Hello sir, I just wanted to be sure to thank you for your videos. Your methods, explanations, and visual demos of how you test all of these vacuums are second-to-none. I watched several of your videos this evening, and you have helped me to make the best decision for my needs. I'm not exaggerating when I say that your videos have cut my research from maybe about a week to just an hour or two. So thank you so much!!!

To anyone who looks at this video and is still wondering if its worth the money to get it then I will say yes it is. I had been sick for sometime now and have three pets to tend to as well. The shark stratos was put to its absolute limit with how much hair and dust it had to suck up and after multiple dust bin dumps that filled up an entire trash bag I can say that this vacuum cleaner is worth every single penny today. Its versatility with going from carpet to hard flooring was tremendously helpful along with the power lift away. The turbo brush attachment turned cleaning the furniture off less of a chore and more so fun. Needless to say watching VacuumWars video had helped me make a decision since I'm going from a 80$ vacuum cleaner that's many years old to a now top of the line model that works wonders.

One aspect I think you should add to your reviews, at least for shark vacuums, is if the handle has lights on it. I had the apex duo clean which had led lights on the handle, and I replaced it with the vertex when it came out. I was quite disappointed with shark, that they removed the lights on the handle with the vertex. It's a very under appreciated feature on a vacuum for it comes in handy so many times especially when using the handle when vacuuming under furniture and such where it's dark. I've purchased every new shark vacuum since my 1st one with the rotator. But until they put lights back on the handle, I'll be skipping out on the Stratos. The apex duo clean is still the top shark vacuum for me because of that.

How does it compare to the vertex? The vertex has a 12in brush roll while the Stratos has a 10in brush roll. Do you think that is why the Stratos has a slightly better pickup on carpets? Which one would you recommend, the Stratos or Vertex for cleaning pretty large carpeted areas with lots of foot traffic? Also which one "feels" better? In sense of build quality? I know this is a vague question, but it still has some merit to it. It seems as if they are pretty similar. I just need a good workhorse. I am welcoming anyone for suggestions.

The Shark is also much easier to maneuver around obstacles and believe it or not having a light on it actually is a benefit. I was always a Dyson person but the Shark 🦈 won me over.

A couple of PROs not mentioned, at least in regard to the Stratos vs Vertex: The head of the vertex is narrower at the leading edge, giving the Stratos a little better reach under appliances and low furniture. The second PRO is the hose. The Stratos is a bit more more supple and expands more easily without rebounding the vacuum over on its side.

I'm buying a new home and going to upgrade my old shark vacuum. I am stuck on this stratos upright or the stratos corded stick vacuum. Do you have any reviews on the corded stick version? Wondering if it has a much suction and power as this upright. Love your channel btw ❤️

Could you test the Stratos against the Animal Ball 3?

For someone who has mostly hard floors, with a few throw rugs and 2 indoor super shedding dogs, would the stratos upright be overkill? I was looking at the stratos corded stick vacuum but wasn't sure the difference in pick up power. I have seen where you did the cordless stratos stick vac, but I am interested in the corded. Thank you

I think it would have made more sense if they would have made the odor eliminator pod a part of the exhaust filter instead of a complete different component I feel like it's something that's going to be completely forgettable I wonder if company sell charcoal filters for a wide variety of brands for those the ones this eliminating odor?

Is the hose on the Stratos really only 2.95 feet? The hose on the Vertex was 5.5 feet. Also, is there a light on the handle, as there is on the floor nozzle/base?

I think I speak for everyone when I say “we need to see more cat nip testing with the fur babies” 😻😹😽

Yes! That kitty looked identical to my first fur baby and was probably the reason I decided this model was perfect for me. MORE cat nip testing, please!

Interesting that the Stratos is cheaper (399.00) at Walmart than the Vertex on Amazon (449.00)

Careful the story’s advertising on Walmart is for a similar named stick vacuum see the correct model numbers

Availability does that sometimes. The vertex definitely can be had cheaper than the Stratos

After watching your videos I started to consider getting a shark, however when checking the reviews in Amazon I have boticed that some people complains that after 2 years the hose breakes and the vacuum stops working. Could it be an issue in the use or that the vacuum is designed to fail after such time? Which vacuum can last you for several years?

Vacuums from Sebos and Miele will generally last twice as long and are build more rugged than Sharks or Dysons. But the tradeoff is that they cost alot more (over double the price) and aren't any better in cleaning performance than the best models from Dyson or Shark.

Nothing I've ever seen prevents vacuum odor if you have pets except a thorough cleaning of the vacuum inside and out. My Dyson stick vac was one of the most resistant to vacuum stench, but even that one needed to be taken apart and given a good cleaning every few months. You cannot cover vacuum stench with a perfume capsule.

I have the Vertex and love it, but it is long in the tooth at this point. I am debating getting another now that they are discounted or maybe this new unit. If anyone has had both, is the Stratos head any thinner or more tapered at the front to better fit under cabinets, couches, etc.? And why on earth don't they make a soft silicon wrap for the head to protect furniture? Anyway, I love these videos-nobody is better than Vacuum Wars!

I just can't wait to see the review for the new cordless model (when it's out) compared to the vertex. It would be nice to also see a quick comparison with each of the different cordless verse styles since it has changed.
