Our Verdict

Shark Vertex Pro Powered Lift-Away

Shark Stratos Upright [AZ3000, AZ3002]

The Shark Vertex Pro Powered Lift-Away and the Shark Stratos Upright are differently designed vacuums with slightly different intended use cases. The Vertex is a more compact, lighter cordless upright that's better suited to cleaning far-off areas, though it can only run for about 30 to 40 minutes in its default upright configuration. Conversely, the Stratos is a heavier, less maneuverable corded machine, but with better performance on carpeted surfaces. The Stratos also features a suction release slider that makes it easier to maneuver on carpeted floors as well as an odor-neutralization system.
