. ❤

Awesome! Im hoping that you'll do am update on wet/dry upright vacs (not shops). I see so many Chinese clones on amazon and other online stores.

There is a Dyson V12 (at least in Europe) which is like a dyson micro and v15 had a child. its small but comes packed with features like the laser fluffy roller, a good run time from the V15 but it retains the small formfactor from the micro. I got it and i am amazed!

I feel like you aren’t looking at all the vacuums that could be could for hard floors. Shark, Dyson, LG, and Samsung are all a very small part of the market. You didn’t have the Sebo Felix on here which is amazing on hard floors or any canisters. You should start reviewing different brands such as Miele, Lindhaus, Numatic, and Sebo.

[twise]

After watching a ton of your videos, I ended going with the vertex liftaway. I love it. It's great for our hardwood floors, and doesn't compromise too much on the carpet cleaning side either. We use a robot vacuum daily on the carpeted areas, so we only use the vertex for deep cleaning the carpets.

I think if you have all hard floors and maybe a few area rugs, the only way to go is a great really powerful canister with a really good bare floor tool.

Very impressive reviews. I bought the Shark Vertex Pro based on your evaluations. Thank you. You have saved me a lot of leg work. I have spinal stenosis and get into trouble when vacuuming if the machine is too heavy and inefficient since one tends to work harder and longer when dirt and debris don't get picked up. I also liked that you pointed out that the upright quality vs. the weight on the wrist is not an issue since you have both the stick and the upright qualities with this particular vacuum. As you say, the unit can stand up on its' own and you don't feel like it's going to fall when you lean it up against a wall or counter. All in all, you are an excellent resource and I'll be sure to share your evaluations with others when in the market of replacing a vacuum or two... 🤗

Thank you for your excellent, thorough and most importantly, PRACTICAL reviews. I almost dropped a bundle to buy the top of the line Riccar a few years ago but decided to give the Shark Apex a try based solely on your review and insightful comments. I am extremely happy with the purchase. The Apex has been a terrific vacuum aside from the short hose which you pointed out in your review as one of its only drawbacks. I have not had tremendous luck listening to youtube content for reviews but yours have definitely been helpful. Thanks!

[jhooper]

One of the best, consistent high quality videos. Great audio, awesome voice (have you had training?!?) and so many important content points. Thank you!!

[alessandroiacono]

I'd love to see a wet/dry vacuums review!

[charles]

I find canister vacuums MUCH MUCH easier to use than uprights. I use my shark vertex for carpets and dyson canister with non powered hard floor attachment and it's the perfect combo. Canisters have ZERO handle weight thus perfect manoeuvrability. Seems like canisters are not too popular stateside? Very common here in Australia

[mattheviewer]

Thanks for helpful info! Would be nice to see you test some more middle-high end canisters from Miele, Sebo, etc. Sebo D/E cannisters have more airflow than the Felix which might make the ET-1 powerhead perform better.

[HelgaGabaraev]

Omg where have you been all my life?! This chanel is just so so good, I have spent hours waching your comparisons and reviews and I am absolutely in love with your work and impressed with how skilled you are. Thank you so much for your content it is very much appreciated.

[TonganInTech]

I bought the Shark Cordless Vertex because of this channel, and it has been as amazing as described in the videos. I like it so much that I vacuum even when there is no need. LOL

[misskim]

I appreciate the content creator so much for this video. For that matter, all the folks that take time to help consumers research and save so much time and energy and coins! You all are the true map's! Thank you! Love you lots!
