I like the Shark Stratos Corded Stick Vacuum. I think it works very good. I was able to reach some places that I couldn't with a large vacuum. I was able to clean up some messes that I couldn't with the large vacuum. I liked that I could use it as a hand held vacuum and cleaned areas I have had problems with. I had a hard time trying to assemble it.Then I had to really look where to put the vacuum to store it because the print was small. I wish the collection cup was a lot bigger, I had to stop and empty it a lot. It is very good for someone with pets and I would recommend it for them. Had to push it a lot to clean the floor because of the small floor cleaner. I would recommend it even if it isn't perfect.
