#SPACE SAVER BAGS LARGE PLUS#

I tested the Stratos after hosting my three kid nephews for dinner, and we laughed that it works as a messy-eater detector when you run it under each dining chair. This feature, called Clean Sense IQ in the Stratos, visually shows you when debris is detected and when it’s clean. In addition to its contortionist capabilities, the Shark Stratos, like the Dyson Gen5detect, automatically boosts its suction power when it comes across bigger messes.

Plus the whole thing folds in half for super-compact storage - it’s seriously amazing how small it becomes.” Ceramicist Liz Burns says, “It’s a dream to slide my Shark Stratos under my pottery wheel and beneath nearby shelves to pick up dust and debris with ease. Ultimately, the Dyson snagged the top spot for its run time, but the Shark has some major tricks up its cordless sleeve and is less than half the price.įor one, the stick bends at a right angle so you can slide the whole vacuum under tables, couches, and beds.

One pass beneath my writing desk yielded 108 million microscopic crumbs - an impressive amount of WFH bagel bits. When I tested a Gen5 myself (I got my hands on a Gen5outsize, which has double the run time and a dustbin that’s over twice as large as the Gen5detect), what blew me away was the vacuum’s built-in LCD screen that gives you a satisfyingly grotesque count of how many particles it nabs from your floors. “It also has multiple cleaning heads that can be swapped in, and the filter is washable, so there’s less waste.” “It’s superlight and gets all kinds of dusty bits,” she says.

That’s likely why Toni Roberts, the executive pastry chef at the Ritz-Carlton, Chicago, loves using her Gen5detect in the kitchen. “It illuminates invisible dust and hair on my floors, so I can be sure I’m sucking up as much filth as possible.” Ranager also raves about how it converts to a handheld vacuum, which is ideal for countertop spills. In addition to its 70-minute run time, she’s a fan of its dust-illuminating technology that has twice the power of previous versions. Emily Ranager, director of business operations at Shelfie, an NYC-based organizing service, is “obsessed” with her Gen5detect and says it’s a favorite of many in her circle.
