Shark Rocket Pet Plus Corded Stick Vacuum, XL Cup, Bordeaux/Silver, HV322 | Under 10 Lbs., Handheld Conversion, Pet Hair Pickup, LED Headlights, Swivel Steering, Crevice and Upholstery Tools

We recently purchased this vacuum after having the same one (replaced with another identical one) for something like ten years. This vacuum is awesome!! We just vacuumed a week ago with the old vacuum and the amount of fur the new vacuum picked up an incredible amount of fur!! My carpet is so clean! I cannot recommend this vacuum enough! It's lightweight, has incredible suction, is easy to use, and is taller so that I don't have to bend over and have tons of back pain from vacuuming. I love it!! 😁

I typically do not write reviews as soon as I receive a product. I like to use things for a while first to see if they actually perform as intended and seem built well enough for the long haul. I’ve owned these for about a year and a half now, so I’ve had enough time to get a good feel for how they hold up over time. I’ve got to say, these little Sharks check all the boxes. I say “these” because I ended up buying a second one after seeing how well the first performed. I live in a log cabin with wood walls, wood floors, and wood ceilings, so there are not many places for dust and dirt to hide. Every time I use one of these vacuums, I’m amazed at the amount of dirt and fine dust it pulls into the dust cup. These things are suction monsters. The vacuum is lightweight, so using it never feels like a chore. The attachments are actually useful instead of just becoming closet clutter. The vacuum head is large enough to clean open areas quickly but still compact enough to get around and under tables and chairs easily. The cord is also long enough that I can usually clean most rooms without constantly changing outlets. If you can say you actually enjoy using a vacuum cleaner, this would be the one. To be honest, there is really nothing about this vacuum that I do not like. Pros: Strong suction Lightweight and easy to use Useful attachments Good reach and maneuverability Long enough cord for most rooms Cons: None so far Bottom line: This vacuum has performed extremely well for me, and I have been satisfied enough to purchase a second one. I would repurchase and would recommend.

Durable vac, lightweight, and powerful. Easy to convert and take apart to clean filters. Love that it plugs in and needs no battery. Works as good as bigger heavy vacs. Great value for the cost. Absolutely would buy again.

So first off this is a nice vacuum. It has great suction and so far I have not had it get clogged. The collection barrel is easy to remove and clip back in place. Emptying the barrel is a bit of a trick but once you get the hang of it, it's easy to do. I love how lightweight this vacuum is. I love that it has a light. I love that it handles like a battery-powered stick vacuum but with the power of a corded vacuum. Another thing I love is that you can easily remove the main attachment when vacuuming to have a long open-ended stick for vacuuming up areas that are difficult for the regular attachment to reach. This is so seamless and easy it is one of my favorite features about this vacuum. Here is where I wish they would improve it. I understand it will never be able to stand on its own due to be top-heavy but including a holder to install on the wall would have been nice since most stick vacuums have one. If this holder could hold the attachment pieces that would be great also. Next, the cord tends to tangle due to the texture of the cord. Not a big deal but it could be simply remedied by making the cord smooth. Finally, when using the larger vacuum attachment ( the regular piece) it tends to pop into the upright position way too easily requiring you to push it back down into vacuum mode with your foot. I vacuumed my house (1200sq) and I had to push the piece down probably 7 times because it would pop back up into upright mode if you got too close to vacuuming upright. There should be locking spots for this on the attachment to prevent this. These are all trivial things that would make this vacuum AMAZING. Don't get me wrong this is a very nice vacuum but Shark could make it even better with just a few minor adjustments for the consumer practicality.

This is the best stick vacuum I've used - it's excellent at picking up litter and cat hair, which is what I bought it for. I recommend emptying after a few minutes of use to get the best usage. Affordable, great performance, super durable (let's just say it took a small tumble down the stairs and still works perfectly), and works well on hard floors and high carpet. The cord is super long, so it's easy to clean without having to deal with a cord that's too short. I love this vacuum (never thought I'd reach the stage in my life where I hold such regard for an inanimate object...).

I purchased this exact model from here a little over 2 years ago. I'll contribute a long-term review since it apparently is still being produced and sold and as a review reader myself I always appreciate when someone drops back in to give insight to a product's longevity and performance. Which I'm happy to report the vacuum in still running strong and used almost daily, albeit a little worse for wear but that's because I use it pretty hard and unforgivingly. My use environment - a 1100 sq ft condo with 100% ceramic tile flooring and 2 8ft x 10ft rugs. I also have 2 cats that shed. Keep in mind that YMMV based on your own living space. For my space size/type I feel this vacuum's mix of suction power, dust cup size, power cord length, a lower speed beater-bar setting for hard floors and higher setting for rugs - all together in a stick style vacuum was a perfect match. Now if your space is much larger with wall to wall carpeting then this would not be a good choice. Stick vacuums are just not made for that kind of job and a traditional upright is probably best. If your space falls somewhere in then middle with size and/or has a mix of flooring types then... good luck with that. Maybe get both types of vacuums? Or a traditional upright that isn't super heavy has some good hard wood floor features. Or take a hybrid approach and go with an old school canister style. You get the idea, moving on... Using the vacuum - I've got to say this has been one of the best vacuums I've ever purchased. There are a few quirks I won't waste time listing and it could use more attachments but the low $150-ish price more than makes up for those minor complaints. My remember my first impressions were that it "felt" cheap and "plasticy" and thought it wouldn't last log given my taxing usage. Turns out it's done a remarkable job with heavy and demanding use and abuse. In fact if it were to give up on life tomorrow I would seriously consider just buying another to replace itself. A few more things I like that I would like to point out - I've purchased many vacuums over the years and these are the things that stand out to me about this vacuum: -> It's not cordless. I made that mistake once and learned that battery powered vacuums suck (pun intended). You can never quite finish before it runs out of juice and of course you can't use it while it's charging. The battery capacity declines over time and so does the power. You're lucky to get a year out of it. -> The cord is nice and long, I only have to change outlets once to do my entire home. -> It's motor and resulting suction power is impressive for a "stick" vacuum. Another WIN for the power cord, no cordless is going to meet that kind of power output and do it consistently for over 2 years so far. And as far as corded stick vacuums go, this one places on the more powerful side of what you typically find, almost rivalling it's full-sized traditional versions. -> 2 beater bar speeds easily changed with your thumb without stopping, this makes transitioning from hard to rug to hard again really easy. -> The dust cup is large compared to other brands/models of the same size and power class. If you battle pet hair like I do then you will appreciate the larger dust cup. I don't understand why dust cups aren't larger across the board. But I digress. -> The dust cup is easy top remove, dump and reattach with little effort or tools needed. -> The filters are very durable, I'm still on my originals and wash those frequently and wring them out but they are still in usable condition. I will need new ones eventually but not quite yet. -> It's got a nice length, so if you're tall it feels comfortable to use and it also makes getting under things easier. Some of the cheaper sticks on the market are little more than a dust buster fixed to a short pole with a handle. They feels like your using a child's toy vacuum. Alright a few minor criticisms I'll mention in case they aren't minor to you: -> There really should be a hose attachment that you can pop on to the spot that the tube detaches from on the hand unit. Same end piece as the tube but is on a hose instead. Although this complaint could be for many other models too-) -> It's a bit on the loud side, as loud as a full sized traditional vacuum, but I'd rather have loud and powerful vs less loud and less power. -> That long power cord I mentioned I liked becomes one that is a lot to circle back up on the storage hooks on the unit. Sometimes I get lazy and just kind of wad it on or behind it in the closet. A power cord retractor like on the full sized machine would be an amazing upgrade, but I don't think this feature exists on any stick vacuum for space reasons, I assume. Fine, now that I'm thinking about this stuff there are 2 significant things that I really do not like - -> There is no stand for it, you lean it up and hope it doesn't slide and fall to the floor where, invariably, the dust cup pops off makes a huge mess. Beware of leaning it up against kitchen counters. It feels like it should stay put but it won't. Seriously it will fall down. You'll see. -> 2 There is no place to attach and store the brush/upholstery attachment anywhere on the vacuum. To make it worse, there are several obvious places that would work quite well for this too. Why did I just write all that? Seriously, I need to get a life. TL:DR - is good, buy

Aug 12 2015 Update: Had an issue with the motor & had to call cust service. Problem was handled very quickly & efficiently! Thanks! Orig REview: I researched until I was blue in the face because I do NOT like to sweep & I didn't want to buy a problem or a disappointment. Sweeping is a pain & a chore. But to my surprise every time I use this Shark it brings a SMILE! :) Wasn't sure what t to expect with this Shark,...there were some mixed reviews & opinions were helpful. Since I own several Dyson's including a Dyson 44 (I'm not happy with the D-44 or small storage of the Black & Decker Platinum 20v hand vac) I looked at buying the dyson59. Glad I chose this Shark,...though nothing is Perfect...& this Shark is not designed for all situations. PERFORMANCE: I don't try to sweep a large house,..its just not designed for that. It's great for quick, effective clean ups but has flexibility to do larger areas too. Shark give me flexibility to keep my full-size Dyson in the closet much much longer between major cleaning. That's nice. With a cord I have no batteries to run down unexpectedly. Nice. Yes I do have to find an outlet to plug it in, but it's got a very long cord which minimizes that minor annoyance. -The dust /dirt collection cup is much biGGer than the Dyson's I've tried & much easier to dump without a mess. Plus the dirt cup is easily detachable with one hand,..very convenient, well thought out,...a major plus. -The snap connections on the shaft of my portable Dyson are so loose goosey it's like trying to sweep with a droopy wet noodle & leaks suction. Not fun. -But the Rocket is ROCK SOLID! The locking couplers on the shaft are very solid w/no loss of suction. No wet noodle feeling at all. It's a lightweight metal of some sort more durable than plastic. But I resisted buying Shark for a long time because of the huckster feel to their advertising that made me resist buying. Shark's First Class Quality Engineering surprised me. OTHER PLUSSES: * * *NEW UPDATE.... When I need to store the unit I don't use the wall hook. Instead of mounting a plastic hook somewhere to hang the Shark, I lean the Sharp upright against the wall as one unit, nothing detached,....with the bottom vac head close to the wall. It's quick, easy, nothing to disassemble, no mounting hooks involved, convent storage anywhere while minimizing storage space. -Lean Storage works for me because of two small, strategically placed rubberized feet /knobs on the underside of the dust cup that helps grab the wall so it doesn't slide down. It also creates a 3-point stability between the 2 rubberized knobs & the sweeper head flat on the floor. In this 3-point position the Shark rests nicely balanced /stabilized with minimal storage space yet ready to conveniently swing into action quickly. -smartHE (smart Handy Engineering). The placement of rubber knobs is one example of what I call smartHE (Smart Handy Engineering) or smart, handy, practical engineering features that enhance Sharks performance, reduce stress & make it flat out easier /even fun to use. These small rubber knobs do double duty cushioning /stabilizing the plastic dirt cup when laying the sweeper flat on the floor. SUGG: would be helpful if Shark could enhance this upright storage feature with some pop-out rubber feet on the sweeper head & larger rubber on the bottom of the dirt bin. The 3-point storage is easy & simply needs a wall /closet etc to lean against. The rubber under the dirt cup keeps everything stable & in place,...automatically keeping itself from walking /rolling away from the wall or falling over sideways. I store it upright like this even on smooth hardwood floors. Very convenient & gives max flexibility to store it most anywhere out of sight, in an quiet corner, etc.. Nice! With a little practice it's easy to catch on to the technique & not have problems of it falling over as some reviewers have mentioned. -Vac performance works great on medium, short carpeting, hardwood floors & tile. Don't have to change height or anything,...just flip a switch that slows the beater brush on smooth surfaces. On deeper pile carpet I go to high speed. I read the directions. Easy Peasy & effective. -***UPDATE: The Sweeper's Headlight was a BIG SURPRISE. The angle & intensity allows me to actually SEE THE DIRT dirt /dust on my medium dark hard wood floors. Nothing in the marketing describes this benefit, but it's a real help to actually see where I've swept & see the dust in areas yet to be swept. NO MORE GUESSING! As a result I haven't really used any other attachment yet. The slower brush speed setting for wood floors attracts dirt & smart handy engineering keeps the spinning roller from damaging the wood floor. Never a danger of that. -Bot the motorized animal attachment for cat hair & misc on bedding. I can immediately see the results in the transparent collection container. Use Shark for steps too, but often too lazy to switch the heads & simply use my normal floor attachment for steps too,... with great success. * * * UPDATE... WHEEL NOISE & HARDWOOD FLOORS: Not an issue for me. The two large wheels have rubberized tread which deaden click clacking over wood /tile floors & superior to all-plastic wheels wheels on most vacs. -The two small spacing rollers on the front of the sweeper head are not rubberized & do make some rolling noise on wood. Some reviews reported the noise was annoying on hard floors but on balance was not an issue for me. * * * NEW TIP: IF YOU HAVE A BAD BACK or trouble bending over you can wind the electric cord without bending. While standing upright with cord in hand, simply let out enough cord to loop it over the lower hook when draw the cord back over the upper hook then let out enough length to loop under the lower hook & repeat. The cord is flexible yet stiff enough to make this work easily. With a little practice you'll catch on easily. Works for me. -Does have a nice LOOOONG cord. But I always come to an end somewhere where an just an extra 5 feet would be nice. It's one of those things where LOOOG is never long enough! An extra 5 feet would be handy if it can be safely done. -Durability & Longevity....only time will tell. But this Shark is starting from higher quality level /features than battery powered units like Dyson44 /59. That higher quality & attention to detail usually translates to durability & longevity. GREATEST STRENGTH: HIGH QUALITY & VERSATILITY. Does not pretend to be a full size vacuum. But delivers Big time features. Shark adapts well to most situations /hardwood /tile /medium & short carpet, under furniture & hard to reach places with excellent heppa filtration that's easy to clean & refuse. No special filters to constantly buy. So it's versatile, self contained & easy to maintain filters with peak performance. It is wrist arm intensive so if you're handicapped in those areas you may want to stay with traditional floor sleepers,,,but can always give it a 30 day test /return. -Usually avail at a lower price than battery powered competitors. With Shark there's no limit on run time,...no expensive batteries to wear out or repurcha$e. Just plug & run. -TOO MUCH: Suction & cleaning performance are excellent. Some sweepers I've used have TOO MUCH suction making it tough to easily move the sweeper across the carpet because it sucks down on the floor /carpet & won't glide. No problem here w/Shark due to smart engineering that manages the suction well & picks up the dirt. With a little care & technique I can sweep even loose throw carpets without it being sucked off the floor into the sweeper head. SUGG: it would be nice if Shark had a safety overload pop-out reset switch to protect the head roller & motor if something gets caught in the roller. CONS & More SUGGS: There aren't many. Plastic wall mounting hook is a little weak. But that's not an issue for me since I use the handy 3-point storage for leaning against a wall in a closet or empty corner out of sight yet close at hand. This makes sweeping quick & effective,...not a big production. An extra 5ft on the cord would be nice. Extra lights on the sweeper head that shine not only to the front, but to the sides for larger viewing area would be nice. Adjust the motor to get rid of the annoying whine. A simple quick wheel lock to keep the unit from rolling away from the wall when storing /leaning it upright. -A larger accessory bag that closes more secure with a couple fabric loops for hanging would be nice. I don't change accessories very often & store them in the handy bag on a hook in my closet. Some reviewers prefer having all attachments on the shaft at all times, but for my taste that reduces portability & performance which is Shark. Besides, I can use my big, bulky sweeper if I want all my attachments at my fingertips. * * * UPDATE: MY CAT ALWAYS JETS out of the room whenever I start a sweeper. To my compete surprise, my cat GRACIE just calmly sat there watching me sweep away! Who knew?! Ha! SHARK IS CAT ENDORSED... :). BOTT LINE: Brings a s-m-i-l-e every time I use it. Pushing my Shark I feel smart, refined & minimal. Now when going back & pushing my full sized vac I feel clunky & out of step. Just sayin. Unexpectedly gives me a smile & lift on what used to be a chore. After owning 3/4 Dysons, I finally chose to break away from all that overpriced hype & poorly fitting cheap plastic. It was hard to convince myself to do that. I know we're just talking about a sweeper here, but the feeling of freedom & discovery was worth it. This shark delivered solutions for all the annoyances that were trapping me with Dyson & other brands. Shark's smartHE (smart Handy Engineering) features are second to none. Superior fit /finish, exceptional cleaning performance, versatility, larger collection cup easily removable, smarter design, usually less expensive... this Shark is a winner in my book. Glad I gave it a try. Our cat Grace is much happier, too. HIGHLY Recommend. EASILY EARNS 5-STARS!

This vacuum is more convenient to use than a regular one. I have had multiple Sharks over the years and love the brand. There are a few things that make me want to return it (I can't, it's past the return window): 1. It is freaking loud. For such a small vacuum you would think it would be quieter. I think maybe it's the fact that the motor is closer to your ears so it's louder. 2. It doesn't stand up against a wall because it's top heavy, so if you have to move something while vacuuming you have to lay it on the ground. Kind of a PITA to be honest. Things that I like about it: 1. It has the light on it so you can see all the dirt, dust, pet hair, etc that you can't always see with other vacuums. 2. The container that holds the dirt is fairly big for a stick vac. I can vacuum a whole room and still not fill it up. It's also easy to clean the container which I like to do now and then. 3. The cord is really long. This can be good and bad. Good because I don't have a lot of outlets so I can get to almost my entire living room from one plug. Bad because it tends to get in the way. Honestly I don't know why they stopped making vacs with retractable cords. They were way more convenient than having to carry around the cord while vacuuming. Overall I would say it's a pretty good vacuum if you have a smaller house without a lot of carpets. Most of my house is tile. It picks up dirt easily, it's light, and easy to maneuver. To store it, you can take the part that has the motor off and put it on the bottom of the vacuum. It's in the manual (I don't read manuals so it took me a while to figure that out lol)

La compré porque tengo un gato de pelo largo y tras comprar dos robots aspiradores que se atascaban con los pelos, decidí irme por una de estas. La tengo un par de meses y hasta ahora ha funcionado bien. La uso dos veces por semana y aspira bien todo. La luz que tiene esta útil para detectar basurita que no se ve a simple vista. Hasta el momento no se ha atascado con los pelos. Es un poquito pesada, pero nada que no se pueda manejar.

The Shark Rocket TruePet Ultra-Light Upright (HV322) vacuum cleaner has truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I started using it, I was blown away by its exceptional performance. Its ultra-light design makes maneuvering around my home a breeze, and the powerful suction capabilities are simply outstanding. One of the standout features of this vacuum is its TruePet motorized brush, which effortlessly tackles pet hair and debris on both carpets and hard floors. As a pet owner, this has been a game-changer for me. The advanced swivel steering allows me to effortlessly reach even the most challenging corners and under furniture, ensuring a thorough clean every time. I also appreciate the versatility of the Shark Rocket HV322, as it easily converts into a handheld vacuum for smaller tasks. The bagless design and easy-to-empty dust cup are convenient and cost-effective. It's a reliable, durable, and efficient cleaning companion. If you're in the market for a vacuum that combines power, versatility, and lightweight convenience, the Shark Rocket TruePet Ultra-Light Upright (HV322) is an excellent choice that I highly recommend.

I had really high expectations on this vacuum based on the reviews. Unfortunately, the engine was making a weird noise and smelling burnt. I will return it.

La usé por primera vez y por ahora, estoy encantada. Tiene fuerza y levanta mucho polvo donde pensé que estaba limpio. Tiene dos ni eles de potencia y trabaja muy bien.

I just finished vacuuming my house for the first time with this baby. It has a special setting for area rugs and hard floors.... the bar still rotates but at a slower rate so debris doesn't get tossed everywhere.... amazing! the vacuum can maneuver itself everywhere in my home and it was so easy to do my stairs and get under my bed, something I was unable to do with my previous upright. The suction is out of this world. I never thought I would have my life changed by a vacuum. There are concerns on here about the small cannister but I enjoyed emptying it and analyzing the copioys amounts of dust that my previous vacuum left behind. It comes with so many tools as well that were not mentioned in the ad.
