Greater than one weekI like this vacuum a lot. Suction on carpet, tile, and wood with no residue. Light weight and long cord make life easier going around the house up and Down stairs. Would buy this product again!

> 3 dayUPDATE: I received this vacuum on 1/21/22 and used it for the first time tonight (1/28/22). AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL! I attempted to use it for my 10x12 dining room wood laminate floor. Epic fail. This thing has no strong power. I used both the bare floor setting and the carpet setting - neither impressed me. After all of the positive reviews, I had such high expectations. What a letdown. I had to make multiple passes over all areas of the floor and still had to use another vacuum to get the job done. It’s only been a week since I vacuumed my floor so, it wasn’t so dirty that I should’ve had to make multiple passes with this hunk a junk or have to use a second vacuum to take care of a simple bare floor. I’m just disappointed. I’m very happy that so many buyers love it. I did not and I own other Shark products. I already started the return process. The vacuum is packaged just as it was when I received it. As soon as our snowstorm passes, I’ll be anxiously returning this Shark. I’m coming to the conclusion that new Shark products are high priced and low quality. I will not purchase any other Shark products in the future. My search begins - again - for a new vacuum for my hard floors. Shark, you’ve lost a customer. Note: I have NOT used the vacuum yet. I just returned a different corded stick vacuum that I purchased because I wasn’t pleased with it and decided it to “stick with what I know” (I own other Shark vacuums), spend the extra money and purchase a Shark corded vacuum. I don’t care about cordless features because I don’t want to worry about charging the vacuum and still having limited time to use it before needing to recharge. I chose the Shark HV322 Rocket Pet Plus Corded Vacuum. I have a dog and a houseful of people so I thought this would be perfect. Upon delivery by Amazon, I brought the package in and began to unpackage so that I could give my new purchase a try. The first thing I noticed is that the outermost brown cardboard packaging that the vacuum arrived in was from Shark. It had the correct model number (see photo) but said Shark Rocket Ultra Light Upright Vacuum as the description. This raised flag #1. I removed the actual product box from the outer packaging and that description matched what I thought I purchased and received (see photo). Upon taking the vacuum parts out of the box, I then noticed that the Owners Guide said Shark Rocket Series HV320. I know that it’s not uncommon for an owners guide to have multiple model numbers in one guide. I continued removing the parts and noticed that the main vacuum head makes no mention of being Pet Plus. That says Rocket Deluxe Pro (see photo). Clearly, I have no idea if I received what I purchased. This is NOT the fault of Amazon. This is 100% the fault of Shark! I have owned 3 other Shark products. My first 2 were great and well worth every penny spent. My other current Shark vacuum is lackluster at best but I’m making it work because I can’t return it to Target (it’s only 1 month old) and I’ve thrown away the packaging. The quality of Shark products seems to have decreased while the pricing is definitely increasing. Shark should be ashamed of themselves for selling products that don’t match what their packaging says. As I said, I have not used the vacuum yet as I was too annoyed that I’m not sure if I received what I was supposed to. I’ll update after I’ve actually used whatever this corded vacuum is. Im going to post this review on Shark’s website as well to alert all buyers. I’m no longer sure that I’ll invest or recommend any Shark products.

> 3 dayso I was very excited to get a new vacuum cleaner, my last shark vacuum didn’t last very long; the hose completely fell apart and that was very disappointing. so the first thing I noticed with this new shark vac is that it came with two basic tools, and no way to attach them to the stick. How inconvenient is that? also no way to attach it to the wall so that I can store it upright. why these two necessary pieces were not included in my purchase is beyond me. Everybody trying to make extra bucks these days I guess. not only was that very disappointing but the suction power is weak. Once again, shark does not know how to design vacuum cleaners for people who actually use them —I couldn’t even vacuum underneath my couch because of the way they designed this thing. And the dirt cup is so small you have to change it before you can even finish vacuuming, do not buy this vacuum cleaner, you will be disappointed.

Greater than one weekThis was recommended to me by a friend and, as a person with 2 large dogs and 2 teenagers, this has been such a lifesaver. Easy to clean and the suction power is incredible. Im a convert. Also, I love that it plugs in so I dont have to worry about battery issues--its just a fantastic machine. Its light, gets into cracks, its the whole package.

> 3 dayThis Rocket Deluxe Pro seriously blows the competition out the water. If you’re in the market for a “good vacuum” you should read this review to help make your decision. I’ve owned this for a couple weeks now and would like to share an honest opinion about this vacuum. I would like to note that we have hard flooring and pets that shed nonstop. I needed something that would not scratch my vinyl flooring and that could get in tricky spots and pick up massive amounts of pet hair. This thing has done all of this wonderfully, and is exceeding all of my expectations over the past couple weeks that I’ve had it. Some feature that I REALLY like about it: - The headlights as they show hair that I didn’t even previously see and they allow me to vacuum rooms in the dark when I want to just quickly hit an area. I didn’t think lights mattered but they really are nice to have. - The head is extremely easy to move around. It has a pivot point where it swivels around things very easily. I was very impressed with how easy this is to maneuver and all the places I could now get with it. One cool thing is that you can almost lay it completely down (to get under things) and the base vacuum part doesn’t come off the ground at all enabling you to get under your entertainment center, bed, couch, etc. - It literally feels great in my hand while vacuuming. It feels like a nice high quality sturdy vacuum and it’s an enjoyable experience using it. I haven’t had this out of a vacuum in years and it’s a great feeling to actually enjoy vacuuming again since I have to do it every day with my pets. I did a lot of research into vacuums prior to buying this and it was really hard to pick out one that I thought would be the best for me because you can only tell so much by reading about them and you just never know until you try it. Well I assure you that I made the absolute best choice buying this and I would definitely recommend trying this one. You can always send it back through Kohl’s or something if you don’t like it but I freakin love this thing (so much that I made me want to write a review lol.) You will not be disappointed in this vacuum cleaner. Last thing to note is some people complain because it doesn’t stay upright on its own (like when you’re done using it for a moment) but its not been an issue for us at all. To store it we put it in a jacket closet. To stand it up, the handle part can actually be sat on a counter and it’ll hold the whole thing upright, or you can stand it up against a wall. Just saying this because it hasn’t been an issue at all and don’t let that discourage you.

> 3 dayThis thing really works and if you watch closely, the price typically drops to the $145 range. Dyson can never beat this price and having own one before (and returned it) the Shark brand has never failed me. We use the Rocket daily on hardwood floors, floor rugs, and medium pile carpet. It really picks up the dog hair, dust, and pollen! Its a bit clunky to assemble / disassemble after every use (the head sits near the base opening the tube), but our family overlooks this design flaw. Its biggest flaw is that this upright vac (like many) is top heavy so you cannot stand it upright and lock in place if you need to step away from the task at hand (e.g. move a piece of furniture or something laying on the floor to continue vacuuming). You will need to lay it down on the floor; leaning it against something likely will not work either. Another flaw is that the head moves around very fast (up, down, left, right). This feature works great on smooth surfaces, but if vacuuming stairs its a nuisance when using the telescopic tube attached to the brush roller. Ive yet to attach the suction head to the roller. Overlooking these design flaws, the vacuum does what its suppose to do. We went from vacuuming daily to every other day. Winner!

> 3 dayWe have one very sweet little cat that seems to lose its weight in hair every month - its everywhere. Not to mention kitty litter and dried up bits of food that coat the floors in all of the rooms week upon week... Ive only ever had $60-80 vacuums and with all of the trouble they have caused with clogged filters, lack of power and loss of suction, I decided to invest in this Shark and I have to say, its a darn good vacuum. When Im using this thing, I believe I actually have a look on my face similar to the woman in the pictures - like were content to vacuum all day long and possibly for a living. It truly is a joy to use - very lightweight but still has some heft in the main motor unit so you can tell it is built well. And it is powerful - I havent kept up with the technological advances in home vacuums and havent done the tests with nuts, bolts, marbles or a bowling ball - but it does hurt when you get it stuck to your face - FYI. All of the attachments connect to the unit with a satisfying click and are effortlessly removed. The carpet sweeper unit helps propel itself forward on even the thicker carpets which is a treat because the older cheapo units would get stuck in some areas. Maneuverability and getting under low clearance objects is now done with total ease. The hardwood floor attachment with the terrycloth pad that wipes while moving it across the floor works well too. And though the dual lights on the carpet sweeper and the one on the main unit look really cool (like Audi supplied headlights for this thing), I was surprised to find that they actually light up the carpet/floor and work very well in spotting areas you may have missed. The smaller upholstery sweeper is my favorite attachment and after using it on two of my sofas, I was amazed (and then equally appalled) at how much dirt and hair was deposited into the bin. And the bin is small - like others reviewers stated, I had to empty it 3-4 times after doing the whole place on the first use. However, like a lot of them said, that was just the first time going through what I previously presumed to be my clean apartment. The next week yielded far less and I only had to empty twice (and thats because I leave the bin clean for the next use to gauge how dirty things get over the week). Its a cinch to empty and clean - unlike the last Hoover I owned...I dont want to talk about that. The other truly wonderful thing about this vacuum and my main reason for buying it is its small footprint. Its not designed to stand upright on its own but if you live in a 1 bedroom apartment with valuable limited closet space and a girlfriend/wife that wants all that limited space to herself for her stuff, you dont want a vacuum taking up space where your Taylormades clearly fit and absolutely belong. A plastic wall/door mount hook comes in the box and I now have it mounted on the wall close to the ceiling inside my precious tool closet where it fits perfectly and is totally out of the way of anything else stuffed in there, the bag of attachments hanging right next to it. The only slightly annoying part is cord management (and I say this coming from a vacuum that had a retractable cord so dont take it too seriously unless you currently have one with that option and have gotten used to the bliss of not having to wrap and then unwrap when you are told you missed an area that needs cleaning). There is a cord hook on the main unit and then a hook on the carpet sweeper and the floor sweeper. If you have the cord wrapped around the hooks on the unit and either of those attachments, you cannot remove that attachment from the extension pole without unwrapping the cord completely. Its a small hassle and easily remedied by just wrapping the cord around the main unit handle and dust bin instead of using the hooks. That way, you can interchange and store the way you want without fussing with the cord first. As you can tell, Im not getting technical on this review - I dont know much about vacuums because they arent my thing and it took some deep reasoning and soul searching for me to pull the trigger on a $250 (with tax) dirt sucking machine - I was simultaneously looking at any other FUN electronic item for the same amount before I clicked buy. But, all-in-all, Im happy with the choice and thanks to all the reviewers who helped me make it. If youre living with someone who has de facto control over all of the storage space in a 1 bedroom apartment with 4 small closets but only 1.5 you can call yours and everything of communal use has to go in your closet exclusively, this is the vacuum for you. If you have more space to work with and call your own, good for you - very happy for you. You will like the vacuum too.
