Shark Stratos Upright Vacuum vs Miele Guard L1 Electro Canister Vacuum

Pick the Shark Stratos for whole-home upright cleaning with strong pet-hair pickup, odor control and a self-cleaning brushroll at a lower outlay. Pick the Miele Guard L1 Electro if you have medium-to-high pile carpet and want a motorized powerhead, sealed HEPA filtration and a canister that is easier on stairs and under furniture. The Shark is heavier and corded with one power level; the Miele is lighter, has four suction levels and app control, but some owners dislike its powerhead.

• Choose the Shark Stratos if you want an upright with a self-cleaning brushroll, odor neutralizer and HEPA seal for pet hair across carpets and hard floors.
• Choose the Miele Guard L1 Electro if deep carpet cleaning with a motorized brushroll and a lighter canister for stairs and tight spaces matters more.
