Shark Stratos Corded Upright Vacuum Cleaner 1.3L Pet Pro with Anti Hair Wrap Plus, Anti-Odour, DuoClean, Powered Lift-Away, Anti-Allergen Complete Seal, 3 Attachments, 8m Cord, Rose Gold

I’ve always had Dyson Animal vacs for dog hair. Problem was, long hair wrapped around roller which always had to be cut off. This SHARK is a game changer!! I have long hair as well as a dog. This vac cuts the hair as it vacs so it doesn’t wrap around the roller AT ALL! It’s brilliant! It’s heavy but I look at it as a good work out. It’s easy to take apart, empty the container and use the hose. The vac head is small but great for getting in to nooks. The vac stem pivots, which makes it easy to go around furniture etc. The power is incredible! It makes me realise how poor a job my old vac did. The dirt that this vac picked up within a few minutes was shocking. It’s great for taking the main body off and carrying it to do the stairs, car etc. The collection bin is smaller than my old one but it’s so simple to empty, it’s not an issue. The little light is actually useful for dark corners. I actually look forward to vacuuming with this vac. I also love the 3 different floor settings, hard floor, carpet or rug. Very useful. I really wish I bought one years ago and will stick with Shark from now on. I’m very impressed.

We had to replace the Dyson we had downstairs, which is the main hoover in the house. and over the years the dyson's have been getting smaller and smaller collection bins, and stiffled on innovation - yet still command the platinum/premiem price. So as we had already has a Shark cordless stick vacume for upstairs - which we have had for a couple of years and been impressed (compared the the cordless stick dyson we used to have) it was a no brainer on what brand we were going to look out for. Out wish list was: Cabled - for maximum power Larger Dust Collection Bin Upright (getting older, so less bending please) Pet Attachements HEPA for Air Quality We have 2 medium dogs. we hoover 3 times A week. We ordered the Shark Stratos +Pet Unit and this arrived within a few days. Well packaged thoughout. The unit was very easy to put to gether, very minimal assembly. The hoover is not heavy at all (concerned from some reviews we had read). what we did find was that on deep pile carpet, you need to adjust the suction/floor type button - then the unit is easy to push and pull across the floor without issue. the head is not as movable as it's cordless counterpart, but does the job just fine. We love the powered lift away so the sairs and the likes are easy peasy. Only downside, is the darned powerlead, is on the right hand side, which means it's forever getting in the way (i'm right handed). also when placing the powered liftaway unit baxck together on the main unit, the suction hose and power cables are effectivly on different sides, meaning it's a two handed operation to put back together - that seems like a bit of a design oversight, surly putting the cables and suction hoses on the same side would have made that a bit easier. Before we used the Shark, We twice hoovered the lounge, and our dyson did a (ish) job, the dust bin was full (althoug it';s small) and the room looked kinda cleak - some pet hair left on the carpet where the dyson had not been man enough to collect (even with a 3 month old brush bar replacement (OEM). Rolled out the shiney new Shark Stratos, so.... lugged in, turned on, floor selector set to Low Pile Carpet, and away we go, hoovering for approx 5mins. dust Bin Full, and we mean FULL.. the dust collected and pet hair was amazing... Considering the room had just been hoovered before hand we were absoluty gobsmaked at howmuch had been sucked up by the shark. Emptied the dust bin (which is super easy on this unit) and hoovered again, still picked up about a 3rd of the dust bin, in mainly dust, very litted pet hair on the second run. We think this just goes to show how good this hoover is at picking up dust and everything else. Such a great unit and the carpet at the end of the hoovering looks great, the pile is lifted (something which doesn't always happen on 5 year old carpet) and the carpet looked fresher than when we have used a rug doctor on it in the past. This is a fantastic hoover, we'll never purchase another Dyson now, Shark Alll the way for us... +Pet Brush is great at getting pet hairs of dopg blankets, and the bottom of the sofa's +it looks cool +Great suction and good sized dust collection bin +power liftaway is great, moderate weight but easy to use +easy to use +the odur control is great, doesn't smell at all, always seems fresh and clean -Power cable on seperat eside form suction hose - it's just really awkward :-( -LED's on floor unit are more decorative, than functional (needed a few more and better angling/positioning). You will not be dissapointed, we also got one for parent Well recommended

The product was easy to assemble and did a very deep clean on my carpet. In fact I was shocked at how much dust it lifted from my carpets vs my old cleaner. I love the fact the little unit comes away from the main housing so you can use it just hand held for the stairs, and the wand it easy to detach and reattach. The vacuum head has good rotation and picks dust and dog hairs right up to the skirting boards. Some reviews mention the hose is a bit short but I see no reason for it to be longer as it’s so easy to use as a hand held and the hose is certainly long enough to run the crevice tool around the ceiling to get at those pesky cobwebs. The cable is 8 metres which is way long enough. The vacuum is lightweight and I think it’s heavy to push because the suction is so powerful. If you adjust the carpet length switch, it reduces the suction and makes it easier. Personally I’ll stick with the strongest setting to get the dog hairs and dust up properly. 4 stars: because the vacuum head can be a little tricky to steer at first, because of the powerful suction it is “heavy” to push and because it’s a lot of money. I’m delighted to have got mine on a 50% off deal but at the full price I’m not sure I would have been so happy. Would 100% recommend. The little capsule for reducing odours is easy to fit and absolutely brilliant, especially now we are in winter and wet dog season.

I needed a replacement for a Vax upright vacuum and having read many reviews decided on the Shark. I find it very well made and manufactured from good quality materials. The suction power is great and has revitalised some of my carpeting, the hard floor capability over my wood and tile flooring is very effective. Having said that, on the down side, this is a very heavy machine compared to my old Vax and indeed I find it difficult to negotiate around furniture etc. I am a male 75 years old but quite fit but would suggest it could raise issues for older folk or of light build. I would say I am quite happy with the Shark as I look on the housework as my personal trainer for good exercise??

We bought this to replace a previous model which lasted around 5 years but due to a split in the hose lost suction. I'm really impressed with it. It's slightly harder to steer than the previous model, but we now have a very hairy Cocker Spaniel and it's brilliant at picking up hairs, dust...everything! The cord is a really good length and I always liked the feature to remove the feet to vacuum the stairs and take out the pole for the top corners and I'm pleased it's not changed on this model. Love the rose gold handle and the anti wrap technology is great - I used to spend a long time pulling off hair from the roller on the previous one so this is a great improvement. The attachment to clean the stairs is also powerful - although does sound like a chainsaw! Really pleased, an improvement on the previous one, just hope it lasts a bit longer but highly recommend!

The product was sold as having some serious cosmetic defect, but it's hard to see the small scratches so a great bargain. It doesn't have the manual, but it is available online, so it's no problem. This is a great vacuum cleaner. It's a little heavy and clumsy but the suction and cleaning abilities are on par with the much more expensive Miele I had... and no bag costs to add on, what's not to love?

i bought this a while ago, but never review products after a day or 2, i always give them a work out 1st. This is simply the best hoover i have ever had, the suction and cleaning power of it is unmatched. It has great features in terms of accessories that come with it and the fact you can detach the main unit from the handle means its a dream hoover for staircases. Easy to empty, and the different levels of suction/ability for the hoover eg-hard floors, deep pile carpet, low pile carpet etc is just brilliant. Robust, effective, overall a great purchase and worth the money

Easily the best vacuum I've ever used. Tremendous suction, moves smoothly, not noisy and no entanglements around the brushes. The facility to remove the power unit to use had held on the stairs is a big plus. Easily beats my old Dyson. It's true what some of the professional and customer reviews say, "Bye-bye Dyson!"
