The Shark AZ2002 Vertex is a powered lift-away upright vacuum designed for thorough cleaning on both carpets and hard floors. It features DuoClean PowerFins technology and a self-cleaning brushroll to minimize hair wrap.
This Shark Vertex vacuum combines upright power with the flexibility of a lift-away canister. The DuoClean PowerFins brushroll is engineered with two brushrolls that work together to pick up fine dust and larger debris on all floor types.
