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

Great for heavy traffic, pets, and long hair!!
10 out of 10!! This is THE BEST VACUUM I have ever used! We are a household of women with long hair and household pets. This vacuum picks up all of the pet hair and all of the long hair and there are no bristles for it to get wrapped up and Tangled. It picks up all the dust and the suction is so strong that it gets everything out of the corners. It moves easily and maneuvers around furniture and corners quite well. The attachments are easy to use and the canister is easy to clean. Highly recommend!

It Sucks… But in a good way!
Arrived on time and in good condition. Putting together components minimal. Well-built and selection features conveniently on handle. Draws pet hair and dust well. Crevice tool is good, upholstery tool is just ok (rather a brush) if it had that rating would be a 5. Long power cord wraps with ease. Had A shark (navigator) before and my last was a Dyson (highly overrated) Animal. Problems pushing it, because it just dug into the carpet! (wife hated it) A little cheaper cost than the animal, and I think quality and performance is better! Yes, I would purchase this again!

Unbalanced, overheats, HEAVY
I was super excited for this vacuum because of all the raving reviews, but I hate it and am returning it.Cons:- Heavy – This thing is heavy! I am fit, 5’7, and lift regularly. I found myself sweating from pushing and pulling this thing in my two story carpeted house.- Cannot Handle Thicker Carpet – Like some reviews pointed out, the head pulls very strongly on thick carpet (which is unfortunately the majority of my home), and when using it the entire vacuum pulls forward. So much so that pulling it back was like doing a rows. If you take off the bin and hold it, the motorhead runs away on you. The vacuum is strong but works entirely against you.- Overheats – Using the power detect feature, I did 3 bedrooms and a loft of carpet floor, totaling maybe 1000 sf, and the motorhead overheated 3 times as indicated by flashing red lights and interrupted function. It would overhead basically after every room. The manual says you’re supposed to let it cool down for at least 60 minutes–by that logic it would take me more than 3 hours to complete vacuuming 3 bedrooms.- Unbalanced – The head swivels, but it’s so weirdly balanced that you have to strain your wrist and body to turn the vacuum and swivel the head to get in corners. Sure you can detach the motor but it’s heavy, awkward, and the hose is short and stiff–which leads to my next point.- Stiff Short Hose – I get that it’s meant to be convenient and allow you to detach the motor from the head, but the hose is incredibly stiff and just short enough to be impractical. I found if I leave the motor and body on the floor, the second I reach for anything with the hose I pull the whole thing over because the hose is so short. It’s also incredibly stiff and gets tauter with the suction on, so even if you hold the motor in one hand and the head in the other, you’re fighting the tension of the tight hose the entire time you’re using it for crevices and corners. Just horribly designed and incredibly difficult to use.- Long coarse and stiff cable – the power cable is incredibly long and very stiff unlike other vacuums I’ve used. This makes it tangle like crazy since it holds the shape of the folds it came with and difficult to work with since it’s also very rough and stiff.- From what I can see, there’s 2 spots to stick your hose attachments on the base of the bin/motor assembly. However, depending on the attachment, like the air powered upholstery brush, it will prevent pulling off the removable bin/motor.- Dust Bin / Filter – Finally, with all the cyclone vacuums on the market, it’s pretty disappointing to see a lack of dust separation here. Sure there the bin catches most things but the cheap little foam pad filter right before the motor got pretty nasty from one round of use around the house. I would imagine you need to wash that thing after every use to keep it clean, and it’d be just another extra cost for replacements. For the high end vacuum this tries to be, it’s a pretty disappointing and half-cocked design and execution.- Power Detect – Just another automated gimmick. Realistically, you have to wait a full second for it to detect edges and floor type and if you’re counting on the edge detection to boost suction on that side, you’ll have to wait for that pause before you start vacuuming along the edge. Not convenient enough to warrant the hype and extra cost at all.Overall, it has the power but almost every aspect of it is brutal to use and does NOT feel like a $550 “premium” vacuum. I’ve been disappointed by the quality and design of Shark vacuums in the past and this one is unfortunately no different. It’s a brutish product with lots of power but design and ergonomics just go out the window with its flaws and lacking ease-of-use.Would not recommend this at all for the price.

La mejor aspiradora que he tenido. Es súper potente, de verdad que no encontraras nada igual en ninguna otra aspiradora vertical. Tengo además dos roombas para el trabajo diario. Pero la Shark Vertex se lleva todos los honores en los trabajos más difíciles, desde aspirar brillantina y arena hasta cereal y croquetas de perro. Y aunque es un poco pesada nada se le compara a la hora de succionar todo a su paso. 100% recomendada.

Muy buena compra ! Al principio dude de logrará aspirar los pelos de mi mascota por ser de batería, pero resultó ser potente y la batería dura bastante ! Excelente compra !
