The Shark Stratos Anti Hair Wrap Plus Pet Pro Cordless Vacuum is now on offer for £298
Shark has launched its Spring Clean Sale, slashing over £150 off the Stratos cordless vacuum cleaner. The Shark Stratos Anti Hair Wrap Plus Pet Pro Cordless Vacuum is now down to £298, a saving of £151.99 from the original price of £449.99.
The Stratos is also available without the Pet Pro feature on Amazon, where it’s currently priced at £249. The vacuum cleaner is praised for having Shark’s ‘best ever hair pick-up’ on both carpet and hard floors due to the brand’s anti-hair wrap plus technology that removes long and short hair from the brush-roll as it cleans.
The Pet Pro model also includes Shark’s motorised pet tool designed to remove embedded hair from upholstery, making it the perfect gadget for pet owners.

The Stratos also features LED headlights and Shark’s Clean Sense IQ function, which detects hard-to-see dirt and automatically adjusts its cleaning power, resulting in up to 50% more dirt pick-up, according to the brand.
The ‘Flexology’ wand feature of this vacuum cleaner allows it to bend under furniture and fold down for easy storage – it can also transform into a handheld device.
Along with the vacuum cleaner, customers will receive two detachable batteries each providing up to 60 minutes of runtime, as well as accessories such as a crevice tool, anti-allergen brush and multi-surface tool.
The Shark Stratos Cordless Vacuum Cleaner has earned a solid 4.5-star rating after more than 600 reviews. This beats the 4.4-rated Dyson V8 Advanced, which is now £100 off at £229.99 and is said to be the brand’s ‘most powerful’ V8 model, reports the Express.
This vacuum can also remove hair from its brush roll but comes with a shorter 40-minute runtime. Amazon offers a more affordable option with the £129.99 Smoture Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, has earned a 4.8-star rating and has a 55-minute runtime, but doesn’t include a specially designed pet tool.
One shopper said: “I needed something that would effectively renew my carpets and get rid of the cat hair that my vacuum seemed to struggle with and I can honestly say I am so impressed. I always thought Dyson was the hands-down winner of [vacuums] but this absolutely tops them all. My carpets look amazing like they are new again, and the smell that comes from the anti-odour compartment is amazing. It makes housework much more satisfying and having two batteries with a charger pack means I’m never without charge.”
One pet owner gushed with joy: “Mind blown. I have three cats and two Labradors. With [my] Henry, I found myself going over and over one spot to get the hair up, and even then it wouldn’t. First stroke [with the Shark] it picks up every hair on my carpet. I was amazed. The suction is out of this world, I cannot believe it. I never thought I would rid my house of pet hair. If you have pets or problems with pet hair, look no further.”
Another satisfied customer couldn’t hold back their excitement: “An excellent vacuum cleaner, the suction and cleaning job work brilliantly. Anti hair wrap is a dream with a 24/7 shedding dog. I love the lights on the front. Batteries charge pretty quickly, I can do the whole bungalow on one battery so far. It folds away almost out of sight when done too.”
Alas, that same contented user did have a small gripe, pointing out: “The fact it doesn’t stand on its own and you have to take the wand off to empty the bucket which fills up delightfully quickly with more dust and dirt than you knew you had.”
