    Don't waste your money. Quality down, price up.

    Don't waste your money. We bought this to replace an older shark (maybe 3 years old and we paid around $350), it doesn't even come close to our previous model. It feels very cheap, the pet attachment is junk. I don't know what shark was thinking or why they decided to compromise their quality. We are loyal to shark products but this one is definitely not worth it.

    Had this for just over a year now and the fins on the brush are worn out/busted. Shark does not sell replacements for this part and wants me buy an entire vacuum "head" for over $100. Will definitely not be buying a shark again.

      Hi dear customer,

      Thank you for sharing your experience with the Shark Stratos Upright Vacuum. We're sorry to hear the brushroll fins have worn out and that replacement parts were not readily available. We understand how frustrating it is when a single component affects the usability of the entire vacuum.

      Your feedback is important and will be shared with our team as we continue working to improve both product longevity and part accessibility. If you'd like us to take another look at available support options or need help identifying compatible parts, please feel free to contact us at 1-855-427-5127.

      Kind regards,
      Shark Clean

    Randomly won't power on

    This vacuum would otherwise be the best one we've bought (with shedding pets and all) we've been through a lot of vacuums. Unfortunately, it randomly will not turn on or show any power whatsoever. We've tried many different outlets, cleaned it, the whole 9 yards, and nothing. A few days later, it turns on like nothing was ever wrong. This has happened twice now. Far too expensive for something you cannot use at all times.

    I’m pretty disappointed with this vacuum and I usually love Shark products. The biggest problem is that it’s not self propelled so for an old lady like me, my shoulder was pretty sore after vacuuming. Also, my previous model had a light when I used the wand-this one doesn’t. It picks up ok, I would have returned it but I missed the return window. Now I’m stuck with it.

    I was really excited about this machine as all the reviews were great. I traveled 100 miles round trip to pick this vacuum up. When I got it home and put it together and pushed the start button it wouldn't start. Tried a different outlet, wouldn't start. Brought it back to the store, for a exchange and had the associate open the new vacuum box to make sure it would run, Nope. Same problem. Wouldn't run. No power at all. $500.00 piece of junk. Who ever is in charge of Quality control needs to be re trained. No one wants to pay this kind of money for something that won't even turn on. SHARK, are you listening?

    Could be made with less plastic materials. For the price, quality could've been better. Does pick up very well tho. My old one lasted 6yrs, I know this one wont.

    Worst shark vacuum I have purchase. For the price is retail I expected something like the old sharks but better! After 4 months of using this, the soft brush stop rolling and because of it, it doesn’t have sufficient suction. Try calling because of the warranty but I have to pay $150 “because it only covers the motor NOT the parts” even tough it was bought back in February
