I have this [Shark Stratos](https://www.bestbuy.com/product/shark-stratos-multiflex-cordless-stick-vacuum-with-clean-sense-iq-and-odor-neutralizer-duoclean-powerfins-hairpro-ash-purple/JXJVXG4HC6) from best buy, but I got it for around $300 this summer, I think because I asked for a price match with Amazon. Love it - super easy to use and works well. I live in an apartment with hardwood and rugs.
My friend has a self emptying shark vacuum she loves as well.
Previously I had a Dyson cordless and liked it okay in an apartment with no carpet, but hated it once I lived in a house with carpet. That honestly required a plug-in shark vacuum. I couldn’t believe how much the Dyson was leaving behind once I got that 😭
Look into the [Shark Stratos](https://amzn.to/3IgjFet) cordless. The soft roller is great on hardwood so it doesn’t kick stuff around, and the brushroll actually handles fur really well without getting clogged.
A lot of the power detect sticks are corded which a lot of folks miss. These ones are not corded [Shark PowerDetect](https://amzn.to/4mE23qW). The Startos in my opinion is stronger and more consistent when it comes to suction and the PowerDetect is more convenient (auto-empty, smart detection) but comes with weaker suction.
Can you guys ever just answer the persons question? 🙄 I think by now most people know corded will always be more powerful but they’re clearly asking about cordless.
I have a super sheddy dog and the Shark Stratos has been really good for me on carpet/tile. I use it almost everyday for maintenance and then deep clean with my corded Shark Navigator weekly.
Go with the Shark Stratos Cordless. For an apartment with mixed floors, not having to switch heads is a massive quality-of-life upgrade, and the dual-roller system picks up Cheerios and fine dust equally well.
Shark is genuinely my favourite brand! I have the Shark Stratos cordless vacuum and it’s honestly brilliant. Definitely keeps up with our colony of animals, even on the carpets where they like to roll around. I used to work in electrical sales and would always recommend Shark, as well as Ninja kitchen appliances because the companies are linked and they’re just as great.
Definitely considering the hydrovac as a next purchase, the lazier my ass can be the better!
Shark stratos here with 2 x easily swappable batteries . Love the convenience, only drawback is it’s a little heavy , we had a Dyson v7 before that. Pick up is excellent with it. Mainly hardwood and tile floors but also a mix of bedroom carpets . Quick clean with the first sensor on can do the full house on a single charge as it speeds up and slows down as needed.
Recently purchased a shark stratos and find it excellent , much better pickup than the dyson v7 it replaced . Hepa filter also and in reviews and tests it’s very self contained. Drawback for you may be the dry bin .
