Our Verdict

Shark Stratos UltraLight HZ3002

Shark Stratos Upright AZ3002

The Shark Stratos Upright AZ3002 and the Shark Stratos UltraLight HZ3002 are part of the same product lineup but have different intended uses. The Upright is a bulkier machine with a higher-capacity dustbin, an additional surface setting, and a suction release switch. It also delivers slightly better performance on carpeted floors. Meanwhile, the UltraLight is a more compact corded stick vacuum that's much easier to maneuver.
