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 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 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.
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.
