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

This is a great vacuum. My home is entirely hardwood, but with several area rugs and this vacuum does the trick. Its easily maneuvered and changes easily to a hand-held in secs. LOVE IT

This 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!

I just recommended this vacuum for the umpteenth time (to our company owner, for our office and because hes interested in a new vacuum for his home). Since I love it so much, I guess I should take a couple minutes to review it. I am not a domestic diva by any means. So its a big deal that I love this machine. I decided against a cordless model since cordless always means a big heavy battery pack, and this has a long enough cord that it doesnt have to constantly be plugged and unplugged. Its not heavy but the suction is great. In fact, if you have lightweight area rugs, be careful because it can grab them pretty easily. The motor head has a light, which helps tremendously, and it swivels and lays flat making it easy to get around and under furniture and other obstacles. It also seems to vacuum my vinyl floor pretty well. Someone mentioned that its too loud but it doesnt seem any different than any other vacuum Ive used, so I guess the noise level depends on what youre comparing it to. When you dont need the motor head, you just step on a lever and it comes off, leaving you with a handheld vacuum that can reach the cobwebs in the corner of ceilings (depending on your ceiling height). If you want an even more compact vacuum for vacuuming stairs or your car interior, its easy to remove the stick portion. Ordinarily switching out a lot of parts makes it a cumbersome affair but its easy with this vacuum, and just as easy to click the parts back on. I bought this model earlier in 2022 but I see it has been upgraded since then, so the attachments store on the body. That addresses one of 2 issues I had with this. The other issue is that you cant leave it upright--I have to rest it against the molding of a doorway or a piece of furniture. It really hasnt been a problem but I thought it was worth mentioning. I do not have a pet so I cant comment on pet hair, but I shed a lot of hair myself and it seems to pick it up fine. It does have a bagless cup that I empty after each vacuuming session. Overall, I highly recommend this model and look forward to having one in our office to get all the paper scraps, etc. on my office carpet that the cleaning crew doesnt get to. Best vacuum Ive ever had and the only one I have ever loved (probably the only cleaning tool I have ever loved, in fact). No regrets at all. Thanks to Shark for a well-designed machine!

I travel for work with my dog, living in Airbnb/short term rentals. I’ve found that most STRs provide kind of the bare minimum for cleaning supplies, so I like to bring my own and clean up weekly as I would in my own home. I’ve been fortunate so far to stay mainly in places with hard floors so I was able to get by with a swiffer/broom, but my current spot has thick carpet in the bedrooms. The couch here is also fabric, my last few places had leather couches, and the fabric is attracting a lot of fur. After a few weeks the fur build up was getting to be too much and I decided to invest in a vacuum to join me on my travels. I had a few criteria in mind: • lightweight/packs small • could clean either carpet or hardwood • poweful enough to manage pet fur • convertible from floor to handheld This Shark really checks all of the boxes! The dust tank is on the small side, but large enough that I can get through the large master bedroom without emptying it, so that’s really all that matters. I’m super happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to any travel nurses or others in similar situations

My only complaint is the way you need to take the top off to have it set by itself. Little combursome.

This vacuum is light weight and easy to use!! My other shark would not pick up cat litter. It would always kick the litter back out! This shark on the other hand is great! Must have!!

Nice light stick vacuum. Cleans well. Fits in narrow and low spaces. Im very happy with this vacuum!

I like this style so much this style of the Shark Rocket Vacuum this is my 3rd one in 11 years. (So roughly last around 5 years on average). I got the original one when it first came out. I have had two of the HV301. Now I want to try this supposedly improved model HV322. This is lighter than the HV301. I love the ease of use and versatility. You can use on your car too. I do have some of the extra attachment that belong with the HV301, and I am happy that is backwards compatible. Specially the powered small roller brush for furniture. The Suction power is comparable. This one the dust cup/container can be removed from the body. It’s a nice feature but I wish they kept the design of the original container where there is no curvature. When you release the latch, this curve at the bottom cover causes some of the dust to be trapped and does not all go in the trash versus the original just plain straight bottom cover. The main thing that happens to it over time is the hose at the bottom of the floor brush roller breaks. (See picture side by side HV322 and HV301 Floor rollers) I think it’s safe to assume that I would have to replace this hose too, usually every 2 years or so. (Very annoying) They do sell the hose on Amazon. The other issue is the plastic this is made of, becomes brittle and the wheels at the bottom of the floor roller breaks at the snap on (usually happens at year 3 after the warranty is over). The snap latch at the top where the filters are also breaks over time. (Which is what triggered me to buy a new one). The plastic this is made of has a short lifespan. Just enough to get thru the warranty period. But it is a nice convenient vaccumm.

As a professional house cleaner, I was looking for a lightweight easily portable vacuum to replace the Oreck handheld makeshift backpack I had been using. This shark vacuum is much better. For the sake of comparing similar items(oreck handheld aside), I would like to compare it to the Dyson Animal v6 model (I have used several times at a client house). The Shark has a cord. Its cord is the perfect length for a cord. I have used it in multiple houses and it doesnt get tangled, yet I dont have to keep unplugging and plugging it back in because it cant reach another room. The Dyson is wonderfully cordless and powerful. Dyson also has a battery life of maybe 20 min on the max setting before needing to be recharged, 30 or so if its on the normal setting. This shark has all the maneuverability of the dyson, maybe even better. It fits between all the chair legs I can find and has a low enough profile to slip under a lot of furniture. Also love the lights on the shark, they let you know where the dirt and hair is and you can see it lift up, and there are lights on the smaller handheld part too! Switching from the floor sweeper to the long nozzle to get into corners and cracks couldnt be easier, it can be done with a toe touch and pulled off single handedly (good design). The dyson animal cannot do that. The dust canister on the shark holds a lot and can be emptied and cleaned (the manual says to wash the filters monthly, it has washable filters, yay!) The dust canister on the dyson is awkward to empty and damn near impossible to clean, and there are hairs that always get caught up by the mesh that you cant get to by just emptying it, you have to pry the whole thing open with a tool and pray to the dyson gods that you wont break the thing while youre simply trying to clean it. The biggest complaint that I have about the shark is that it is top heavy. You cannot simply stand it up in the middle of a room, it must be laid down or propped carefully against a wall. It is not as lightweight as I had hoped, but considering the price tag, Im giving it a pass. Lightweight? Yes, but its not the best gift for granny as it is top heavy and a little clunky. Im 54 tall and the shark feels a little too tall for me, but that might just be a personal preference. I would recommend the shark for anyone who wants a versatile vacuum that is easy to use and affordable, but dont expect featherweight. It goes from hard floors to rugs and carpet with ease. Its good with pet hair, human hair, and cat litter. I still do not think it is the ultimate portable vac for professional house cleaners, but for regular house cleaning, this is a great machine. The dyson is for a wealthy grandma with one cat who vacuums every day and has a service center or grandchild that will clean it once in a while.

Great suction!! Great for quick everyday quick cleaning. Just wish there was a way these could be made to stand on their own. Realize the weight if the top wont allow self standing but wish companies could come up with a solution. Only thing I dont like about this vacation. LOVE tge ease of use and power though!!!
