Shark HZ3002 Stratos Ultralight Corded Stick Vacuum with DuoClean PowerFins HairPro, Self-Cleaning Brushroll, & Odor Neutralizer Technology, Navy

This is such a fantastic stick vacuum. I have tried so many battery operated stick vacuums that are ok for quick jobs. They all miss the mark on cat litter and thick grout Spanish tile. This one is fantastic! Great suction and cleaning power I have uprights that are great but can't get under my couches and furniture I also have a shark canister which is fantastic but cumbersome for quick jobs. The lift away also Great but is also cumbersome for a quick job..but they are both excellent. This stick vacuum is the perfect everyday vacuum. I have wide and deep grout tile which is really a pain to clean. You have to fling sweep with a broom to clean it. Battery stick vacuums work OK but you have to go over it a few times on high...that means about 15 minutes charge time on most. I am so glad I went with this one The cord is long enough for me to clean each room I am in. The suction on my tile floors is AMAZING. The brush is great also. I could not believe one or two passes got my grout clean It's also super maneuverable, light weight and has fantastic attachments! It cleaned my area rugs far better than any of my other stick vacs. It was able to pick up kitty litter and cat kibble. My cat is awesome but he is messy. I am so pleased with my delivery, price. AMAZON is The Best! The reviews on here is why I bought this. I am so glad I did!

This is a great vacuum cleaner. We previously tried a Shark Navigator, but found it to be very hard to push on carpet. My wife could not push it at all. Bear in mains that this is not a self propelled model. We tried bleeding off suction, and that did not work. We ended up calling Shark customer service and we were told that this model had a reputation of being hard to push on carpet. Wish we had known this information before we bought one. When we buy a vacuum cleaner, we want one that will do all types of flooring. This Stratos model is lighter and easy to push on carpet. Also works well on tile and hardwood floors. The only negative is that it will not stand up on it’s own, unless you lean it against a wall. That is a small thing and something we can easily live with. It does have a small container for debris, but emptying it is easy. The suction is good. No problem collecting just about anything on the floors.

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.

This vacuum is very powerful and does GREAT with dog hair. I have a German Shepherd who sheds constantly, and this vacuum handles hair beautifully. It's lightweight. It goes from hardwood floors to rugs seamlessly. You do need to empty the bucket often since the bucket isn't that large, but it's easy to do and hair doesn't get stuck in the rollers or bucket. The vacuum can be made to stand upright by itself if you use the attachment that comes with the vacuum. Otherwise, it's top heavy and will fall over. The one thing I don't love about the vacuum, which is why I gave it 4 stars, is the stiffness of the power cord which makes dealing with the cord a bit of a challenge. I was hoping it was stiff because it was so new and had been in its packaged position for so long; however, I believe it's due to the thickness of the cord. The cord makes taking the vacuum out and putting it away a pain. Other than that, I am satisfied with this vacuum and how well it handles dog hair.

We were happy enough with our Shark Stratos vacuum for the first few months that we ordered a second one to give to my parents. The second one, ordered brand new, arrived in a repackaged box and the item was obviously used. It had numerous cracks, dents, and dirt. Coincidentally, at the same time we were returning that vacuum our original vacuum that we had been using for about 6 months stopped working. The roller won't spin and a red light appears. It is extremely likely there is something caught inside that is causing it not to spin, but the Shark Stratos model does NOT allow you to access the brushroll, like other vacuums. It's entirely sealed off so that we can't even clear the blockage or attempt to fix it ourselves. Such a simple thing to fix which has rendered our vacuum useless. I would avoid the Shark Stratos model entirely and think twice before ordering. You may not get a new item and even if you do, it may not last long.

I realized that my vacuum cleaner was not removing enough dirt from the area rugs, as they were full of dirt when I turned them over. It was time for a new vacuum cleaner. I had a number of things that I wanted from a vacuum cleaner. After spending several hours of research on the internet, I choose the Shark Stratos stick vacuum. It has been amazing. I wanted a light vacuum cleaner with a power cord, that would really get my floors clean, could handle long hair and pieces of yarn and would get under furniture. I got all of that in this vacuum cleaner. I can no longer haul a heavy vacuum cleaner upstairs. At less than 9 pounds, the Stratos is light and easy to carry upstairs. I did not want to deal with recharging a vacuum cleaner, as I didn't want to loose power in the middle of vacuuming. This vacuum cleaner has a 25 foot long power cord. Perfect. I have one indoor cat, who does not shed too much. However, I have long hair, and I tend to drop pieces of yarn ends on the floor from my knitting projects. The technology in this vacuum means that hair and yarn ends up in the dust canister and does not wind around the roller. Goodbye to the nasty chore of trying to remove hair and yarn from the roller. I guess that the most amazing thing about this vacuum cleaner is that it really sucks the dirt up. I have sucked up an unbelievable amount of dirt in the week or so since it arrived. I usually don't look forward to vacuuming, but I love to see all the dirt that ends up in the dust canister. I also hate that all that dirt was hiding in my carpets and rugs. I feel that my carpets and rugs are finally free of years of accumulated dirt. This vacuum slides under most furniture, including beds. I no longer have to get out an attachment to, hopefully, get dust bunnies from under the beds, or move furniture around. I should mention that the vacuum cleaner works equally well on area rugs, carpets and hardwood floor, all of which I have in my house. There is switch that allows you to chose bare floors or carpets. If you have some smaller mats, I suggest that you put one foot on them while vacuuming or the vacuum will try to suck them up. I am really happy with this vacuum cleaner. I have used it every day since I received it, but my house is a lot cleaner and I am a lot happier. Update: I have now used my Stratos for 5 months. I keep the filters clean and make sure it is well maintained. It still works great and I now enjoy vacuuming.

While I like (and have) cordless vacs, you can't beat a corded vac when it comes to not having to worry about battery life and, more important, consistent power delivery. This Stratos has been performing very well for me on hard floors and low-pile carpet. The suction power is excellent, and the dual rollers are fantastic for picking up everything from cat/dog kibble to fine dust. This really shines when it comes to hair pickup. I've had zero issues with the hair tangling in the rollers, be it short pet hair, clumpy pet hair or even long human hair. Since probably 50% of my cleaning is dealing with hair, it's been a real treat to not have to pull hair off the rollers. I also like the sealed system and the HEPA filter. That's a big reason why I went with this over the Vertex after seeing the importance and value of a sealed system on a Vacuum Wars video. Maintenance is simple, the 30 foot cord allows for excellent reach, the filters (3) are washable, and it stores in a very tidy package. Just remove the motor head, hook it on the provided hook, and wrap the cord around the guides. Neat, tidy, and it stands upright on its own in storage mode (but does not stand on its own in use, as is often the case with this style of vac). The attachments are all useful. The air powered brush is great for hair removal on stairs/bedding, the upholstery attachment works well on sofas/chairs, and the crevice tool is nice for the little nooks and crannies. I wish it included a dusting brush -- I'll probably pick one of those up if the price is not too steep. The only con is the overall ergonomics. The handle is not ideal for comfort for long stretches. I ended up wrapping the handle with some thin padding which helped, but a better, more ergonomic handle is needed. It is also heavier than other stick vacs, but given the greater power, I'm fine with a bit more weight. One of the best stick vacs I've come across so far. Even with the handle issues, it's still a solid 5 star vac that I'm very pleased with.

I loved how much this picked up the dog and cat hair in my house and was light weight for what it is. I purposely picked a corded vacuum and the length of cord is great! It folds down to a small size that is great for my limited storage house. My biggest complaint comes 6+ months later. The vacuum stopped working with the rollers failing to move. The warranty that comes with is for 5 years but they fail to tell you it’s literally Only for the motor and only sometimes. Even more frustrating, you don’t get parts to fix it. You just have to buy a whole bottom section. That section is $100 plus tax and shipping! I paid around $300 for this vacuum so that was ridiculous! I’ve since read that shark is notorious for their lack of fixing issues with parts, you just have to buy replacements. It’s not worth it to buy a replacement every 6 months with the cost upfront. Not something I’ll buy again!

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

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

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)
