THE VERDICT: The is MOST powerful stick vacuum I’ve tried thus far.. it’s honestly almost self-propelled there’s so much suction. I’ve decided to keep this one and move on from the Shark Vertex- this Stratos is definitely more appropriate for pet hair! Still lightweight (a bit lighter than the Vertex) —super light when just using the hand vac (easy to hold over head for walls, ceiling, etc.), relatively quiet and has this cool odor deodorizer (definitely synthetic fragrance— think laundry detergent but surprisingly NOT overwhelming — I guess I can stop dropping essential oils in my vacuums 🤣🤣) plus, a larger canister. This would be a nice upright vac replacement for someone that doesn’t want to deal with a 20 lbs vaccuum plus wants extra versatility of the hand vac + furniture + crevice tools. Maybe keep this one on your 2nd floor even? 🦈 Score the Shark Stratos Corded Stick Vacuum for $239.99 when you login in with a new email address and use code HSN2023. The regular price is $299 —which is what it’s currently listed on Amazon for. So many stick vacuums do not have HEPA filters or self-cleaning brushes meant for pet hair (or postpartum mamas 🤪)and this one DOES!!
