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

I researched this vacuum heavily before buying it and honestly I was not sure it was going to be as good as everyone said. I was wrong. The vacuum is stellar. I can tell that it's cleaning the carpet in a way that it was not cleaned by my old Shark vacuum because of what I see in the dust cup as they call it.. it's hardly a cup it's huge. The one thing they don't tell you in all the reviews and videos that I watched is that the motorized brush rollers are really powerful. I'm 72 but fairly strong very physically active/fit and this thing just about ran away with me. It was a workout to use it. Not in a bad way but still a workout. The forward is easy..but on the backstroke you've got to really pull against those brushes that want to go forward. Very impressive results so far. I might update this after three or four months of using it. I have a low pile ribbed carpet and I've been using it on the medium setting which seems to be appropriate for this carpet. I've not tried it on my hardwood floors yet. All I can say is the suction is very strong and puts my older.Shark Navigator and classic Miele cannister vacuum to shame. Completely worth the slightly higher price, very easy to put together right out of the box,. I couldn't be more satisfied.

This is my second Shark Vertex, model az2002. The first one lasted 5 years. The plastic swivel component that attached to the floor vacuum literally broke in pieces, a small piece first, then a large piece, then all of it. It would still vacuum, but not stand up, nor could you maneuver it. Tried repairing, gave up. I replaced it with a Shark Navigator lift away. I had previously owned one of those. After using the Navigator for 7 or 8 months, I decided to go back to the Shark Vertex. My reasons were, the Vertex is self cleaning. I have a great Pyrenees and a shepherd Pyrenees mix, a 2 small dogs. I vacuum every other day. It takes forever when you have to stop and clean the brush roll out. I also have a shag area rug, and when using the Navigator, even with adjusting the suction, it was more of a work out and struggle. I started looking at the Vertex model and caught it on sale on Amazon, I won't say what I paid, but it's a lot cheaper than what the price is now. Having said all this, the Vertex is worth it. The suction surpasses the Navigator, and it even dusts your floors. Long dog hair, no problem, vacuuming the car, got it. I dont find it to be heavy, or cumbersome. The Navigator is a good vacuum, but for me the Vertex is worth it, even if I only get another 5 years out of it.

This is by far the best vacuum I have ever owned! Is it a bit on the heavy side, yes, however it is very easy to turn and navigate. Shark has light on all the attachment ends, making it easier to see what you’re trying to get at- the mini self powered attachment head is amazing! You can completely remove the power unit and hose for doing stair which is awesome! The auto cycle is ok- I do find myself flipping through the modes ( just a touch button ) more often than not- It works on everything I’ve noticed so far, a little to well?! It has more power than you think! If you have low profile rugs ( thin runners ) this thing will inhale them. It doesn’t do any damage- it makes it a little annoying. 10/10 recommend this vacuum and yes get the extra refresh tablets for it! You’ll thank me later!

I bought a Shark vacuum about 7 years ago and the brush roll motor recently went out. Parts for that model are hard to find and the cost was enough that I decided to upgrade rather than try to repair it. Even though it broke I was happy with my Shark but I wanted to upgrade to address some of the shortcomings of that model and settled on this Shark PowerDetect. What do I like? It's very easy to assemble prior to your first use. Just a couple of connections and you're off. It cleans very well. I have pets, and a girlfriend and daughter who both have long hair. It works significantly than my old model. You can see and feel the difference. I was vacuuming when my old model broke. When I got this one a couple of days later I went over the same section of floor and it pulled out more dirt than I'm comfortable admitting. It's gets 5 stars for it's main purpose of picking up dirt. I also like the detection feature that changes based on what type of floor you're on or how close you are to a wall. The scent pod is fantastic. I don't even care if it's a money-grab. It works. My old vacuum had a slight smell even after completely cleaning it out and replacing all filters. The brush roll that prevents hair from getting tangled around it might be my favorite part. It really works. I was constantly having to clean the brush roll on my old model and haven't had any hair get stuck on the roll on this new model. I also like the change they made to the dust cup. In the old model stuff would get stuck inside and I'd have to open it from the top and pull some hair/dirt out. I don't have that issue at all with this one. Everything gets emptied when you open the bottom. What do I not like? The attachment points are very stiff. If I take the wand off I have to press hard to get it to latch when I put it back. I'm hoping this loosens up a little over time. There were a few times I'd put the wand back and go to start vacuuming and it disconnected. While the suction is fantastic, I have a couple of small rugs that I can't go over because it will pull them off the floor into the roll. Finally, and this has only happened one time, the PowerDetect feature went a little haywire while vacuuming and the suction was fluctuating even though I was in the middle of a carpeted floor. Not near anything and not going between floor types. I turned it off and back on and haven't had the problem again, even vacuuming the same spot that I was doing at that time. Other things to note. On some surfaces the suction is so good that the vacuum will propel itself forward, particularly if you're using it with the tank lifted off of the base. I don't mind it, it just requires a little firmer grip than I'm used to. It's also noticeably heavier than my older model. Again, not a big deal for me but might be more of an issue for some. Overall I'm very happy and would buy it again.

Excelente producto cumple muy bien con las expectativas de limpieza con muy buena succión y fácil manejo un producto muy recomendable

Fantastic vacuum, does a fantastic job

La mejor aspiradora que he tenido. Es súper potente, de verdad que no encontraras nada igual en ninguna otra aspiradora vertical. Tengo además dos roombas para el trabajo diario. Pero la Shark Vertex se lleva todos los honores en los trabajos más difíciles, desde aspirar brillantina y arena hasta cereal y croquetas de perro. Y aunque es un poco pesada nada se le compara a la hora de succionar todo a su paso. 100% recomendada.

Esta ha sido mi primera aspiradora, no tengo alfombras pero tengo gatos y había probado todo para controlar el pelo por la casa. Tiene una succión muy fuerte y aunque si hace falta dar una pasada a mano si hace una gran diferencia con y sin la aspiradora, ahora es mínimo lo que hago manual. Entre más la uso más cosas descubro y en general estoy muy contenta con la compra. Vi algunos comentarios que era pesada y no puedo comparar con otras pero no me parece difícil de manejar. Todas las partes se separan y es práctica de cargar para aspirar muebles y lugares altos como el árbol para los gatos.

I have owned this vacuum now for over three years. I live with two Labs that shed contently and need to vacuum daily. I have owned at least seven different vacs over the past 40 years always living with multiple dogs. This vac has outperformed all the vacuums that I have used. It is so well engineered and thoughtfully put together. The suction is incredible the rollers never get bunged up or clogged with hair. The ease of removing the main body from the business end of the vac allows for easy access to under furniture or use on stairs, not to mention the extra reach from the power plug that is obtained at least 5more feet. Clean out is a breeze with the trap door on the bin and the additional top door opening. It is such a good vacuum that I purchased one as a bonus for my G.M. when she mentioned she was looking for a vacuum. Although the cost is more than a lot of vacs but not as munch as the cordless hyped alternatives under the "D****" brand. Buy this vac you will not regret it.
