Crazy suction!
I bought this 3 weeks ago and I was concerned I might being spending too much money for a vacuum that wasn't going to be worth it. Well, let me tell you; it was worth every penny spent.

I’ve had the Shark Stratos for a couple months now. I’ve been questioning if it’s just skimming the top of carpet or actually getting dog hair out. I vacuumed good three hours before my Thanksgiving company, my Grandkids were playing on the carpeted floor in my family room and tons of hair balled up and was left all over the floor. I was disgusted and so disappointed. I...

Excellent customer service
Excellent customer service! Vacuum is very good! Only thing I would change would be to add a light for the wand!

Solid performer
The vacuum does very well overall. I have two things that could use improvement. My precious shark has a light on the wand when using the crevice tool or fabric tool, I miss that on this model. The other minor thing is after winding the cord then removing the canister to dump the cord slips in the way while putting it back on, the older model did not have this happen. J...

Great vacuum for the price
I bought the Shark Stratos about a month ago. I love it. It was easy to assemble. The Stratos is easy to change from bare floor to long carpet as you work your way through the house. The removal filter to allow for vacuuming under low items is very easy to do. It picks up cat fur with no problem as well as the fine dust. The dirt ben is easy to remove and dump. The only...

Great for those with pets!
Exactly what I needed! I have a white Boxer and black carpet (wonderful combination, I know!) and this vacuum picks up EVERYTHING!

Another great Shark product.
This is another Shark classic. Rugged and well performing. Missed out on the 5th star for 2 reasons. 1. A bit on the heavy side. 2. The introduction of a consumable part in the form of the air freshener. I would rather not have a lifetime commitment to buying air freshener.

Stratos is nothing but issues.
Blows hair and dirt all over front the vent in front which settles immediately as if I didn't even sweep. Hose is so short it falls over all the time when barely reaching toward corner. Not light weight at all. Overall just simply upsets me when I use it. Wish I had returned it from the start. Which is my own unfortunate mistake. Spent $400 for nothing but a huge annoya...

Happy with it
Love how it detached so I can vacuum under things. It has great suction .It is noticeably heavier than my last Shark vacuum and the cord seems shorter.

Powerful SHARK vacuum

Beast Mode!
Picked this up on a friend's recommendation after they switched from Dyson. The first two passes across our "clean" carpet told the whole story. Our 12 year old Hoover wasn't even touching most of the dirt that the Stratos found. Extremely impressed with the weight, suction, beaters, drive and manueverability.

Can’t be repaired when stuff clogs up brush
Very unhappy with this machine. Worked well until head got too much pet hair in it. It is designed with lots of tiny screws that require an oddball torx bit - I ended up stripping one of the screws and was not able to get it apart without breaking the plastic. This wasn’t just bad design, it was planned obsolescence. I get that any vacuum will eventually get jammed up i...

Horrible for pet hair
Purchased 10 months ago and the roller stopped working. It was an absolute nightmare to take apart to unclog the roller. Hair gets wrapped around both ends of the roller. Star type screws are used so we had to go to the hardware store for that. Some screws barely came out. After hours of disassembling, I was unable to fix it because one end of the roller that was clogge...

The best vacuum!
I love my new vacuum! It works so much better than any other vacuum I’ve ever used. I can transition so easily from vacuuming the carpet to using the wand for the baseboards. I would definitely recommend this vacuum. It’s makes cleaning so easy.

Self cleaning brush roller replacement design flaw
I bought this November 2024. It works great! Easy to maneuver and makes vacuuming an easy job.
My problem with it is the self cleaning brush roller with fins.
While it does its job with dog hair and everything else, the FINS ON THE ROLLER DEGRADE.
I just got off the phone with customer support and you can't just replace the roller. You have to buy a whole new head par...

I like the power, but don't love this vacuum.
We like the stratos, but we don't love it. However, Shark did awesome w the warranty on the old one. A) The hose is not long enough/too stiff so it's really difficult to use some of the attachment w/o removing the canister - the vacuum will easily tip over. B) the pet hair pick up feature in a home w 3 dogs & 3 cats is actually a pain, as we have to take that roller off...

Worst Purchase Ever!
A couple years ago I traded in my beloved Shark upright vacuum for what I thought would be a new and improved version. I purchased the shark Stratos. Everytime I use my new vacuum, I hate it more and more! My biggest frustration is the hose! It's not long or flexible enough. I end up getting bruises all over my legs from the base knocking all around while I'm using the ...
