    BEST VACUUM EVER! Dont think twice when comparing to other models. The suction is unmatched and the different ways to unhook and use it making it lighter for stairs is amazing. This vacuum is multi-purpose to help you in any situation you may need it. It has a total of 3 different suction points; handheld suction, wand suction, and regular bottom suction. The odor neutralizer is also a nice touch that isn't overpowering and you are able to adjust the scent strength; the scent is very clean smelling!

    We have a cleaning company and this works perfectly! With floors and carpet, it has a feature that you can detach the whole body so you can get underneath furniture or small spaces, I only dislike one thing, that when you attach the hose to vacuum the edges it doesn’t have a light so you can’t see the hair balls unless you physically see it. But it sucks up everything! Never had a problem with it , we even have one for our home ! It’s flawless I’m just net picking but 100% recommend it !

    This is a game changer. The suction on the vacuum is the most I've ever experienced. The little thing like way the edges have a more effective bumper, the range of the headlight and the ease that it turns are an upgrade. I thought the filter would be a frivolous thing or would make me nauseous with a scent. Instead, I'm amazed at the lack of scent. I was unaware how much my old vacuum recycled my dogs smell into the air. It s easy to shift from my hardwood to the various rugs with ease. It is a little heavier than my last vacuum but it's negligible. The price is a sticker shock. It's the only downside.

    Worth it, proven in minutes. NO HAIR WRAP!

    This powerful vacuum arrived on a day that I had literally vacuumed the house. I figured I would test it out and see what it might pick up. After vacuuming only a 16 X 21 foot room, well I knew there was no use saving my 3 year old vacuum... Image showing the dirt in the tank was only after sweeping that one room, wow...and gross...I had to dump the tank twice through out the rest of the house. Those first few moments of use, had me knowing that this thing was worth it....but let's talk about it in more details. Right out of the box there is some assembly required. The manually has easy to follow step-by-step instructions and the pieces easily 'click' into place. Took less than 15 minutes to get everything out of the box and assembled to start cleaning! (Then again, my family calls me the professional assembler so your time may vary, haha) Two things from the advertisement pulled me in. 1) Strong suction and 2) self-cleaning brush roll for NO HAIR WRAP. The suction was already proven in the first few minutes of use, picking up what my other vacuum left behind. I do not have any pets inside the house, but I myself have long, thick hair which seems to follow me through the house and stick in the carpets. One of the things that I hate about normal vacuum heads is that hair gets caught in the brush wheel and is difficult to get out. As you can see in one of the images that the wheel doesn't have brushes like a normal vacuum. And I'm happy to say the image was taken after I vacuumed the rest of the house and bathroom rugs (that I missed this morning) that was covered with hair. Normally my old vacuum wheel would have been covered in the hair, this one didn't have a single hair tied up in it. Success at last! The vacuum can be used in multiple ways. All-together as a normal standup, detached from the tank (you hold the tank and vacuum under short areas like under couches/beds/hard to reach areas), and as a wand with attachments (not pictured, take the image vacuuming under the couch, the blue head would detach and become the wand). It's pretty light weight in comparison to other standups that I've had. There are three adjustment options for floors that includes high carpet, low carpet, and wood floors. An Odor Neutralizer that slips in the head, I can't say that I noticed a difference with this, it may be meant for households that have indoor pets. I also took it over to my grandparents house to test out picking up larger debris (they always have food on the floor after eating, haha). It picked up cornbread, shredded carrots, and cheerios with ease. Overall this thing blew my mind at what it picked up. The only thing that I wish it had was a little bit longer hose for when the tank is detached and used as a wand, but then again if it was too long it might get in the way when used as a standup. I completely recommend giving this thing a try, you won't regret it!

    This vacuum is incredible, especially for pet hair. I love the odor neutralization that keeps the air coming from the vacuum smelling fresh. This vacuum offers a wide variety of cleaning capabilities with the different attachments and the lift off of the canister. The headlight offers better visibility. I prefer Shark vacuums over other top brands, in both my manual vacuums and my robot vacuums.

    Blown away by the suction on this vacuum. It picked up everything and more. We clean each week but somehow it gathered half the bucket on dust on the first try. It is not as heavy as I expected - from reading the other reviews.

    Excellent vacuum from Shark!

    The Shark - Stratos Upright Vacuum with DuoClean PowerFins HairPro, Self-Cleaning Brushroll, Odor Neutralizer Technology is a joy to use! The assembly is very easy and took maybe 5 minutes to read the assembly instructions and completely assemble the vacuum. The parts are minimal, so anyone will be able to handle the assembly. The build quality feels solid and the vacuum is very easy to maneuver. The vacuum mode can easily be selected from the handle depending what surface your on. Hard floor, carpet / Low pile, and Thick carpet / area rug. Suction is excellent and picks up excellent. The ability to detach the vacuum unit from the body for doing things like stairs or ceilings with the detachable wand is great! This is the second Shark I've owned and they're both excellent vacuums. Definitely on par with the Dyson vacuums I've used. The odor neutralizer cartridge was easy to install, and the vacuum smelled good while vacuuming. You can adjust the level of scent that is released by turning the cartridge. The canister is easy to lift off for emptying and reattaches easily. There are 2 spots for attaching the 3 attachments that come with the vacuum, so you'll need to store one of them in a drawer when not using. The cord is plenty long at 30 feet and rolls up easy. The DuoClean PowerFins HairPro roller system works great for picking up hair and other debri. It keeps the hair from getting tangled in the roller also. One thing I love about the Shark vacuums is the easy access panels for clearing out anything that happens to get stuck in either the rollers or the wand. A lot of thought went into the design. The LED light on the vacuum is awesome for seeing things you wouldn't see without the light! Especially on hardwood floors! I definitely recommend the Shark brand and this vacuum to anyone looking for an excellent vacuum!

    This vacuum has incredible suction power. The lift away feature is very handy when doing stairs and vacuuming under furniture. It's very easy to release the wand for hand vacuuming and cleaning out the canister. Its very agile and moves with ease. I don't find it heavy for a full sized corded vacuum, however, I am an able bodied reasonably healthy 40 year old. The freshener cartridge has a pleasant, non lingering scent.

    Awesome vacuum! Clumsy, but strong! With its large container it tends to be a little top heavy and wants to lean to whichever side you're steering towards. But, other than that this thing has the best suction I've seen since my Mom's Kirby. The rollers are truly hair shedding... I have daughters and that's the #1 complaint I've had with ALL of our vacuums! NOT THIS ONE :) Whats cool is the hairs get spun up on top of the cone filter and it's easy to remove the wad when emptying the container!! The 2nd best feature I love it's the ability to vacuum both out carpets and hard floors! Now my Dyson stick stays in the pantry! Definitely recommend to all my family and friends!

    This one isnt as good at the vertex and is heavier. The suction is great but whenever you take the wand out it doesnt stay into place you really have to click it together hard.

    Move over, mundane vacuum cleaners – the Shark has entered the cleaning arena like a stealthy ninja on a mission to annihilate dust bunnies and crumbs! This vacuum is so powerful; it practically inhales everything in its path. I dropped a Cheerio, and before I could say “vacuum,” it vanished into the abyss. I suspect the Shark has a side gig as a magician – making dirt disappear faster than you can say “clean freak.” The suction power is so intense; I accidentally vacuumed up my neighbor’s Wi-Fi signal. Now my internet is faster, and the Shark is probably streaming Netflix in its secret lair. Bonus points for multitasking! Navigating with this vacuum is like watching a choreographed dance – it gracefully swivels around furniture, slides under tables, and does a pirouette around the cat without disturbing its beauty sleep. I half-expected it to leave a vacuum trail spelling out “clean” behind it. The attachments are like vacuum accessories from the future. There’s a pet hair brush that’s so effective; it convinced my neighbor to adopt a cat just for the thrill of using it. The crevice tool is the superhero of tight spaces – forget crumbs, it can probably vacuum up my excuses for not cleaning sooner. The only downside? My other appliances are now jealous. My blender tried to pick a fight, but the Shark just stared it down with those powerful LED headlights. It’s like having a vacuum with an attitude – in a good way. In conclusion, if you want a vacuum that sucks with style, agility, and a touch of superhero flair, the Shark is your cleaning companion. It’s not just a vacuum; it’s a cleaning superhero on a mission to save your floors, one dust particle at a time!

    Love my Shark Stratos! The suction is amazing and picks up every bit of dust, cat and dog hair. It transitions easily from hard floors to area rugs and plush carpeting. The odor neutralizer works wonders to combat nasty pet smells. It's well worth the investment.

    This is the best vacuum I have ever owned. I bought it to replace my 10-year-old Shark which I also loved. I was shocked how much more suction this Stratos has, and with a dog and 4 women in the house, the self-cleaning brushroll is amazing. Highly recommend!

    This is a good vacuum if you have pets. I love the hairless rollers, big improvement. It is a little loud, but sound it makes is not horrible. I give it 4 stars because the attachments on my old shark vacuum were better, but I kept them & they fit on this one so no biggie. Overall happy with my purchase.
