Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to assemble. Great power on all types of floors.

Thus vacuum works really well and the air freshener is a nice touch.

More suction power doesn't quite beat out traditional rollers(but no more cleaning rollers every week is a huge plus as i vacuum 2-3x a day) Pros. Tangle free sk far easy to clean cobwebs and baseboard/crevices. Easy to do stairs with Pretty decent cleaning power. No typical vacuum smell Easy to use Long cord Large holding tank Took maybe 5 mintues tops to assemble without using instructions. Cons. Price Doesn't clean our shag carpet quite as well as our shark navigator pet(but the difference isn't enough for us to be happy with the new upgrade, the old vaccume will still come out from time to time though, was hoping to give away the old vacuum) Heavier than expected, especially without the self propel option, but not unbearable. Still easy to use, just gives a little bit of a workout. People love the light, but i find it too dim to be useful. Cord and tool attachment locations are a pain and can make it a little difficult to reattach parts, but only a minor inconvenience. The handle hose is a bit on the short side, clould have easily been made a little longer. Not a fan of the fins vs the traditional rollers. Not self propelled. Even with all the cons, I still give it 4 stars, because they are minor cons. My navigator is 5 stars, but I still prefer this one even with a lower rating, because the new features make up for all the little very minor cons.

Extremely powerful. Does great job with Dog hair. We have three dogs and its the first vaccum that actually gets the hair off my couches. Slight learning curve with how to seperate all the parts but overrall easy to operate.

I love Shark vacuums... until around the 3rd year when they seem to start slowing down. This one came highly rated & I got the warranty so hopefully this wont be an issue. My floors look great, its a really powerful vacuum. It works twice as efficiently as the dyson i bought last year. I also like the air freshener addition to the base, it works!

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.

We purchased the Shark Stratos after our "other name brand" vacuum quit working. We are blown away by the performance difference! Despite vacuuming the whole house the previous day, our new Shark filled the entire debris bin in one use! The suction power that this device has is amazing and is great for pet hair (we have two cats and a dog). The added pet attachment works really well on upholstery. The unit is easy to empty and is lightweight for its size. We appreciate that there are different settings for different floor types! I'd highly recommend this to any pet owner looking for a quality vacuum!

This is a great product. I love that it has multiple setting for area room, think broadloom and hard floors. I don’t sweep so this gadget gets use daily. It is a little on the heavier side for a day to day clean but it does the job perfect. It has an odor pad that can be changed out so the machine doesn’t smell like pets for those who has fur babies. I do wish the hose had a bit more stretch to it, when you remove the crevice tool fo baseboards and such, the tightness in the hose cause the machine to tip so you had to be careful. Overall it’s a great vacuum and I’m very happy with the purchase.

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

WOW, I’m a long time Kirby fan and have had the same unit for 23 years. It recently broke down and I had to jump back into the Vacuum game and boy have things changed. I am absolutely impressed with the power of this thing and was surprised by the amount of fine dust particles this thing happens to find every time I run it! The features of this were impressive and super useful, while I do like to have the convenience of one thing that can do everything, even though I fixed up our old Kirby, we are keeping this unit because it is just too good. I’m very happy, so much so that after buying this we also purchased the Carpet cleaner which is also excellent. Great purchase and now it’s like I have a brand new sports car with this Shark Stratos and then an old fashioned t bird just under the cover in the garage. The Shark Stratos ease of use and features make it a great buy for our home anyway!

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

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 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)

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.

Excellent in power and mobility. But a little heavy.

This model rocks. We have a older model that needed retirement. We have a large lab that should be bald and this unit really seams to be grabbing all the magical hairs that float around. It was bought as a present for my wife for Christmas (yes she requested it) and wow it really does its job. The downside is I haven't figured out tool placement yet maybe i need to look at the book better. I highly recommend this model especially if you have furry family it works on both hardwood floors and carpet. I haven't done our 2 flights of stairs yet and I'm thinking this may be a challenge as its a larger unit than our last but thats a minor inconvenience for me yes i do the vacuum work when i can. Definitely a 5 star product

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.

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.

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

The best vacuum cleaner I've ever bought. It looks simple, but it vacuums carpets brilliantly, leaving them looking like new. It picks up all the cat hair and all the dirt. I'm thrilled!
