I love it!
I googled a pet vacuum for days and this one popped up. I love it. Very easy to use and the suction is awesome. I used Bissell before this purchase. Definitely a shark fan now.

The vacuum didn’t come with the wall mount hook. Only came with A C and J parts. Everything else is missing

Do Not Buy
Purchased two of these. Worked great the first time but neither would extract for the second use. Left carpet wet and saturated with solution. Had to get carpet professionally cleaned but still left ugly brown stains that will not come out.

Hello Steven, Thank you for sharing your review. We're sorry to hear that both Shark Rocket vacuums stopped extracting after the initial use, leaving your carpets wet and saturated with solution. We understand how frustrating it must have been to arrange professional carpet cleaning and still be left with stains. Please note that this vacuum is designed for picking up dry debris only. and should not be used to extract liquids or clean wet carpets, as doing so may damage the vacuum and pose a safety risk. If you do have any further questions or concerns, you can contact us at 1-855-427-5127. We're available Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Kind regards, Shark Home

Not worth the money
This vacuum is not worth the money, especially if it is not on sale. The only thing it is good for is for getting under couches, beds, etc. as it goes flat. Otherwise the suction power is sub par if you are using it as your main vacuum. We only have hardwoods and rugs and it’s not even good for that.

Hello Julie, Thank you for sharing your review. We're disappointed to hear that the Shark Rocket Pet Vacuum didn't provide the suction performance you were expecting. We understand your frustration, especially given the price, and appreciate your feedback regarding its effectiveness on hardwood floors and rugs, as well as its ability to reach under furniture. We'd like the opportunity to complete troubleshooting and ensure the vacuum is performing as it should, and we encourage you to contact us at 1-855-427-5127. We're available Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Kind regards, Shark Home

False Advertising
Thie item I received was not the one I ordered. Also, the box was all taped up. I went ahead and returned it. It was an older model.

Was better when we first got it
When we first Got this vacuum it was 5 stars. It sucked up so much dirt and dust as well as dog hair from our carpets. I love the attachments to get into the couch or hard to reach places. However over time, this vacuum has lost its suck and hardly picks up anything at all. And very top heavy which sometimes makes cleaning cumbersome!

Hi Alexa, Thanks for taking time to leave your review. We're disappointed to hear that the suction performance has reduced over time, and we understand how disappointing that can be after such a positive experience when you first purchased your Shark Rocket Vacuum. Over time, some reduction in suction can occur through normal wear and tear, but regularly emptying the dust cup, cleaning the filters, and checking the hose, wand, and floorhead for blockages can help maintain performance and maximise suction. If your vacuum reaches a point where it is no longer picking up debris at all, please reach out to our team via the link below, and we'll be happy to help troubleshoot further. https://support.sharkninja.com/contact-us Kind Regards, Shark Home

Quality vacuum
The suction is strong enough to pick up pet hair, dust, and crumbs in one pass, even on area rugs. It transitions smoothly between hard floors and carpet, which makes cleaning the whole house much easier. I also like that it's easy to maneuver around furniture and the dust bin is simple to empty without making a mess. The attachments are useful for cleaning corners, stairs, and upholstery, and the vacuum feels sturdy without being overly heavy.

Heavier than I was expecting and the lid falls in the trash when you empty the canister. It’s a little tricky to get it back on. Does have good suction!

Great Buy!
Love this vacuum. Our first Shark lasted 8 years so we knew we had to go with the same brand! Great vacuum and picks up dirt in all of the little places.

Love this little vaccuum! Apartment friendly.
My husband and I picked this up when 50% off (on sale for $109), and we have been using a $30 cheapo one for our apartment prior. Super worth it! We picked this up as a post-wedding upgrade to our life. It's been a lifesaver for our needs; we have two pets, a shedding plush-furred cat and a short haired greyhound who rarely sheds, in a small two-floor apartment with only flat-woven rugs. That is, the scale and low-requirements of our lifestyle made this vaccuum so so easy to use. Suction is strong, swivel and weight are good/functional, the long cord means one plug per floor. Accessories are helpful (especially inside the couch or in cracks/crevices). If you had a constantly-shedding husky or a big house, I would maybe reconsider, but this is the perfect vaccuum for our needs. Highly recommend!

It’s a really nice vacuum! Top is heavy but overall does come with attachments and good for my apartment, after a year in a half of having it it started to spit the trash back out and not suction anything up but I simply called shark and it took them 10 mins to send mr a brand new one! I spent $10 on shipping!

Easy Vaccum
This vaccum has a strong suction and can be used for both carpet and hard floors. It is not too loud and maneuvers on all floor types very easily. The canister is easy to dump. This vacuum has a critical impact to the cleanliness of my home. My only two cons are that I wish it was cordless allowing me to do both floors without moving different plugs and the vacuum is a little top-heavy. Otherwise, great vaccum!
