Customer Ratings & Reviews

This vacuum makes cleaning our house very easy. We've used several uprights, and this one may be the best at handling all the different surfaces in our house. We have a good variety of flooring to put it to work on too. We have hard woods, tile, carpet and several styles of rugs. Speaking of which, it handles our shag-style rug better than any other vacuum we've used. Typicality maneuvering over that shag rug is difficult, since the vacuum wants to either suck up the shag, or it's not strong enough to clean it. This one seems to be great at both. It also works very well on our stairs by using the attachments and removing the "pod", instead of carrying the entire vacuum up and down the stairs. My wife also appreciates the headlights on the front of the vacuum, since not all come with those, and it can definitely help to see things you may otherwise miss. It would be nice to have a small light on the handle though as well, to light up smaller or hard to reach areas when you're not using the main brush roller part. Another great thing about this vacuum is the air cleaner. It makes areas cleaned seem fresh and smell nice. While it never felt overpowering to us, it also has the option to dial down the amount that is used. It really is a nice addition that I'm surprised I haven't heard or seen this before. Setup and the mild assembly required when first using the vacuum is very simple too. Which also applies to maintenance. Every place that could possibly need maintenance is easily accessible to clean or replace if need be. It seems like it's built to last. We also haven't had any hair or fuzz wind around the main roller yet either, which is probably worth it for this vacuum alone. Pros: easy setup, powerful vacuuming, not tangled hair or fuzz, nice addition of air freshening, easy to maneuver even in typically difficult surfaces Cons: no light on handle (this is pretty much the only negative I could find with this vacuum)

Im in love with this vacuum it literally picks up everything and leaves my house smelling fresh and i love that im able to remove the bin and get into the crevices that the vacuum cant reach

Great vacuum, used in on carpet after using our old one and it picks up a lot more fine embedded dirt from carpet. The new roller is noticeable better in picking up dog hair or our carpets. The electrical cord is much longer than our other vacuum, we can reach the entire 1st floor by using just two outlets. Our other vacuum we had to use 4.

No regrets.. definitely the most powerful vacuum cleaner I’ve owned. After the first use it let me know that my previous vacuum cleaner retired way before it quit on me. I’ve had many other name brand vacuums and none compare with this one. Way to go Shark!

Great item, happy with it. Works very good as described lot of power

Works great, strong suction, and really easy to maneuver.

I needed to replace my dyson (had it 4 years and the vacuum head stopped spinning) i used my geek squad protection and got the value of my dyson to put towards a new vacuum (SO USEFUL!) i did some research about best vacuums for pets, carpets- low and high, this one really caught my eye, it has all the attachments that i will actually use, the sucking power is great and the unit is not too heavy, the canister detaches easily for getting hard to reach places. It is a little on the nosier side of vacuums I've had but the end result is worth it! Very happy with my purchase.

I like my new vacuum cleaner. As I am 79 yrs old it took me a little while to get used to the way it moves when you are pushing the main wand to pick up the dirt. I quickly figured out that it is helpful to get the dirt by using different angles. It works really well and I am liking it a lot. It is nice to see the dirt go into the canister so I know I am actually getting my carpet clean.

This vacuum delivers excellent suction power that handles everything from fine dust to embedded pet hair on both carpets and hard floors. The motor provides consistent, strong performance that gets the job done without multiple passes over the same area.

I purchased the Shark - Stratos Upright Vacuum with DuoClean PowerFins HairPro, Self-Cleaning Brushroll, Odor Neutralizer Technology - Navy for its suction power, and because of Shark vacuums we purchased in the past. They are high quality, backed by a great warranty, and they work better than the competition. This vac is by far Sharks best to date. It works exceptionally well cleaning up litter from our three cats, and works even better on general floor dirt. I would highly recommend this vac even though it is on the heavy side, but is well balanced, and works effortlessly. You will not be disappointed, especially if you have pets.

My old Shark unit of almost 10 years had a plastic piece bust on me, affecting its direction. Although this happened, the motor kept on performing excellently...much to my pets dismay. Instead of becoming frustrated with each stroke of the unit, I knew it was time for a new vacuum. Best Buy offered many different brands on sale but Shark's are the best for performance and quality. You won't be disappointed EVER.

Excellent suction and have not had an issue with hair getting caught in rollers. Only issue is how bulky and heavy it is. Overall great vacuum cleaner!!

Excellent in power and mobility. But a little heavy.

I absolutely love this vacuum it picks up everything and anything and we'll go over it a deep shag rug without any problems.

It has strong suction. Love the brush head. Picks up hair swiftly. It is heavy to maneuver but the job it does is what counts.

Does a great job. A little noisy for my taste, 'driving' it takes a bit of learning curve.

Best ever!!! in my opinion the shark vacuums are the best vacuums ever! I’ve bought three of them. They all work excellent.

Couldn’t ask for a better vacuum cleaner it has more power than most vacuum, cleaners and it does a great job of cleaning. It’s lightweight and easy to use.

Great vacuum. Great suction. Multifunctioning. Only complaint, is a lack of attachements.

This Shark Stratos vacuum is in a class above the rest! The absolute best vacuum I've ever owned. Beyond powerful suction on all types of flooring. Easy to assemble & use. Self cleaning brushroll is awesome. I have had many other high end vacuums & none of those can compare to this one.
