Shark IZ862H Stratos Cordless Vacuum

Meet the Shark IZ862H Stratos Cordless Vacuum—a smart-sensing stick vacuum that literally sees dirt you can't. The Clean Sense IQ infrared sensor detects hidden debris and automatically boosts power for up to 50% better pickup, with a visual indicator that shows when floors are truly clean. Shark's HyperVelocity Plus motor delivers their most powerful cordless suction to date, while the DuoClean PowerFins HairPro system uses dual brushrolls to dig deep into carpets and engage hard floors simultaneously. The standout feature here is hair performance—no other Shark cordless picks up hair better, thanks to the self-cleaning brushroll that prevents wrap-up entirely. The MultiFLEX wand bends to reach under furniture or folds for compact, freestanding storage. An LED display provides real-time battery monitoring, suction level selection, and Clean Sense IQ status. The removable battery charges anywhere and delivers up to 60 minutes of runtime in ECO mode, while HEPA filtration with Anti-Allergen Complete Seal captures 99.9% of particles down to 0.3 microns. This vacuum excels in homes with pets, long hair, or mixed flooring where automatic dirt detection saves guesswork. At 8.9 lb, it's heavier than ultra-light models but the weight comes with serious suction power and advanced sensors. The trade-off is clear: you get Shark's most capable cordless technology, but expect shorter runtime in higher power modes and a bit more heft during extended cleaning sessions.
