Thank you for your informative video Roger.
I believe the anti odour cartridge and dial were not fitted correctly however. To fully engage the assembly it must be pushed into place - as you did - but then the handle rotated clockwise to at least the minus symbol. This will lock the assembly into place. If more fragrance is required the dial can be rotated more towards the plus symbol. Once the desired fragrance level is selected the handle can be folded down.
I also note that the fragrance cartridge should only be handled whilst wearing gloves and should never be directly inhaled - sniffed - as the ingredients can be harmful to the user, pets and the environment.
The full instructions give a clear explanation of how to do this.
I am impressed with the initial performance of this machine and agree that a second set of washable filters should be provided given the recommended 48 hours drying time.
agreed, I noticed the same , awesome review either way.
I agree with other viewers that shark should rethink their policy on sending you products to review. This is one of the most thorough reviews I have watched. This is not a cheap product and it really helps to watch a review like this to make up your mind if you want to purchase. Thank you.
We bought the 2-battery version of this and we love it. Now we have a Timber dog and he molts at least twice a year, this spring has been exceptionally bad for hair and thankfully the Stratos has been a godsend making short work of it. It's a great vacuum cleaner, pricey but worth it. A side note when using the IQ setting if it constantly uses full power it means the double filters need cleaning as it tends to clog after 3 or 4 weeks of daily use.
just wondering whee did you get the extra battery, i tried in amazon its unavailable. TIA
Hey, yeh it appears we ordered ours through Shark UK and not through Amazon, I've just checked their site and they have 2X battery options on some vacuums, hope that helps.@@kotseatbp
@@kotseatbp ,
I went right to the Shark website. There were none left there, either, but I left my info, and they sent me an e-mail to let me know when they were available. Even then, I had to try about three times before I got one. I needed it, too. the run time is about 5 minutes, if that.
Now that is a proper proper review. Fantastic job man. Keep it up
Shark need to give you the money back for any product you buy from them on your own Roger because whatever personnel says, you are the number 1 reviewer.
💯

Ok, I am genuinely very impressed - especially with how it picked up pet hair without the roller getting tangled and without getting clogged up. BUT I went to the link in your description...and yikes for $500 US, it BETTER be impressive! For me personally, that is a *lot* of money, especially for just a vacuum cleaner.
They are often on offer. I didn’t pay anywhere near that.
You can get it for $279 plus taxes at Costco
Very helpful video, thank you
Great review except you didn’t lock the anti-odour cartridge into place. Requires at least one click to lock. The. You can adjust it from min to max setting.
Great review, thank you.
Would be great if we could get this in Canada the only Shark Stratos model here is not compatible with the motorized pet tool
Hi, which cordless, lightweight, anti-hair wrap vacuum cleaner would you recommend? So many of the market. Thanks in advance for your help.
Dirty filter is loss of suction ,dyson is good like that
Did you not find it heavy?
I bought one but I’m amazed people arnt complaining about the weight. Going to send it back
No, I don’t find it heavy and if a lot of people aren’t complaining about the weight, it can’t be a major issue. Probably best to visit it a store with a selection of machines that you can try before you buy.
@@ibaisaic think I will prefer a cordless upright where the weight is down low. Will test out in shop like you suggest
Shark and Miele make models with the motor nearer the floor.
I would like to know whether you can use it without putting in the anti-odour dial, as it doesn't sound very friendly to me, wear protective gloves, avoid breathing in mist or vapours? If you can smell the fragrance in the air then you surely are breathing it in.
I cannot find the answer online, anyone help
You can use it without the fragrance cartridge but the dial needs to be fitted or loss of suction would occur. You simply remove the cartridge from the dial and insert the dial into the hole on the DuoClean head.
Bought this after watching your video. I forgot to check if there are attachments available for the car. I have been looking. From England.
Additional tools and accessories are available from Shark. sharkclean.co.uk/shark-parts-accessories/shark-cordless-vacuum-cleaner-iz400-parts-accessories/
Just emailed them. This is the exact accessory for the car. XSKHCK400EUKT but it is out of stock ATM. Thanks!

Anyone any idea how to clean the plastic part where they roller is? I detached the black and red stripe roller per video instructions but I need in to clean the plastic see through part and can't seem to figure it out. Thank you
It is not easy to clean the clear plastic part without dismantling the cleaner. I use surface wipes and put them between the brush and the clear housing and feed them through by turning the brushroll. You could also use a thin cloth moistened with detergent and pull it through the same way. You may have to do this several times to clean the brushroll housing and it is hard to remove all the dirt without taking the brushroll out which is not something Shark expect the consumer to do.
Thank you so much for the helpful video. I searched high and low for a video that showed how to remove the dust bin to clean with water and finally found yours. So grateful!
Daisy is always so kind to lend some fluff for your videos, and she had a fantastic cameo in this one as well.
Great video. I bought one of these quite quickly and impulsively - so thank you for reassuring me that it’s a good one!
Great review, I just got the IZ420UKT - (same model with 2 batteries) - which is so ideal having 2 to always keep one on charge whilst using the other. - This replaced my NV680UKT I got 6 years ago. And this cordless is so near the performance of my previous shark. Regarding the Anti- Odour filter I'm sure after inserting the cartridge you need to rotate the filter anti clockwise to fully engage in place where the locked padlock symbol is then the filter should become effective then.
Very comprehensive review. Thank you!
I just ordered the double-battery version in the Amazon Prime 2023 sale, but in fact I did that before I found your video. You've made me happy that I haven't made a mistake! Have a lovely sub.
The double brush roller looks good. Edge cleaning is impressive too. Automatic power adjustment in the mains-powered era was a gimmick but it makes more sense with cordless vacuums to help preserve battery life…
If I had the money to buy a vacuum cleaner like this, the way the brush roller is able to pick up hair like that would be a major selling point for me. Hair getting caught and wrapped around in the brush roller has always been constant and extremely annoying in every vacuum I have ever used.
The front brush doesn't even have suction.
Junk!
@@elonmust7470just like you:)
@@valkryie2.9 yep
@@elonmust7470 sorry for saying that:(
Thank you for your thorough review. I feel more confident in using Shark first time now 😊
Just received this vacuum today, 3rd September 2024. Your video was extremely helpful and informative. Many thanks, and keep up the good work!
I'd buy a cordless vacuum when the batteries can go for at least an hour in high mode
Excellent review. Very clear and honest. Thank you.
This or the dyson v15? This is currently 330 on shark
Daisy is so cute! Just bought this cleaner today. I'm very happy with it. I was a previous Dyson customer.
What a fantastic review. How long does the battery last on the different settings in real life experience please?
I bought one of these after watching your review. I chose the double battery version and couldn’t be happier with it
US model doesn’t come with all the nice attachments as UK model. If it did I’d get it in a heartbeat 😩
As most people have said, thanks so much. I've been having a difficult time figuring out which button is which. I'm so afraid of getting a facefull of dust and debris.
Really helpful review and stopped me breaking mine trying to get the Dustbox off.
one additional feature not many people are aware of, there is a hook in the body just below the battery and that can be used with a compatible wall mount, then you wont need to bend it for storing ! check it out if you can
Great video. Rewatched multiple times. With the anti odour cartridge, I think you may have forced it in as opposed slotting it in and twisting it so the arrows align as per the manual. But I guess if it's in then it's in.
The best review I ever saw! Congratulations!! 👏👏👏
Showing other attachments in action would be good. Many thanks for the review.
You are the best reviewer! Thank you!!!!!! for going through all of the parts and how they go on and off and how they work together!
The mini-motorized pet tool is great for staircases.
Excellent review. Everything you want to know - no waffle or padding.
Is this vacuum really noisy. I'm interested in this model but my daughter is very sensitive to noise. I borrowed my mum's Dyson V8 and was impressed with how quiet it was as well as how well it cleaned so deciding between the two
Why didn’t I see this variant of the stratos model on the website? I ended up with the IZ862H. Not as many attachments dammit. I want it ALLLLL 😬 only 2 attachments and no bag for them included. 🙄
Edit: figured it out. It’s the uk version they sell. I want the UK VERSION!!! I have pets 🤷🏻♀️ They could’ve at least given my the cheap ass bag for the accessories
True! Why UK would have better accessories? I’m kind of sad😭.
£449 on Very with 2 batteries 🔋. £100 off in the Black Friday deal… I’ve just ordered one… 😅
Hi am waiting for delivery of my new shark stratos and found this video very informative thank you
How long does the battery usually take to recharge?
THE BEST REVIEW, thank you!!
Would like to see a demonstration on curtain cleaning with your opinion on that.
❤️from Montreal
I don’t clean curtains with any hand held cordless machine, it’s too much effort. I use a cylinder model with a hose for that.
Thanks for taking the time to do this review. I bought one of these. I’ve plugged the battery in both attached and detached. No indication of any charging. Tried multiple power outlets. There is no light I can see anywhere to tell you it is charging. ItThe very basic manual says it will not work (power on) which the cord is attached. I detach the cord and it still doesn’t power on. I can only assume it’s faulty. Surely anything decent would have a clearly visible charging light. I’ve always had Dyson but decided to switch. I’m not impressed.
Mine does have a quite small but ok light, when you see it, along the slim edge on the corner of the battery. Dead is red. It pulsates white until fully charged.green. Hope that helps.
Hi - could you give a brief review a year later? How is the power and quality overall?
I second this request. This is on my shortlist up against the Dyson v15 detect
How does this compare to the Dyson equivalent
Excellent review, ordering one now ,hope my labradors hair isn't too much for it .
It appears pretty good all round, Sharks early machines ought to be have been bagged due to filter dirtying quickly, this doesn’t seem too bad and performance, some say about lack of lifespan on sharks build quality, I cannot comment, I’m familiar with shark but never owned one yet, I’m looking for a compact corded vac for deep cleans, Shark is the only one in that form factor available, I’m looking at a corded shark, as daily cleans are via cordless, although this Shark appears to possibly replace a corded with its power? PS good video as always Roger.
I have a former version of tjis cleaner and although my house is not overly dusty, the maintenance of the filters is quite cumbersome. I have to vacuum them with another cleaner at least once a week. I am looking for a vacuum cleaner with better filtration system
If you want low maintenance, get a bagged vacuum cleaner.
Fantastic video as always. You are so clear and explain everything so well and easy to follow. I would love to see a video of the dyson cinetic big ball animal + bag less vac. I really thinking of buying this machine. I have seen your older video of the cinetic big ball vac the red and grey version, really enjoyed it. This blue and red big ball machine is more current, so I'd appreciate it if one day you could do a review on it. Thanku for all ur amazing videos...... so interesting, and how beautiful is little daisy 😍
The Cinetic models have been discontinued for quite some time in the UK and I can’t see them on Dyson’s US website either. The Only mains powered machines Dyson offer are uprights and they have been out of stock for months.
Oh ok , thank you for letting me know .
I had a numatic, got rid for a shark and a cordless vax. Two of the worst vacuums ever. The shark would constantly need cleaning out, constantly jamming at anything bigger than dust. The vax was a bit better and would such up what the shark didn't which was quite a lot, the batteries were awful had enough passed them both to family. Then reordered a Hetty xtra and won't ever use anything but numatic again. Their customer service is so good and hetty is not needing cleaning every week. I'm temped to get the cordless, but won't until its made in Britan.
I am just sending back a bloody Henry. What a faff to use and with multiple dogs the roller on their airotool was ridiculous. I spent 15 minutes getting tangled hair out. Never again. I’d rather wash the filters in this once a week than spend my life untangling hair. And the normal head took on the Henry wouldn’t budge on my carpet
When you're using the Statos or the first time, use the vacuum cleaner until the battery is empty
What a great and comprehensive review. Just bought the two battery version!
Thanks for a great review. I'm looking at upgrading from the Shark Cordless IF250, been great but the floor nozzle keeps getting clogged with hair, mainly my partners plus we have two cats that quick their cta litter everywhere and sometimes after we finished cleaning debris will fall out of the floor nozzle. Looking at upgrading to this, would you recommend or should I look at something else?
Thanks to your very informative video, I went out and purchased this model!
Great review. I have just purchased this as we have started to find our Henry Hound a bit heavy as we have got older especially on the stairs.
Henry hoovers are almost indestructible but the technology in this shark is quite amazing and should certainly help keep the cats fur at bay, the smaller head for fur removal will definitely be getting a lot of use.
The accessory car cleaning kit looks
very useful with the extra small crevice probe and brush designed for vents and dials.
Odour filter another bonus.
I hadn’t watched this video before purchasing but it’s reassuring to feel I made a good decision about which cordless hoover to purchase.
EDIT Used the Shark today and I’m genuinely amazed at how well this vacuum cleaner works. I had vacuumed the house with the Henry Hound (has the power brush) a few days ago, having vacuumed with the Shark I was amazed at how well it cleaned, picked up way more pet fur than the Henry.
The small power head in the Shark makes cleaning the stairs a breeze.
Two batteries essential though in my opinion, it was a lot of work for the first clean but it doesn’t take long to run the battery down. With two it’s possible to always have a battery fully charged.
I just got my shark 3 september 2024, I had my dyson for 30 years but all the handles broke and it was becoming a chore to drag it around, I really wanted the top of the range stick dyson this time but couldn't afford it, so I settled for this .. can't say I was all that impressed after my first use . I have a dog in the house that sheds hair not that fluffy stuff either but fine wire stuff that gets into carpet and clothes I had to pretty much use the boost mode on my turkish rugs to get it out.... using the other two settings just didn't get the hair up , all up for my first use with it I got about 25 mins vacuuming done. in saying that I did manage to almost fill the barrel twice and a lot of it was dust ( I do live in a dusty place ).I also haven't had a decent working vacuum for quite a few months. so I put it on charge , and today I had another go with it and used the pet attachment tool on the rugs as well as going over all the rooms I never came close to filling the barrel but did use all the battery again I only got about 20 mins runtime out of it , ( I do like the boost mode). anyway today I felt better about my purchase I also suffer from chronic back pain , with this cordless vac it isn't as bad it throbs after 15mins but bearable so I can get most of my vacuuming done .. I will have to ring them though and get another battery. one just isn't enough... and I would of thought with the technology they have these days these lithium batteries would last a lot longer than this does plus they are expensive .... rant finished. loved your video btw.. cheers . I guess too that once you have had the best (dyson) nothing else really compares ) so this comes a close second to the Dyson gen15
Hi
Obviously watched this review
I've never had a cordless vacuum but have watched so many model / brand reviews but need help 🙏🏻
Can you recommend possibly 3 cordless vacuums that you have used / reviewed for overall performance, quality and multi purpose cleaning.
I would be grateful.
Thank you
I would like to see a cordless lift away stratos version with all the new features of this
Very Well explained. How do leds power up ?
Brilliant review 👍🏻 extra points for Daisy's participation!
Hi, I was sent this machine as a replacement but I didn't realise it had the anti odour technology cartridge. I hate artificial air fresheners and this looks fairly toxic to me. Do you think I could use the machine without it?
Yes you can, but you need to fit the top part with the dial or suction will be lost.
@ibaisaic perfect - thank you so much for the quick reply. Really good video too!
Brilliant demo & explanation & Daisy is an energetic plus 😂👏
I've just got the IZ400UKT . I am happy so far, but i would advise anyone not to buy it unless you get the two battery model. I live in a small one bed flat with hard floors. i barely got 5 mins out. of the battery lol.
Fantastic review! Thank you! I still have Dyson V8 but decided to purchase Shark IZ420 and Im so impressed already. Dyson's bartery life is absolutely a joke! and on a low setting doesent hoover as good as Shark!
Amazing review!
Just purchased mine. It works fantastic! However, the battery life is pretty quick. How long is it fully charged?
😳😳 NOISY 😡😡
I checked out a few Shark vacuum cleaners….heavy. I went into a Store tried numerous Branded Vacuum Cleaners. Some were fairly light weight when turned on - too hard to push with the suction. I’m not a body builder - I was very wary about Dyson - I chose the older Dyson Animal V8….it is perfect for me - I have 3 little Dogs (2 have long hair) The stuff the Dyson removes is incredible. Sharks were cheaper but too heavy for an older person !
I have just bought a shark stratos and this video is EXCELLENT. Can't wait to get cleaning. Thankyou
How do you actually remove the dirt bin
I show that quite early on in the video. Please come back with any further questions when you have watched the whole thing and I will be happy to help if there’s something I haven't covered.
Good review thanks. BTW is the small motorized pet brush available anywhere. I cannot find it. Please answer.
Thank you for producing an in depth video. Do you do a video for cleaning the product??
The video gives cleaning instructions excellent,
Really great video
Also i love the demonstrations, you're meant to go slow according to manufacturers. They're my favourite part watching you suck up all the stuff. I found sucking up crushed up m&ms very satisfying the other day haha in a none weird fetishism way! Haha
Vacuum was blocked since cleaning cannot get vacuum to work
Wonderful video, just brought this machine
Well, I've bought it... Thanks to your review 😅
Shark vacuums are my favorite
Excellent review, thank you. I got one for Christmas and the video has really helped me to get to grips with it. Keep up the good work! 👍
Shark are sending me this model as the iz251ukt that I have keeps making this horrid noise like it’s going to blow up and they’ve replaced it 2 times before and seems to be a common issue with that model. After seeing this review I’m excited for it to arrive it’s far more better than the one I have now. I have a German shepherd but I use my corded shark most of the time as he’s shedding at the moment but it will be good to see how much this one picks up. It does sound very loud though compared to the one I have at the moment. Mines normally very quite.
Wonderful video and review thanks for the demonstration helped my sister who purchased the model vw ery detailed .Thanks again .
Sense IQ should start on at least 50% power to see if there is any deep dirt on the carpet. If it starts on a lower power setting then it won't pick up anything and it will think there is no reason to increase the power. I would also do a test with sense IQ and one on max power just to see the difference.
Can you use this to hoover the car?The unit looks to long and clumpy to fit in tight spaces in the car?
I'm in the market for a cordless vac, this is on my radar plus the Samsung jet 90 which i don't think u have tested?
Did you do the same test on a Dyson using vacuum gage ? Nice to know the comparison .
Shark Stratos is also available in US
Got mine the other day, the iq sense setting makes me think the battery is dying when it changes speed
I bought this vacuum because of this video and did what he said about the battery. I managed to Hoover, the downstairs and upstairs of my house, the stairs and half of my car which by the way is a range Rover sport before the battery cut out
What dose the flashing green light mean when changing the battery it’s a great vacuum cleaner
I got a idea! Testing the aero brush on every version Of vacuums (Henry’s and hetties included and dyson)
Thank you for such a thorough and helpful review!
My shark cordless only has power for 3 seconds, then cuts out please advice
@ibaisaic how would you say this compares to the Samsung Bespoke Jet? I've recently purchased but considering giving back and maybe buying this instead. A few things I've found with the bespoke jet is no led light, build quality feels a bit plasticky to my old Shark and hair gets wrapped up in the filter where I feel the anti-hair wrap tool handles this better on the Shark.
Only thing which is putting me off is the 4.1kg weight on the shark but I feel build quality, led light (only on shark) and anti-hair pet tool is better? Thanks
I don’t have a Samsung Bespoke Jet, but I prefer the Shark to the two Samsungs I have.
How heavy is it I got a shark but it’s heavy looking for something light
Your honesty the best reviews, shark 🦈 so give you back your money asap !
How did you get the dust container to release to get to the filters? I don't see a button, but I heard it snap back into place when you put it back but didn't show how you got it off.
I actually show the button to press to release the dust container to access the filter.
@@ibaisaic I got it now, thanks so much for your help. Your video is super helpful.
@@ibaisaic Is it ok to not use the fresh scent disc? I don't like synthetic fragrances, they are quite toxic.
You can’t use it without the odour eliminator capsule in place as leaving it out will reduce the suction as it’s located in the air path of the cleaner. You don’t have to replace it once the effect of the capsule has run out but it needs to remain in place.
@@ibaisaic that's a shame because it stinks
That's the only thing I don't like about it
That's quite impressive. Great review by the way 👏
