Shark | Corded Stick Vacuum Cleaner | Vertex Ultralight | Removable Handheld Vacuum | Pet Hair Vacuum for Carpet and Hard Floor | Powerful Suction | No Hair Wrap | 3 Attachments Included | HZ2002

This is a great vacuum cleaner. We previously tried a Shark Navigator, but found it to be very hard to push on carpet. My wife could not push it at all. Bear in mains that this is not a self propelled model. We tried bleeding off suction, and that did not work. We ended up calling Shark customer service and we were told that this model had a reputation of being hard to push on carpet. Wish we had known this information before we bought one. When we buy a vacuum cleaner, we want one that will do all types of flooring. This Stratos model is lighter and easy to push on carpet. Also works well on tile and hardwood floors. The only negative is that it will not stand up on it’s own, unless you lean it against a wall. That is a small thing and something we can easily live with. It does have a small container for debris, but emptying it is easy. The suction is good. No problem collecting just about anything on the floors.

This is the best vacuum I've ever had. It's so powerful, works backwards and forward, the pet attachment makes cleaning the stairs (my least favorite) easier than ever. Super lightweight, the double rollers are new and work great, easy to empty, easy to change attachments, the auto detect for hard floor or carpet works perfectly. I kiss this vacuum!💋

We bought this to replace our Kenmore canister vacuum, which was more replacement parts than original. We bought this because it was well rated on Consumer Reports. We needed something that could handle area rugs and wood floors while not taking up too much space in our small apartment. I agree with other reviews that the cord is very stiff. Does this negatively affect the vacuum? No, but it's worth mentioning. I do wish the cord was either on a swivel or that it retracted into the vacuum, since the cord position does make it awkward to wrap the cord for storage since the cord at the top of the handle will be pulled 180 degrees downwards. It makes me worried about wear and tear as time goes on. The vacuum is very lightweight. I do agree though that due to the bulk of the weight being at the top near the handle, it does put some strain on your hand as you maneuver. It's not world-ending though. People complain about the size of the canister. I don't care that it's "small". I can see how full it is and it's really easy to empty and re-insert. Takes less than a minute, so it doesn't really interrupt my vacuuming. On the old Kenmore, we often didn't realize the bag was full and would keep using it anyways since we'd have to physically open the case to check the bag status. It's nice to easily see how much the Shark has picked up and when it's time to empty. The Shark is very powerful. The first time we used it on the rug, it picked up so much dirt that our Kenmore had been missing, even with adjusting the pile level. I typically chose either the rug or hard floor setting on the vacuum -- the sensor mode does an OK job, but sometimes it will switch floor types which won't always be the best setting to use. I personally don't like the odorizer. I have it on the lowest odor setting possible. Thankfully the smell dissipates quickly. Overall, for $200, this is a good vacuum. If it were to break in 2-3 years, I wouldn't be too upset and would just purchase another.

Has a lot of suction power works great, the only thing I don't like is I can't vacuum my throw rugs because it sucks it up and will not turn the rug loose . The power has to be cut off and then rug pulled out of vacuum head. It really cleans well, and its easy to clean and empty the dirt canister .

My shark that I have had for 20 years finally bit the dust I purchased this shark because I have two dogs that leave Hair everywhere. This is an amazing vacuum. It picks up the hair off our wood floors and the handpiece for the furniture is amazing all the hair comes up. I recommend it 10+. It’s easy to use, easy to empty the dirt. Lightweight it’s amazing.

This is my second Shark corded Stick Vacuum and this one is a couple step up from the basic model, so easy to assemble. The minute it was out of the box I had to use it. Mind you I cleaned today with my older Hoover today. Oh my gosh does our carpet look great, lots of suction and love the new brush! Our carpet has never felt so good! I was impressed at the length of the power cord. This model sits lower than the other model and it glides over the carpet also it's quiet! Well worth the money that we paid for it. This will make vacuuming much easier.

This vacuum is most certainly easy to clean the floor. It's kind of too strong when it comes to carpets. The carpet in my family's house is a Berber carpet. It has no issues with the carpet, but you can still feel the power and suction. My niece accidentally vacuumed her tweezers, and even after I disapproved of her actions, because she should have paid attention to what she was vacuuming, I was very impressed! The design is sleek and easy to handle. The extra roller helps picking up things that only one roller couldn't do. If you have two rollers, it's easier to pick up more items. The storage capacity is equal to 1 living room and a hallway. I'm talking about a 60-foot by 120-foot room! That's quite impressive, and then you add a normal-sized hallway. That's a lot of distance the vacuum can cover before having to dump the container. Portability is comfortable and light. I can easily pick up the middle of the bar and pick it directly up with some front pressure because of the front roller area. I'm a tad bit stronger than most people, which is odd because I don't lift weights, and it feels very light. This is a corded vacuum, so I don't notice any battery life issues. If I were to get the battery version, I could give you an assessment on the product's battery longevity, but due to the construction of the vacuum, I cannot provide or give a review on the battery life. Additional note: The motor in the Shark PowerDetect vacuum is actually quieter than the last three sharks I've had. When it comes to vacuuming with the previous Sharks, I've had to put on a headset so I can reduce the sound. With the Shark PowerDetect, I can vacuum like normal while talking with people.

I got this vacuum because I wanted an expensive vacuum that I thought did everything. However, it wasn’t what zi thought it would be. Pros of this vacuum cleaner. It’s tall, it has accessories to use on furniture and the stairs. The top comes off and you can put into the bottom vacuum part which works well while cleaning the stairs. The suction is really good, and it is very sturdy. Cons of this vacuum cleaner. They put the wheels so close together that the vacuum doesn’t stand up by itself and falls over, which I have no idea who would design a vacuum like that. Especially when you have to keep stopping and either take the top off and lay it on the floor or lay the whole vacuum down. Very frustrating! And the dust collector is very small, so you have to constantly dump it out frequently. And they put the dust collector in back of the vacuum so you can’t even see it, to see if it’s full unless you look keep an eye on the back of the vacuum. The accessories are kind of hard to use because they don’t pivot around. I have a Shark Apex I got in 2021, which isn’t as advanced or have all the bells and whistles, but it stands up by itself and works really well and was much cheaper. I’ll keep the vacuum because it does help with cleaning the furniture and the stairs well, but I’ll use my cheaper one for most everyday use. It was on sale. If it was full price, not really worth the money.
