Shark Rocket Corded Bagless Stick Vacuum for Carpet and Hard Floor Cleaning with Swivel Steering (HV302), Gray/Orange

After recently installing new hard floors throughout most of our home, I was searching for a lightweight vacuum that would clean both the hard floors and area rugs. I never thought that I would ever say that I now enjoying vacuuming, but this Shark Rocket Ultra-Light stick vac has been a real changer. It has great suction and the swivel head makes it so easy to go under furniture, around and through dining table/chair legs and along baseboards. This is the first vac that gets squarely into the corners under the kitchen cabinets. The vac is super simple to assemble is less than a minute, to empty the dirt cup, put on attachments to sweep air duct grilles, refrigerator grilles, ceiling corners or wherever. It is also so lightweight that it is no big deal to carry up and down stairs for multi-level cleaning. In fact, our basement is finished and has carpeted floors, and this little gem thoroughly sweeps the carpet. I love this vac so much that I just gave one to my daughter as a birthday gift. Be sure to order some extra filters to have on hand when you clean the one that comes with the unit. That way, you'll be able to vac when you need to without having to wait for the filter to dry. The only cons for this unit is that with the location of the unit's cord, you have to drag that around with you to empty the dirt cup and that it is top heavy and doesn't stand on it's own. However, those are negligible given the suction, maneuverability and lightweight design. Highly, highly recommend!

I did a lot of research before buying this vacuum and I’m very glad to say it has lived up to expectations. The suction on this is incredible and I find it very easy to use to get dust on baseboards and furniture. I’ve vacuumed so much more since I’ve gotten this. The storage cup is small so you will have to empty it regularly, but I don’t mind as I usually have a trash can near by to do that. I live in a condo so I’m also not covering a lot of space. I will agree with other reviewers and say it is heavy on the wrist, which might be too much for some. I work a physical job though and am a young mom so it only took me a few days to get use to and now I barely notice or care. The biggest selling feature to me is the fact that it stands to store. I didn’t want to have to mount a vacuum on one of my walls and so that more than anything sold me on this model. The second suction level does an incredible job on my rugs and with two cats and two kids that’s a big plus too. For anyone worried about cord length, I can reach my from the front entrance of my condo all the way to the back of the living room (+35ft) with ease from a single plug in the middle. So unless you have a huge house or a closed off layout you should be able to do at least 2-3 rooms. Over all if you’re comfortable handling the weight of it I would 100% recommend this vacuum.

Melhor que já conheci...muito funcional.

Nos gusta mucho la astpiradora, funciona muy bien con los pelos de gato, ya que tenemos dos gatos de pelo largo. Lo uso mucho en los muebles y en todo lo que tenga pelos y funciona muy bien. El aditamento que lo hace ser muy largo es muy útil también para limpiar telarañas y ventiladores de techo (al menos por encima). El contenedor de basura es fácil de descargar y algo que me encanta es que los filtros sólo los lavas una vez al mes... no como la aspiradora anterior que tenía que lavarlo cada vez que se llenaba. Lo único que a mi esposa no le gustó es que es un poco pesada para ella, le cuesta un poco moverla cuando está en modo aspiradora de piso, pero es por el cepillo. Si le quitas la parte de abajo no es tan pesada. Igual la recomiendo, ya que queríamos una aspiradora con potencia y que pudiera lidear con pelos de mascotas y funcionó muy bien.

For decades I have had a wall vacuum unit and I thought it was just okay. Recently the brush head broke and I came onto Amazon to price a replacement. Over a hundred dollars just for the brush head unit! Since I was never in love with the system I started pricing Dysons...all but the cheapest unit was out of my price range and I wasn't overly impressed with the reviews. So I headed over to the Shark reviews, looked at the various units and found I could get a nice unit for about $50 more than the replacement part for my wall system. Easy to assemble in a minute or so, easy to understand how to use...nice accessories. Since I was in the kitchen when I was putting it together, I decided to try it out first on an area rug my dog lays on (he's a short haired breed). The rug was about 2x4 no big area here...to say I was impressed was an understatement...I was shocked at the amount of dust and hair the unit picked up effortlessly...actually it was kinda creepy to know all that dirt was in that little rug, it filled the cup about halfway! I put on the floor dusting attachment and finished the kitchen, the cup is now full. Easy enough to empty the cup, I didn't understand all the whining about this feature in the reviews. Moved onto the dining room, nearly filled the cup again in just that room and it had been recently vacuumed. Moved onto the living room and got about 75% of it done before I had to find a new outlet, I was plugged into the kitchen and I have a big house over 2000 square feet! Filled the cup again and...maybe it was my imagination but my bare feet on the carpet felt cleaner. Easy to maneuver, you don't have to push it, it self propels forward saving a lot of backache. The other attachments were pretty much what you get with all other units with the exception of the mini ones that can clean you keyboard...I think it might suck up my laptop it's so powerful, I haven't used it yet so I can't comment. Used it some more the next day on more floors and bedroom carpets and was shocked at the amount of dust and hair in the cup. Now I will qualify my statements by saying I have never owned a Dyson, I've never even used one so I can't compare the two. For the difference in price, there is nothing that the Dyson could offer me that I would want or need that the Shark doesn't already give me. I will also add that I was shocked how light the unit was, with all the "bones" up high by your handle, I thought reaching high with the attachments to get cobwebs off the ceiling would strain my wrist...nope, it was effortless. My ceilings are really high, 20 feet in some areas and I was able to get to all but the highest points and those areas I could get with a small step stool. As far as how long the unit will last...for the price if it only lasts until the 5 year warranty runs out I will be happy, I've spent a whole lot more on units that only had a fraction of the cleaning power that this baby holds. I feel I got a really great value for the price. That you can't stand it up on it's own is a minor hassle I can deal with. I recommend this unit highly!
