I really like the second vacuum I had to purchase after the first was found to be used and broken.

The vacuum doesn’t last long and it doesn’t pick up hair. I have had it too long to return but this vacuum has challenged my confidence in the shark brand.

Not great at picking up hair
As someone with long hair and a golden retriever this vacuum doesn’t do a great job or picking up hair. Long hair gets wrapped in the brush and is hard to get out (even with the scissor line to help cut it out. Works great for everyday use on carpets and floors where limited hair is present.

#1 on Price and Quality
As a house keeper I’ve used MANY vacuums. And I love this vacuum! I had this model for many years and it’s one that will last. The previous shark rocket I had lasted over 8 years! Price and suction I feel are hard to beat. It does well on carpet and hard surfaces floors with a light to see and dust or hairs you might miss. The wand can be released with your foot which I love (I’m lazy when it comes to switching attachments if they seem too cumbersome.) All attachments are easy to use and separate my 7 year old can easily handle. My only complaint is if you have a lot of pet hair of a larger space, you may have to dump the vacuum more frequently, which could be irritating for some. The filter is easy to clean and the vacuum is easy to maintain. I always recommend this vacuum to clients with smaller spaces, it doesn’t disappoint.

Do not buy thos vacuum
Garbage vacuum — easily is overloaded and completely broken by outlets and gets stuck on high pile rugs despite having a setting for it. It’s on sale frequently for a reason (and target won’t price match when you try to exchange it after you get yet another defective one!) Please save yourself the stress of this vacuum

Shark vacuum its a big no!!!!
All I can say is that it sucks. It didn’t work for my carpet and it stopped working after a few months! Less than half a year. Bad product… 😡 I certainly don’t recommend it!! It sounds like the motor stopped working! It’s not picking up the dirt or cleaning my carpet.

Great vacuum and price
This Shark Rocket Pet Stick Vacuum works well to clean hardwood floors. It is easy to empty and store the motor on the bottom of the stick. It does not stand up with the motor on the stick, you have to lean it on a wall. My only complaint is it is quite loud.

Worth every penny
I actually purchased this vacuum almost two years ago for a quick clean when needed. I use it on my hardwood floors before my tineco mop and use it more than my Dyson for carpets. It's got great suction, works great on hard floors and carpet, and super lightweight. Almost two years going strong!

For reference, this model weighs approximately 8 pounds. Your comments are valuable to us, and we'll be sure to share your feedback with our internal team as we continue to improve our products and customer experience. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience. Kind Regards, Shark Home

This vac is the truth!
I had a suspicion that my cheap stick vacuum wasn’t cleaning as well as I wanted it too. So I caught this one when it went on sale. I attached a picture but that is all the stuff the vacuum captured in a single pass over the rug. The color is noticeably different and the rug looks better! Additionally the suction was fantastic on the hardwood floors around it. This thing is an absolute beast for the money. Highly recommend.

Shipped Open Item or New?
Expected a product that was sealed by factory. Instead, packaged was opened, closed incorrectly, and tape closed with packaging tape. Going to return and exchange for a new sealed vacuum cleaner.

Loud!
So LOUD! I headache and ringing ears after using it. My Apple Watch kept giving me the loud noise warning every time I turned it on and off. Other than that it does work well just have to wear earplugs I guess.
