I'd bet if you compared either to the newer Shark Stratos upright, you'd be amazed at how much more power and suction the Stratos has. Any plans to review the Stratos? Stratos has 3 modeks: Cordless Stick Vacuum, Ultralight Corded Stick Vacuum, and the Stratos upright AZ3000 and AZ3002.

That’s on our list to review :)

@Vacuum Nerds cool!! I'm looking forward to your opinion! I do have the Shark Stratos Ultralight Corded Stick Vacuum, and it's uber powerful. Only drawback is that the dust cup is very small, so frequent stops to empty it. BUT this means it's getting out so much embedded dirt and pet hair, and the dist cup is super easy to remove and empty

​@@vacuumnerds I don't get why certain reviewers are still reviewing the apex. The vertex and now Stratos are basically direct upgrades. And I'm the case of the strays it's cheaper than the apex

I’ve got an older rotator powered lift away and it’s nonstop tangling with hair. I can’t decide on a replacement because I like the stick vacuums but how stupid that they aren’t self standing. I think a couple are but they aren’t great on reviews I’ve seen.

[@vacuumnerds]

Most cordless don’t stand up, but it’s not a deal breaker for me at least. The Dyson V11 is excellent and is anti tangle. The Shark Rocket Pet does a good job and is anti tangle at a lower price amzn.to/47nTutE

How convenient I got a shark detect pro ad before watching the vid

Can you tell me if the Zu700 is a rotator? Or the name of it?. I ordered the listed UV 700 (it was listed uv instead of zu idk why) and I was sent the apex 1501 I can't find details on the Zu or uz 700 Can you help?

[@vacuumnerds]

It’s not part of the Rotator line, but it has the duo clean brushroll. If you google it, you will find it on the Shark website support.sharkclean.com/hc/en-us/sections/360005960739-ZU700-Series

[@LatishaBlayne]

@@vacuumnerds thank you so much! In your opinion do you think the Apex or the zu700 is better? The guide says hair wouldn't get tangled. Which is great! But per your review it looks like the Apex had hair tangle on the roller. I guess I'm not understanding what the rotator line means in comparison

[@Lloggz]

Accidently 😂😂😂

[@vacuumnerds]

That’s how it goes! Oops!

[@Solo_roblox111]

Gotta give the apex some time to remove hair
