This is our second one of this vacuum.We have shelties and a few cats. This is the best vacuum we have had for sweeping up pet hair. Hair doesn't get tangledup in the rollers. Light and portable enough to use on our stars also.Only con is that you must empty it often as it doesn't hold a lot. Not really a big deal.

I’ve spent 25 years buying the cheap vacuums. I realized how stupid this was both for my wallet and the environment.So I bought a Dyson.And after the Dyson battery died in ten minutes, I called customer service and they said it usually lasts 7-8 so ten was great!So I returned the Dyson and asked my friends with pets which vacuums they recommended.Across the board maybe 20 people recommended Shark brand with no allegiance to a specific model. They all had great things to say about every model they owned.Why I ultimately chose the Stratos:1: I didn’t need a huge storage capacity. I only have one cat, no kids, and we’re relatively tidy. So the smaller storage canister didn’t bother me.2. Convenience of being cordless was nice but thanks to the crap dyson I knew I’d rather unplug/plug in and maneuver a cord than spend time conning my executive dysfunction into vacuuming only to have the battery die. I don’t need all that. Give me the cord.3. I don’t need a lot of attachments and what it came with was good enough for us. HOWEVER: I wouldn’t have been disappointed with one of those bristle duster brushes.4. I needed something that was going to pick up litter and sand. This model has a stronger motor than other models, so I picked this one with the idea that more power equals more suction.Let me tell you how it has exceeded my basic needs and expectations:1. IT IS SELF PROPELLED. Yeah. Did I miss that in the description? Because it is. It’s already easy af to use but on medium pile carpet it is so much easier than any vacuum I’ve used in my life. Ever. The inconvenience of it not standing upright on its own is offset by the fact that it is self propelled. It’s amazing. You don’t know you want it until you have it. Trust me.2. This thing picks up litter AND litter dust that I couldn’t even see. Additionally, the suction doesn’t diminish just because you use an attachment. The angled nozzle is awesome for vacuum dusting around floor and ceiling moulding. The flat one is really great on the upholstered furniture and carpeted cat condo.3. Speaking of seeing, it has a light on the front which is pretty rad. Especially if you’re using it on dark hardwood floors and you want the satisfaction of seeing the black cat hair get sucked up. It’s great for that.4. It gets down low enough that I can easily vacuum under a king bed.5. Speaking of — if you have say, a cat toy under your bed that you don’t know about it doesn’t try to suck it up. I mean it does, but it stops, you get a red error light, you turn off the power, remove the stuck object, in our case a 6” bunny toy” and turn it back on. It automatically stops turning the brushes so you’re not sitting there burning a belt in the 5 seconds it takes for you to compute what’s happening.What number am I on?6? 6. It sucks the ground up through your carpet. I swear. It gets things the Dyson is too weak to suck up.7. It’s not very loud. It’s a vacuum so it makes vacuum noises but for comparison my cat was terrified of our old school bissell vacuum, and did not enjoy the high pitched whirring of the Dyson. This doesn’t bother him. He’s pretty skittish and he’ll stay in the same room with it running. It’s quiet enough that I can ask Alexa to turn a light on or something while vacuuming.8. The odor neutralizer — I don’t know if it *does* anything but it smells nice and that’s enough to dazzle me.9. There is a little thing in the basket that is cone shaped. Maybe 3” long — hair wraps around that every time. Even long curly hair and cat hair. It’s designed that when you pop open the bucket thing to empty it the motion removes the hair wads from the cone. It’s smartly designed.10. I have 3 carpeted rooms, two rooms with tile, two large rooms with laminate, and a hallway. The canister is more than enough to handle all of that in one pass. But I also am in the habit of emptying it every time I use it no matter which vacuum I have.I know this must sound like overkill but I spent a week going through like 60 different vacuums trying to figure out which one I was going to blow $250+ on. And I’m so glad I went with this one.I haven’t had to change the filters or odor neutralizer yet and yeah, boo hoo it doesn’t stand up so sometimes you have to inconveniently lean it against the wall and you have to store it with a hook or leaned against a wall but who cares if everything else is amazong?Just buy it.

Funcionó maravilloso los primeros meses (la compré en marzo) pero después de unos meses (por octubre) dejó de funcionar como al principio, pero bueno, no le tomé importancia porque en general funcionaba; la cosa es que ahora ya no aspira nada. La verdad por algo que está arriba de los 5mil pesos espero que funcione más de 1 año :S

It's overall a really good and versatile stick vac, & though it is light the build quality is not flimsy. Really great suction & it gets right up to the wall. Does a wonderful job on my bedroom carpeting. It's great on the laminate on most of my floors, even picks up kitty litter that gets tracked. Easy to use, but it does keep me hopping to empty the bin but I guess all sticks have dinky dust bins. I have to be careful not to run over the cord, but I didn't want to have to worry about charging batteries. I do wish it would stand up on it's own, as I don't find removing the handheld power unit very convenient to remove to store. Like my old battered 12 year old duct taped Rotator Pro, it is noisy, but I think that's just Shark.

This vacuum is AMAZING! This vacuum unearthed dirt, dead skin, etc in our carpets that made it look like we had never vacuumed a single time in the 12 years we've lived in our house. (We've vacuumed about once a week and try to shampoo carpets 1x a month since we moved in for reference.)It's so easy to use and lightweight. I'm currently in a medical boot and using a knee scooter and was still able to use it!This thing is powerful. The first time I used it, I stupidly got to close to one of my husband's socks and it just sucked it right up. It did not damage the vacuum.Hair all over the house is no longer a problem! I and my 2 daughters all have long hair that most vacuums just can't seem to handle. A lot of vacuums are designed and work on pet hair but not long human hair. This vacuum delivers!Bare floor mode is a lifesaver! Cleans up loose kitty litter around the litter box easily. I can get right up to my base boards without having to get on my hands and knees.Great maneuverability! I have rheumatoid arthritis and being able to vacuum underneath my couches without getting on the floor or moving heavy furniture is a game changer during a flare up. My husband was able to get it in that small space between the kitchen floor and our bottom cabinets to clean!We haven't used the handheld mode a lot but it works really well when we have used it!My only criticisms:1. When fully put together and upright, you have to lean it against something because it's so top heavy it WILL fall over. However it EASILY disassembles / collapses for storage.2. When going from collapsed storage to putting it together upright and vice versa, the cord storage is a pain. It wraps around hooks like almost all other vacuums but because the cord is attached to the movable top, it can get tangled. We're still getting use to it, so it could be user stupidity in the way we're wrapping the cord.For reference, We (2 adults, 2 older kids) live in a 1100 sq ft house with 3 carpeted rooms, 3 people with long hair, a short hair dog, and medium coat cat.

I had a lot to consider with changing to this style of vacuum. I’ve owned Shark products for many years, and usually have really liked them all, even though aspects of them differed. The last upright I had did not propel forward much when using, so this model is drastically different when using the carpet mode. Imagine the image of the little old lady getting drug by the Great Dane across the yard .. that’s the pull this stick vacuum reminds me of. On one hand if you have a shoulder injury where pushing is problematic, this vacuum is great. On the other hand you better also be ready for it, because it’s ready to take you for a walk. While the majority of the cleaning aspects are just as top notch as you expect from a Shark product, the proximity to the baseboards seemed off, YET the ability and ease to effortlessly step on the foot pedal to detach from the base and easily take the suction wand to quickly use around the baseboards and corners is a guilty pleasure. The pet hair attachment was also an unexpected good surprise, with it working much better than anticipated. I like that there is a headlight on the base vacuum, which really helps you see if you’ve missed a spot. The debris canister isn’t huge, but I found it was a decent trade off to keep the vacuum lighter, and the more frequent emptying was just gratifying to see how much I was getting things cleaner. There are only two cons that could be improved upon, and one is the handle grip fit. While initially it’s fine.., after a considerable amount of time it was causing my hand to become sore (like when you’re doing yard work and the tools can rub a hot spot on your hand between your thumb and palm). My hand is average to smaller in size, so it’s just how it fits me. The other item is that there needs to be an elbow attachment for when using it just as a hand vacuum, otherwise you’re having to position the hand vacuum flat to get the attachments to suction properly, and not everything can be easily cleaned in a flat position. I kept thinking that certainly there should be an elbow type attachment somewhere that I missed, but I couldn’t find any.

Estaba a punto de comprar una Dyson pero me encontré esta marca. Al agregar el cable conseguimos que tenga más potencia y el precio se reduzca a la mitad.Solo quisiera que tuviera mas accesorios (aunque se pagaran por separado)

Es silenciosa lo más que se puede en aspiradora, si cierras el cuarto, ni se escucha que estas aspirando. Es potente. Aspira muy bien. NO PESA. Ocupa poco espacio. Muy bien con el polvo y pelaje mascotas. Tengo 2 gatos y 7 perros...y solo con esta aspiradora esta limpia la casa. Muebles camas, piso, La recomiendo mucho
