It is no secret that I am not a fan of cleaning the house, who is? It is one of life’s necessities that has to be done and we have to somehow fit it into our busy schedule of being homeschooling mom, everything else mom and wife. So when I clean I want tools that are quick and effective and prevent me from having to do the same work twice. Last year I received a Shark Rocket Complete with DuoClean Technology and absolutely love it. I love the dual brush roll that is great at picking up small particles and I love how compact it is. While I love the Shark Rocket Complete with DuoClean Technology I have always wanted a cordless vacuum, not one of those cheesy dustbusters, but a cordless vacuum that really works and performs just as well as my plugin vacuum. This year Shark introduced the Shark IONFlex DuoClean and it is absolutely amazing.
You will notice in the pic above that soft brushroll. It is great at grabbing the particles and then throws them back at the traditional brush behind it.
The Shark IONFlex DuoClean is compact, yet powerful weighing in at only 8.7lbs. with accessories.
Here you can see a good shot of the dustbin. It is a little on the small side, but I can vacuum all of the hardwoods downstairs before I have to empty it. I am ok with this because that is part of what makes it so light and portable.
The Lithium-Ion battery offers excellent run time and the IF252 model I received comes with two of them so I never run out of power. The Shark IONFlex DuoClean offers more runtime than the Dyson V8 thanks to the two batteries. Recharge time is quick and really not an issue for me since I always have one in the vacuum and one in the charging cradle.
Using the Shark IONFlex DuoClean is very intuitive. Big power button in the center, carpet or hard floors can be selected using the button on the left and two power modes can be chosen from the button on the right. I use mine in extended runtime mode 90% of the time because although it saves on battery power it still picks up the majority of dirt and dust.
Accessories included:
- 2 ION Power Pack Batteries
- 1 Charger
- 1 Cradle
- Duster Crevice Tool
- Anti-Allergen Dusting Brush
- Pet Multi-Tool
- MultiFLEX™ Under-Appliance Wand
I really love this vacuum and only have one complaint. I cannot for the life of me find anywhere on it to store the accessories. I have looked on the website, all through the user’s manual and searched online with no luck. The under appliance wand is quite large so I would expect to have to store it separately, but when I need the duster crevice tool, anti-allergen dusting brush or pet multi tool I have to stop and go to the laundry room to grab them and that is just not very convenient. If you have one of these and know where the accessory storage I am missing is please comment below!
