Stratos XL 2.6 Litre Corded Upright Vacuum Cleaner, AZ3000UKT | with Anti Hair Wrap Plus & Anti Odour, Pet, Crevice and Multi-Surface Tools, Transforms to Portable Vacuum, 800W, Navy Blue

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!

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.

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.

Was initially impressed with the suctio although not as powerful as other reviews have stated even on full power. Make sure you have some black Electrical tape handy also as the first thing it did was run over the really long cord which luckily I managed to turn it off before it exposed the wires!. Not a good start for such an expensive Hoover, my other Shark never did this however many times it went over the cord so not sure why this model likes to do it.. I would not say it was any more powerful, just has a larger bin capacity and has the same weight and looks a bit nicer. The anti hair wrap is the same, stability is good and I like the different height levels for different floors.. The lights are better, the tools are good and the cord length is better.. Also the tools and parts came wrapped in recycle brown paper which I liked instead of more plastic. Also not quite sure of the Anti Odour system... I could not smell anything at all even on high setting. Not quite 5* because of the damage to the cord after just 5 minutes!.. be aware of this if you want to buy it.

Brought this a while ago and I have to say it’s been amazing the last 7 months of use. Slightly heavy however I can not fault it, super long cord, works great on both thick pile carpet and lvt, the lift away is perfect for the stairs, and reaching the ceilings, having the power button on the handle is so much easier

I've had shark vacuums now for many years and this will be the 4th shark I've had. The design of these vacuums are second to none. As a professional cleaner, not wanting to buy commercial vacuums which are heavy, ugly and expensive, this particular shark vacuum is larger and extremely well made making it capable of the endurance work that I put it through everyday but so efficient and easy to use it's a joy to work with. This model even has an odour control pod which is a nice touch but might prove expensive as it's used so much. The lift away is perfect for stairs and high areas and so easy to lift away and and replace. The hose release is so easy making swapping from vacuuming floors to high areas a piece of cake. I honestly wouldn't have anything else. It is the perfect work mate and customers always compliment how clean and dust free their homes are. Considering the larger size of the vacuum, it's still light weight and easy to carry.

Cant fault this vacuum cleaner works well and reaches every where, would be nice if they added places to store the accessories but then I guess we cant have every thing

Pros - does a great job of sucking up dust/dirt and hair. It really does give the carpet a good clean. That is what the one star is for. Cons - Too heavy. I am fairly fit and able but this machine certainly brings no pleasure to housework. Suction too powerful even on the lightest setting - anything loose (door mats/small rugs) will be gobbled up and you then have to extract it. The small wheels at the side of the main brush get clogged with hair and seize up - I have to use a sharp pointed knife to remove the hair and free them up. This happens every single time I use it. It's tedious. The brush doesn't clog up, but the fabric roller does. If you accidently run over the cable, it will damage it. The design is clunky and certainly not ergonomic. The on/off switch is hard to push, even with fairly strong hands. All in all I regret purchasing this. It is not meant for a small house - I think if you have large rooms and expanses of floor, then it may be okay if you are fit enough to push it around. For my small house it is hopeless. My old Shark was much more versatile and I bought this machine on the strength of my previous experience and I feel I have wasted my money.

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
