Didn’t see this. Posted a link above. I agree, they’re great. Have a shark cordless and upright.

I have two cats and a Shark Stratos corded vacuum (hardwood floors and some rugs) and I love it. I’m amazed at how much fur and dust it picks up. I never thought I’d be gushy over a vacuum, but here we are.

A stick vacuum isn't going to be effective for thoroughly cleaning carpeting. It is okay for quick pickups but that is about it. I had a Shark corded stick vacuum for 6 years as my main vacuum and it didn't clean my carpeting well at all. I have a corded Shark Stratos now. It does a way better job than the Shark stick vacuum. However, my next vacuum will be a bagged machine. I hate washing the filters and emptying the dust cup.

Hey, I own a Shark myself and I have no problems with it yet. My last Shark was a Shark Rocket that broke after about 6 years. Still, reviewsvacuum's YouTube channel is very informative about all kinds of vacuums. He has a huge collection of vacuums and is very knowledgable about repairing all kinds of vacuums. Of course he is biased, as he makes a living off of selling specific brands of vacuums and repairing those that are brought to his shop. Of course he isn't going to like vacuums that are unrepairable because that means he gets no business. You can't really fault him for that. To be honest, is it really so great for consumers, either? Not really, unless you are okay with having a disposable vacuum. There is nothing wrong with having vacuums that only last a few years and can't be repaired if that is all you can afford. I have learned a lot from him about making better choices in the future, though. I like my Shark Stratos but it was $450 when I bought it and I understand now that I kind of got ripped off. Now that I have been here for a while, if I could do it again I would have got a bagged machine and saved money. I am saving up for a Miele or Sebo (haven't decided yet - that is why I am still here and reading) because the next vacuum I buy I want it to be the last one I ever have to purchase and I want to make the correct decision for me. I really like vacuum cleaners and think they are an important appliance in the home. They help keep us healthy and they are pretty fun.

They might be right, though. I will decide if they are once I get a Sebo or Miele. I have a feeling that my Shark Stratos isn't agitating the carpeting enough. I grew up with high quality Hoover canisters and I swear they did a much better job agitating the carpeting. I feel like my Shark leaves it looking flat and not as fluffy as it should. It definitely has great suction and the anti-hair wrap works great. I like the duo clean roller felt roller, too. I feel like it is buffing my hard floors. Anyway, these vacuum technician guys on here do know what they are talking about and there ARE people who post on this forum how had their Shark break in a year and it can't be fixed. Which really sucks for them. If my Stratos breaks in a year I am going to be PISSED because I paid $450 for it!

My mother bought 2 Miele C3 Cat and Dog vacs. They've been shit. Get dirty and hot very easily, lose suction, hard to clean. I'm surprised they get such a good rap. I got a shark strator XL or whatever it's called and it's been wonderful. So many little design choices to make it easy to pull apart and clean or get to tight spots or even just manage the cable as you're moving around the house. It even has different power settings and lights to indicate faults if you suck something up you shouldn't have. I heard they weren't great AFTER i bought one but it's been a joy to use copared to the just as expensive Miele that looks and performs like it was designed 20 years ago and not in a bulletproof way.

In the last year we’ve gone through three Shark vacuums. We have 75% carpet, 3600 sf, a very hairy Golden, and two little kids. We vacuum our main areas 2-3x a week. We just bought a Sebo Felix last weekend after a ton of research. We spent more on the Sharks in the last year than we did on the Sebo, and it comes with a 10yr warranty (and should last 20 years)! Honestly, it’s the best vacuum we’ve had. Weighs a pound less than the $499 Shark Stratos that lasted a few months. Really maneuverable, although it can topple over if you use the hose (laying it down is fine due to hose length). And, I’m shocked how much I’m appreciative of the bag instead of being bag less! No dander smell from vacuuming, and no dusty bin to clean out. I’m shocked I spent $800 on a vacuum and will only tell strangers on the internet, buts it’s one of the most popular uprights for a reason.

Hi. Based on research on this sub, I bought the Kenmore 600 series canister a couple of weeks ago. Paid less than $300. I have medium pile plush carpet and it works very well. Gets all the pet hair. I find a canister easier to use on stairs. My other vac is a Shark Stratos upright and I have to say, my carpet looks better after using the Kenmore compared to the Shark. The Shark is better on hard surfaces. Both vacs are on the heavy side. The Kenmore also comes with quality attachments including a powered brush that is fantastic.

Bought the Kenmore 600 a week or so ago and like it a lot so far. We have medium plush and low berber carpet. Gets all the pet hair off. I have a Corgi that sheds like crazy. Canister is easy to use on stairs and with the attachments. The attachments are really nice. The Pet Powermate is terriifc. Haven't used it much on hard surfaces. My other vacuum is a Shark Stratos and it is outstanding on hard surfaces.

#1 brush as often as possible. I'm a self admitted clean freak and I hate hair. I've had many vacuums over the years. My previous vacuum was a Dyson animal that I loved when it actually was functional (I will unfortunately not be buying another Dyson). Now I have a Shark Stratos DuoClean PowerFins HairPro. I am not disappointed! Works great on the carpet and the vinyl floors. Next investment will be a robot vac/mop

Have a handheld shark with anti heair rap, more clunky & heavier than Dyson but far better suction & battery. Also have Henry for more serious debris as needed. We have no carpet. Look forward to the day when we can get a robot hoover friend

I use a Shark Stratos from Costco. It's been good, comes with lots of attachments. The dual brush and fins clean hard floors very well.

Absolute best, Dyson V15/16. Bang for your back, Shark Stratos. Both drains battery very quickly at the highest setting. There's just no way around that.
