The best-selling vacuum cleaner in the US came to me for testing

Sharig Electric Company, the official importer of Shark in Israel, recently launched a new model of a vacuum cleaner for the best-selling brand in the US for 4 years in a row. The new wireless model of the American brand SHARK, which was recently launched, is marketed by the manufacturer as an advanced model and is claimed to have been born under the vacuum cleaner series of the brand (Zero Maintenance) ZERO M, which boasts a patent for zero maintenance and preventing hair or fur from tangling on the brush.

This model, named VERTEX DOUBLE PRO, comes, unlike previous models in the series, with a pair of batteries for continuous pumping for about two hours and with a smart digital screen.

This is a new model (Vertex Double Pro (IZ323) and advanced by SHARK which includes an exclusive patent to prevent the hair from getting tangled in the brush and without the need for regular maintenance for a comfortable and simple use experience, a flexible pole so you don't have to bend down and two technological innovations: a smart digital screen for ease of use that shows the battery status, the suction power and the type of surface and allows easy control of the 3 modes (floor, parquet and carpet), for easy and convenient use and without the need to press the trigger, simply move between the modes with the push of a button. A pair of removable and rechargeable batteries (25.2V) for up to 120 minutes of continuous pumping without interruption with the option of charging Even outside the vacuum cleaner.

In addition to the two innovations, the new vacuum cleaner also has two motors (a separate motor for the unique fiber brush that hits dirt and dust from deep in the carpet) and it benefits from all the technologies found in the other vacuum cleaners in the ZERO M series: the double brush technology (Dou clean) - a unique brush that is suitable for all types of surfaces (floors , parquets, carpets) without the need to change heads. The double brush consists of 2 combined brushes, for convenient suction while maintaining the suction power: a beater head brush for suctioning dirt from the depth of the carpet and a soft brush for capturing dirt and small dust particles from the floor, just like moving a damp cloth. The full sealing technology - includes an antibacterial HEPA filter that filters up to 99.9% of dust.

The technology captures dust, bacteria and allergens inside the vacuum cleaner and prevents the exit of dirt back into the room, thus ensuring the capture and preservation of the dust and dirt particles inside the vacuum cleaner, ideal for people with allergies or families with small children. Flexible mechanism FLEX - Shark's vacuum cleaners are characterized by an ergonomic structure adapted to the convenience of vacuuming and storage. : The flexible and foldable rod allows convenient vacuuming without bending under furniture and in places with limited access, the option of folding the vacuum cleaner in half also allows for optimal storage and charging in the home space that does not take up much space.

In addition to what has been said so far, Shark's ZERO-M VERTEX DOUBLE-PRO vacuum cleaner comes with:

Turbo button for thorough pumping, noise dampening technology to reduce noise, an extra large collection chamber and the possibility of emptying the tank by pressing its paw, an automatic shut-off mechanism to protect the motor from overload, a silicone shield on the top of the vacuum to protect against damage to furniture and LED lighting to illuminate the pumping area.

A set of accessories: a narrow accessory for corners and grooves, a multi-purpose accessory for upholstery and hair, a motorized turbo accessory and more.

Working time: the 2 batteries allow continuous work of about 120 minutes, when one battery is working, the other is charging.

The total weight of the vacuum cleaner: 4.58 kg. The recommended price for the consumer: NIS 2,390.

The design: the new model is more beautiful and designed than the previous models and the digital display enhances the user experience. This is helped by the ability to see at any given time the state of the battery, its power and its work plan.

Unique appearance: its folded appearance while resting, looks more aesthetic. For me personally, everything below eye level is less "bothering my eye". I found a charging area for him in the closet and he is completely unobtrusive there. Plus, it's nice that it looks a little different from all the other vacuums in the cordless vacuums category. Its unique appearance sets it apart, in my opinion, for the better.

The noise level: to a non-professional ear, the dampening noise technology is not unusually noticeable, neither positively nor negatively, but its activation alongside two other models that we are testing these days, illustrated that the technology that promises, fulfills, and indeed the noise intensity is slightly reduced, but again, don't get it wrong So that you can work/study/listen or have a pleasant conversation while he works.

The bending: the ability of the rod to fold in order to clean low places that are difficult to reach, helps the cleaning work under beds and sofas and makes the cleaning more thorough in these areas. Nevertheless, it should be noted that holding the vacuum cleaner during the bent suction is not particularly comfortable and physical effort is required for this.

Emptying the waste: the waste container is relatively large, which allows continuous work without emptying until the end. Pressing both sides of the container opens it easily into the bin.

Adaptation to different types of surfaces: the fact that there is no need to change accessories when going from the carpet to the floor / parquet makes the work smoother and less cumbersome. Pressing a button on the base unit will transfer the working mode to the one adapted and accurate to the type of surface. For the same reason by the way, I did not find an effective use of the accessory for the animal hair, unless I set out to vacuum the dog hair only, meaning that this was the purpose of the operation in the first place. In normal times, the dog hair is vacuumed together with the dust without difficulty.

The working time: the additional battery does allow a longer working time than usual. While using the vacuum cleaner, it did not happen that we had to stop the pumping operation because of a battery, which did happen to us quite a few times with other models of similar brands.

The suction power: similar to the previous vacuum cleaner we tested from the same M-ZERO series, the suction power is indeed impressive, and stronger than other vacuum cleaners we tested, (to the point of a less pleasant feeling of heaviness when holding it).

Weight: and if we focus on weight, then although the batteries allow a longer working time than usual, the weight of the base unit is significantly higher than models of similar brands, which may cause hand fatigue even before the battery runs out.

According to the importer, the price of the ZERO-M VERTEX DOUBLE PRO model vacuum cleaner that we tested: NIS 2390. It should be noted that we found this specific model also at more affordable prices online.

The price of this model is not much different from other equivalent models of competing brands and therefore, the consideration that must be applied before choosing a wireless model from this category should be the use, the working time, the design and other data that are important to you personally and meet your exact needs.

For example, I had a hard time with the heavy weight of the base unit, but I was definitely impressed by the unique design, the low height of the vacuum during storage, the double battery and the suction power.

The vacuum cleaner comes with a full 1 year warranty + 4 additional years of warranty on the vacuum cleaner and an additional 1 year warranty on the batteries (subject to Reg Electric regulations). Available at selected electrical networks and on the Sarig Electric website, the official importer.
