As a pet owner and Freakin Reviews fan, these videos are ALWAYS my favorite. Bailey is such a queen for putting up with all that. :)
If I remember correctly Daisy does not like vacuums and she’s the oldest out of the goldens. Then Elle completes the doggie trio.
Yes she steals the show !

@@PRDreams you need to take a break from the internet and look in the mirror for a while
@@jkadoodle no, I do not. If you also sound like that - which I'm assuming you do as you seem to be taking this personally - then you need an actual life, not just Bethany.
I hope Bailey was rewarded with her favorite treat for donating fur for the video.😂
Bless Baileys heart! She’s a good girl who’s always willing to help. Golden retriever pac man😂😂😂😂😂😂
I know she’s so darn cute. Sniffing the camera. Lol 😂. She’s like do I get yummy treats after this?
If i may ask what is the name of the brush you use on your golden retriever bailey please let me no thanks
We need more vacuum reviews if it gets us more Bailey screen time.
Agreed!
Bailey was so curious about her disappearing fur 💛
Without Bailey, this video wouldn't be possible . Thanks Bailey !!!!!
Thank you Captain Obvious.
What a way to end Shark Week with a Shark vacuum, way to go James...and you too Bailey!
My dad bought this exact vacuum about three or so months ago, easily one of our favorites I've used over the past decade. Handles pet hair like a champ and I love the adjustable airflow option for carpet or hard floors. Shark knocked it out of the park with this one.
It's junk
@@robertlawrence9000Someone's mad they can't afford one lol
@@DamienPainter Shark is horrible. I seen plenty of vacuum reviews and owned one years ago. I had a Dyson years ago too but I moved and got rid of it. Later I got a eureka but that didn't last long. After many reviews I realized that going back to bag vacuums are actually better. I recently got a Hoover WindTunnel MAX and it works really good. The problem with some other brands is reliability, parts availability and loss of performance. After watching many reviews from professional vacuum maintenance technicians, I realized that a decent bagged vacuum will sustain suction for longer and is less messy. I settled on the Hoover because they are fairly reliable and have some maintenance features that are thought out pretty well.
@@robertlawrence9000Awwww another Shark hater. Junk? It's the best vacuum I've ever used and blew away the Dyson animal 3 I had. This and the vertex are the vest
Anyone calling Shark junk has absolutely no idea what they're talking about
@@el34glo59 Well since I owned both, I can tell you that Shark sucks. I seen many reviews from professionals and that's why I went with a bagged Hoover vaccuum.
Bailey is too cute ... James, watching you vacuum up everything especially Bailey's hair was so satisfying ... We all value your reviews, thank you .
Also really good to see Bailey and Elle. Glad they both still seem to be doing ok 😁👍
Thank you!!! We have two Golden Retrievers so I automatically love this review testing it against them. Our old cordless shark eventually succumbed - so we have ordered this as a replacement
To be honest with the review, I wouldn't pick up cereal and kibble on hard floor with the floor vac.. I'd use the wand feature, which I'm sure is more effective anyway.
BROOM
I would use a dustpan in a handbroom like 99% of other people
James smelling the vacuum was amusing. As always, thanks for the video my dude
This is one of the best vacuum reviews I have ever seen! Great job
I own 6 cats, and I got the Vertex when it came out! LOVE the Vertex! I didn't see much difference between the new Stratos and the Vertex so I'm not opting an upgrade. The only thing I'd like to see Shark improve is the hose... it's rather short and on all my Sharks it tends to tip over the unit when just using the attachments. It's due to the strong suction, which is good, but I've done damage to walls and furniture when the big thing tips over, which is every time I use it in attachment mode without removing the lift away. For those wanting an easy deordizing trick, put your favorite scent drops on cotton balls and put them in the canister empty. It works, even though it's hepa filtered. No need to invest just because of the deodorizer upgrade, which as far as I can tell is the only difference between the Vertex and Stratos... color variation as well but I like the blue brushes on the Vertex better anyway. The vacuums are excellent and have given Dyson a good competitor's run since they started. Can't beat that double roll vacuum head, it's what makes the Shark far superior to the Dyson, where you have to change heads to go from hard to carpet flooring. Most need range to high range vacuums are plenty enough in suction to satisfy a typical homeowner. The under appliance attachment is great for me as my cats constantly end up with their mice and balls under my freezer and fridge... it doesn't suck them up but gets their hair which will cause plugging of fridge vent and painful break down of the appliance if you don't keep it clean. You don't need to suck the dust off the moon, just out of your room...Dyson was revolutionary in their release way back when but now, they just keep adding gadget stuff like Lazer lights, which doesn't really get the dust up better it just shows you it can, which any light will do. So in the end if you get the Vertex for slightly cheaper, you'll get what this model can do... no need to pay for upgraded price for basically the same vacuum. Great review, thanks again!! Smiles and blessings...
Both great vacuums. Loved my vertex. Only reason I got the Stratos is my Vertex broke and I found a crazy deal for $260, for the entire Stratos pet package. Comes with every attachment, the scent replacers, the steam mop, etc. Brand new. Or I just would have bought another Vertex. Either way they're both the best vacuumes I've ever used
I have a 5 yr old shark , I love it , I also wish they would make the want longer to reach higher ! Wish they would have done it by now .
@@el34glo59were did u buy it from that deal price please
I just purchased this vac. Great review, LOVE Bailey! We have 8 Bernese Mtn Dogs, so we have a lot of hair! Great to see that Bailey is an older dog, and it looks like she is doing great! thanks for your insights!
Glad you posted this. Am in the process of looking for a new vacuum and was planning on going thru some of your vacuum videos soon!
That was so nice of Bailey to help you, I hope that she got paid with a few extra treats. Thank you for all that you do.
I wish you had a live channel where you just reviewed stuff 24/7 lol. LOVE Freakin Reviews
love loves ur vids.you always give them a real world breakdown&tell the pros&cons&all.
Awesome shout out for Vacuum wars, that guy deserves way more subs than he gets. I love my 3 shark vacuums (as well as my Miele).
Respect for that vacuum wars plug. Awesome video like always
Wow, thoroughly impressed with this vacuum! Minus the price factor, it seems like a worthwhile investment in the long-term for most pet owners, and I would imagine so more for those with multiple pets. Happy to see Bailey in another video, as well! Great review as always!
Buy a Sebo
Sharks aren’t worth it. Dyson and shark aren’t the only vacuum brands. It staggers me no end that people won’t do more than 10 minutes or research before dropping hundreds. Even less research than that will reveal shark is a garbage brand.
Lovely lovely dogs you have.. I know its not a channel for pet content, but I love when they are in the videos.. Always gives me a big smile
Loved your cohost Bailey, it's always good to see her. I'm not in the mkt for a vacuum, but great review and entertaining. Thanks!!
COMICAL! Both babies following you as you were using it on the bare floor!
That pet roller attachment just sold me on this. Thanks for showing that off. They had a $60 off coupon code on their site.
We still have the shark slim thats still kicking butt! Love your reviews!! What a beautiful dog you have as well can't go wrong with Bailey in your review!!
I know I should root for a vacuum to work but I find myself rooting for Bailey every time. 😆😻
Love the positive attitude keep up the good work 👍and i really like your dogs 😁
Always love & look forward to your freakin' reviews, you are the best, thank-you man!
Great review, and just what I needed with our dog, especially since it compared this unit with the Apex which I also have.
Finally a good Bailey fix! Nice to see Elle too. If I didn't have an older Shark vacuum, I would probably get this one.
I *LOVE* the Shark Lift-Away. I have parrots and they throw seed, pellets & food everywhere! In addition, the dust from their feathers lands on everything including the furniture. This machine has the power after a few years to keep up with the daily demand. If you’re in the market for a new vacuum get a Shark Lift-Away!
One of the very best reviews I have seen great video like always 😁
As usual, a detailed and informative review…AND Bailey (nice to see Elle too). What more can we ask for? Thanks James !!
Love your reviews bro and your son looks just like you loved the last c cream review y’all did
Oh my goodness Bailey is looking so much like your other golden as she gets older. I don't remember her name anymore cause it's been so long but she was a treat to see as well.
Daisy, I think her name was.
Her name is definitely Daisy!!!
@@Valacosa yep that's it! She was a sweetie
Thanks for the information, my apex just stopped working and honestly it’s the best vacuum I’ve had, but looking for an upgrade this stratos sounds very convenient! Little expensive but I think is worthy
Bought this vacuum after being continually frustrated with the lack of performance from my dirt devil vacuum. Arrived yesterday, cleaned yesterday. I was very very impressed with the performance of this vacuum! Thanks for reviewing this vacuum.
Not being a dog person (actually, I am afraid of dogs) I at first didn't plan to watch this video, but I'm glad I did. Bailey is such a good girl. So much kindness in her eyes. And the vacuum looks like a very good product.
I think it’s adorable the dogs were following you while vacuuming
Not only a great review but a great video! Love how Bailey participated and donated and sacrificed her hair!🤪✌️
Excellent video! I've seen a lot of reviews that did cereal, kitty litter, & hair test (this thing looks awesome) but I hadn't seen anyone that did the edge test and that's what I was curious about. Is this thing as amazing as it looks? I'm curious how quickly it will break, but to have a canister and upright all in one and that much power would be really amazing!
Thank you for another great comparison. I am on a quest for a cordless that word as well as a corded vacuum. I have several in my basement as my closet won’t hold them all LOL I’m at the point I have them delivered at my neighbors so hubby won’t say “OH NO NOT ANOTHER VACUUM HaHa!!!! Although he is right and I need to stop! Love your channel, you are so helpful especially with all my gadget buys
Thank you for the thorough review. I'm ordering Shark AZ3002 Stratos now :--))
So I just got my shark STRATOS130 I use this code on the shark website and got this unit for $299. I was concerned after watching other reviews from vacuum snobs. I am more than satisfied after getting it out of the box and using it. I’ve had Dysons, Hoover’s and I just did not want to go spend $700-$1500 on sebo or mila. Best vacuum I’ve purchased under $400!
It would be way to heavy for me. At that price it's a not for me too. Bailey is just the sweetest
dog a person can have, so is Elle. Our little Abby is getting old and it's heartbreaking to think of
her not with us any longer. Thanks for the review, James. Have a great week! 🥰🥰
It’s not heavy at all. I have some medical problems and my muscles are weak. I can lift it with zero difficulties. I got mine (not this exact model. No pet tools) during the holidays last year for $100.00!
@@wrinklesandsprinkles $100 is great price. I had two spinal surgeries and so I thought it would be way to hard for me.
@@ShirlBussman I also have spine issues from my neck to my sacrum. I don’t have the fancy one he’s reviewing but the one I got was originally $225.00. It is in the Lift-away line Shark has. This is my second one in 10years with numerous pets.
@@wrinklesandsprinkles Thank you for the info. I do appreciate it.
Love This! Best video in a while, great job James
Hey James, I gotta appreciate you not compressing or turning the volume of the vacuum down for the video! It sure did make my ears ring loudly! Lol cool vacuum though. But wear hearing pro if you use it or hopefully it’s just not as loud in real life as it was in the video. 😳
Awesome review. This sold me on the Stratos. Thank you
I came for your doggo. I love her guest appearances!
Big fan of the vacuum cam 😂
My mom owns the Apex model. Excellent vacuum and great warranty service. She followed all filter instructions but the old motor was overheating after a year at the time. She didn't know at the time that it came with a 5 year warranty. It saved us a lot of money. After following troubleshooting and going over what we done to try to remedy the issue before coming to them they approved a replacement of the whole motor part. Part looks just like new and haven't had an issue since. Instead of returning the old motor they just told us to recycle it at our local junk yard, which I did.
i will always have a shark vac. Had one since they first came out and never changed. Love it
Why? Have you ever looked into other clearly better brands?
I think that was the cutest review you've ever done!
Thanks for showing us the vacuum and Bailey. Bailey is always a win.
Thanks for your great review. I just ordered mine.
House is coming along looks nice the new wall paint color I have simular gray color throughout my whole house except I still need to paint the laundry room and closets in time 😁
Bailey is like “I have no idea what’s happening I’m just happy to be involved” 😂😂
Can you test some of the Miele vacuums. Bagged vacuums are always much more powerful than none bagged.
Thank you for your video. Very informative. Keep up the good work. 🍀🙏🦋
Bailey is the best!!! I have 2 dogs and 3 cats and the hair drives me crazy. I would LOVE a whole video or two on strictly pet hair items that help with the house and laundry !!!!!
BAILEY! Yes! This ought to be good - the Goldie against a shark.
Jacksonville resident here, I am appreciating the shirt 👍
I would love to see you do a review on the all new LG CordZero All in One Auto Empty Cordless Stick Vacuum.
Thanks for the Bailey and Elle video oh and the vacuum review 😁
Good video! I have a Miele, and a stick dyson, and I bought the robo ultra 7 max or whatever but get this, never got it from Amazon! Now I see their ver 8 is coming end of April. Not sure I can make it with 2 goldens 7 mo old pups, but gonna try to wait for the 8, cost they are saying around $1500. Ugh.
Looks really nice. And I love the under appliance/bed feature. I sure would hate to give up the Kirby though. :-/
I just received my order after seeing your review... hoping I like it!!
thanks, James. awesome review
My apex is just out of the 5 year warranty and the roller brush broke so i decided to buy one of these. I’m excited
I love when you have your dog in the video!
If that was you, filming the close-ups, they looked really GREAT, maybe add a little stabilization but that looked very professional, sans the shake.
I was debating between the newer soft roll brush vs the old brushing system and I decided with the old brush system since it’s more efficient on hard floors
I do love my old shark rotator professional lift away, it is a great vacuum
Great Job Baily. Great video and awesome vacuum.
Love the power button on the handle .
Best vacuum I've ever owned. Your review reveals exactly what I've experienced using the Stratos. The steam mop works fine, but the upgrade (S7001TGT) is the one you want. Too bad Shark only sends customers the S1000 mop.
I just got the Shark Stratos Ultralight Corded Stick Vacuum for only $219!!! Brand new. I'm in LOVE!!!! OMG, it's so powerful and amazing!! Unbelievable suction power on both hard floors and carpet!!! I prefer corded stick vacuums over cordless to maintain constant suction and power and air flow. It's more of a pain for the battery to die mid-cleaning than deal with a cord. But the Stratos corded stick has 30' of cord and goes a longggggg way, so it had a cordless feel to it. I have a Sirena water filtration vacuum that I LOVE for heavy-duty total home cleaning, but the Stratos corded stick is excellent for in-between cleanings. I cleaned just my stairs first with my Stratos and had a dust cup full of pet hair before I even finished my stairs!!!! Like WOW!!! Used the same pet turbo brush with PowerFins that you showed and no hair wrap! The only drawback on the Stratos stick is a very small dirt cup. But it has fully-sealed HEPA filtration. YAY! So I'd definitely get this Stratos lift away upright for sure if I didn't already have my $800 Sirena. Thanks for the review! Stratos looks like the best Shark out there!!!! And right now it's on sale at Shark website for only $299!!!
I've used Shark for few years now and my biggest complaint is the suction hose.. it's short and pulls over the vacuum if you don't old it.
You know you're bored at work when you're watching vacuum videos on TH-cam
Alright now nice vacuum from Shark... Stratos is really good it appears to pickup pet hair or long human hair strands , without bunching up and knotting onto the roller.... This is the most important feature for a vacuum , regretted not getting this roller feature when I purchased our second Shark ..Lightweight Lift-Away model... First one was a Shark Navigator Heavy-Duty this was by far the best vacuum under $200 , only thing was the real heavy weight of the machine although the power roller easily propelled the vacuum forward ! Next the roller was a super heavy duty cleaning machine, with long lasting bristles although long hair was an issue... The Lightweight Lift-Away is a decently light to control vacuum , the filters are tucked out of the way preventing mass dirt build up.... The two major issues are for one the suction hose won't properly stretch out thus resulting in always tipping over...Plus the second major issue the cord always gets run over or caught up in the vacuum , Why is there no automatic cord retrieval / wind-up for staggered lengths 10 feet , 20 feet etc... This missing feature alone is mandatory for my next purchase , plus can't do without the no-hair knotting rollers on a vacuum.... Now just waiting for Walmart's the big special offer on Vacuums to drop for under $300 Dollars ... Yes I'll be running fast and hard to purchase the Shark Stratos !
We’ve owned many Shark vacuums, all have outperformed others. As a Sheltie breeder, dog hair is an issue. My biggest complaint has always been cleaning the roller heads. Your video has sold me on purchasing the new model. Excellent review.
That the problem. You have owned many. That’s the issue with shark. They are disposable. Buy a vacuum you only need one of. One that doesn’t last a year before breaking.
@@goodgremlinmedia2757 Please can you tell me which vacuum cleaner/s you recommend?
Bailey is just an overgrown puppy! And I love her!
Great review 👏 and that's a lot of Bailey hair pac man🤣
Always awesome to see Elle and Bailey.
We miss Daisy 😇
I'm still using the Dyson I bought in 2015 it still works as good as it did new. My only complaint is long hair from 3 women and sewing thread wrap around the beater bar. Dog hair from 3 dogs German Shepherd and 2 Shiba Inu's is no problem. I've vacuumed drywall dust, flour, powdered sugar, saw dust with my Dyson no problem.
Funny that you're doing this product on the final day of Shark Week 🤣
How many filters are there to clean? I have a nice vacuum but after vacuuming I have the bin to empty, two filters to clean and the hair stuck on the roller so I hate using it. It takes me just as long to clean it afterwards as it does to vacuum.
Thanks A lot for this great video.. what do you think of this shark model NZ801UKT is it as good as stratos?
This is the kind of vacuum I would want. I broke a cheap Eureka one years ago because of hair wrap around the roller. I didn't know until that vacuum that hair wrap breakage was a thing. I have quite a bit of hair that falls out when I'm styling and I think this would do the trick. I do also really like the lift away aspect for under low furniture which I do have and my current vacuum doesn't fit under there. Lastly I am intrigued by the filter that supposedly eliminates vacuum odors. My current vacuum started to smell really bad after awhile which is one of the major reasons why I got a new one. I got the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser but haven't been able to test it out yet. The price between that one and the Stratos is a major factor in why I wouldn't buy this one. Seems to be a major upgrade in features though from the Apex. So glad to see Bailey be the star of another video. She looked very happy to donate hair to the vacuum cause.
Ever looked into other vacuum brands? Sebo, Miele, Riccar, Simplicity?
What an amazingly clean house!
I love Shark vacuums! I was given a cordless one and I'll be honest it's been life changing! 🌴✌️🌴
p.s.
Love all your videos! Keep them coming! 💙
The hardest thing to test is how much of the embedded fur does it pull out. Traditionally, it requires a high suction/airflow vacuum with bristles that extend deep into the carpet pile. The best vacuum I have found for this is a Kirby with either the pet brush-roll or the firm brush roll. However, Kirby vacuums are only really practical for carpet. What I mean by that is that they can* clean virtually everything else, but the Kirby has to be converted to use the hose attachments or the hose and hard floor tool for hard floors. Kirbys do not store the hose or any of the tools on-board. However, they are built out of metal - like a tank. They are like those vacuums from decades ago that are built well, are super powerful, and last for decades. I keep one stored in the closet for the occasional once-a-month deep cleaning of the carpet. I use my Miele C3 canister all other times. If I want to use an upright and need to clean more than just the carpet, I typically use the Shark. If I am vacuuming up heavy duty stuff, like debris from a construction job, I use the Kirby.
Thumbnail had Bailey. Instant like and comment.
I love shark vacuums. They have the best technology. I bought the Duoclean NV835 over 4 years ago and honestly sometimes I wish it would break down so I have an excuse to buy one of these new powerfin models.
Mine is excellent at picking up pet hair and human hair but it tangles in the brush roll every time. No matter how much I abuse it though it still works like new.
Best technology? Seriously? What are you basing this one. There’s so many other brands out there that work better and last longer? Sounds like your vacuum knowledge is limited to what you can get at target.
Anyone else notice during the coffee tile thing that the vacuum both picked up the coffee and made the grout cleaner. Now thats impressive.
I bought the ultralight stick version and well, long hair all around the roller. I was super excited reading the no harp wrap roller texts but 🤷♀️.
Maybe for short pet hairs but not for long hair.
After years of watching this is the first product I’m going to buy because within the past three days I’ve been on a hunt for a new vacuum, I’ve just been lazy to do the research so finding it here helps out thanks James
Do not buy this piece of junk
