Excellent stick-vac. Doesn’t do a great job with bulkier debris but is overall good for what it is. Have yet to have the battery run out before finishing a job.

Shark - Pet Plus Cordless Stick Vacuum with Self-Cleaning Brushroll and PowerFins - Magenta Great power, long battery life,

I really like my new Shark Rocket vacuum. For a small device, it has a powerful suction and is great for cleaning stairs. It's also easy to empty--just push the button.

Great vacuum! Picks up dirt I didn’t even know was there. Battery last for medium size house. Price on cordless vacuums is still a little high.

Easy to use, no more tossing dirt around with a broom. No hair problems, very little maintenance. I’m happy with battery life, but maybe having a spare could be useful.

Had a Dyson V-Animal stick vacuum. While we were told up and down the thing would run for up to 45 minutes, the most we ever received was 10 minutes and over time we were down to 55 seconds (my wife timed it). The SHARK has a way better run time, equally as good (check the ratings by the experts). One extremely minor thing: it is advertised as standing on its own...but we haven't had much luck with that. This thing is powerful, light weight and the low profile carpet/floor attachment easily goes under most furnture that I woulld expect and narrow enought to go between bar chairs. Very impressed.

The Shark Rocket was just about like any other cordless stick vacuum. Lightweight, portable, special filter, easy to empty canister, etc. However, one of its main selling points was that it didn't buildup hair on the roller bar. Now I've had a ton of experience with various vacuums that have made this promise so I was thinking to myself "yeah right!". Much to my surprise it was designed a little different. Instead of having the traditional bristles on a roller bar it actually has these rigid flaps that don't trap hair on the bar. So it truly does not seem to have issue with getting hair stuck on the roller bar. Now I used this for about a month in my place of business where there are hundreds of women coming and going per day. My previous vacuum was always jamming up with hair and it was quite a nuisance to have to cut it out all the time. It seems as though this little guy is going to save me of having to perform that duty!! That's a big win! The suction is pretty good and it seems to do a better job than most other cordless sticks I've used in the past at cutting through the bonded carpet we have, which has a tendency to trap little tiny objects like hairs and debris. Battery life seems pretty good too. I was able to vacuum a full 2500sq ft without running out of power. It's also quite nice that the battery is detachable so you can charge it, but still put the vacuum away. The device is lightweight, easy to use, and very easy to empty the canister into the garbage. All in all I give this one a thumbs up and would totally recommend it to a friend!

Love my new shark! It’s great to move freely without a cord and it has great suction.

Seemed like a nice vacuum, but did not meet my needs. I spoke to someone about what I was looking for (a vacuum to pick up torn up paper and tissues that my dog sometimes destroys). The person at the store though this vacuum would work. It did not work for my purposes. I ended up returning it and going with a cordless shop vac.

The Shark Rocket cordless stick vacuum is hands-down the best pet hair vacuum I’ve had, incredibly impressive in its ability to pick up dog hair from carpeted surfaces. The Rocket features an all-cloth beater bar to pick up the hair, different from the hair-like filaments you normally see in beater bars, which I believe definitively added to the device’s pick-up capabilities. I had to empty the canister multiple times during a single sweep of the house, which is not a bad thing, it’s a testament to the amount of hair this was picking up versus the other vacuum I had in the house. The device is very lightweight and well-balanced for use. The beater bar at the end of the vacuum turns on a dime with just a simple twist of the handle and is extremely maneuverable. The device has 2 power settings, one for carpet and one for hardwood, and has a “turbo” trigger you can pull to get extra power in either of those modes for harder to pick up dirt. You can remove the beater bar from the end and attach either an upholstery accessory or the usual blade-like crevice tool, connecting either to the extension piece for longer reach or remove the extension and connect directly to the handle for up close cleaning. The canister is easy to remove for cleaning and easy to click back into place. Battery life is pretty good, getting more than 30 minutes of cleaning without issue, even using turbo on occasion. Shark touts about 40 minutes of cleaning, but with my apartment I never approached 40 minutes of use. If you have a larger home, you may want to purchase an extra battery to ensure you can get thru a cleaning without having to stop to recharge. Charge time was about 1 hour using the included cord, which plugs directly in to the battery on the unit. Cons: The beater bar is loud, almost sounding like an engine that’s about to throw a rod. This isn’t something you’re going to be able to use when the baby is sleeping. Without the beater bar attachment it is substantially quieter. The suction tube diameter is fairly narrow. While this isn’t a problem for picking up dog hair & other regular dirt or smaller debris spilled, larger items will not pass thru to the canister. I tried picking up a couple of spilled Styrofoam peanuts from a box with the device and it got stuck just past the beater bar at the far end of the extension tube. So I would have liked to see a slightly larger diameter suction tube for those occasional larger debris jobs. Also, I wish the device came with a battery charger station like other brands do. I just like the idea of a dockable battery versus one laying around with another cord plugged in to it. But overall, this device does exactly what it claims to do – get your pet hair vacuumed up and does it with incredible efficiency. I was extremely impressed with the results.

It was a Great deal for a cordless and works really well!

Makes cleaning my hard floors so easy! Cleans up the dog hair wonderfully! Love how light it is and easy to transition into a hand vac!

So disappointed in this vac. It doesn’t even have a pet brush for the small hand held portion which is extremely long and bulky. The suction is almost non existent. It does have a light. If I had kept the box I would have returned and purchased the Dyson.

It is very light weight and works good as a handheld. However picking things up off the carpet is a struggle. I purchased this vacuum because it said it was great for pet hair and carpets. I think my shark lift away works a lot better.

This vacuum is convenient for small clean up when it is charged. The suction is not that great and I was a little disappointed. I am going to use this in my camper instead of everyday house use. I don’t think it was worth the money.

I brought this to pick up pet hair, works great. Works great on hard floors and carpet, picks up very well.

I have a Dyson, but after a few years gave me some issues with the battery (I bought a new battery online); but I want another vacuum for my second floor. I decided to try this because a friend told me he loves shark. It works great, love the price (way cheaper), and do the work! - great product for the price.

Best lightweight vacuum!! Goes under hard to reach places and the bristle don’t tangle

Love it. Light and not that loud. Does it’s job and glad I went this route instead of getting the dyson

Great vacuum, suction is strong, picks up bigger debris and I love that the hair doesn't tangle around the brush. I just wish the bottom was a little thinner to fit under the cabinets. Overall, very satisfied! I have been using it daily for around a month now and it is the same as the first time I used it
