Upright Vacuum, Stratos with DuoClean PowerFins, HairPro, Powered Lift-Away, Self-Cleaning Brushroll, & Odor Neutralizer Technology, Navy, AZ3002

Incredible vacuum for pet hair! It has great versatility between the different modes, but all those options may take time to learn if you're coming from a simple vacuum. Thankfully, the included manual is great and if you're not a reader, all the knobs and buttons are labelled and their placement makes sense, so you'll figure it out eventually. Our apartment is mostly carpet and we have 2 cats. My spouse recently got diagnosed with asthma, so we upgraded our vacuum to try to get more of the hair and dander. This vacuum is incredible at picking up everything! The carpet looks new after and the results in the dust bin are amazing. This is a fairly heavy vacuum, so if you have an extremely large home or limited mobility, you may find your arm gets tired. It does roll really smoothly and you have a lot of control with turns/curves. At first I thought the light in front of the swivel head was a gimmick, but I was surprised with how useful it is. I was able to see a hidden paperclip in the carpet before running it over. Emptying the bin is an easy lever that also closes and re-latches the bin's lid without having to touch the dusty parts. Hair doesn't get stuck in the bin like other vacuums, it just falls right out. I appreciate this vacuum and it's a great upgrade. I have heard Shark products are not the longest lasting, but we've been using this regularly for almost 6 months now with no issues. Still great performance and I'd really recommend this to carpeted households with furry friends.

Product arrived undamaged and was very easy to assemble, no tools required and took less than 5 minutes. Used immediately on a large, low pile area rug that had just been vacuumed by our previous cleaner and the Sharked picked an entire canister of debris. Same result when I used the Shark on high pile carpet in bedroom. Works great on our tile and wood floors too. The Shark is light, easy to maneuver and easy to maintain.

This thing works fantastic. It is a little heavy but not a big deal to me. Suction is amazing. It really cleans well. Assembly was simple. Great value!! Cat hair doesn’t stand a chance. I would purchase this again and again!

Shark Stratos AZ3002. Pros: Great cleaning. Picks up dirt from previously vacuumed carpets. If you plan to use this only as an "upright" without the lift-away feature it is a fine vacuum. Buy it. Cons: Maneuverability isn't bad, but is nowhere near my old Shark UV810 that it replaced. There are only vestiges of the "lift-away" feature that helped make Shark successful with vacuums. The powerhead is wider and heavier, as is the lift-away portion. The wider powerhead may look like an advantage but it is not. I was disappointed my old UV810 had such a small head until I used it and found how easily it maneuvered under and around things. It could also be "steered" easily by turning the wrist. It could even be used easily on stairs with the lift-away feature and with the power button on the removable portion. The on-off power switch has been moved from the lift-away portion where it fell right under the thumb while carrying it, to the handle. Fine for use as an upright, but now need a third hand to operate it as a lift-away or when using tools. The dust container on my Shark UV810 emptied cleanly and easily. It convinced me "bagless" vacuums can be OK. As others have said, the dust container on the AZ3002 is a disaster. Popping it open with the new lever approach sends dust everywhere. Closing it up again sends dust everywhere. I am exploring solutions but it may require taking it outside to empty into the trash. The cord on the AZ3002 is shorter than our old UV810. This is more annoying than you might expect. Features other than pros and cons: The brush roll does seem to be self-cleaning as advertised. It is no longer "brushes," but fins. The old brush was easy and economical to replace. The main roller on the AZ3002 is no longer replaceable. We'll see if it holds up. The brightness of the lights on the AZ3002 disappoint compared to our old UV810, but are fine. They still don't work with the wand and tools. Several reviewers found the cord stiff. I wouldn't have noticed. Yes, as others have noted, tools will not stay on the storage pegs. Plan to carry them around with you. In summary, the AZ3002 excels at cleaning rugs and floors. I miss the convenient lift-away features on our old UV810. I always used it with the lift-away separated, which is now impractical.

If I could give 10 stars I would. Absolutely LOVE how well this vacuum works on dog hair. I have 6 dogs in my house and hair is obviously an issue. This vacuum fixed that issue. Lightweight. Long cord. Very easy to empty. Very strong suction to lift hair off of furniture and floors. Easy to use. Works great on hard floors. The only thing I would say is the hand held hose design is a little hard to maneuver sometimes. Otherwise would highly recommend.

Great vacuum lots of sucking power easy to take apart and clean. I really like the cartridge to help with odor. It is a bit heavy but it rolls with ease when it is engaged. I paid $300 back in February not sure why the price jumped up to $400.

Wow I love it! I have been a die hard Bissel fan for my entire adult life and the last one I got was the super fancy rose gold hepa pet vacuum cleaner less than a year ago btw! I used the bissell less than 24hrs ago and this was just one pass of just my bedroom!!! The carpet even feels softer like it fluffed it up! Holy cow the suction is great and no hair tangles!!! Insane dust pickup as you can see! This vacuum is quite a few inches taller than my other vacuum! Super easy to use! Definitely worth the money!

The suction is impressive on this vacuum. But you will get one heck of a workout, so switch arms. And many people will find that they are not able to use it, especially if older. The features on this are also a LOT less than the one I purchased around a decade ago. I THINK it was the NV752. It had SO many extra features, just tiny little things that made it easier to use. Example: You don't realize how much an LED light on the end of the wand matters, until you don't have one and you are under the bed, or reaching behind some furniture to clean, and because you can't see anything, you have to go get a flashlight... Then hold it while also moving the wand, trying to ensure it doesn't get stuck on anything, which with even the attachment can still happen. Oh, and it also had an LED by the handle, so if you just pulled it out with a brush, you had extra light shinning on what you were cleaning. It really makes a difference. I would like to have seen the motorized brush become basic on at least the higher models, like it was when I purchased the 752. Even with all this power, the air powered one stops at even the lightest pressure. And with pets, I need to clean vacuum the upholstery, so that is a necessity. It's hard to figure out which models actually carry it though. I'll admit to it being my fault, but I had thought I was getting a package with it being included. But after reading so much information, I may have gotten things mixed up. And that is on a microfiber material that is rather stiff (bought for toughness more than anything), so is easier to vacuum than other softer, possible bunching fabrics. Also, while the hose may technically be long... Good luck in using it without someone to hold and help stretch it for you. Even pulling it a foot requires effort and beyond that will start to move your unit. I guess they made it like this to prevent "sag". But with my previous one, I could go quit a ways without affecting the base, then when I put it back up, there was a plastic holder, where you slid in the male counterpart on the hose. Super simple and cheap to do. My hose never dragged along the carpet and I was actually able to USE it. Oh, on the brush at the front for hard floors. It really does help remove the dusty haze and keep them clean... BUT, it is also one of the things that makes it difficult to use on carpets. They really should have an option to lift it slightly for carpet, or even all the way, for those that only want to use it on hard flooring. Also, I recently spent about 15 minutes cleaning up behind the roller. Why isn't it open to suction behind it, so that the vacuum can pull the debris out??? Instead, if it doesn't get caught by the vacuum at the floor level, then it pulls it up behind it, until enough gathers that it refuses to turn. I need to pull out the directions so I can see how to properly take it apart. But I used two small screwdrivers, while moving the roller back and forth, to get all the gunk that had built-up out of the casing behind the roller. It just kept coming and coming. lol You would think they could have come up with a better design. Or if not that, an easier way to remove the buildup, so that they can EASILY be cleaned. But that is something Shark has never been good with, easy access for cleaning. I remember a past model was very difficult. And I think a screw was so cheap and "soft", that because they put it in so tight, I striped it trying to remove and had to take more severe action to finally get it off. Remember when you could just flip a latch and you were finished a couple of minutes? Why all the screws and the need to pull out instructions to properly do it (so you don't loose your warranty by accidentally breaking something)? Last thing I will advise, and it's a bit embarrassing to admit, but check that all the parts are there, including the ones that may already be installed, such as your filters. I made that mistake and found out today, that my HEPA filter was missing. I of course called Shark and was told that I needed to have contacted them within 30 days. I figured that would be the response, but had hoped SOMETHING might be done. I didn't even get the typical lame offer of 10% off their inflated OEM prices. lol I did ask that an official complaint be filed, so that it might help someone else in the future, when this happens to them. In summary, if I was just rating it on the suction, it would be a 5. On actual use, design, and ease of everything else, I'm giving it a 2. The no filter thing, then not willing to even give me a discount, is still kind of raw since it happened less than an hour ago. lol I remember when Shark had really great CS. Now the lady I spoke with was very nice, but when you call overseas, they will mindlessly follow every rule. Or that is what has been my experience. While with call centers located in the US, you are more likely to get people that say they can't do anything themselves, but don't think this situation is right, so with my permission are going to ask for an exemption, or forward it to someone that can override the "rules".
