Shark AZ3002 Stratos Upright Vacuum with DuoClean PowerFins, HairPro, Powered Lift-Away, Self-Cleaning Brushroll, & Odor Neutralizer Technology, Navy

We like the power but this vacuum is much heavier than you would think it should be. So far its working as advertised against hair. Maneuvering is more difficult than some weve used - the twisting requires significant wrist strength.

Can not get over how much pet hair this picks up! This is our 3rd Shark lift away and it is the best one ever! Highly recommend it to anyone with pets.

Ok, this thing is absolutely OUTSTANDING. We vacuumed the whole house with our Dyson dc33. Now granted, that one is 10 years old already, but their claim of never loses suction is just false. It HAS to lose it. Within the last few months, we replaced the hose, brush roller, filters and belts. After doing the whole house, we did it AGAIN with the new shark. It filled the canister-TWICE! Suction is amazing. Different modes for different floor types of a flick of a switch on the handle, so super easy to switch between floor types. Easy to push, turns great, doesnt weigh much, the lift away makes steps SUPER easy, and the roller does not hold hair! We have 2 huskys in the house, so long hair is INSANE. And we still have nothing wound around the brush head. Really the only complaint is the cord is like, stupid short. Only reason for 4 stars. I have a central outlet that let me do my whole house with my Dyson. Now I need to switch outlets 3 or 4 times to do my house. Kind of annoying, but nothing an extension cord cant fix. Either way, I couldnt recommend this vaccum enough!

Long story short: I highly recommend this vacuum. I am in love with it. So much love. All the love. Long story long: My Dyson broke and cost too much to repair (1). Commence my deep dive into all the vacuums: cost, quality, availability near me here in Alaska (2). I decided to go with this shark and hallelujah!! It is working well on all the rugs, carpets, tile, and even occasionally on the hard wood floors (3). Let me back up and say that I love a clean home. I NEED a clean home. I also love chaos (4); Single mom, two bio babies-turned toddlers-turned big kids (5), teenage foster boys, grownup foster kiddos returning home during the pandemic, quarantines galore, neighborhood kids in and out, and two mini-poodle puppies including one litter of puppies. My bedroom carpet was, by my standards, epically disgusting. I splurged and got a professional carpet cleaner. They came and went and I was not impressed. I vacuumed as soon as I could. AND LOOK!!!! No more than 24 hours after the professional carpet cleaners came this vacuum got all that nasty business up in just that tiny little area. And they were 24 kid free hours! The end. 1) Lesson learned: I get my own vacuum and the kids have another vacuum. Theirs is much cheaper. 2) While I try as much as possible to shop local, I can not deny the time and money Jeff can save me. 3) If you’re judging me for using it on my hardwood floors then we are not friends. 4) *Loved chaos. Working really hard to quit it. 5) Now 6 & 10 years old.

Good vacuum with powerful suction power. I just wish it there was a way to decrease the suction power doing kitchen and bathroom rugs. Like the other Shark vacuums, I have had in the past. The vent like thing. Other than that good vacuum. Always buy Shark....

I’ve always been a SHARK vacuums fan and this vacuum is amazing!

This monster has great suction but its big and hard to maneuver. Im still having to use my old reliable canister vacuum for corners, tight spaces and to get under things. Its particularly hard to push if youre against the grain on rugs. After vacuuming my 3K sq ft house I feel like Ive been in a match with a sumo wrestler. If youre using it on big open spaces it really gets the dirt out but if youre looking for maneuverability and need to get under and around tight spaces you might want to avoid this machine. Its BIG and heavy.

This is the BEST vacuum we have ever had, including our Dyson. We are shocked at how much more pet hair and dust it picks-up. The removable dust can allows me to use the stick portion of the vacuum to get under beds and furniture easily. I highly recommend the Shark Vertex.

What a difference this vacuum has made. In the past I would have to dust every day, dust so thick you could write your name in it and this happened even when vacuuming every day. This vacuum fixed the problem. I love it!! It is so easy to switch from bare floor to rug cleaning. The rug cleaning works great also. Vacuum is a little heavy but it is a great trade off for the suction. The only thing I do not like is the hair wrapping around the small rubber tires in the front of the vacuum. I have a constantly shedding border collie and cat and hair is everywhere. When I vacuum the hair winds around the small rubber wheel axles. I have to clean it out by using tweezers. I hope the future models of Shark have an easier way to clean this wheels.

My old Shark APEX had a malfunctioning powerhead after two years of extremely heavy pet home use. I loved it and it would suck up small children if they got in the way! Couldnt get a new powerhead due to supply issues and really needed another vacuum in our three dog household. I decided on a new model, the Shark SRATOS, which was supposed to be as powerful and comparable to my old APEX. Pros: Its not quite as heavy as my old APEX. Hair doesnt get stuck in the brushroll, so the self cleaning brushroll description is accurate. It has a very long cord which makes it easier to vacuum large spaces without unplugging and replugging. It came with a separate pet hair head for the removable hose (which I never have used). The Odor Neutralizing feature was okay, though other reviewers reported they couldnt get replacement cartridges. (I havent tried to order a new one yet) Cons: Out of the box I could tell it was not as high quality, even though it was a bit pricier than my old one. Its lighter weight, feels plasticy, and more cheaply made (the removable suction wand is starting to not click back in to the vacuum after 3 months of use). It doesnt suck up small items like gravel, popcorn kernels, pet food, wood chips (or children) like the APEX does. And while, as advertised, the rubber brushroll doesnt collect pet hair, somehow it gets stuck between the front of the vacuum and the plush brushroll which never happened on my old APEX. All in all, I do like it and would recommend it but if I hadnt owned an older (by only two years) model Shark this one wouldve gotten 5 stars instead of 4.
