Shark Stratos at Amazon: geni.us/B6Nj4Ns

Hello sir, I just wanted to be sure to thank you for your videos. Your methods, explanations, and visual demos of how you test all of these vacuums are second-to-none. I watched several of your videos this evening, and you have helped me to make the best decision for my needs. I'm not exaggerating when I say that your videos have cut my research from maybe about a week to just an hour or two. So thank you so much!!!

I have gone through 3 vertex vacuums. The first lost suction but would turn on after first use. Returned it right away and they gave me a new one... 2nd one the belt broke and the brush stopped spinning. Returned it and got a new one. Last one just died yesterday. motor blew it wont even turn on now. I have lost all faith in that vacuum. I'm going to try something else.

Wow, thanks!

To anyone who looks at this video and is still wondering if its worth the money to get it then I will say yes it is. I had been sick for sometime now and have three pets to tend to as well. The shark stratos was put to its absolute limit with how much hair and dust it had to suck up and after multiple dust bin dumps that filled up an entire trash bag I can say that this vacuum cleaner is worth every single penny today. Its versatility with going from carpet to hard flooring was tremendously helpful along with the power lift away. The turbo brush attachment turned cleaning the furniture off less of a chore and more so fun. Needless to say watching VacuumWars video had helped me make a decision since I'm going from a 80$ vacuum cleaner that's many years old to a now top of the line model that works wonders.

I bought the Dyson Animal 3 and the new Shark Stratos. All I will say is I returned the Dyson. The Stratos hands down picks up much more pet hair than the Dyson did. In fact it's not even close plus the Shark is much better on our hard floors. The Shark is also much easier to maneuver around obstacles and believe it or not having a light on it actually is a benefit. I was always a Dyson person but the Shark 🦈 won me over.

I would love to see that glow in the dark allergen test they did in the Shark Promo you clipped on your channel. I find it interesting that they did that for the cheap vacuum but not for theirs.

Just found out why I can't get one!! Haha been long awaiting your review on this and was ready to by one before seeing this it because they have a sweet deal on it right now but I had my order canceled 3 times because it's been out of stock the past 3 days. After seeing your review I'm sure a lot of your subscribers have taken the plunge due to your stellar review of this new vacuum! Was debating just getting the vertex cause I don't know when the stratos will be back in stock but now I'm torn seeing your review maybe it's worth the wait but my vacuum is on its last leg so I don't have long to wait!! 🙏🏽

the vertex is just as good. Better actually

How does it compare to the vertex? The vertex has a 12in brush roll while the Stratos has a 10in brush roll. Do you think that is why the Stratos has a slightly better pickup on carpets? Which one would you recommend, the Stratos or Vertex for cleaning pretty large carpeted areas with lots of foot traffic? Also which one "feels" better? In sense of build quality? I know this is a vague question, but it still has some merit to it. It seems as if they are pretty similar. I just need a good workhorse. I am welcoming anyone for suggestions.

Wait, but how loud is it? I settled on getting the duo clean after your review on it and was so ecstatic that I could have a conversation while running it, or still be able to listen to my shows while cleaning. I'm surprised a decibel measurement wasn't included in this one, I could've sworn it's been done before for other reviews.

My parents told me to bargain shop and it was between Stratos Shark deal vs Dyson animal 3. Shark OFFERS an extra 20% discount after you purchase from their website.because the deep cleaning was still possible plus they LOVE the deal and 5 year warranty.

Love this new design from Shark, it seems pretty neat! I'd be interested in seeing how this new model stands up to the other high end Sharks as well as how it stands up to the new Dyson Ball 3 in a head-to-head video.

I agree. And you can't open up the brushroll cover like you can on the Apex. The only good thing I can notice on this one is that might be able to replace the small wheels easier on the floor nozzle as they wear out pretty easily. Apex is still better then the Vertex and Stratos.

Thank you so much for all your number-based testing. This gives me complete confidence in buying vacuums every time. I have a question, with the Shark Vertex, I find the soft brushroller spreads the car hair around in clumps and I have to vacuum the same spot way more times than with our previous Shark Apex. Its quite frustrating and I wonder if that issue has been solved with the Shark Stratos?

I cannot help but notice that you've not included the airflow at the head measurement in both this and the Dyson animal 3 reviews. I think it's far more important to know what you're getting for airflow at the surface than at the hose.

From what I’ve seen this vacuum seems to be just like the vertex which I absolutely LOVE! Recently bought the animal 3 so will wait a little bit of time before purchasing this one. But I certainly have it on my planner. I’m still using my vertex every day and it is the best vacuum I’ve ever purchased. It’s seriously that good.

I need a Stratos to finish off my Shark collection!

They have code right now on the Shark website for $299 . Our old 7 year Shark needs to be replaced and for $299 that's sounds like a winner in my book.

I miss the shark powered lift away speed. It’s smaller form factor made working with it easier. As well as the smaller powered head fitting under more chairs. (I do commercial cleaning)

One aspect I think you should add to your reviews, at least for shark vacuums, is if the handle has lights on it. I had the apex duo clean which had led lights on the handle, and I replaced it with the vertex when it came out. I was quite disappointed with shark, that they removed the lights on the handle with the vertex. It's a very under appreciated feature on a vacuum for it comes in handy so many times especially when using the handle when vacuuming under furniture and such where it's dark. I've purchased every new shark vacuum since my 1st one with the rotator. But until they put lights back on the handle, I'll be skipping out on the Stratos. The apex duo clean is still the top shark vacuum for me because of that.

Are the brushes on the main roller soft, like on the Vertex, or stiff, like on most vacuums (the Navigator 352 for example)? Performance on carpet is my top priority. IMO the power fins and soft brushes are the reason the Vertex performance on carpet isn't top notch. Any advice appreciated.

Does this experience any loss of suction or performs similar to the dysons ?

i like how they replaced the platic flaps with brush strips but still think the original navigator brush roll was best

Would you choose it over the apex?

I'm buying a new home and going to upgrade my old shark vacuum. I am stuck on this stratos upright or the stratos corded stick vacuum. Do you have any reviews on the corded stick version? Wondering if it has a much suction and power as this upright. Love your channel btw ❤️

So what would be the vacuum you recommend right now. That does not have bags.

I just can't wait to see the review for the new cordless model (when it's out) compared to the vertex. It would be nice to also see a quick comparison with each of the different cordless verse styles since it has changed.

I was about to buy the Stratos but noticed the hose length is just under 3ft. My previous NV501 has a 8ft hose so I'm worried about the difference

It's nice how the Stratos can get a 100% in deep cleaning. I don't recall another Shark Duoclean that could get to a perfect 100%.

I just ordered the Stratos for the odor neutralizing feature. My last 2 vacuums have developed an odor from the exhaust and I always clean the bin after use, change filters, and make sure the vacuum is clean over all. I have a few dogs so I assume it's from their hair that the odor develops. Hopefully this solves the problem since changing a cartridge every 6 months is cheaper than a vacuum every 2 years or so
