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

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....

Got this to replace our Dyson. We have 4 cats and a German shepherd. This thing is awesome and being able to take it apart allowed me to vacuum under beds that had years of hair built up underneath. And the febreez scent that it puts out while vacuuming is great. Definitely recommend.

This is my second Shark Vertex Powered Lift-Away Upright Vacuum with DuoClean PowerFins. My other is still working. However, there was a great deal on this one, and I decided to buy just in case. I first want to mention that I have had to call a few times in the last 5 years about my original vacuum, and shark came through every time! They are easy to contact. They offer on the spot video technical support and then if they need to send out replacement parts, they are delivered within a week. Secondly, I own a Newfoundland dog and if you know anything about the breed, you will understand that a clean freak will be vacuuming every single day! Their hair is super long and it is NO JOKE you will have hair like you could never believe hair. This is the only vacuum that does the job! Ive tried cheaper brands, but poor Hudson Douglas kills them or they just cant even do it! Great vacuum! Great warranty program! Totally worth the price! Only neg on my review is the pet attachment! I dont like it, and it definitely needs improvements. My original one is fantastic but this one I dont think does a good job with hair... I think they tried to save money when they designed the pet attachment!

This is better than that $2 harlot in Vegas! Doesn’t stop sucking!

I need to start by talking about my old vacuum cleaner, which was an Oreck, my second one. It weighs only 8 lbs, and cleaned pretty well ... or so I thought. The Oreck is old and the company doesnt want to service it, but Ive continued to use it until it just wasnt cutting it for me anymore. Didnt want to dish out that kind of money again, so I went on Consumer Reports and did my research. The Shark Stratos is one of their highest-ranking conventional upright vacuum cleaners (i.e., not a stick vacuum). I just vacuumed about 5 days ago. I fired up the Shark and I was dumbfounded when the canister was half full of dog hair, sand, dust, and red clay. If it was only about the cleaning ability, Id give this vacuum a five-star rating. But this thing is exactly twice as heavy as my Oreck and I find it difficult to maneuver. I will get used to that because of the level of clean. I also like that you can pop the canister off the running machine so you can sweep under things.

I’ve owned or used all the major brands over the years and have even owned two Kirby brand vacuums. This is so much better. Easier to empty than a Dyson. Better for hardwood floors than any other, it doesn’t kick out bits to the side or leave anything behind like my Dyson stick did. Better for carpet/rugs because unlike many vacuums you have a bleed valve that allows for pile height or backing. The ease of use and multiple ways to configure means I can actually vacuum my hardwood stairs, get underneath the beds, and in corners without stoping and starting. I love the mini rotating tool, it gets the pet hair and doesn’t clog. This vacuum can do it all. I may get another for upstairs just so I don’t have to carry it up and down, although it isn’t a problem because it isn’t too heavy (throwing shade at you Kirby)

As a housekeeper, I totally recommend it!!

We have 2 Shelties and vacuums have been short lived and ineffective in our house. The dog hair stops the rollers and clogs the works. The Shark Stratos is a miracle machine. It got a ton of dust and hair out of a carpet that was just vacuumed with our old machine and no hair wrapped around the rollers. The dustbin is free of clogs as well. I love that the controls are right at the top of the handle. It is very maneuverable and did great on hardwood and carpet.

I LOVE this vacuum! There are so many ways to use this vacuum thats makes it so convenient. I can detach the front where the dust and hair go and get under my bed, couch, cabinets... etc. I love the light in front of the vacuum that allows me to visibly see the pet hair on the floor. The suction is a 10/10 it has a powerful suction. 10/10 would recommend if youre looking for a GREAT vacuum

This is my first Shark, and Ive never owned a Dyson, but I do have 6 house cats and 2 horses and a plethora of chickens and turkeys, so the dirt tracked into my house is on a daily basis is in the overwhelming amount! FWIW, only the cats have access to the house, not the other critters, and only 2 go out on a semi-regular basis, so this is all about accumulated hair rather than dust/dirt underfoot as I change shoes at the door. I will say that it got the entrance mats by the doors almost as clean as power washing them, which was amazing as they are ribbed pile, not flat! the other vacuum wouldnt touch that. I bought this to combat the cat litter tracked and the hair, and sanitize the air, as I have allergy issues. I have mostly hard floors, a few area rugs, and an un-carpeted staircase that has been a huge problem with hair blobs. I have 100% woven wool area rugs in the living room, they are deep pile and have been a problem to get clean from the beginning, not to mention that they also shed! Here is how I rate the Shark: Suction is 100%, bare floor cleaning 100%, area rugs on pile setting and they are 80% clean. Some of that is probably because the rugs are old and need repeated vacuuming to get *all* the dirt out of them. I used the lift away feature to vacuum the corners of the rooms and it was long enough to reach, but just barely. Under furniture? NO problem! Basically I dont have to dust mop any longer as the floor finish roller does a great job of getting the dust up, too. The hand tools are powerful, I have slip covers on several pieces of furniture, and the power brush is too strong it can suck up the material making it hard to vacuum. So I use the un-powered brush attachment and that works great. The only thing that Im missing is a little mesh bag for organizing the extra attachments. For $350-$400, Shark should come up with a free bag for their customers. And, do yourself a favor and order the spare filters, they come in handy. I have to change mine each time I use it to get the best air quality. I simply rinse and dry the filters that come out and reuse them.
