Shark Stratos Pet Pro Anti Hair Wrap Plus Anti-Odour XL Upright Vacuum [] in Navy Blue

If you share your home with pets that shed, the real problem isn't just hair on carpets — it's hair wrapping around the brush roll mid-clean and forcing you to stop, scissors in hand, to cut it free. The Shark Stratos Pet Pro addresses this directly with its Anti Hair Wrap Plus technology, which actively removes hair from the brush roll as it works, combined with an XL-capacity bin and a wider floorhead that covers more ground per pass. For households where vacuuming is a frequent necessity rather than a weekly ritual, the reduced interruptions matter more than any headline specification.

Who Is This For?

This is aimed squarely at multi-pet households, larger homes with a mix of hard floors and carpets, and anyone who has worn out cheaper vacuums through heavy use. The XL bin means fewer trips to empty mid-session, and the anti-odour filtration is a genuine consideration if pet smells have ever lingered after cleaning. If you live alone in a flat with no pets and mostly hard floors, a lighter cordless model — see our best cordless vacuum deals — will likely suit you better for a lower outlay.

What Buyers Say

Owners of the Stratos range consistently praise the hair removal performance as genuinely delivering on its promise, with long human hair and dense pet fur both handled without the brush roll jamming. The wider floorhead draws particular approval from those cleaning open-plan spaces. The most common gripe is the weight — this is a full-size upright, and carrying it up stairs repeatedly does become noticeable. Some users also find the bin release mechanism slightly fiddly to clean thoroughly.

The Deal

Currently priced at £249.99, reduced from £349.99, the saving is £100 — roughly 29% off. This product is newly tracked on our system, so we cannot confirm whether £349.99 is a reliable long-term regular price or a reference figure; worth bearing in mind before treating urgency as a factor. For more context on where this sits in the wider Shark range, our best Shark deals guide covers current alternatives. At £249.99 it's competitive for a full-size upright with this feature set — but watch it a little longer before committing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, this model includes Shark's anti-odour technology, which uses activated carbon filtration to neutralise pet smells rather than simply trapping them in the bin. The 'XL' designation refers to a larger dustbin capacity compared to the standard Stratos Pet Pro, meaning fewer emptying interruptions during longer cleaning sessions — particularly useful in multi-pet or larger homes.

This vacuum is well-suited to households with one or more pets that shed heavily, particularly on carpets and upholstery, as the anti hair wrap brushroll handles tangled fur without requiring manual cutting. However, at around 7–8kg for upright models in this range, it may feel cumbersome for users who need to carry it between floors frequently, and the upright form factor makes it less manoeuvrable under very low furniture compared to a cylinder or stick alternative.

This product has only just been tracked, so there is no price history available to confirm whether £249.99 represents the lowest this model has sold for or whether the 'was £349.99' figure reflects a consistent previous price. It is worth checking whether that original price was sustained for a meaningful period before the discount, as some vacuum retailers inflate pre-sale prices — using a price tracker like CamelCamelCamel or checking Shark's own site history can help verify this.

The Dyson Ball Animal 3 Extra typically retails around £249–£299 and offers strong suction with Dyson's self-adjusting cleaner head, but it lacks dedicated anti-odour filtration — a meaningful difference if pet smells are a priority for you. The Shark's anti hair wrap technology also tends to require less maintenance than Dyson's brushroll in households with long-haired pets or human hair, making it the more practical choice for those specific pain points despite Dyson's stronger brand recognition.
