The vacuum offers impressive suction power and is lightweight, making it easy to maneuver across various surfaces, including carpets and hardwood floors. Guests appreciate its ease of use and the convenience of attachments for cleaning tight spaces. However, some have experienced issues with durability and performance over time, particularly with pet hair. Overall, it is a solid choice for quick cleanups and everyday use, especially in smaller living spaces.

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!

The vacuuming is top heavy and it constantly spits the trash back out I don’t care how many times I empty it

Hello there, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on the Shark Rocket. We understand how frustrating it must be when the vacuum feels top-heavy and debris is being pushed back out during use, even after emptying the dust cup, we surely understand how frustrating this must be for you. In some cases, this can be caused by a clog in the floor nozzle or another part of the airflow pathway, which can affect the vacuum's performance. We'd love the opportunity to help troubleshoot this with you. Please give us a call at 1-855-427-5127, where one of our product specialists will be happy to assist you and help identify the cause of the issue.

Holiday sale scam. Lost suction after 6 months. Cleaned everything and reassembled, but no better. Others on here say the same thing. And Shark charges you to fix it.

Defective vacuum
I bought this for $146 I believe it was partially on sell or with taxes it came to that but my vacuum broke within a few months, I couldn’t find my receipt, I took it back to the store and pulled up my debit card that had the Target purchase on there but it didn’t show what it exactly was for so the customer service guy wouldn’t allow me to exchange it for another one. Highly upset because I bought that vacuum to replace my broken vacuum just for this vacuum to stop working within months. The motor is messed up, smells like it’s burning, makes funny noise. Very disappointed to spend so much on 3 months of use.

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.
