I have a Shark upright from about 2010 that is one of the best designed pieces of tech I’ve used. I can’t praise it enough. And it’s last 15 years so far. Similar to this: https://www.sharkninja.com/shark-stratos-duoclean-powerfins-hairpro-upright-vacuum/AZ3002.html

I have had three labs at a time over the last 18 years, so LOTS of lab hair as you can imagine, and I’ve tried MANY different vacuums from cheap to Dyson. I swear by the Shark Rotator Pet Upright and Shark Stratos Upright. Love them both. Got them on Amazon. The amount of hair they pick up is phenomenal. Constantly ask my babies how they aren’t bald. Lol The lift away on the Stratos has also been amazing because it helps me get to hard to reach places.

I also have this. The first time I used it after having a Dyson the dust canister was full from JUST the lounge. You don’t know what you’re missing - literally. Pro tip- buy extra scent pods when you purchase.

I had a shark rotator then got the shark stratos pet xl. It has fins instead of bristles. The stratos did have less roller tangles, but the Rotator gets way more hair out of the carpet even though it is several years older.

I have a Shark Stratos upright and it has been working really well for me. I have 2 dogs that shed and my long hair that gets everywhere. The suction is way stronger than my previous shark vacuum.

Shark Stratos. You've got to spend the money. The less expensive ones don't have as much suction.

I have carpet in my bedrooms and living room and the best thing that’s worked on that is the Shark Stratos upright corded vacuum. I use a shop vac mostly for the hardwood floors, and did use a eufy robo vacuum for a while but it just couldn’t keep up! (Two long haired husky home here)

Shark Stratos XL 2.6 Litre Corded Upright Vacuum Cleaner with Anti Hair Wrap Plus & Anti Odour- had a Henry before which was great suction but this picks up all our jack Russell hair

Shark stratos XL pet. It's disgustingly effective. I have a golden retriever and a cat with a short double coat, I know loads about what does and doesn't work.

Shark stratos XL. Vacuumed with the old Hoover two days before buying the shark. Filled the can with one room. It sucks the best out of all five vacuums in the house.
