Awesome, I've had a hunch that tech needed to balance with suction for a while. You don't need so much power you ruin rugs, you just need to have the right balance in the head of the vacuum. Great review as always, thanks! Smiles and blessings...
I really hope you do an updated review of the version with the base. You have complained in the past about the issue of stick vacuum not standing and the base solves that at least for storage. Shatk also claims the base is also HEPA sealed so you aren't re-poluting to the air when empty it. Finally they claim 60 minutes of runtime on that version and the extra tool (both speak to your biggest issues).
I love this channel, I don’t know why vacuuming and cleaning is so fascinating but it really is. Anyways I can vouch for this brand as I have the stratos and the one before it and both are amazing! It’s their brush heads that never clog or tangle and that’s even with my two dogs, one being pure bred mini Aussie and the other being a mix of Aussie and Husky and both obviously have a double coat and both shed so much everyday regardless I deshed often that I vacuum nearly everyday and the Stratos is phenomenal! I have a nice corded dyson that does such a good job cleaning my carpet but I bought the Shark Stratos stick because I knew I’d vacuum more often than once weekly because of ease to get out and convenience to use and sure enough it’s held me accountable to keeping the floors as clean as I can with two hairy, messy dogs. Anyways I love this brand for long haired, double coated dogs and it also picks up stuffing from demolished dog toys no problem or crumbs, etc. it’s a well rounded stick vacuum that isn’t $500+
I received mine yesterday and I'm so happy! The motor in my Dyson has been replaced so many times and gives out within like 2 uses... it's under warranty still, but it's so frustrating. I'm done with Dyson for now. I'm so glad you did this review! Your channel is so helpful and honest ❤
@@VacuumWarscan you also please review the Shark Detect Pro robot self emptying bin? You just reviewed this cordless one but they just released the robot version. It just came out couple weeks ago and is newer over the Matrix you covered.
I feel like Shark and Dyson could come together to create the perfect vacuum at this point. Dyson with it's floor laser light. Hard to even imagine improvements above this other than more power, more battery life, or other features we haven't imagined yet.
Don't even say it! They will join up and your next vacuum cleaner will cost $5000! Where vacuum cleaners are concerned, it's great to see some competition!
Let get real here all Shark do is copy other companies, Dyson had self adjusting machines years ago and they have now moved on to the next big thing, showing that a floor is clean ( Gen5 ) And the illumination ( Laser ) is amazing. @@Kryojenix
I found a almost perfect return Shark Stratos and I love it. Huge suction even in eco mode and almost never plugs up in the hose from the power head like my old 280 duo clean. If this is even better and lighter that's a win right there. I can't find reasonably priced batteries for my Stratos yet either but I'm sure someone in China will be selling decent cheap knockoffs eventually. I think in eco mode I can get 15 or 20 minutes out of mine and I use it to clean the areas my parrots drop all their food and crumbs around. The old vacuum would always plug up this one doesn't care even in eco mode. Keep up the good work 👍
How long do you think all of the good things about this vacuum will last before malfunctioning or breaking-down? I’ve noticed that even good products don’t last more than a couple of years. I understand that all mechanisms fail, but I expect a good product to last at least ten years. Maybe I’m old fashioned. I also understand that you can’t really know how to answer that. But, it’s just a thought. Edit: I also know that maintaining a product/machine increases its longevity. I am very good at cleaning, servicing, and maintaining my machines (I’ve had my lawnmower for more than twenty years.) But, even with good maintenance, products nowadays only last, at the most, five years.
I have the shark wand vac system. I use it for about 5 minutes everyday. The battery went in 10 months. They did send me a new battery just this week. Just purchase the detect pro system with the self-empting container. I'm just charging it up now so I don't know how well it works yet.
@@coffeecats6903 Hope you see this. Just got mine today too, and waiting on a charge, which takes a long time. Would love to know how you like yours now. I could have gotten the Shark Wand Vac second hand, but I checked reviews and I can see why they are trying to sell it so quick. I don't expect this to last,nothing does these days, esp. cordless vacs. They offered 50% off, so I tried it and at least that made up my mind, because I didn't want another lemon like my Tineco. Shouldn't say lemon, as the 2 batteries have lasted 3-4 years and most of it held up. It's just weak and a pain to empty.
this is basically a shark wandvac pro because they are both super light, but this one has more power, a slightly bigger dustbin, longer battery life and Hepa filtration!
He did say this might be his favourite overall. Lots of people ask,but it depends on your needs. For me the ultra light version has to win. I couldn't take the weight of the Stratos. I know the build quality, power and performance has to be overall better on the Stratos though,a s some reviewers have said. I'm glad Adam likes this one so much, for its peppy features for such a light vac it helped sway in this directions.
I purchased and then returned this vacuum. Besides the incredibly short battery life, when vacuuming you can feel flex and stress on the bar that attaches the heat to the hand held part. It feels very cheaply made.
I just got this with the auto empty. It feels a bit cheap/delicate I think that has to do with the light weight. The floor head is awesome. Grooms carpets well and feels like it digs in. Suction wise not the greatest. Not as good as my stratos cordless and fine dirt seems to go straight to the filter and not end up in the bin. Also not sure if mine has a problem but the floor sensors seem to not work that great. I'll be in the middle of the carpet and it will cut all the way down to barely moving the brush roll. Shadows and light seem to effect it.
I just got mine today. It feels really sturdy and much better made than my Tineco A11 Master, though I will sorely miss having 2 batteries, which came w/ that kit. Much much better suction though. Makes me wonder how I struggled w/ that gutless Tineco as long as I did. Payed way more for it too, even 4 years ago. Though Shark offered me 50% when I went chasing after a coupon on the American site. Never would have made the leap if they hadn't probably. So just got it today and frustrated waiting for the battery to charge. Only had a minute of runtime out of the box, but did let me test it enough to know it will be light years better than the Tineco ever was. Compared to a Stratos though, which seems to have the power and build quality of a cordless. I wouldn't be able to take the weight of a Stratos though. Too many pain issues. Even though the Detect Pro is supposed to weigh near the same as my also ultra lightweight Tineco, it just feels so much sturdier. It seems heavier in the power head where i need it, but lighter in the hand. Great build design, overall. But apples and oranges to compare it to a Stratos. If you can take the weight, seems a Stratos is a better and stronger vac.
Mine has a significant wobble on the wand. I got the Costco version with the flex wand so that's part of it but also has wobble at the joint between wand and handheld part. Did yours have a black attachment accessory on the wand? Mine came with two attachments and neither fit in it!
I have the auto empty as well, but w/out the flexible wand, so wobble isn't an issue. It seems sturdy enough to me, but i had a Tineco before, and this is definitely a more study build. You're right about the fine dust going right to the filter though. That filter needs to be shaken out often and takes forever, as it holds tons of fine dust. None of that really seems to get into the bin. They say once a month for the filter, but you should do it more often. More lke weekly. I went a few weeks and the vacuum was getting hot real quick. Banging the filter out seems to resolve that right away. I find the auto empty is a bit of a gimmick though. It has it's perks, but that bin is very tiny and should have been bigger. As it jsut creates a lot more to empty, and a bunch of extra filters to keep clean. This Shark worked way better than my Tineco, so it took tons out of my carpets, but I had to empty that bin the first week.
First off! Watching the bin get auto-emptied is so delightful, I picked mine up on the Prime Day sale, (1.3ltr version)at £249 a 40% discount with the auto-clean base station. Coming from owning the Tineco Hero and the Shark Vertex Pro for three years. My main complaint with those models was the messy process of emptying the dustbin, as most times than not when emptying something would be stuck and you'd need to put your hands in and pull it out, also the fine dust would just fly back out in the air again and cover the bin, Tineco Hero's filters were particularly more problematic, becoming clogged after each vacuuming session, all of this simply defeats the purpose of cleaning! Luckily the auto clean station addresses this which on bonus also charges the unit.(2 birds, 1 stone) I really like the new hybrid brush design of the Shark Detect Pro, it is a significant improvement, and the whole thing is super lightweight and easy to maneuver. However, it may not be suitable for high-pile furry carpets. Despite this, it performs exceptionally well on all other surfaces. Although the unit is fragile and can flex under excessive pressure, Shark offers a five-year warranty upon registration, providing peace of mind. I give this a solid 9/10.
Don't you have to empty the auto empty disposal units anyway. With robot vacs I understand but a handheld vac, you might as well empty it straight to the trash instead of moving it from one container to another.
@@TurkinaFaso Probably more like 20 or more times to 1, as the vac dustbin is very small. The self empty bin is pretty small too though. They've already come up w/ a bigger bin size for the 2nd UK model. Not sure when we'll see that in N. America. UK seems to get better kits overall and not sure why? Canada always gets the most basic models.
@@saintejeannedarc9460 US consumer might be a little more willing to replace their stuff more often. Since social life sucks in the US. People spend their money mostly on outside dining and replacing their electronics over and over 😄
@@TurkinaFaso It's no better in Canada. I can't believe the lack of quality these days. I understand that things were a lot heavier back in the day, but I have 2 vacuums, a weak Bissell first gen corded stick vac and a heavy as heck, and strong as a bull, Dirt Devil upright. One 30 yrs the other at least 20. I'm lucky my gutless Tineco cordless has lasted over 3 years and still going, but it's always been pretty gutless, though was an upgrade from the Bissell stick. Got my Shark Detect Pro today. Taking forever to charge, but the bit that I did have, it's a big upgrade from the Tineco A11 Master. I think battery is going to be a big issue though. Have charged over half an hour at time and still only got 2 minutes out of it at 2 bars. I think it was mostly on turbo though, from so much cat fur on my stickiest carpet, which the Tineco never could get clean and always looked dusty.
Thanks, I just bought one, its very easy to use. I got the model with the stand, it would be cool if you could review that one too. I am waiting to get the extra battery.
I just got the stand model today too. Wouldn't have considered it otherwise, because the dustbin is so tiny. It fills up fast too, as this thing picks up so much better than my Tineco, and I can't stress enough how messy that thing was to empty. Made me barely want to vacuum after awhile, so this should make a difference. Waiting for the battery to charge has been a pain though. Got a mintue of run time to test it. Gave it half an hour a few times, and still only got barely a minute. So I can see only one battery will probably be a big issue for me. The Tineco, as gutless as it always was in comparison, at least came w/ 2, so I'm very used to swap and go.
Depends on your needs. I got the Detect Pro just today. Pretty strong and works well. I need the ultra light weight and I know it, as I have pain and strength issues. If I didn't, I might go w/ the Stratos, as I know it will be an overall stronger vac and better build quality. W/ all that comes much more weight though. The Detect Pro does better for edged cleaning, which is always an issue w/ vacuums.
The detect is better. The stratos got 87% on the carpet deep clean test while the detect gets 94% on the deep clean test. So the detect is more powerful
I would really appreciate it if you did an update to this video, like a review after x amount of use, because I'm curious how that hybrid brushroll will hold up over time, i think it will get very dirty and grubby, defeating its advantage of having a soft roller
I noticed the power was reviewed at MAX power only. I see a significant delta between the cordless Stratos and the new detect pro. Makes complete sense that with the quadclead head being that efficient; why focus on suction power like all the rest when you can do something well and bring a difference to the game. BUT! My question is, take away that unique technology and does the Stratos still kill the Detect Pro for handheld usage? What is the power difference in eco mode and when using just the handheld unit without floor head? Did you ever record those numbers? Example: I want to clean my car; will one be significantly better with just the handheld unit over the other?
I bet the Stratos would be better, if you can get past the clunky shape and big dustbin. Detect Pro is definitely weaker and has 1 mere attachment. I need something lightweight, so couldn't go w/ the Stratos, as I know it would wear me out in no time.
Well, got the previous gen, and probably this one is same , big cons : Proprietary battery, that you can't find anywhere for a decent price. Also this vacuum is not popular enough to get those power tools retrofit attachment ! very fun to find those after 4-5 years in the garbage. There should be a law for that , just like they try for phones and cars...
There is one thing I hope the detect pro cordless improves from the stratos cordless. The auto detect feature on the stratos cordless is very rudimentary. It happens to have too many false positive(a tiny bit of large debris is sucked up at full power, and the machine gambles by continuing on full power for 2 seconds, which there often is no more debris). Often time it goes full power even for one large debris. The floor detect has to be very accurate, and responsive so to accurately modulate the power. The roller head also needs to be able to be very responsive.
They both have so many merits! We haven't sat down and compared the two but we do have a review of that stratos right here: ruclips.net/video/DkWj9TNiNVo/видео.html
There's a few other channels that have covered that. This channel does more comprehensive other tests, but not maintenance. Just a Dad covered maintenance. You have to clean at least 2 filters in the vaccuum and another 2 in the base station. One each has to be regular, the other mayble every month or so. All are rinsable, but need an over night dry. The sensors on the vacuum head need a dust here and there to work properly for edge clean boost and light boost.
The auto empty version also charges on the base so when you put it away it's charging. So in theory you should never have a depleted battery unless you leave it off the base.
Dyson not innovating much considering what we see here. Interesting head, this is an improvement over soft roller which can't do carpet but then this also an improvement over the traditional carpet brush head now with a larger mouth. This Shark though has deal breakers like tiny, weak battery at this price. Specs lists it at 18V which likely means using only five battery cells where average cheap vacs use six so not only this has short runtime, replacing the battery pack is certain in one year. Another deal breaker is the lack of small powered brush or dust mite brush head. Another amazon review says it does not pick up well at the edges vs a $100 cheap vacuum he owns, so a real carpet brush head or well sealed head still works best for hard floors.
I used mine out of the box yesterday for 20 minutes and it barely had a charge. It got cat hair out of my carpet that my Dyson left behind. I'm really happy with this so far.
hey there, thanks for all the videos you put out, they are extremely useful! i am wondering what would you suggest between this and the normal stratos? (the prices are similar, 280 euro for the normal version stratos) and 330 for this one with the auto empty station. thanks alot in advance. (i have no carpets in my house, however it do have thick gym matts)
It looks like there are 2 versions of this vacuum, one with a PowerFins Brushroll, one with the QuadClean Surface Brushroll (that you reviewed). Do you have any review of the PowerFins Brushroll?
We are looking at that one as well as a handful of new releases now, so the initial reviews will be coming out one at a time starting next week. Thank you for asking.
While I’d admit the light placement is odd. I like the one with the self clean suck down. LoL. Sorry. Self empty, sound better? Although after a certain period of time, you still must empty. Depends how much dust, hair, and crumbs, etc., it picks up. They tell ya a month but I should really think someone at Shark should be on record for saying that might vary [ymmv]. I think another pro was that clean scent. They said that it had that but didn’t hear as a pro. It would be for me. Did this model really come out in September 2023? I’m afraid to see listing price for either - over $350.00?
I frankly feel this review is a bit biased, or glossing over the actual cleaning performance, disregarding larger debris. 94% deep clean score is not that far above a typical robot vacuum, and I do feel like if the only head attachment cant reach 100% on the carpet, that’s not great. The same thing seems to happen on hardfloors. If you look at the video at 2:25, the vacuum doesnt pick up all of the coffee grounds on the first pass over a hardfloor, which really doesnt seem great. So the low suction numbers do seem to have a pretty large effect on the cleaning performance.
@@kevindd992002it’s probably not as bad as something you’d get from aliexpress. If it’s what you can afford, it’s certainly better than nothing, or a broom. But i’d say it’s pretty much scraping just to get bare minimum.
This has just reduced to only £300 with the 2L auto empty station. A huge £150 (33%) discount. I bought the Dyson Omniglide and it's such a disappointment. Half the time the fluff and fur it picks up gets rolled one way through one roller and then the other way with the second roller and then the Dyson is spitting out matted clumps of fur instead of sucking them up!!!
Is it just my Shark.. when I turn vacuum to left and right, half of the headlights always go off depending which direction I turn my vacuum. Any idea if it's supposed to be this way?
Functionally, with the pickup and everything, (I know you've updated your tests) how do you feel this compares to The Vertex Pro cordless lift away? I I'm looking to purchase a new cordless vacuum and I love the idea of the ion p50 but really hated the hair wrap I know it's called Duo Clean brushrolls I want something that actually does a good job on carpet like that one did with its Superior airflow.
2:53 this pisses me off so much. The stratos cordless STILL doesnt have any batteries available. I was strongly considering buying it until I I learned this. They should really be embarrassed
The handle look like drill but the product is highly build and good quality nice speed of the motor and vacuum suction is excellent my wife forced me to buy it 😢
I have always been tienco but this will maybe bring me over. I'm curious to see what v2 of this would bring. I think tienco is up for a refresh as well soon, so they may keep me for now. Just have to wait and see.
It would be amazing if you could test Xiaomi's vaccums, they are very popular in europe. Bosch vaccums are also very popular but is dificult to find well made reviews. Shark do not sell officially in my country... very hard to find available.
Vacuums are all designed and sold around the world using metric measurements so it makes sense. In a comparison it doesn't really matter anyway so long as units are the same. The US needs to adapt, not have everything changed just for them.
cant stand our shark duo clean with fins. Its a pos. I really wish vacuum wars would have did the test with more debris like simple paper or small cardboard pieces. It clogs the suction tunnel every time especially if you have any dogs around the house or children. I had to make a make shift coat hanger to clear the tube anytime it clogs. If you dont every have to deal with kids or pets messes, then go for it get a shark. In the real world tests, shark doesnt work for crap.
Shark Detect Pro on Shark's website: geni.us/u2Is OR Amazon: geni.us/AmTps Shark Detect Pro with Auto-Empty System on Shark's website: geni.us/cB8F OR Amazon: geni.us/B6GsL
If you consult with Shark, recommend they make their wand telescopic(to make longer or shorter for use with hand tool attachment), with a foldable hinge.
I had a Dyson and i had a Shark and i will never go back to Dyson. FIrst, Dyson's main technology patent that made it a household name is now expired and everyone can use it and improve on it and Shark has done just that for the fraction of the ridiculous cost of a Dyson
Glad to have your voice back! 😅 someone else was talking about vacuums, but it wasn’t you, so I felt… 😒
Lol he does that since this channel is making more videos
omg i felt the same exact way 😂😂
Dyson requires 2 of your kidneys while shark says, one is fine. LOL
What has impressed me about Shark is their ingenuity to design floorhead rollers that just make sense. This new 2-in-1 design is neat.
Awesome, I've had a hunch that tech needed to balance with suction for a while. You don't need so much power you ruin rugs, you just need to have the right balance in the head of the vacuum. Great review as always, thanks! Smiles and blessings...
Really like the look of this and was worried you'd say it was rubbish and ruin my future purchase lol
Would be interesting to compare Shark Detect Pro vs v12, almost same price range with discounts.

My main complaint with those models was the messy process of emptying the dustbin, as most times than not when emptying something would be stuck and you'd need to put your hands in and pull it out, also the fine dust would just fly back out in the air again and cover the bin, Tineco Hero's filters were particularly more problematic, becoming clogged after each vacuuming session, all of this simply defeats the purpose of cleaning! Luckily the auto clean station addresses this which on bonus also charges the unit.(2 birds, 1 stone)
I really like the new hybrid brush design of the Shark Detect Pro, it is a significant improvement, and the whole thing is super lightweight and easy to maneuver. However, it may not be suitable for high-pile furry carpets. Despite this, it performs exceptionally well on all other surfaces.
Although the unit is fragile and can flex under excessive pressure, Shark offers a five-year warranty upon registration, providing peace of mind.
I give this a solid 9/10.
Don't you have to empty the auto empty disposal units anyway. With robot vacs I understand but a handheld vac, you might as well empty it straight to the trash instead of moving it from one container to another.
isn't it obvious? it is like 5 times vs 1
@@TurkinaFaso Probably more like 20 or more times to 1, as the vac dustbin is very small. The self empty bin is pretty small too though. They've already come up w/ a bigger bin size for the 2nd UK model. Not sure when we'll see that in N. America. UK seems to get better kits overall and not sure why? Canada always gets the most basic models.
@@saintejeannedarc9460 US consumer might be a little more willing to replace their stuff more often. Since social life sucks in the US. People spend their money mostly on outside dining and replacing their electronics over and over 😄
@@TurkinaFaso It's no better in Canada. I can't believe the lack of quality these days. I understand that things were a lot heavier back in the day, but I have 2 vacuums, a weak Bissell first gen corded stick vac and a heavy as heck, and strong as a bull, Dirt Devil upright. One 30 yrs the other at least 20. I'm lucky my gutless Tineco cordless has lasted over 3 years and still going, but it's always been pretty gutless, though was an upgrade from the Bissell stick.
Got my Shark Detect Pro today. Taking forever to charge, but the bit that I did have, it's a big upgrade from the Tineco A11 Master. I think battery is going to be a big issue though. Have charged over half an hour at time and still only got 2 minutes out of it at 2 bars. I think it was mostly on turbo though, from so much cat fur on my stickiest carpet, which the Tineco never could get clean and always looked dusty.
Thanks, I just bought one, its very easy to use. I got the model with the stand, it would be cool if you could review that one too. I am waiting to get the extra battery.
I just got the stand model today too. Wouldn't have considered it otherwise, because the dustbin is so tiny. It fills up fast too, as this thing picks up so much better than my Tineco, and I can't stress enough how messy that thing was to empty. Made me barely want to vacuum after awhile, so this should make a difference. Waiting for the battery to charge has been a pain though. Got a mintue of run time to test it. Gave it half an hour a few times, and still only got barely a minute. So I can see only one battery will probably be a big issue for me. The Tineco, as gutless as it always was in comparison, at least came w/ 2, so I'm very used to swap and go.
i am LOVING this vacuum! very impressed
That is great to hear!
What did you have before to compare it too, and was it your first cordless stick?
Really waiting for the Shark Detect Pro Robot Vacuum review, especially the obstacle avoidance test
Are u going to test the shark upright carpet cleaner
Not sure as of yet but thank you for asking.
I have every video at my fingertips but I keep coming back to VacuumWars. Maybe it’s the voice.
Glad you like it!
Stratos or detect??? Which is better
Depends on your needs. I got the Detect Pro just today. Pretty strong and works well. I need the ultra light weight and I know it, as I have pain and strength issues. If I didn't, I might go w/ the Stratos, as I know it will be an overall stronger vac and better build quality. W/ all that comes much more weight though. The Detect Pro does better for edged cleaning, which is always an issue w/ vacuums.
The detect is better. The stratos got 87% on the carpet deep clean test while the detect gets 94% on the deep clean test. So the detect is more powerful
I would really appreciate it if you did an update to this video, like a review after x amount of use, because I'm curious how that hybrid brushroll will hold up over time, i think it will get very dirty and grubby, defeating its advantage of having a soft roller
I noticed the power was reviewed at MAX power only. I see a significant delta between the cordless Stratos and the new detect pro. Makes complete sense that with the quadclead head being that efficient; why focus on suction power like all the rest when you can do something well and bring a difference to the game. BUT! My question is, take away that unique technology and does the Stratos still kill the Detect Pro for handheld usage? What is the power difference in eco mode and when using just the handheld unit without floor head? Did you ever record those numbers? Example: I want to clean my car; will one be significantly better with just the handheld unit over the other?
I bet the Stratos would be better, if you can get past the clunky shape and big dustbin. Detect Pro is definitely weaker and has 1 mere attachment. I need something lightweight, so couldn't go w/ the Stratos, as I know it would wear me out in no time.
Well, got the previous gen, and probably this one is same , big cons : Proprietary battery, that you can't find anywhere for a decent price. Also this vacuum is not popular enough to get those power tools retrofit attachment ! very fun to find those after 4-5 years in the garbage. There should be a law for that , just like they try for phones and cars...
Great review.
Would you be reviewing the Dyson V12 Submarine? I refuse to buy vacuums without seeing a review from you first 😂
We are waiting for that to be released in the US!
Is this better than the Shark Stratos? I understood that was the best shark going.
Would love if reviews included how easy or messy it is emptying canisters after vacuuming hair 😅
There is one thing I hope the detect pro cordless improves from the stratos cordless. The auto detect feature on the stratos cordless is very rudimentary. It happens to have too many false positive(a tiny bit of large debris is sucked up at full power, and the machine gambles by continuing on full power for 2 seconds, which there often is no more debris). Often time it goes full power even for one large debris. The floor detect has to be very accurate, and responsive so to accurately modulate the power. The roller head also needs to be able to be very responsive.
It's not unfortunately
I think you're expecting miracles. It's already pretty innovative.
I really love your reviews. Would you take this vacuum over the Shark Stratos cordless? Thank you
Peter
They both have so many merits! We haven't sat down and compared the two but we do have a review of that stratos right here: ruclips.net/video/DkWj9TNiNVo/видео.html
Thank you so much for your quick response. Keep up the great reviews. I really enjoy watching them
Peter@@VacuumWars
This has to be better than the wand vac! I hate that thing because you have to empty it 24-7 even when above floor cleaning
does it self stand ?
Can you please do a video on how to clean/maintain this vacuum? Thank you!
There's a few other channels that have covered that. This channel does more comprehensive other tests, but not maintenance. Just a Dad covered maintenance. You have to clean at least 2 filters in the vaccuum and another 2 in the base station. One each has to be regular, the other mayble every month or so. All are rinsable, but need an over night dry. The sensors on the vacuum head need a dust here and there to work properly for edge clean boost and light boost.
how it is on the noise scale? my daughter is very sensitive to sound and wakes up every time i try to vacuum with my dyson.
It's great value to, seen it in the UK for 229.00
This vacuum goes for 40 minutes, but if you get the other one with the auto empty station, you will get 60 minutes
The auto empty version also charges on the base so when you put it away it's charging. So in theory you should never have a depleted battery unless you leave it off the base.
How does this deal with long hair? I assume it has no anti wrap technology?
Been waiting for this one
That is good to hear. Thank you!
@@VacuumWarswhich one is better this or Stratos?
Should I buy this or the stratos?
Dyson not innovating much considering what we see here. Interesting head, this is an improvement over soft roller which can't do carpet but then this also an improvement over the traditional carpet brush head now with a larger mouth. This Shark though has deal breakers like tiny, weak battery at this price. Specs lists it at 18V which likely means using only five battery cells where average cheap vacs use six so not only this has short runtime, replacing the battery pack is certain in one year. Another deal breaker is the lack of small powered brush or dust mite brush head. Another amazon review says it does not pick up well at the edges vs a $100 cheap vacuum he owns, so a real carpet brush head or well sealed head still works best for hard floors.
I used mine out of the box yesterday for 20 minutes and it barely had a charge. It got cat hair out of my carpet that my Dyson left behind. I'm really happy with this so far.
hey there, thanks for all the videos you put out, they are extremely useful! i am wondering what would you suggest between this and the normal stratos? (the prices are similar, 280 euro for the normal version stratos) and 330 for this one with the auto empty station. thanks alot in advance. (i have no carpets in my house, however it do have thick gym matts)
It looks like there are 2 versions of this vacuum, one with a PowerFins Brushroll, one with the QuadClean Surface Brushroll (that you reviewed). Do you have any review of the PowerFins Brushroll?
How do you think this compares to the Bespoke Jet? I’m torn between the two.
I have read the sharks are no good in the long run. Does anybody have info on that?
My Shark Vertex clogs like crazy. I'd like to know if this is any better.
Please review the Shark CarpetXpert!!!!
I was wondering if you could test the new dreame l20 ultra becouse i think i would be very intresting 😊
We are looking at that one as well as a handful of new releases now, so the initial reviews will be coming out one at a time starting next week. Thank you for asking.
What are your thoughts on Performance Reviews critiques on Shark vacs?
I like some shark and all dysons.
Ive just brought this item my concern is the stick/pole is really thin?surely its going to get clogged up?
Unfortunately they sell them at a high premium in my country, which makes them not worth it
Where can i find a replacement battery for the detect pro?
Detect pro robot just released! Would love to see your opinion on that product. Looks like it has avoidance system and priced the same as AI Ultra.
Anyone know if the model that does not come with the base is compatible if you buy the base separate? I was gifted it and really wanted the base.
They seem to have the extra batteries on their site though out of stock.
While I’d admit the light placement is odd. I like the one with the self clean suck down. LoL. Sorry. Self empty, sound better? Although after a certain period of time, you still must empty. Depends how much dust, hair, and crumbs, etc., it picks up. They tell ya a month but I should really think someone at Shark should be on record for saying that might vary [ymmv]. I think another pro was that clean scent. They said that it had that but didn’t hear as a pro. It would be for me. Did this model really come out in September 2023? I’m afraid to see listing price for either - over $350.00?
I frankly feel this review is a bit biased, or glossing over the actual cleaning performance, disregarding larger debris. 94% deep clean score is not that far above a typical robot vacuum, and I do feel like if the only head attachment cant reach 100% on the carpet, that’s not great. The same thing seems to happen on hardfloors. If you look at the video at 2:25, the vacuum doesnt pick up all of the coffee grounds on the first pass over a hardfloor, which really doesnt seem great. So the low suction numbers do seem to have a pretty large effect on the cleaning performance.
good catch
So you don't recommend this at all, is what your'e saying?
@@kevindd992002it’s probably not as bad as something you’d get from aliexpress. If it’s what you can afford, it’s certainly better than nothing, or a broom. But i’d say it’s pretty much scraping just to get bare minimum.
This has just reduced to only £300 with the 2L auto empty station. A huge £150 (33%) discount.
I bought the Dyson Omniglide and it's such a disappointment. Half the time the fluff and fur it picks up gets rolled one way through one roller and then the other way with the second roller and then the Dyson is spitting out matted clumps of fur instead of sucking them up!!!
Is it just my Shark.. when I turn vacuum to left and right, half of the headlights always go off depending which direction I turn my vacuum. Any idea if it's supposed to be this way?
Have you tried a review about the rainbow srx?
Functionally, with the pickup and everything, (I know you've updated your tests) how do you feel this compares to The Vertex Pro cordless lift away? I I'm looking to purchase a new cordless vacuum and I love the idea of the ion p50 but really hated the hair wrap I know it's called Duo Clean brushrolls I want something that actually does a good job on carpet like that one did with its Superior airflow.
Can this be used on two fold wool carpet?
did you review the various new ryobi stick vacs?
2:53 this pisses me off so much. The stratos cordless STILL doesnt have any batteries available. I was strongly considering buying it until I I learned this. They should really be embarrassed
Same with the share cordless pro. No batteries, even on ebay.
The handle look like drill but the product is highly build and good quality nice speed of the motor and vacuum suction is excellent my wife forced me to buy it 😢
Do you have a vacuum power video on the Shark cordless stick vacuum with clean sense IQ?
The Stratos - ruclips.net/video/DkWj9TNiNVo/видео.html
What do you do with all the items your test out when you’re done making videos? Random sorry! Haha
We save them for competition videos!
How does it work on taller carpets
When is the Roborock Dyad Pro Review Coming?
We don't have one yet. 🤷🏻♂
Red and green light on switch confuses me ?
What is the wand clip used for?
Can you review blue air 211
I have always been tienco but this will maybe bring me over. I'm curious to see what v2 of this would bring. I think tienco is up for a refresh as well soon, so they may keep me for now. Just have to wait and see.
Still Dyson all the way 🙈
Why couldn't they have made the battery white to match the rest of the unit?
Paint it with plastidip
Can’t find any batteries for it
Are you going to be doing a new spot cleaner videos for 2023? @vacumewars
Shark needs to make there vacuums more repairable because they break easy
Anyone know what to do with the black attachment holder on the wand? The attachments dont fit on it!
It attaches to the handle of the vacuum if for some reason you don't want to put it on the base and want it to stand up by itself.
@@Instegone thank you so much! i asked so many people about this and they didnt know. very grateful for your answer
Just can't justify the price. Will wait if it ever comes to Costco for some savings
It would be amazing if you could test Xiaomi's vaccums, they are very popular in europe.
Bosch vaccums are also very popular but is dificult to find well made reviews.
Shark do not sell officially in my country... very hard to find available.
Finally companies implementing hybrid soft rollers and carpets brushes in a single head. Was there some kind of patent stopping these companies?
What's with the grams ? This is America 🇺🇲 Get with the lbs & ozs
Can you please start using Imperial measurements, in your videos please, because I didn't understand the measure difference.
Vacuums are all designed and sold around the world using metric measurements so it makes sense. In a comparison it doesn't really matter anyway so long as units are the same.
The US needs to adapt, not have everything changed just for them.
Seems pretty average
cant stand our shark duo clean with fins. Its a pos. I really wish vacuum wars would have did the test with more debris like simple paper or small cardboard pieces. It clogs the suction tunnel every time especially if you have any dogs around the house or children. I had to make a make shift coat hanger to clear the tube anytime it clogs. If you dont every have to deal with kids or pets messes, then go for it get a shark. In the real world tests, shark doesnt work for crap.
Because it's not meant for things like cardboard or paper, that's what a wet/dry vac is for or a broom. Square pegs don't fit into round holes.
Yes, good to know about the tiny pieces of cardboard box. We’ve had several dogs over the years. They didn’t always do the same stuff.
We need shark in Europe😥😥
No cyclone and a pleated paper filter. Shark is stuck in the 90s, and this is dreadful.

If you consult with Shark, recommend they make their wand telescopic(to make longer or shorter for use with hand tool attachment), with a foldable hinge.

We don't consult with them, but they will likely see your comment here. Thank you! @@kknn523
I had a Dyson and i had a Shark and i will never go back to Dyson. FIrst, Dyson's main technology patent that made it a household name is now expired and everyone can use it and improve on it and Shark has done just that for the fraction of the ridiculous cost of a Dyson
I'll be sticking with my duo clean
