Shark Rocket Pro DLX Ultra-Lightweight Corded Stick Vacuum HV371BL 8.5" Cleaning Path Blue

A: The Shark Rocket Pro DLX stick vacuums generally use a lighter, more flexible cord, unlike the stiffer, heavier cords seen on some Shark upright models.

A: The cord is quite stiff and over time mine frayed at the where it goes into the housing. The strain relief plug doesn't help. I had to perform surgery to repair it. If you're a rookie don't bother.

A: The HV371BL can deep‑clean carpet, but on very thick or high‑pile carpeting, it may feel harder to push because it doesn’t have adjustable height or suction settings.

A: Yes the dust cup on the Shark Rocket Pro HV371/HV371BL does fully detach from the unit.

A: No, the HV371BL does not have a self‑cleaning or detangling brushroll. It uses a standard bristle brushroll, and no detangling feature.

A: The Shark Rocket Pro DLX does include LED headlights on the main motorized floor nozzle, which are designed to illuminate dust and debris you might otherwise miss. However, the handheld unit itself does not have headlights the lights are located only on the floor nozzle, as is standard across the Shark Rocket series.

A: Yes, the Rocket Pro DLX has a motorized brushroll and it does not include a brushroll‑off switch, so the brushroll cannot be fully disabled; for laminate, we recommend using the hard‑floor setting for gentler cleaning.

A: Yes, the Shark Rocket HV371BL can hang flat on the wall for convenient storage. Please note that the wall‑mount hook is not included in the box and must be purchased separately if you’d like to store the vacuum on the wall.

A: Yes, the HV371BL model can stand on its own without support.

A: Yes, the Shark HV371BL is designed for easy maneuvering near walls and tight spaces, and its crevice tool helps pick up dust and dirt along edges and around kitchen appliances.

A: The Shark Rocket HV371BL operates at 500 watts and has a cleaning path width of 14.57 inches.
