Our Verdict

Shark Stratos Cordless

Shark Cordless Pro [IZ562H, UZ565H]

The Shark Stratos Cordless is a complete upgrade over the Shark Cordless Pro. The Stratos has a more powerful motor, yielding improved carpet performance and a higher-capacity battery. The Stratos also comes bundled with a folding wand to easily clean under tables and chairs, though you can find the same accessory on some variants of the Cordless Pro. The cheaper Cordless Pro does have its advantages. It's noticeably lighter and slightly easier to maintain by virtue of its removable brushroll, which makes it much less of a hassle to clear out any tangled hair.
