Our Verdict

Shark Rotator Lift-Away ADV

Shark Stratos Upright [AZ3000, AZ3002]

The Shark Stratos Upright is marginally better than the Shark Rotator Lift-Away ADV, though both vacuums are pretty similar overall. The Stratos is a little easier to clean and has a handle-mounted surface adjustment dial rather than the Rotator's body-mounted switch. Its PowerFins HairPro floorhead also does a better job of reducing hair wraps compared to the Rotator's previous-generation head. The Rotator is a little lighter and more comfortable to use in its 'Lift-Away' configuration.
