Easy to use
I've purchased several Shark products and I love them so I decided to take a chance with their Shark Stratos upright and I love it. It's easy to use, it's got plenty of suction and I love the fact that it adjusts to floor height, i.e., carpet to floor and vice versa. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Wish I could give 0 stars, don't purchase
Purchased this vacuum in June of 2024 and thankfully I paid extra for an extended warranty. In the 18 months that I've owned it, it has needed repair four times. Twice the DuoClean PowerFins HairPro seized and stopped working. Both times Shark advised me that the replacement of this part was NOT covered by their warranty and that there was a charge to replace it. I...

DO NOT RECOMMEND, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE PETS!!!!!
Worst vacuum ever. Do NOT recommend if you have pets. It cannot keep up. Constantly clogs and the fin ripped. For being a self cleaning brush tool, it does a horrible job. I've barely had it a year and regret ever purchasing it. I should have just bought another Shark Rotator. At least that lasted a few more years before it started clogging up.

Love the way it picks up everything. It has great suction, and is very quiet! We have a long haired dog so this vacuum will certainly be helpful as far as picking up the fur.

Versatile
I love the versatility of this vacuum. I'm able to use it on my hardwood, tile, area rug and high pile carpet with the switch of a button. I'm able to easily maneuver it under furniture by using lift away mode and cob webs don't stand chance with the long wand and attachments. It easily keeps up with my two young children and German Shepherd. A little on the heavy side ...

Excellent Vacuum!!
I love this vacuum. The suction is phenomenal and it picks up dirt, dust, and pet hair better than any vacuum I have owned. I have carpeted stairs and bedrooms upstairs and luxury vinyl plank floors downstairs, and it handles everything with ease.
The cord length is excellent. I can vacuum large areas without constantly unplugging and moving outlets. The Lift Away featu...

Terrible design flaw - cannot remove obstructions
You can’t remove the brush cover and clear obstructions. The small brush roll at the front comes out for cleaning, but the main brush area is not accessible. If you have small kids with toys that may get inadvertently run over and jamb the brush mechanism, this vacuum is trash to you.
We’ve bought Shark products for over 10 years, and each generation of their products ...

Hi there, Thank you for sharing your experience. It sounds like you’ve been a loyal Shark customer and were excited about this upgrade, so it’s disappointing to hear it hasn’t met your expectations, especially with the heavy shedding from your Great Pyrenees and Anatolian mix. Those breeds can definitely put a vacuum to the test! The issues you mentioned with the fin and brushroll clogging are not what we want for your cleaning routine. Thank you again for your feedback. It’s invaluable in helping us improve for pet owners like you. Kind Regards, Shark Clean US.

Powerfull
One day before using this vacuum cleaner for the first time, I did some cleaning with my old vacuum, and this is everything I picked up with the Shark. It’s super powerful and left my floors and carpets very clean. It’s a bit heavy, but I used it for about 30 minutes and didn’t end up too tired. I liked it—good purchase and a great discount.

Good Condo Session
I have a 525 sq. ft. Condo, so this meets my needs for Cleaning, Versatility, and Storage. I like that I can get the accessories I want for my needs. And filters/ HEPA as needed.
I would recommend this to a friend. I scored a total of 52% off for Black Friday.

Purchased this a month ago and overall very pleased. Replacing an older shark upright that we ran the wheels off of. Comparing the two the only part I like better about the older unit is the wand has a LED light when removed from the main unit and the New unit does not.
