Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this vacuum 2 days ago and already used it multiple times, and let me tell you, its a game changer. This vacuum has surpassed all my expectations. First off, the suction power is truly out of this world. I own Shark Rotator professional lift away ($200, great vac, but brush no longer works, had it for almost 10 years), Shark Rocket cordless ($200, it’s alright for light cleaning ), Shark Wandvac ($230, my greatest disappointment. Nice concept, however dust bin is so small and I’ve had it for 4 months and it looks like it lost power and it no longer empties itself like it suppose to), Roborock S5 Max ($550, I love it for the lines it leaves on a carpet, looks like freshly cut grass, it also has a mopping feature, but it is not high power vacuum either), none of these vacuums can compare to Stratos. It’s like having a mini-tornado in the palm of your hand. If you’re in the market for a vacuum, ESPECIALLY if you have pets and people with long hair in your home, look no further.

This vacuum sucks in all the right ways. I watched it pull dog hair from the corner almost 6 inches away. Excellent on my hardwood floors. It's a little heavy, but the strength payoff is worth it.

I've never used a better vacuum thank this one! At first, I was a little nervous about switching from one of those Dyson-like cordless stand-up stick vacuums. This one is corded and pretty big. But the suction that comes with a corded vacuum outperforms the suction of one wireless vacuum. This thing can pick up dog kibble, which is someone even my Dyson couldn't do (their products are terrible, honestly). As for the size, the removal dustbin makes up for that, especially when attempting to clean tighter areas like under armoires and dressers. I have wooden floors. They're a bit untreated and worn, so things get into the crevices. I used to spend so much time scraping those cracks, but this vacuum's suction power gets it all for me now. Honestly, a 5/5 product. No complaints what so ever.

Our old Bissell pet vacuum died today after we cleaned our first floor, so we needed to find a new vacuum. After careful consideration, we chose this vacuum based on it having the strongest suction to capture pet hairs and allergens. As soon as we brought this bad boy home, we tested it out over our already “vacuumed” floors and the dust tank was already half full. There is something so satisfying with vacuuming when you can feel, hear, and see the suction actually working. Our carpet looks and feels so much cleaner. By far, this is the best vacuum I have ever used.

This vacuum has very strong suction power. I used my old vacuum first which is an older Shark model that I loved also. However, this one exceeded my expectations. Will refer to others

I’ve owned many expensive vacuums over the years, and the Shark Stratus Upright Vacuum has honestly impressed me just as much—if not more—than some of the high-end brands I’ve tried. It’s especially great for homes with pets. It picks up pet hair quickly and efficiently, even from carpets and rugs where hair usually gets embedded. I also use this vacuum regularly in my Airbnbs, and it has held up well with frequent use, which says a lot about its durability. Another thing I really like is how well it works on all floor types. It transitions smoothly from carpet to hard floors without losing suction, and it leaves everything looking clean in one pass most of the time. Overall, this vacuum has been a great investment. It’s powerful, reliable, pet-friendly, and performs just as well as many of the more expensive vacuums I’ve owned.

I bought a Shark Stratus Powered Lift a Way. I love the job it does vacuuming the dirt out of my thick carpet. I can adjust suction height when vacuuming floors with no carpet. I quickly learned how to steer vacuum by the turning of my wrist. To top things off I purchased it during a sale Best Buy was running!

My other shark had seen its better days so i got this as replacement. So far im not disappointed. It seems to have a little more suction power than older model. Balance not so good but i said i think that men must design shark vacuum cleaners. They can contact me and i will give them some helpful tips on how to improve their product. It still does great job cleaning even pet hair. So im happy

easy set up. Great vacuum section very easy to operate.

It's a seriously powerful floor cleaner, the cord reaches both bedrooms and the living room easily, and the filter really does a great job with odors. I'm pretty happy with it overall. It *is* a beast to carry around though, way heavier than my old Dyson V10, which was much lighter and smaller.

This vacuum has so much suction! Everything about this vacuum is great: from the brush roller which I’ve only had to clean out once (not due to hair getting stuck on roller like the Dyson) to the ability to lift it away and reach underneath furniture as well as the ability to modularity use the hose and attachments. The only thing I wish the vacuum has is a longer hose, but it is understandable why it doesn’t. The amount of debris/dirt this picks up compared to my 10 year old Dyson is incredible and a little disturbing. I’ve always been told that you shouldn’t get your wife or Mother a vacuum as a gift, but this vacuum is an exception to the rule!!

We have a rainbow vaccuum, but bought this for quick cleaning in between. Used 3 times and a cheap plastic piece has malfunctioned when removing & returning the lift away option. It performs well with suction, but a cheap plastic piece will ruin the whole set-up. We will see how this is handled, but this is a pivotal moment with this brand and with Best Buy concerning our patronage and support. Ill come back here and let you know if they stand tall. Owned 3 months, used 3 times, cost 3 Benjamins.

I could not believe the dirt this vacuum took off my hardwood floors and couches. It has excellent suction. I have owned several vacuums but this one is by far the best one yet.

This shark vacuum cleaner is a perfect machine for all my home carpets cleaning. Powerful, durable , and easy to use.

I like the ease of cleaning the vacuum as well as the ease of vacuuming. It has lots of suction pressure. I’m quite pleased with my purchase

This is the fourth shark vacuum I have had. I have tried dyson's, bessels, Hoovers other top brands. And the sharks just continue to blow me away and this model blow my mind. The simplicity the powor where they put the power button finally really someone put it it in finger reach and i dont have to worry about my 1 year old nephew or my two-year-old. And I mean, they make such a mess and stuff that I suck up with this vacuum is unbelievable. It's the most money I've ever spent on a vacuum. But it's well worth it well, that's not true. The Dyson was twice the price. But it was so horrible that I took that back. But I am definitely keeping this.

Love the power this vacuum has, emptying is extremely easy. Has so many options on ways to use. You are able to remove the canister and just use the pole to reach under low places.

Best vacuum I've even had. Works very well and is easy to use

Never realized how bad my old vacuum was, I vacuumed 2 days before and then this vacuum was delivered. I put it together which was pretty easy for me. Started it up and vacuumed again. Wow my old Dyson from 2017 was defiantly ready to be retired and replaced by this one. My carpets were so dirty that I had to empty the canister just from vacuuming the living room which is a medium size room. Its a nice machine with plenty of pickup power and will pull you some I have experienced so be ready. Nice swivel function is a great feature & I like the detachable canister to be able to vacuum with it separate so you can reach under the table and bed without hitting it. Also very easy to vacuum the steps too. Overall 10/10 for my rating but we will see how it holds up over the next few years. Down side that is not a big problem but is a caution to watch out for. "This machine has a lot of pickup power so with that it takes a bit of power. I had 2 air conditions going when I hit the power button and it tripped the breakers."

Great Vacuum and Tackles anything.. Also use as a Suction for packing / storing close and clean my car in the garage.
