OMG I'm in love

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Shark US - Shark Cordless Stratos with Clean Sense IQ - Cordless Vacuum is just wow. I was in need of a cordless stick vacuum and I hit the jackpot when I got this. It has great suction, meaning it picks up everything. I also like the IQ sense adjusting the power when it needs too (more dust or dirt) I was also pleasantly surprised when I noticed it reclines flat to allow you to go under just about anything. I would recommend it to my family and friends.

Best Vacuum EVER!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Shark Cordless Stratos with Clean Sense IQ - Cordless Vacuum - model IZ862H is by far THE best vacuum I have ever owned in my 44 years on this planet. I am not the type of person to outsource any of my home projects and that includes cleaning. I like my home cleaned in a very specific way and in a way only I can clean it as well as I like. I have been working with a 17 year old traditional style vacuum for bigger cleaning days and a stick vacuum for daily cleanings. Both vacuums are from competitors and cannot even slightly compare (even when brand new). The Shark has the best suction I have ever seen in a vacuum. As soon as my new vacuum was charged and ready to go I tried it out on my area rug near my rear entry door. We are currently working on our yard and have dirt tracked in daily. The amount of dirt this vacuum sucked up was amazing (and disgusting). My rug looked clean and fluffy and almost brand new again after just one vacuum. I love that the sense IQ technology can differentiate between hardwood floors and carpet. It can also tell when more suction is needed in an area. Another great feature is that I can remove the top portion and use it as a hand vacuum. There are two attachments to use with it. The vacuum canister is incredibly easy to empty without getting your hands dirty. The other feature I love is that the battery is removable to charge. I can put the vacuum away and just keep the small battery out to charge. I absolutely recommend this vacuum to anyone. I'm looking forward to try out more Shark products in the future.

Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I were excited to receive this vacuum. We put it together and used it the first day that we got it. It does come with a 30% charge so you will need to charge it when you first get it. It takes quite awhile to charge and we felt like the charge didn't last as long so it would've been nice if it included a second battery or if it lasted a little longer. It has an odor neutralizer so while you're vacuuming it makes the air smell good after you vacuum which makes you want to vacuum more. The suction is great. It's pretty tiny and it folds which makes it easier to store. Overall, we love it and we highly recommend it!

Looks cool, doesn't work as advertised

I was excited to try the Stratos Cordless Vacuum, but I used it once and packed it back up and returned it to Shark. There were SO many things wrong with this vacuum, but maybe I have been spoiled after years of owning Dysons. My entire home is LVP and ceramic tile - no carpet in the home at all, so this shouldn't have been a challenge. - Edge cleaning was non-existent either from the sides of the head or from the front. Despite the power head appearing small, it is bulky and the cleaning elements do not extend side to side. Debris could not be picked up when running the edge of the head directly against the baseboards, nor would it work by turning the power head so that the front of the unit was against the baseboards. I literally had to sweep the perimeter of each room before vacuuming! - Vacuum will not stand up in the fully extended position, even when leaning against the wall. Tried multiple times to lean the unit up against a wall to move something (ottoman, sidetable, etc) to vacuum under or around. The vacuum WILL NOT STAND UP. - Having to fold the unit down to store is inconvenient and it takes up more room than if it could stand upright for storage and charging. - No charging station, just a plug in wallwart. No available wall mount storage system to corral the variety of accessories in a convenient manner. - Although it may get better after battery conditioning, I was not impressed with the run time despite that fact that I used the unit on ECO due to the fact that I do not have carpet in my house. Highly suggest getting a second battery if you have more than 1000 square feet of floor to vacuum. - The MultiFlex wand is a cool feature, but with the exception of my bed (which is elevated about 8” off the floor) the power head is still too bulky to fit under the majority of my furniture.

Love this vacuum!

My last vacuum was a Shark Rocket. Still have it and works great but the cord was annoying me so I splurged on the Ninja. I love how lightweight it is and the power is exceptional for a cordless. It's better than the Rocket in overall cleaning ability. I also love the clean sense feature. Glad I have this in my life

My new favorite toy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am one of those strange people who absolutely loves vacuum cleaners! We are a family of 5 and we have a cattle dog who sheds constantly so I vacuum several times a day. I have used Shark vacuums over the last several years and I've always been happy with them but this one tops them all! I know it might be a small detail but this vacuum has a headlight and it really helps to make sure that I can see all of the dog hair on the floor and pick it all up. I must admit, vacuuming at night with the headlight is my new favorite thing to do. Don't judge! This vacuum has two rollers which ensures that all of the dirt and hair gets picked up properly. I also love that it folds in half so it is easy to store and keep out of the way. This also includes an odor neutralizing disk that sits on the top of the vacuum head, since I have not had it that long I can't speak to how well that works. This vacuum also has a sensing technology where it can increase and decrease the suction based upon how clean or dirty it thinks your floor is. At first, I'll admit, I was a bit taken back by it because it was changing speed constantly. I'm fine with it now. This vacuum also comes with a fantastic warranty so make sure you register your product! There is a two-year warranty on the battery and a very generous five year warranty on the vacuum itself. In my experience, shark has excellent customer service if you run into any issues. All in all, I am super happy with this vacuum and would highly recommend it to anybody who has a pet that sheds as much as ours does! Great product!

Worst vacuum I've ever purchased

I bought this about a year ago, and it's by far the worst vacuum I've ever had. Already had to get a replacement motor after 90 days. Still runs very loudly, Constantly gets clogged, does terrible on area rugs, battery dies quickly. I'm not sure what this vacuum would be good for, but the price is outrageous. I wish shark would take it back and put the price towards a different one, because I've never had this much of an issue with their products. I've always been a loyal shark customer, but this vacuum has been such a disappointment.

Best Vacuum Ever!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Shark Cordless Stratos with Clean Sense IQ - Cordless Vacuum is amazing! This little light weight vacuum has a lot of suction power to get pet hair easily. I love the light on the vacuum, that way you can see all the dirt and hair for easy pick up. This has an automatic suction power that turns on by itself when needed! I love that. Only thing I don't like is the canister gets full quickly so you have to empty it a lot. Other than that this is very easy to use and by far the best quality made vacuum!

Verified Purchase

Don't like having to charge it

It's definitely not like my first cordless shark with 2 batteries
