Shark HV322 Rocket Deluxe Pro Corded Stick Vacuum with LED Headlights, XL Dust Cup, Lightweight, Perfect for Pet Hair Pickup, Converts to a Hand Vacuum, with Pet Attachments, Bordeaux/Silver

It’s lightweight and the swivel lets you get into tight spots. However- 2things: 1. It won’t stand on its own. To park it for a minute, you have to click it into upright position(easy) then prop it against a wall on its rubber thingys to keep it from rolling off. 2. Note the height of it. A 5’1 friend wanted to test it out & the long nozzle in the upright position was way to long for her height. I’m 5’7 so it was no issue for me.

Replaced an older Dyson that finally quit. Unbelievable how much pet hair and other debris this pulled out comparatively. Knap on the carpet looks better than it has in years. Super light weight and easily goes under furniture and beds.

I bought this as a replacement for an aging canister vac. The fundamental design concept of this Shark vacuum is a good one, but the practical details need some work. First the good. The motor, filters, dust collector, and switch are all incorporated in a compact unit in the top, handle part of this vacuum. In most applications the handle unit will be supported by the extension tube and an accessory resting on the floor, so it is not too heavy. The dust collector has a pretty good capacity and will likely get through an average-size house before it needs emptying. The collector itself is well-designed. It can be emptied while still in the handle unit if you happen to be near a trash can, or it can be removed from the unit for easy transport to a trash can. The dirt comes out easily, with no need for shaking and banging and thereby raising big clouds of dust. The cord is long, which allows for a good range without switching outlets. On the other hand, the cord is long, which can cause some inconvenience with wrangling and tangling. It winds up on two holders, and a neat design feature allows you to swing one of the holders down to remove the whole cord without unwinding it one coil at a time. Power and suction seem pretty good, and the LED lights are surprisingly bright and useful. The turning/swivel mechanism works well. And now for the nitpicking. The business end of a vacuum is where the suction meets the dirt, and it is here where the HV322 could use some refinement. I have mostly hardwood floors, so I figured the Dust-Away hard floor attachment would be my most-used accessory. It is like a combination of a Swiffer and a typical floor brush. However, it has two little plastic wheels on it that rub along the floor, making noise and feeling like they are scraping the floor. In addition, it is about three times bigger than a standard canister floor brush, making it harder to move and to get in all the nooks and crannies. Finally, after using it I feel like I have to take it off and vacuum off the dust that accumulates on the microfiber pad. The motorized carpet attachment seems to work pretty well, with a two-speed brush for low or deep pile carpet. It can also be used on hard floors, but with pretty much the same caveats about size and noise. There is a combination crevice tool/dust brush, which seems like a clever idea but in practice is not so good. The catch that lets the dust brush move keeps pinching me, it is too long overall for easy dusting, and it has cheap flimsy plastic bristles. There is also a motorized pet brush that works pretty well. I dont have dogs or much upholstery, but it did a good job in my car, with a swivel that lets the brush adjust to the surface. I thought I could fix the shortcomings by buying a floor brush and dusting brush. But, it turns out the tube diameters used on the Shark Rocket are not the standard 1 1/4 used by most other brands. With much measuring and analyzing of specs, I finally found an adapter

Disliked the way it would not stand on its own. It has great power but drives me crazy falling iver!!!

Let me start off by saying I NEVER write reviews. Its a game changer for tackling house hold chores. This vacuum is amazing all the way around from suction, light weight easy to use the list goes on. I wanted a vacuum that was light weight to be able to easily grab and go. Its sleek so storing it is easy since I have limited closet space. Weight wise its light even my 5 yr old can pick it up and use it. The suction power is amazing. My carpets hasnt looked this good in yrs i feel (and im an avid cleaner when it comes to my floors even shampooing my carpets every 3 to 4 mths). I use this vacuum daily now, vacuuming is my new favorite cleaning chore with this product. Clean and dumping the dust and debris from the storage tank is easy too. No more having to reach in with my hand to help all the dust and debris to fall out. The attachments are great that come with it. It makes it super easy to clean my register vents, to under stove, behind fridge etc and again light weight so it makes it really easy to lift up and vacuum out my register a.c vents that are located on my ceilings. I favorited this vacuum in my wish list for about 2 weeks going back and forth contemplating should I buy it... Im so glad I did!!! Best money Ive spent on cleaning supplies/equipment.

We waited a whole year to write our review to see if this Shark really is what they say. After a year it is still a wonderful vacuum and if you empty it and clean the filters when you are supposed to I think it will last a long time. My neighbor has a similar style Shark she said for four years now and she still likes it and approves of it. Take care of it and it will work good and last a good while. Thank you.

Our old shark broke and couldnt be fixed we were without a decent vacuum for 3 weeks one I got it I immediately used it was so satisfying watching it clean my carpet and get the dog hair up its lightweight witch my girl loves and it has lights witch I love and attachments work great too would definitely suggest to anyone

I love this sweeper, it has great suction that gets up dog hair easily. Light weight with lots of power. I recommend this item.

We upgraded after the previpus version but the dust. This vacuum has lights so you can see any dirt that natural light misses. The only thing I don’t like is that the cord is much shorter than the previous model.

The low, small, swivel head easily gets into and around and vacuums places my prior vacuums couldnt even get to. I vacuum about 5:30am and I turn on lights only when I have to. The light on the head takes care of that. No doubt the hand vac works great but I have not used it that way yet. Bad parts...it will not free stand with the motor attached and the cord is too short.
