I am so happy I upgraded to the Shark Stratos! This has amazing suction! I was amazed at how much this picked up vs my old vacuum. I have four cats and hair gets everywhere. Very easy to use, mostly easy to move around. I find small U-turns a little difficult to do but other than really easy. I love the lift away feature, makes getting stairs clean a breeze! I have a bad wrist and like that it's not too heavy. The attachment for the couch is really convenient as well. Overall very easy to clean and maintain, which is a huge help for me. Very happy with this Shark Vacuum!
