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

Love this vacuum. My friend has two large short haired dogs. I was dog sitting for three days and got to use her vacuum (older model). The suction of hair off the floor was astonishing! I went home and ordered mine. It took 10-15 min for me to assemble. I plugged it in an off I went! The suction was again, astonishing. I vacuumed my shag carpet in the living room and ended up with a full tank! I used the tools to vacuum my patio furniture. The suction was still great but it was awkward to maneuver. I kept accidentally pressing other buttons (high carpet, low carpet, floor) because of the placement. I don’t have that issues when I vacuum. Also, the canister is wobbly when separated from the base. I don’t know why, but it topples every time I try to use it without holding the canister with my free hand. I feel like I’m at war with the canister when it’s free from the base. This makes it frustrating, but if I hold the handle in my left hand and use the vacuum in my right there are no issues. I’d buy this again, for sure! The vacuum is heavy if it’s on auto detect because it’s really sucking hard. But if it’s on a different mode it’s easy to push. I love everything about this! My carpets look new and in the shag, sometimes there are peoples of dirt O can’t see, but they securely get sucked up! I love the side suction and suction froward and backward. My favorite feature, because I have long hair and I shed too, it pulls the hair into its own compartment and wraps it up into a spool for discard. It won’t lock up the roller. I have found a ton of my hair! I vacuum my bathroom floors too…so much easier than sweeping the hair. If I can find their handheld that does this for hair…I’ll buy one! This is an amazing purchase and easy to maintain.

Favorite vacuum I’ve used. I’ve been a fan of Shark vacuums for years but this is my absolute favorite so far. The price is a bit steep but found it while it was on sale so that helped. The vacuum itself is a little heavy but is good quality and can stand getting knocked around a little bit. It picks up on carpet and hard wood super well. I love that you can take the large dust collector off to reach under small spaces. My 2 other favorite features are the self cleaning brush and the scent minimizer. They both work extremely well and will definitely want them in any future vacuums I end up with. Sharks are hard to beat

This is the 5th shark vacuum cleaner I’ve bought. I clean professionally and have given the others to people I’ve worked for when I decide to buy a new vacuum cleaner. Sharks are the very best and I have used many other high end vacuums far more expensive than shark. This last one is heavy, which is the only downside, but not bad enough that it keeps me from buying yet another one. They are easy to use and disassemble when cleaning the vacuum itself. Shark vacuums are powerhouses and tough. I’ve never had one breakdown. But if something breaks, parts can be ordered to replace the piece that breaks. But the key to have a vacuum cleaner to last is in taking care of it like you would your car. Don’t abuse your appliances. Keep them in great condition by cleaning the tank, filters, hoses, and rollers. Take care of your equipment and it’ll take care of you. Mine are used daily, and they have cleaned up some pretty awful stuff. Common sense tells you that you don’t vacuum liquids, feces, or grease. Who would do that anyway? Still, mine get a workout every single day. But, after each use, I clean it. Are there things I’d change on the design? Yes I would. But that goes for every single thing I’ve bought in any appliance, vehicle or home. I depend heavily on the manufacturer of products to provide me with the best possible quality they offer in design and durability. As long as they keep living up to my standards, I’ll keep buying their product.

I work as a professional housekeeper so I do know a thing or two about vacuums, I got this one with the purpose of using it for work but regretted it. I won’t be sending it back because I feel I got it at a fair price ($250 on sale), I’ll start with the pros. For the price I got it it’s great honestly, some vacuums now are 500-1,00 which is crazy and if your buying one to use it for your home you don’t need to spend all that much because every vacuum does the same basic things so why pay that high price when you can pay a more comfortable price and get similar results. There’s so much rave about the new Dyson roller ball vacuum and I want to say that this one’s just as powerful as that one and for a more comfortable price ( I think the Dyson is like $800) I didn’t get why it’s so overhyped and over priced, it does look more modern but it is a pain to drag that thing around it’s super heavy, this shark one is a bit lighter. I like that this vacuum has LED lights which is very helpful especially if you have pets or messy kids, it’s easier to target spots on hardwood floors that are messier. This has 3 different features that work nicely and is simple to use once you get used to it the different buttons. One of the reasons I chose this one is because the canister part is removable and it can be used with just the stick so it can go under beds or furniture, that is very very convenient for a thorough clean (another point over Dyson). This vacuum is cute! Yes it’s a nice rosy gold pink and the attachments it comes with (3) are great, you can use them to get on the sides and under cushions of couches, to suck the dust out of base boards or get in those crevices like between washer and dryer, in the side of the fridge, behind furniture and also for pet hair. The suction power on this thing is crazy which is both a pro and a con because it’ll pick up alot of hair crumbs and all of that but it’s so strong that the vacuum runs away on its own 😅. This can be a really big pro tho because If you aren’t trying to get perfect vacuum lines or anything this vacuum does the work for you, it moves on it’s own so you’d only struggle when pulling it back or if you have to carry it around a big house or something. So with that being said Im happy with my vacuum except for the things I’ll mention below but before I get into the cons Id like to suggest that if your need to use this for home or business you need something that’s easy to use and works well, all vacuums do the same basic stuff which is collect hairs and particles of dirt, if it’s not bad quality and you use just about any vacuum ( I recommend the grey shark UV725, gets the job done, lower price, comes with similar handy attachments, headlights and is light weight). The biggest con to any vacuum is if it’s heavy 😖 and this one is, and like i said it’s suction power is strong so instead of you dragging it it drags you, after I’m done using for too long my arm and lower back start to hurt, and that shouldn’t happen for me specially because I clean 2-4 houses regularly and my body has built up a bit of strength to push a vacuum back and forth daily. So that means for an average person it might be a bit hard to use as well or maybe I’m just weak. Another sort of con is that you must be careful of any big or sharp object on the floor or any long string that can get wrapped around the roller because this thing sucks I’m everything and you couldn’t damage it if you aren’t careful. This also need to be cleaned, you must get in there and cut off any hair wrapped around the fins or else the hair or or type of string will end up cutting through the fins because it spins so fast so try to stay on top of that every few uses. Other than that this vacuum is great honestly. Keeping your home clean is and should be important, it’s important to have a clean space that you can come to be have a bit of peace from the outside world and not the other way around so when looking for things that are meant to improve your home don’t be lazy, do your research, accept that it’s a process of trail and error to find what works best for you and your abilities and schedule. As a housekeeper something I notice a lot is that people are enticed to buy expensive things or random gadgets, tools and products for cleaning and they get exited about purchasing them, use them once or twice and quickly becomes something that just sits in a storage closet collecting dust. A lot of social media influencers or bloggers will recommend products or tools that look cool or feel nice or smell nice and people will buy them thinking it’ll help them stay on top of their cleaning but it won’t. So really think before buying all those expensive different products. You must have self discipline and not rely on motivation to do those things. To get your house cleaned you don’t need a variety of products, you need good effective products that give consistent results and most important you must know how, when and where to use them. If you go on social media and look for cleaning videos you’ll get alot of “cleaning tips and tricks” that don’t work or aren’t done properly and you’ll end up messing up your house so get on YouTube and do your research. Don’t think of this as an expense, instead as an investment. I hope that if you’ve gotten to the end of this very long review that it helps you out and if your having trouble staying on top of your cleaning at home don’t beat yourself up and shift your mindset and relationship with cleaning. God bless you and best of luck !
