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

I need a powerful vacuum for my high pile carpet, it worked well on low pile and would do well with medium pile. While this is powerful and has great suction, it doesn’t work for high pile carpet. This vacuum is very heavy. Make sure you pick up anything you don’t want sucked into the vacuum because the second it gets close it’s too late. It is self propelling but it really pulls and it takes some effort to pull it back. I detached the base to use it as a handheld, but even that piece is really heavy. The hose isn’t very long so you have to carry the base with you. It has no wheels and tips over easily. This vacuum is very solid and well made, it just doesn’t work for me. I’m returning it.

Great suction power. Does great on carpets and hard surface floors. It is a little heavy. Motor over heats and will shut the unit off temporarily which I don’t like. The dust container detaches easy but is a little wonky when re-attaching. The odor blocking technology is just and replaceable air freshener like you would put in your car. The new roller fins are better than the old brush rollers and haven’t tangled so far. Just curious tho if the rubber fins will hold up or tear after a while.

This vacuum has a lot of nice features and is easy to use. It cleans very well. My only critique is that it is a bit clumsy to use and heavier than what you would think.

This monster has great suction but its big and hard to maneuver. Im still having to use my old reliable canister vacuum for corners, tight spaces and to get under things. Its particularly hard to push if youre against the grain on rugs. After vacuuming my 3K sq ft house I feel like Ive been in a match with a sumo wrestler. If youre using it on big open spaces it really gets the dirt out but if youre looking for maneuverability and need to get under and around tight spaces you might want to avoid this machine. Its BIG and heavy.

I rarely write reviews, but I am so impressed with this vacuum that it has to be done! I have two Australian Shepherd pups and two children under the age of 10. My house always has dirt tracked in and all other sorts of messes are constantly being made. I have a brand new carpet, and hardwood floors and this vacuum does it all! After going through two cheap vacuums in the last year, I decided to splurge on this Shark. I compared and read reviews on several different brands and models before deciding on this one and I can honestly say that I couldn’t be happier! A few of my favorite things about this vacuum and comments to the pictures I included. The first picture I posted shows a small area of my room that I vacuumed. As you can see the amount of dog hair and dust that it collected was mind blowing! In addition, there’s an extra trap that caught a necklace my son made without damaging or getting caught in the rollers. I finished vacuuming my room, and found no hair had attached to the rollers. This is a huge deal for me (and a big reason I splurged on this vacuum) because I despised cleaning and cutting hair out of the rollers every time with previous vacuums. With the power lift option and powered hand attachment, I was able to clean my carpeted stairs with ease. It has incredible suction and devoured the dog hair and crumbs embedded deep within my couches. It’s absolutely magical and has made cleaning house so much easier. No dust, debris, or odors using this vacuum. You will not be disappointed!
