Shark HZ3002 Stratos Ultralight Corded Stick Vacuum with DuoClean PowerFins HairPro, Self-Cleaning Brushroll, & Odor Neutralizer Technology, Navy

This is a great vacuum cleaner. We previously tried a Shark Navigator, but found it to be very hard to push on carpet. My wife could not push it at all. Bear in mains that this is not a self propelled model. We tried bleeding off suction, and that did not work. We ended up calling Shark customer service and we were told that this model had a reputation of being hard to push on carpet. Wish we had known this information before we bought one. When we buy a vacuum cleaner, we want one that will do all types of flooring. This Stratos model is lighter and easy to push on carpet. Also works well on tile and hardwood floors. The only negative is that it will not stand up on it’s own, unless you lean it against a wall. That is a small thing and something we can easily live with. It does have a small container for debris, but emptying it is easy. The suction is good. No problem collecting just about anything on the floors.

My shark that I have had for 20 years finally bit the dust I purchased this shark because I have two dogs that leave Hair everywhere. This is an amazing vacuum. It picks up the hair off our wood floors and the handpiece for the furniture is amazing all the hair comes up. I recommend it 10+. It’s easy to use, easy to empty the dirt. Lightweight it’s amazing.

Very easy to maneuver, and very lightweight. Love that. Also powerful, cleans well. We have an older Labrador and a longhair cat hair is an issue. The cord is long enough to do 5 rooms and not unplug! But it is very stiff (husband says because the cord is cheaply made. I like the ease the vacuum goes between carpet and hard floors. Dust cup is small, I knew it would be when I ordered it no surprise, but the dust cup is hard to remove for emptying. Someone with small hands may have a difficult time. Easy to take the dust cup apart to clean the filters. Also easy to take apart for cleaning furniture, corners and steps. I recommend this vac and would buy it again! Lots of power, really sucks!

We bought this to replace our Kenmore canister vacuum, which was more replacement parts than original. We bought this because it was well rated on Consumer Reports. We needed something that could handle area rugs and wood floors while not taking up too much space in our small apartment. I agree with other reviews that the cord is very stiff. Does this negatively affect the vacuum? No, but it's worth mentioning. I do wish the cord was either on a swivel or that it retracted into the vacuum, since the cord position does make it awkward to wrap the cord for storage since the cord at the top of the handle will be pulled 180 degrees downwards. It makes me worried about wear and tear as time goes on. The vacuum is very lightweight. I do agree though that due to the bulk of the weight being at the top near the handle, it does put some strain on your hand as you maneuver. It's not world-ending though. People complain about the size of the canister. I don't care that it's "small". I can see how full it is and it's really easy to empty and re-insert. Takes less than a minute, so it doesn't really interrupt my vacuuming. On the old Kenmore, we often didn't realize the bag was full and would keep using it anyways since we'd have to physically open the case to check the bag status. It's nice to easily see how much the Shark has picked up and when it's time to empty. The Shark is very powerful. The first time we used it on the rug, it picked up so much dirt that our Kenmore had been missing, even with adjusting the pile level. I typically chose either the rug or hard floor setting on the vacuum -- the sensor mode does an OK job, but sometimes it will switch floor types which won't always be the best setting to use. I personally don't like the odorizer. I have it on the lowest odor setting possible. Thankfully the smell dissipates quickly. Overall, for $200, this is a good vacuum. If it were to break in 2-3 years, I wouldn't be too upset and would just purchase another.

This is my second Shark corded Stick Vacuum and this one is a couple step up from the basic model, so easy to assemble. The minute it was out of the box I had to use it. Mind you I cleaned today with my older Hoover today. Oh my gosh does our carpet look great, lots of suction and love the new brush! Our carpet has never felt so good! I was impressed at the length of the power cord. This model sits lower than the other model and it glides over the carpet also it's quiet! Well worth the money that we paid for it. This will make vacuuming much easier.

This is my second Shark vacuum cleaner - I thought the first one did a good job, but this one does a great job. The suction is incredibly powerful for such a lightweight vacuum. It does a good job getting up dust and pet hair, too. The self-propelled feature is also powerful, maybe a bit too powerful because it wants to move quickly. The cord length is ample. I wish it had more tools - it only comes with three. I have used the removable handheld vacuum as well as the floor stick - both are easy to use. My only minor complaint is that the dust bin is a little more difficult to empty - the release lever doesn't open and automatically "dump" the contents. You have to pull the cup open which requires two hands. I do recommend this item.

My Electrolux was just getting too heavy to pull around. I needed something lighter. I was hesitant about this price but the suction on this vacuum exceeded my expectations and I'm very happy with it. The first time I used this Shark on my carpet I realized how much my canister was leaving behind. wow. I do have to agree with complaints about the cord quality and I wish there was a swivel head on the attachments to make the handheld more versatile. The pet attachment is surprisingly ineffective on hair but the simple upholstery attachment has so much suction it makes up for it. Pros are the suction is awesome, the light is handy, the swivel on the main bar is easy to control. It stands on its own which is a must IMO, the dirt cup is easy to remove and empty, being corded is the way to go... consistent power, no battery or run time issues its just unfortunate the cord feels of such poor quality.

El equipo me llego hoy y funciona increíble

Es silenciosa lo más que se puede en aspiradora, si cierras el cuarto, ni se escucha que estas aspirando. Es potente. Aspira muy bien. NO PESA. Ocupa poco espacio. Muy bien con el polvo y pelaje mascotas. Tengo 2 gatos y 7 perros...y solo con esta aspiradora esta limpia la casa. Muebles camas, piso, La recomiendo mucho

Aspiras como si llevaras a pasear a tu perrito, te lleva sola

Where to start??? First off, cordless is fine but has it's own issues such as battery life, charge time, and battery longevity (they stop holding a charge after a while). Eventually they hold such a short charge the product is unusable. Buy new batteries. Yes.... Because a cordless stick vacuum isn't expensive enough as it is. LoL!! So, having to plug a vacuum in is far from an inconvenience. Also, having a corded motor means more power, more suction. The Shark HZ2002 Vertex stick vacuum is a MONSTER with a whopping 380 watt motor and a 30 foot cord. It has dual rollers in the head (which is a powered head to add). One at the rear with bristles and the front with a polymer rubber fin design. So it's abilities to scoop up debris from laminate floors, linoleum, hardwood or any hard floors is flawless. Vacuuming kitty litter and afraid of getting 500mph granular projectile blasted back at you? No fear. The HZ2002 Vertex doesn't let a single morsel out of it's vortex. It sucks everything in and nothing escapes. As for carpet, the suction is also unparalleled by any vacuum on the market in this price range. My carpets look brand new. I was ready to rent a bin and chuck all of my area rugs. The Vertex HZ2002 had such an incredible impact on these carpets because it lifted deep dirt and tracked-in debris with it's impressive suction power. The triple air filter system is another bragging point. Easy to clean, and recirculates the exhaust air without worry of blowing dust or allergens back into the air you are breathing in. In addition, this vacuum is GREAT on pet fur that gets dug into the fibres of carpet and furniture. It comes with a smaller furniture head as well as a bristle fitting and a long tappered hose for hard to reach, tight spots. What else? It is VERY maneuverable and agile. The LED lights on the front are awesome and bright. The canister SEEMS small but it is perfect. And super easy to clean. Cordless vacuums have to conserve power so the head on them is powered by air flow and gearing which is inferior for proper suction. This vacuum has restored my faith in companies again. I started to think everything in this world was low quality and overpriced gimmicks. Thank you Shark!! I will be a loyal customer for the rest of my days if you keep delivering phenomenal products like this that work flawlessly. You raised the bar in the vacuum industry.
