Shark PowerPro Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum IZ373H review

Shark PowerPro Pet IZ373H review: a one-battery stick with the Pet tool in the box

The IZ373H is the straight-wand member of Shark’s PowerPro Pet line. Its practical draw is a mixed-floor head that automatically changes brushroll speed, a detachable handheld unit and a named Pet Multi-Tool in the exact box list. This is a different package from the PowerPro Flex Reveal Plus models: the IZ373H does not have a documented bending MultiFLEX wand or the model-specific Dirt-Reveal light. Shark’s US product page displayed a back-in-stock notification prompt when checked, so treat availability as changeable rather than assuming an order can ship today.

A single head for changing floor surfaces

Shark describes a self-cleaning PowerFins nozzle with FloorDetect. The manufacturer says FloorDetect detects the floor type and adjusts brushroll speed, with no nozzle change required between surfaces. That is helpful in a home where hard flooring runs into carpet or rugs, because the route does not depend on swapping floor tools. It is a published operating claim, not a comparative test result; the brushroll still needs inspection if hair or fibers collect.

The IZ373H has LED headlights. Shark says they illuminate dark areas to make dust and small debris easier to spot. That wording is useful but not identical to the model-specific Dirt-Reveal feature on the IZ382H/IZ380H family. The IZ370/IZ380 guide limits Dirt-Reveal to the IZ382H and IZ380H and says it illuminates on hard floors only. The IZ373H page does not claim that special Dirt-Reveal arrangement, so do not buy it specifically for the Flex Reveal Plus beam or assume its headlight has the same behavior.

Pet attachment in the carton, but verify the replacement bridge

The IZ373H product page’s box list names a crevice tool and Pet Multi-Tool. That package distinction can matter more than the shared “pet” name: a Pet Multi-Tool is not the same requirement as a powered miniature upholstery brush. Shark’s separate 629FJ140 accessory page describes a convertible stiff-bristle brush and upholstery surface, but its compatibility list does not include IZ373H even though the IZ373H in-box list names a Pet Multi-Tool. The exact supplied type is supported by the product page; the precise replacement-tool SKU remains an unresolved manufacturer-listing conflict. Check the delivered item and ask Shark or the seller before ordering that part separately.

Above-floor cleaning starts with detaching the handheld vacuum and fitting the named tool. The product page lists a straight wand, not a flexible one. If reaching under furniture without moving the chair or sofa is central, compare the IZ382H, whose exact package and series guide support MultiFLEX reach. A straight wand is simpler, but it will not hinge down to follow a low gap. The 10.4-inch figure is a cleaning path; Shark also lists product dimensions, but neither figure is a separately confirmed outer nozzle-width measurement for a tight-space limit.

One pack and a manually emptied cup

The exact IZ373H table lists one battery and a 0.8-quart dust cup. The series guide names IZ373H among models using Shark’s XSBT600 pack and describes a full charge of about three hours. Shark’s headline runtime is up to 50 minutes, explicitly measured at the hand vacuum in standard mode. That is not a guarantee of 50 minutes with the powered floor nozzle on carpet, nor does the single included pack provide a quick second-pack handoff. The IZ382HBAT is a more relevant comparison if a second battery in the box is essential; its package is not an upgrade to the IZ373H, but a distinct model package in the Flex Reveal Plus family.

No automatic-emptying dock appears in the IZ373H box list. Empty the on-board cup yourself and leave room for filter care. The exact page specifies pre-motor felt and washable foam filters plus a post-motor HEPA filter. The Shark-authored family guide tells owners to rinse filters with water only and let them dry for at least 24 hours before reinstalling. Its HEPA/Anti-Allergen Complete Seal statement is Shark’s ASTM F1977 claim for particles 0.3 microns and larger; the company defines allergens in that claim as non-living matter. It is a published specification, not a medical promise or independent indoor-air test.

Where the published numbers stop

Shark lists 7.03 pounds but does not identify the weighed configuration. It therefore cannot establish a strict assembled-stick carry limit for stairs or overhead work. The page lists a 10.4-inch cleaning path, not a confirmed physical housing width. Keep both facts separate from the measured thresholds you might need in a narrow closet or for a person who must lift the whole machine. The five-year limited warranty and two-year parts warranty are published on the product page; check the current terms and eligible seller before purchase.

Choose IZ373H when the named Pet Multi-Tool and automatic mixed-floor brushroll adjustment suit your regular route, and you do not need a bending wand, a second battery, automatic disposal or proven assembled carry weight. Choose IZ382H for the Flex Reveal Plus package’s hard-floor-only Dirt-Reveal and bending wand, or IZ382HBAT when the extra battery is the important carton difference. A pet label alone is not proof of a powered sofa brush, a larger bin, or a particular runtime on carpet.
