Shark Rocket Ultra-Light Corded Bagless Vacuum for Carpet and Hard Floor Cleaning with Swivel Steering (HV301), Gray/Orange

Happy Jaws 50th- great day to write a review for another Shark product that comes through!Was looking for a small handheld vac, and don’t want to spend big $$$. I have a Shark robot that does a great job, so I thought I’d give this a try since I really only needed something for a small patch of upstairs carpet and some hardwood stairs.Backstory- I got the “Wirecutter Recommended” $$$ one as a gift at my last place and it was ABS GARBAGE…the intake tube was tiny and the filter was poorly placed. Design flaw? Yes. It clogged in 30 sec and you spend 5 min unclogging with a wire hanger, before vacuuming for 30 sec then unclogging for 3 min and…you get it.Very happy with the Shark. Big tube, pretty big and well designed intake- you can actually vacuum a bit before you have to stop and clean. And a small container is the price you pay for portability.I don’t mind the cord, either- I don’t go far and it means: cheaper…and it doesn’t die.Good job Shark 🦈

Easy to assemble- intuitive- couple pieces easily snap together. Nice long cord. Light weight and easy to handle. I have a very thick area rug and other vacuum did not glide on it and would stick in place. This one glides beautifully & picked up very well. Emptying canister is easy, and bc it’s small you just empty it after each use. I used it on hardwood floor, then swept the floor to see how much it missed- which was very little. The suctions is strong. Gets close to walls and under bed. It does not stand on its own, but I leaned it against wall in closet with no issues. It also has place on back to hang from hook. I lovenit and recommend it.

Finally! I've finally come to my senses and given up on the cordless vacuum. I've had 3... they always start out being incredible and ultimately the lithium batteries just don't hold up. So, I saw this little baby shark and thought I'd give it a try. I needed something light weight because of my shoulder injuries related to caring for my mom, but I also needed to be powerful. And that's exactly what this turned out to be. This shark has a real bite. I filled and emptied the container several times but that's because the crappy cordless vacuum is had kept dying so I hadn't really had a good vacuum. Until now.... love love love it.....

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Needed a new vacuum and wanted one with a detachable head unit. Chose this for the compromise of price and advertised effectiveness. I love the detachable head, perfect for the couch, window sills, etc. The overall suction power I would say is ok. I have one short haired dog and this probably gets about 90% of the fur, which is fine. Might not be great for multiple or long haired pets though.

I'm very happy with this Shark so far. I wanted to find a vacuum that would vacuum at a 180* angle to get under my furniture. This one does just that. I was surprise how maneuverable it was, which makes this chore much easier. So much different than an old upright. It has really good suction and cleaning power and I love how the wand detaches. It is top heavy and can't stand by itself, but you can remove the canister or lean it against something, so that isn't an issue for me. I want to buy one for my mom and sister.

Everything I was looking for in a compact vacuum! I have a kitty living with me and have been lint-rolling everything to remove fur... this bad boy makes all of my upholstry look brand new! I suggest pairing it with Ms. Myers Pet Spray, everything is fresh and super clean! The corded power is so much better than the corded ones and the cord is long enough that I can strategically plug it in and access my apartment from just two places. It is super powerful and while not large in capacity, I prefer that as it keeps me cleaning it more regularly. The capacity was my main concern when deciding between this price point of vacuum so I have to mention that I have no regrets getting the smaller one! It was super easy to empty and to switch between the full vacuum and the handheld upholstery brush features. It is a little heavier than I expected after using my cordless candy, but I think that comes from the quality of materials Shark uses to build its products. I am a DIE HARD Shark fan!

I have two black labs who shed a ton. I needed a new vacuum and came across this one. I have all hardwood floors and after one use, you can see all of the hair, dander and dust this picked up.It was very easy to put together. however, my only complaint is the top is a slightly heavier due to the design and you can’t stand it up without it falling over. when I put it away in the closet i just remove the top part and set it aside so it doesn’t fall/topple over.overall, it’s great. I love the attachments it comes with as well. i’m excited to see how it works on my tv stand with the dusting attachment it comes with.
