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. :)

Bless Baileys heart! She’s a good girl who’s always willing to help. Golden retriever pac man😂😂😂😂😂😂

We need more vacuum reviews if it gets us more Bailey screen time.

I hope Bailey was rewarded with her favorite treat for donating fur for the video.😂

Without Bailey, this video wouldn't be possible . Thanks Bailey !!!!!

Bailey is too cute ... James, watching you vacuum up everything especially Bailey's hair was so satisfying ... We all value your reviews, thank you .

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.

As usual, a detailed and informative review…AND Bailey (nice to see Elle too). What more can we ask for? Thanks James !!

What a way to end Shark Week with a Shark vacuum, way to go James...and you too Bailey!

Also really good to see Bailey and Elle. Glad they both still seem to be doing ok 😁👍

Big fan of the vacuum cam 😂

James smelling the vacuum was amusing. As always, thanks for the video my dude

love loves ur vids.you always give them a real world breakdown&tell the pros&cons&all.

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...

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.

This is one of the best vacuum reviews I have ever seen! Great job

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!

One of the very best reviews I have seen great video like always 😁

Love This! Best video in a while, great job James

I know I should root for a vacuum to work but I find myself rooting for Bailey every time. 😆😻

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

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

I wish you had a live channel where you just reviewed stuff 24/7 lol. LOVE Freakin Reviews

Awesome review. This sold me on the Stratos. Thank you

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.

Great review, and just what I needed with our dog, especially since it compared this unit with the Apex which I also have.

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.

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!!

Love your reviews bro and your son looks just like you loved the last c cream review y’all did

Can you test some of the Miele vacuums. Bagged vacuums are always much more powerful than none bagged.

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. 😳

thanks, James. awesome review

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 will always have a shark vac. Had one since they first came out and never changed. Love it

Thanks for your great review. I just ordered mine.

Thank you for the thorough review. I'm ordering Shark AZ3002 Stratos now :--))

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).

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

Great review, thank you 👍

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!

Great review!! Ty

Bailey is just an overgrown puppy! And I love her!

BAILEY! Yes! This ought to be good - the Goldie against a shark.

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

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!!

Not only a great review but a great video! Love how Bailey participated and donated and sacrificed her hair!🤪✌️

Thank you for your video. Very informative. Keep up the good work. 🍀🙏🦋

COMICAL! Both babies following you as you were using it on the bare floor!

I would love to see you do a review on the all new LG CordZero All in One Auto Empty Cordless Stick Vacuum.

Thumbnail had Bailey. Instant like and comment.

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.

Always awesome to see Elle and Bailey. We miss Daisy 😇

Love the power button on the handle .

I came for your doggo. I love her guest appearances!

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

I think that was the cutest review you've ever done!

Thanks A lot for this great video.. what do you think of this shark model NZ801UKT is it as good as stratos?

Great Job Baily. Great video and awesome vacuum.

I think it’s adorable the dogs were following you while vacuuming

I just received my order after seeing your review... hoping I like it!!

Thank you!

Thanks for the Bailey and Elle video oh and the vacuum review 😁

What an amazingly clean house!

Thanks for showing us the vacuum and Bailey. Bailey is always a win.

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.

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! 🥰🥰

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 😁

I love when you have your dog in the video!

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.

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.

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

Looks really nice. And I love the under appliance/bed feature. I sure would hate to give up the Kirby though. :-/

Jacksonville resident here, I am appreciating the shirt 👍

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! 💙

Great review 👏 and that's a lot of Bailey hair pac man🤣

good thorough review as usual james but i will be more interested to see how well its performing in a years time. These things are usually great out of the box but over time can wear and lose suction etc, so should be relevant in another year.Were there any removable filters to clean as in my current shark vacuum ( unless i missed that part lol ) cheers

It would be interesting to see the Stratos vs long human hair. All of the vacuums I’ve used get hair around the roller like the older Apex vacuum first use.

Love your golden!

I do love my old shark rotator professional lift away, it is a great vacuum

Does the HEPA system replace the 2stage spong and pad filter the Apex has? Our Apex is on its last leg and it's only 5-6 years old (forgot exactly when we bought it). I've troubleshot it to the dust bypassing the filters and ruining the motor bearings which causes it to run hot and then trips off. We've been pretty good at cleaning the filters but apparently not good enough. So hopefully the HEPA system fixes that.

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 !

Cool. Ty

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 !!!!!

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.

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!!!

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 saw Bailey in the preview and knew this would be a fun vid. Also you ever check out the prog band Strawberry Girls?

Hello 👋 from Harrisburg Pennsylvania I own a Shark vertex should I upgrade to this new version or keep my old shark vertex ? ? 🤷🏾‍♂️

I really like Shark vacuums but my one main gripe has always been the super high clearance of the canister part so it's hard to get under tables/beds despite the low profile of the front.... so that powered lift away feature is awesome. This might be my next vacuum.

I would be curious to see how well it handles long hair. Something I've e always struggled to remove from vacuums.

Love your senior dogs sweet 🐕🐶

I have the Shark Pet Advantage I bought from them about 7 years ago. They sent a new head assembly for free 3 years ago when the brush wore out. I love it, but with a dog and 2 cats, I gotta clean the brush very often. How does this one do on thinner indpor door entry mats. We have a few and if suction it too much, I would fear it would cause issues.

Hey could you please review the ruggable. Looks like a good idea but has a steep price!
