Stratos XL 2.6 Litre Corded Upright Vacuum Cleaner with Hair & Odor Remover, Pet Tools, Crevices & Multi-Surfaces, Converts to Portable Vacuum Cleaner, 800W 2.6

I got this Shark Stratos XL to replace my old cordless one, which after 4+ years, was starting to lose suction, and just not doing as good a job as I wanted it to. This one was very easy to set up, everything basically clicks into each other, but the instructions are lovely and clear. I was also very pleased to see all the accessories and pieces were wrapped in brown paper, no plastic in sight! It did take me a minute or two to insert the anti-odour disc, I've never seen one of those before, and you have to insert it before first use. It was pretty simple to do though, you just remove it from the metal can it comes in, line up the arrows and push it into place, then turn it until it clicks, and choose your intensity level. After using it for the first time, I can honestly say this is in a whole other league. It is so powerful, it's cleaned my carpets and hard floors amazingly, my carpets look brand new again! I have young children, so I vacuum every day, sometimes more than once! But look at how much dust this picked up from my living room only, I was shocked! (see my photos) The accessories are great, you get a thin crevice tool, a wider surface tool, and then the pet tool, which also has the anti-hair wrap technology built in. The anti-hair wrap you get with a Shark is a huge positive for me personally, I've had other brands of vacuum over the years which don't have this, and I was forever pulling hair from the brush bar. Not with a Shark! You can use it multiple ways, so cleaning the stairs, under furniture, or getting rid of high up cobwebs etc, is a breeze! I will just say, that is is quite bulky in size. It's also much heavier than what I'm used to, and it will take me a while to get used to having a cord again, but overall I am very happy and impressed. This is the power I wanted from my cordless stick, but it just wasn't up the job. I would definitely recommend!

بعد مابحثت على عدة مقاطع تقارن افضل المكانس, صفيت بالمكنسه هذي و لو ان سعرها جدا غالي الصراحه الكنس بالراس (اللي تحت) جدا ممتاز و يشفط جميع الغبار في الفرش و السجاد لكن الكنس اليدوي جدا جدا جدا جدا ضعيف لدرجة ان انا احتاج اضع شي فيه لكي يشفطه قد يعود الامر الى ان الواطات عندنا 220 و هو 240 لكن هذا للعلم

Amazing quality and value. Bought to replace a similar model by Shark but this is far superior. Suction is the best we've ever had, in standard mode or as lift away, much stronger than the replaced shark in both modes. The bin is much bigger than the old one. Everything about it is more robust and stronger in function and design than the standard shark designs. Edge cleaning is better than the other Shark. Still fits under the same furniture and the lights are great. Bin removal feels more robust and it's definitely better on lift away mode. Being chunkier it is easier to stand up without the base. Luckily there 3 floor type selections because on the strongest roller and suction settings it grips our large rug and moves the entire thing and would be impossible to use. Didn't expect it to be this much better than the other Shark we used, prices weren't that different but this is clearly a flagship model and had a big price drop. It is so strong that it will instantly strip the casing of electrical cable then shred the exposed wires I'd expect, luckily only got to the outer stripping part! So be careful, it's incredible, the rollers seem super powered and are definitely not getting clogged with the hair as the other Shark used to. It's getting the dog hairs out of the rug and upstairs carpets much more effectively. We loved our old Shark and it was a no brainer to replace with the same brand but don't dnt realise this was a huge step up in every way. Insane value for money tbh. Doesn't mark our engineered oak flooring despite it's huge increase in lower It Is unusual looking, many Shark are but this looks more industrial, more purposeful, I guess the looks for the function. 100% recommended this model, no negatives at all.

Cleans ever so well. We have a black Lab and his hairs go everywhere and this machine cleans them all up from our thick carpets. The powered brush hasn't clogged up with hair or bits of thread yet, and that's after using it for months. And it's a powered brush! This is the main reason I bought this vacuum as I was sick of turbo brushes on my Henry getting lazy over time. I love the way it comes apart at the push of a button so you can easily carry the dust collector (the bit with the motor) up the stairs to clean them. Filtration is good, three separate filters, two washable and one where you can tap out the dust. Buy yourself a spare set. The dust collector holds a decent amount of stuff, just over a weeks worth of vacuuming (we live in a fairly big semi detached gaff). The other thing I love about it is that it will happily roll from a hard floor and onto a doormat, I've never had a vacuum cleaner that does this before. Criticisms: The power cord is almost long enough to reach without swapping sockets. 1 more metre, please. The dust collector needs two hands to open it, I would like to have it open with one hand at arms length over the bin instead. It's a little heavy to push round (but heavy means quality, right?) These criticisms are for Shark to read really, don't let me put you off buying one. I would buy this same unit again in a heartbeat, it's a brilliant machine, sucks like a hole in a spacesuit and picks everything up, right to the edge of the carpet.

Wanting to invest in another vacuum cleaner with better suction (cordless Shark better for Lino floors rather than carpet) I opted for this model to deal with my black labrador’s all year round hair loss. I’m really impressed with the Shark Stratos Pet Pro. With clear instructions it was super easy to unpack and put together and whilst it is indeed a bit on the heavy side (don’t be put off by that alone as it’s a really solid vacuum cleaner) it picked up the dog hair with ease, including lots more dust that was trapped in the carpet. I have to vacuum everyday and after the first use there was far less dust in the container, so clearly not just ripping up carpet fibres. The dust collector is easy to remove and as entire bottom flap opens emptying is also easy, if not a little dusty. I do struggle to reconnect it back on the main base, more practice required ! My only gripe is that the pipe is not very long and is stiff which tips the Shark unit if you try to pull it too far away. Even when you ‘lift away’ the dust collector it feels cumbersome and awkward to use and the suction is definitely not as good when compared to my Henry vacuum cleaner. Having said that, if you’re looking to purchase one because pet hair is the bane of your life, I can highly recommend this vacuum cleaner, it is superb for this purpose!
