As someone who suffers from anxiety, it feels so good to be able to make such and important and expensive decision with confidence thanks to all the thought and hard work you put into this channel. Thank you so much!
That is fabulous to hear. Thank you so much.
I have Black Friday anxiety.
Get a grip. Sharks are terrible.
You really shouldn't have bought a Shark, they last about a year and parts don't exist for them
Lol is this why I am here too?😂
I bought a Shark duo clean vacuum based on your channel reviews! I've never been happier. My parents have a pricier Miele canister vacuum, but I personally feel this does a great job. I'm always shocked how well it pulls dust and dog hair out of carpets and
Glad to hear you are happy with it!
You literally think of everything! I was struggling and getting a little overwhelmed as to which vacuum to choose and I’m so glad you made a video making comparisons and breaking everything down, and essentially answering all the questions I had. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos you help more than you know! 🤗
Thank you!

I am addicted to your channel. Just moved into a larger house and have purchased several new vacuums - hardwood floor, carpet, pet clean-up, cordless, automotive...
Why?
@@TheLololol111 Because I can? I have some for upstairs (carpeted areas) and downstairs (hardwood), pet stains, automobiles, cordless, etc.
It's really good to hear that these videos have helped you out. Thank you very much!
@@VacuumWars hey I have a question I am trying to buy the Shark Vertex Pro cordless here in the UK and there is an exact same model but with this name Shark anti hair wrap lift away cordless vaccum , without the (Vertex Pro) name but look identical and have the same functionalities is there a name difference because of the country or what? Can you please please help
@@davidflorence3510 which ones did you settle for? Are you happy with them or highly recommend any of them?
Thank you! There are so many to choose from, it's a lot to weed through. I had come up with the same top choice based on my own research online and was happy to have it confirmed by someone who has actually tested all the vacuums.
Thank you for doing such thorough reviews. Your tests are exceptional and very helpful.
I remember my mother having a heart attack when I told her I bought the shark Apex for close to $400 and her telling me to return it, and now 2 years later, now that I’m moving out and taking my vacuum, she wants to buy the same one 😂
You sold me on the apex and I’m glad you did, best vacuum I’ve used
Good to hear! Thanks!
I got the vertex based on your reviews about 2 years ago. We have all hard floors except the stairs. The vertex is amazing
Good to hear that you are happy with it! Thank you!
You are ☝️ awesome dude!! Making videos of vacuums that I’ve always questioned all the time. I really like this video. Thank you so much. 🙏
Just got the NV352...the night before I opened it, I used a $100 stick vac we have and vacuumed for about a hour. The next day, I used the 352 and it was like I had never vacuumed the same areas before. I was really impressed with its power.
Glad you are happy with it!
Thank you so much for this! I was feeling totally overwhelmed with vacuum choices, and this video made it so understandable!
Glad it was helpful!
My old Shark died yesterday after 13 years, so searched you out. On my way to purchase the Stratos, based on your reviews. Thanks!
This would be the third time you have seriously narrowed down my shopping list. Love the methodology.
Yay! Thank you!
As a self employed housekeeper for ten years, I have always appreciated your reviews.
Way to go! and thank you!
I bought the Shark Stratos based on your reviews and the price, buying directly from Shark. They had the best price around on the Stratos which helped with my decisioning. This vacuum performs better than any vacuum that I have ever owned. I already had a Shark that I've owned for 25 years that I was using upstairs, and a Bissel Velocity for the downstairs area. Neither of them perform close to the Stratos. Even though the old Shark is still running strong, it lacked the newer technology and didn't have the performance that the newer ones do. Thank you for the service that you are providing, it has been a great help to me in choosing my new vacuum. In fact, I am considering purchasing another one for my upstairs so that I don't have to carry the new Stratos up and down the steps.
So good to hear you are happy with it! Thanks for commenting!
I really love the shark vacuum. It cleans great!
Thank you for taking the time to test and rank these. Too many choices stresses me out!!
Glad to help!
Great video. Thanks especially for pointing out that the duo clean heads may not be ideal if you have mostly carpets...Spending more may not always get you the best product for your "use case".
This was an eye opener for me as I had been looking at the premium vacuum with the duo clean, and I'm glad I did research and found i didn't need to spend 300 or more. Although I hate having to clean the rollers due to hair build up
I never buy a vacuum without checking your video reviews first! I have not been disappointed yet! ♥️
Yay! Thank you!
I LOVE your videos!!!
I recommend your channel to anyone and everyone. Thank you for taking your time and being so organized and detailed!!! I’m a FT working mom with 4 kids we homeschool and little help- time is not on my side lol. So thank you!
You are so welcome!
Great video - thank you! I was wondering if any of you know if any of these models have LED lights in the handle also (when you're using the attachments). I had this feature on an older Shark vac i had and LOVED it.
Thanks for the helpful videos. I'm looking to get a new vacuum mostly for carpet, and was wondering if the deep cleaning performance of the duoclean was better with the older zero m like the nv771, or if you still prefer the navigator design. Thanks!
Remember when a person could walk into a store and simply buy a vacuum without concern toward quality or longevity because vacuum companies prided themselves on quality? Yup, I'm dating myself. I have an 11-year-old Sharp Navigator that has given me zero problems, even though I don't maintain it as it deserves. I used to raise cats on a professional basis and at times would have north of 30 cats but my Navigator kept my Cattery hair and dust-free. A few of my cats and kittens would even lie down asking for a vacuum grooming! It worked its little fingers to the bone! I can't even guess at the mileage on those now squeaky wheels! Presently, I'm retired and down to just five retired show cats, all long-hair and my Navigator is still keeping us presentably clean; however, the hose on the wand has finally cracked, sporting a bandage of camo duct tape, and even though a replacement is available, it will cost almost $50.00. I figure with a $50.00 replacement cost, that is $50.00 off toward a new Shark. But, boy howdy! So many choices! I have spent the past several days, and some nights, reviewing Shark after Shark, which is how I found your site. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your wonderful reviews and demos have immensely helped this old lady narrow the field toward making a purchase. I haven't quite decided on a model, so I'll be back as I continue narrowing down an immense field of choices! I have medium pile carpeting, poor eyesight, making LED lights desirable, looking for a powered Lift-Away, no hair wrap design, something that price can be managed with a SS check, and maybe a handsome gentleman tucked away in the box for this lonely widow? lol
Again, thank you!
Awesome!!! Thank you so much! I hope you find your perfect vacuum!
Hell yea I’ve been looking for exactly this video from your channel!
Glad I could help!
Awesome video! I've been so confused about which Sharks have which features and which features I really need...and your charts made it to easy. Thank you!
Nice! Thanks!
Great videos, love the channel! Which one would you recommend for carpeted stairs?
The Stratos has a lot more to offer than you're giving it credit for. There are a number of improvements it makes over the Vertex.
I've been watching your channel for a while now, and I wanted to comment to say something about your comparisons of the Vertex and Stratos. I've owned both the Shark Vertex and the Shark Stratos, and there are a number of differences aside from the odor cartridge that I think go unnoticed here. I'm writing this because aside from you and I, there are likely very few people who have owned both and used them extensively.
The first difference I've observed is the fact that the fins on the Stratos are designed to be more aggressive at getting smaller hairs (like cat hair) out of carpeting. This has been beneficial for me, since my apartment is mostly carpeted and I have 2 cats.
The second difference, and the main one in my opinion, is the design of the dust bin.
The Vertex has a dustbin that is similar to the NV352, where there is a top and bottom latch on the front of the dustbin to open the top and bottom lids respectively. There is also a main vortex with a mesh pillar filter in the middle and a vertical reservoir for dirt to fall into. This design has a habit of forming a secondary vortex in the front section when empty, and results in there being much more fine dirt and debris that makes its way to the foam and felt filters. The mesh pillar in the main vortex also catches longer hairs when vacuuming, and requires me to open the top lid and manually dislodge it.
The Stratos improves on the design of the dustbin by going with one similar to the NV360, but with a better dustbin release and dustbin emptying system. The design allows the vortex-forming portion to be raised more, and allows the dirt to fall into a much larger holding space. The design also improves the central mesh cone, forming it into a peak with an anti-hair-wrap design. While I've owned the Stratos, I have no longer had the problem of needing to manually dislodge my hair from the mesh pillar in the main vortex, and the foam and felt pre-filters are dirtied at a much slower rate than the Vertex.
Also the stratos’ powerfins brush roll has been redesigned to have little grooves for better hair pickup. The vertex (and all other sharks with powerfins) does not have these grooves.
@@josephv3649 True, I mentioned that in the 3rd paragraph
I'm on the fence been a Ball Animal and the Stratos. I have 50/50 carpet and tile and cats so I need something to really clean in there for the allergic people that come by. You have made this decision a hard one for again lol.
Thanks for your comparison. I couldn't find a good difference explained anywhere online other than the odor cartridge.
fine debris making it into the premotor filter is def an issue with my vertex, not loving the build quality either compared to the nv352 we've had for years.
I spent a month in a candlewood suites here in Dallas and turned on the house keeping ladies onto vacuum wars and they love it. Thanks
That's amazing! Thanks!
@@VacuumWarsI was checking out there Bissell with a super long cord and they probably wondered why is this guy checking out our vacuum. Vacuum wars baby!!!!!
I bought a $600 Shark & a $600 Dyson at same time. I prefered using Shark but it quit over a year ago and repair shop said it needed new motor. Dyson is still running.
Thank you! We are shopping for a new vacuum right now as out DC41 Dyson finally died. We knew we wanted a Shark but we’re kinda overwhelmed with all the choices. A Vertex it is!
Always amazing videos those are short and to the point.
Not like other reviewers who will stretch videos to gain UA-cam ad revenue.
That was so helpful. ❤
Glad you think so! Thank you!
YESSSS you did this video!THANK YOU😭😭😭😭🥰🥰
Wow Thank you!!!
Thank you for explaining difference between lift away vs powered lift away. I was confused.
Happy to help!
Thanks for doing all the research! Makes my life easier.
You bet! Thank you for watching!
Please review the Tineco vacuums including the new S15 Pro. There are so many to choose from. It's hard to tell the differences. Love your vids btw!
Can confirm my NV352 is an amazing vacuum. Love your channel!
Awesome! Thank you!
The best comparison ever! Thank you
Wow, thank you!
Supremely helpful review. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Love the videos! What is the difference between the shark cu510/520 series vs the nv series?
Thank you so much for all your research.
My pleasure!
Love your channel!! Can't wait for your review of the new cordless stick vacuum with the combined soft brush/fin brush - Shark® Cordless Pro with Clean Sense IQ!
Great video, I bought the vacuum that you recommended and it was great! Keep it up
Hope you enjoy it! Thank you!
Can you start testing how vacuums do with hay pickup? I got a Vertex DuoClean because of your channel and I love it, but then we ended up getting a pet rabbit and the hay around the carpet and floor practically makes it useless now lol. It clogs so easily if it picks up a strand of hay, we’ve had to switch to carpet sweepers before vacuuming the area. It would be nice to see if certain vacuums don’t clog as easily with small animal hay as others.
What’s the equivalent model name of Shark Performance UV850 available at Costco? Is it similar to Vertex? If not, where does it stand in your scoring?
Excellent video! Thank you very much! Only wish you had added noise level for each vacuum.
I have mostly carpet and like your recommendation. which vacuum that’s similar with anti hair wrap?
awesome video!
I'm looking to get a LA401 with "PowerFin" on black Friday. Is this a decent model for a small house that has mostly carpet? I can't seem to find much info on this model. I have an original white and red classic model that I'm replacing
What if you have 50/50 carpet vs hard floors but also pets?
Good question!
Would the vertex be good for shag carpet? Everything gets lost in it. I have to shake it and it’s 8x12 so it’s not doable. Dyson can’t handle it.
Hi. Between Shark Stratos and Shark Vertex, what would you recommend the best for thick carpet, pet hair, and human hair?
Thanks for these awesome test/videos. I'm about to purchase the Shark Stratos but wanted to ask you before I purchase... Does this leave carpet vacuum lines? The suction and lines are what I'm looking for. Thanks so much!
Excellently done as usual! Vertex is my fave! Got the cordless and corded versions... just wish Shark would get out together with batteries! Thanks!
try the Lupe....i love my shark but lupe is far superior
Love your videos. Anyone know where the UV725 etc UV model line sits?
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Just bought a stratos, pretty happy with it! Feels plasticity, but I suppose all vacuums feel like this these days? Still vacuums great!
I was so overwhelmed purchasing our first vac and this video showed up right on time!
So good to hear that! Hope it helped!
@@VacuumWars yes, sure did!
can i ask what vac out of these would be best for a shag rug with a 2 1/2" pile? have you ever tested? i dont want to destroy the rug.. thanks
Hi! I ❤️your reviews and I’m currently looking for the best vacuum for hard floors & carpet. My house is literally1/2 carpet & 1/2 hard floors. I’m wondering what you would do if you were me. Would it be best to buy 2 vacuums - the best for hard floors and the best for carpet or is there one you recommend if you have equal amount of carpet and hard floors. If you have time to respond, thanks, if not I do understand.
Hello can you do the Quantom X vaccuum with water filtration? Thanks!
which is the best for washing floors and carpets? is there any vacuum with mopp function?
is there a difference in the shark vertex AZ2000 and AZ2002? I see one listed cheaper on Amazon and was wondering what the dropoffs were from these models. Thank you
I have high pile carpet (over 1/2 in high) I’m curious which vacuum would be best for this? Most vacuums are very difficult to push across tall thick carpet.
Thank you for such a comprehensive comparison. Here in the UK, the most powerful motor on a corded Shark seems to be 800W. Is this just a limitation for the 240V market or am I missing something? I have the AZ950 which looks to be a 750W version of the US Apex and it's great but I can't help but think how much better that extra power would be!
Your videos are awesome
Thank you so much 😀
We just purchased a LA322 and really like it but it has a flaw I was hoping you could help me with. When vacuuming dust gets past part of the seal on the top of the canister. When you snap the top cover to the canister it has a little play allowing a little dust to escape. Is there anyway I can fix this myself?
I’ve been a hardcore bagged vacuum user for a long time. But I found the NV752 model on sale at my Walmart for $99 and was like well I’ll give it a try. I find it to be a good overall cleaner. Though its dust bin is crippling small. And over the years it’s gotten very creaky and squeaky. But it’s been good to me for the 2 1/2 years I’ve had it. I still prefer my bagged vacuums, but this isn’t a bad bagless choice.
For $99 it sounds like you got your money's worth
I bought the ADV 502 based on your recommendation and I’m happy so far.
That is good to hear. Thank you.
I’m a house cleaner, I own the LA322 vaccum and it’s pretty amazing. It still works perfectly fine after 1.5 years. I just bought the vertex vacuum for houses that have lots of hard floors. Hope it’s as good as my other vaccum
That is awesome! We hope you are happy with it too!
Updates??
@@AllAboutPurple love my vertex! And got the pet pro stratos and it’s awesome too!

What is the difference between ZU561 and AZ1000? Does one perform better on carpet vs the other?
You probably test so much stuff it would be hard to remember but if you can, what robot vacuum is better, the Ecovacs deebot N8 or the deebot Ozmo 920 ?
This video right here compares those deebots and some others: ua-cam.com/video/T5WycBr3Szc/v-deo.html Hope that helps!
but what about if my housei s mostly carpert and a lot of women long hairs , what should I pick beside 352. is dyson animal 3 an option?
I love my new Shark Vertex! Can’t recommend the vacuum enough. Sure, the filter gets dirtier quicker than my Dyson. But, I can deal with the monthly cleaning in exchange for lift away and duo clean.
Thanks for sharing!
Appreciate the through work. I recently purchased uplight based on your old review. It checked all the boxes for me except being a bit heavy for my liking. This is my third vacuum purchase after watching your reviews (previous ones are Shark Apex Duoclean Zero M and Bissell featherlight). I got shark apex upright because I wanted to do a thorough cleaning once in a while instead of solely rely on dyson v8. I like uplight the best so far being lighter weight than upright, hepa filter and strong suction. That being said I think shark discontinued this model and I don’t know why. I feel like there is so little option in the market for corded stick vacuum with hepa filter that’s 10lbs and under yet there is plenty cordless hepa filter stick vacuum options that weights much less. A periodic showdown among corded stick vacuums would be appreciated as well.
Good feedback and thank you!
Can you do a review on the Dyson cinetic big ball animal allergy?
Please help me understand why the NV 352 is 15 inches across the front, while the others are about 12? Is this an error on the Amazon site? Thank yo.
Shark is definitely one of the vacuums brands I recommend
I bought a shark duoclean lift away and the belt inside shredded after a few uses. Are any of these easy to clean and take apart because the one I got was not. Even took out all the screws and it still was near impossible to take down.
Hey Vacuum Wars need help picking an upright vacuum for mostly carpet that has anti hair wrap! What are your suggestions?
What vacuum do you recommend for low pile, commercial like burbur carpet?
question......does the shark stratos go forword by itself of the powered lift away mode, like how it does on the vertex?
We have a NV 352. However we got new carpet that is higher pile and it is a struggle to vacuum even with the suction turned down. What’s your recommendation for higher pile carpet?
Bought the stratos based on your channel. I have hardwood/carpet. Awesome. Now I just need a good floor cleaner cause my steam mop don't cut it. Looking at tineco s5 steam because I always wondered why the floor cleaners don't include steam in them 🤔
I have had the apex and it is now leaning forward and the plastic has cracked where it holds it up
Super ! Thank you!
Would you have a stick comparison?
We have a recent "best cordless vacuum of 2023" video (ua-cam.com/video/ZMAHwJg-ISw/v-deo.html) where we include all of the Shark cordless vacuums. Hope that helps!
@@VacuumWars it does thank you
Awesome video!
Could you please review those alternative brand double soft rollers for handheld Dyson's (which are not the omni-glide)
They are sold in Amazon or websites like that.
Thaaaanks!
I love my vertex! And I have almost all carpet. But it's hands down the best vacuum I have ever used. I would not want a vacuum without the dual heads - they are too useful!
It's great to hear you are happy with it!
@@VacuumWars Will you be doing a sebo review anytime soon?
Also not sure why some people are so anti shark - you probably know who they are.
Thanks for the ad, also FU
Are there any shark vacuums that are truly self propelled. I bought a shark navigator and the suction is great but it's almost gripped to the carpet and difficult to push/pull.
Do you have a review for Shark ZU503AMZ ? THANKS
Do they make a vacuum with the soft brush roller but also the no hair wrap system that would work on carpets? It's like they are moving away from vacuums that work on carpet.
I love my cordless version but now you've got me jonesing for a second one...
Nice video man
Thanks!
You're a God among insects Vacuum Wars!
Goodness! Thanks!
Stratos or vertex for mostly tile floors? Thanks
Shark products are the best. I have had my Shark vacuum for over 10 years. Just bought a Shark Sweeper love it too❤
That is awesome!
Where cani view the excel sheet? I need to see numbers in catagories that way for comparing
