Shark Rocket Ultra-Light Corded Bagless Vacuum for Carpet and Hard Floor Cleaning with Swivel Steering (HV301), Gray/Orange

Compact Vacuum with Big Performance
The Shark Rocket Ultra-Light Corded Bagless Vacuum is a game-changer! It’s incredibly lightweight, making it easy to maneuver around the house, yet powerful enough to tackle both carpet and hard floors. The swivel steering helps reach every corner with ease. I love how easy it is to empty the dust cup, and the vacuum doesn’t lose suction. It’s the perfect combination of compact design and strong performance. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a versatile and efficient vacuum!

Great vacuum? Yes. Replaces your upright? No.
Original Review (UPDATE AT BOTTOM):I bought this hoping to replace my current Dyson DC33 vacuum with a vacuum that’s more portable and convenient. I have multiple dogs in my house that shed hair like crazy and I vacuum very frequently to keep everything clean. The box advertises that it cleans better than an upright Dyson but after thoroughly testing it out on the different flooring and different rooms in my house, unfortunately I feel it didn’t work well enough to replace my Dyson. Don’t get me wrong, the Shark Rocket did outperform the Dyson by a long shot on different flooring and I am keeping it because of that. The following are the tests I performed (note I went two weeks without vacuuming prior to this test and I cleaned both vacuums out between tests):After unboxing it, I tried vacuuming one of my carpeted hallways. I have regular short carpeting and I noticed that the shark kept pulling away from me the whole time and kept skipping across the surface. I could tell the vacuum is too light to get a good deep clean. I tried holding it at an angle and putting a bit of pressure down on it and that seemed to help a lot, it was just awkward and uncomfortable to hold and maneuver like this. The shark picked up a lot of hair and dust and I had a full canister at the end. I then used my Dyson over the same carpet I just cleaned with the shark and noticed the difference. The Dyson filled up almost a quarter of its full size canister with hair and dust that the Shark missed.Next I moved one of our rooms that has hard wood flooring. I ran the shark with its included hard wood floor tool and was amazed by how well it cleaned the floors. The white micro fiber cloth was dirty afterwards and the floor felt much cleaner than it did with my Dyson. I also was impressed with how easy it was to use to clean under the bed and desk in that room. After using the Shark I went over the floors like I normally do with the Dyson and the Dyson picked up nothing. To make sure that I wasn’t being bias I cleaned out the two vacuums, went to the other room I have with hard wood and tried using the Dyson first. I then went over the floors with the Shark and again it out performed the Dyson. The Microfiber pad that the Shark has cleans the hardwood floors significantly better than the Dyson could and the Shark gets under beds and desks much better than my Dyson.Next I tried using the shark in one of my bathrooms with bathroom tile. I had the same outcome as I did with the hardwood floors. I started with the Shark, and then went over the floors with the Dyson. The Shark’s canister was about halfway full and the Dyson picked up nothing. I cleaned them out and moved to my other bathroom with tile in it and tried using the Dyson first. The Dyson picked up quite a bit but again the Shark outperformed the Dyson.Finally I have a large area rug in my living room and I used the Dyson first on one half and then went over it with that same half with the Shark. The Dyson got most of the hair and dust out of it but I noticed that the Shark picked up about a quarter of its small canister that the Dyson missed. I believe it’s from the edges of the rug, the Dyson’s suction always pulls up the edges of the rug and is too difficult to vacuum close to the edges. The shark on it’s lower setting cleaned the outer edges of the rug without having this problem. Next I cleaned out both vacuums and used the Shark first on the other half of the area rug. It performed very well and filled its little canister up with hair pretty quick. I went over that half with the Dyson and it did pick up a little bit (barely noticeable amount) that the Shark missed but in my opinion, the hassle of the Dyson pulling up the edges of the rug isn’t worth it, the Shark was much easier to use and cleaned the rug very well.Overall the Shark Rocket outperforms my Dyson DC33 upright on hardwood, tile, and area rugs but the Shark just doesn’t work well enough on carpet to completely replace my upright. I’m impressed enough with the performance of the Shark that I am keeping it to use on all my flooring except for carpet. The only other thing I noticed is that my hand and arm did get tired from holding up the Shark the whole time cleaning and the Shark won’t stand upright on its own, you either have to hold it the whole time, or lay it on the floor between cleanings. If you are looking for a good and convenient vacuum for hardwood, tile, or area rugs, I would highly recommend this vacuum. If you are looking for a vacuum to replace an old upright and plan to use it on carpeting, buy another upright, not this. This a great vacuum to use to clean quick messes on carpeting but I don’t feel it cleans carpet well enough to fully replace an upright.UPDATE:I’ve had the vacuum for a few weeks now and after frequently using it, I still feel the same as my initial review above, this is a great vacuum but I don’t feel it’s good enough to fully replace an upright with. Yesterday I decided to try using the vacuum to clean out the inside of my car and I was impressed with how well the micro cleaning kit (included in HV302)cleaned all of the usually hard places to clean. I used the micro cleaning kit to vacuum out the vents, cup holders, dash board, and other places in the car that are too difficult to get with a rag and it worked great. I also used the regular accessories to vacuum my cloth seats which worked very well and they are noticeably more clean. I started using the vacuum on the floors of my car but I quickly changed my mind after it sucked up a few small pebbles which immediately started bashing around the inside of the canister which I feel would have caused damage to the vacuum if I kept going. As far as this vacuum as a car cleaner, I would suggest using a shop vac on the floors of the car (if you have a gravel driveway like me) and then using this vacuum to clean your seats, vents, and other hard to clean places. If you plan on using this vacuum to clean your car, I would HIGHLY recommend getting the micro cleaning kit, it made cleaning my car that much easier.

Exactly what I need
I bought this on a black Friday deal. At that time, we had family in for the holiday. There were five dogs plus my three cats. The vacuum arrived as promised. I used it immediately. After vacuuming, I walked around, barefooted, the floors felt clean. I have no carpet. So you feel everything on the floor. It is top heavy so doesn’t stand well on it’s own. Get the hanging attachnent if that will be a problem for you. The cord is long so no need to unplug and plug to finish a room. The head swivels and glides which helps get around furniture smoothly. It lays flat so can even reach under beds.UPDATE: Just noticed in manual it shows how to store w/o buying the other piece. The top piece can pop out and hook towards bottom to keep from falling over. Clever and helpful!

Wow!
After many hours looking at the endless pages of corded stick vaccumes on Amazon and considering cordless too, I finally committed to this Shark vacuum. It’s not too heavy, and I like that it has a long cord, which allows me to not worry about a battery running out like the stick vacuum does. It has 3 attachments, and the dust one is incredible, I use it often. Some stick vacuumes give off a wierd chemical smell when used, but this one has zero smell, and it comes with the HEPA filter. The cord wraps around from top to bottom and the main heavy motor end detaches and can be clipped on the bottom part of the vaccume, so it doesn’t fall off like othe other top heavy stick vacuumes. The power is perfect, and I really recommend this model and brand!

Recommend highly

Necesitaria valorar varias cosas, sin embargo es una marca y un producto que valen la pena.Sobre todo porque lo agarre a mejor precio del normal.Mis puntos de vista reales del producto: Pros y cons.Sirve en alfombra o piso duro sin problema.Muy buena succion (se esta en la primer semana de compra)Facil uso y ensamble.Es para limpieza diaria o rapida.Se calienta rapido.Tiene poco espacio al ser pequeña asi que se tiene que estar limpiando varias veces, eso si tienes casa grande.Es un poco mas pesada de lo que pense (son como 9 libras o 4 kilos)Tienes que tener cuidado en escaleras por el cordon (pero eso es basico de todas)No trae donde colgarla, pero si tiene espacio el producto al reverso para poder ponerla en algun lugar puesto con anterioridad (es decir no trae aditamento para guardar),Al ser pesado el motor versus los accesorios, si la dejas sola parada puede caerse.Pero a pesar de los puntitos malos, le doy un 4.5 de 5 estrellas, lo unico que no me gusta es que se calento algo rapido en comparacion de otras maquinas que he tenido.

Facil de utilizar muy comoda, remplaza al 100% a una escoba convencional, ideal para aspirar diario en lugar de barrer y mover el polvo de un lado a otro. EXCELENTE
