Our Verdict
Shark Stratos Cordless IZ862H
Shark PowerDetect Cordless IP1251
The Shark Stratos Cordless IZ862H and the Shark PowerDetect Cordless IP1251 trade blows in terms of strengths. The Stratos has a higher-capacity dustbin that's easier to empty manually, and it loses less suction to its floorhead, allowing it to clear away debris more easily in cracks and crevices. Meanwhile, the PowerDetect is compatible with a self-empty station, which can take some of the sting out of daily maintenance for an additional cost. The PowerDetect is also more maneuverable when used as a handheld vacuum.
