Shark Stratos IZ862H Review: The Versatile Pet-Hair Pick
The Shark Stratos IZ862H is the cordless stick of demanding households: 180 AW, the DuoClean PowerFins dual brush and the Anti Hair Wrap system, for around $330. After weeks of testing, here is our full review.
The DuoClean brush: best of both worlds
The DuoClean PowerFins dual brush combines a rubber roller and a bristle brush: it picks up fine particles on hard floors and agitates carpet fibers, without changing tools. Anti Hair Wrap prevents hair and pet fur from wrapping around the roller — three weeks of testing with a dog, zero wrapped hair.
Power: 180 AW, solid
With 180 AW, the Stratos sits in the upper mid range. It does not match the 310 AW of the Dreame Z30, but the power is well distributed and enough for most homes, carpets included.
Ergonomics: the flex tube
The flex tube lets you reach under low furniture without bending. The handheld conversion is quick. The trade-off: 4 kg, among the heaviest sticks in its segment.
Runtime
The standard removable battery offers 60 minutes claimed — expect 25-35 minutes in real use with the motorized brush. An extra battery is available for large homes.
Verdict
The Shark Stratos IZ862H is the vacuum for pet households with mixed floors: the dual brush adapts to everything, Anti Hair Wrap ends the wrapped-hair nightmare and the flex tube simplifies daily life. Its only real flaw is the weight.
