Rocket Pet Corded Stick Vacuum HV302

i’ve had the shark rocket pet corded stick vacuum for years, with the previous two years spent with a dog who sheds A Lot. it’s light, has a long cord, comes with diff attachment heads and converts to handheld. zero complaints provided i keep up with cleaning the filters and brushroll every so often. it’s half off at target rn, and i know some of their more expensive models are also marked down. i’ll also throw in that the bissell spot cleaner is a lifesaver—worth it if you spot it on sale this week!

I’m obsessed with my Shark, [this one](https://a.co/d/iSSnV1i) seems to be on sale right now (idk if it’ll come up for you as I’m in the US but it’s Shark Rocket Ultra-Light). I wouldn’t waste my time with a cordless tbh and would really recommend a normal size vacuum for effectiveness, but this is also a good option for a small place if you’re not willing to get a full size.

I have a Shark Pet Pro Stick that plugs in, and it's really great on my hardwood floors and area rugs. I can't speak to super longevity yet, I've had it since 2023 with no issues. I used to have a Riccar, which is one of the good (but not quite Miele expensive) brands, and it was incredible- but it was also really heavy, and cumbersome. For me, regardless of how "good" the appliance is, the best one is the one I actually use. This and the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser handheld are my super duo. I have a short-haired dog who sheds like crazy and a maine coon. The tumblefuzz happens quickly if I skip a cleaning day.

I'd avoid cordless stick vacuums because they can only run for 10-15 minutes on high, so you'd run into a lot of run time issues. I think a corded stick vacuum might be your best option if you are walking or using public transport to jobs. There aren't a lot of great options but I'd probably choose a Shark Rocket HV300C or HV370C. It's not the most durable but it's corded so you won't have run time limits. I'd avoid the Shark Ultralight and Shark PowerDetect because they have much smaller bins and a triangle where dirt gets stuck inside the bin. If you are using a car, I'd definitely look for better corded vacuums like a Sebo Felix. One mobile cleaner uses a foldable shopping cart so they are able to fit a larger vacuum like a Kenmore Intuition. What do you think?

I have a few ideas: 1. Small corded shoulder vacuum. Oreck compact canister, Hoover Portapower, or Simplicity S100. These are small bagged canister vacuums that you must hold or use a shoulder strap. Suction-only so they're good on hard floors, just ok on rugs/carpets, no carpet powerhead. 2. A corded stick vacuum. Shark Rocket or similar. Many have carpet powerheads. Not the most durable vacuums. Bagless maintenance required means regularly washing the filters. 3. A small upright vacuum. Kenmore Intuition. It's a small bagged upright vacuum. It's as narrow as a cordless stick vacuum. The liftaway mode means you can separate the pieces for travel. It's lightweight but also not the most durable vacuum. The Kenmore Intuition is the most capable vacuum cleaner for hard floors and carpets of these options but also the takes up the most space on your cart. What do you think?

I’ve had three Dyson Animal Stick vacuums that I liked enough to replace (refurbs each time) but I’d never depend on them as my only vacuum. Good for quick pickups. Bought a refurb Shark Rocket (with the plug) for a small cabin and I actually prefer it to the Dyson—especially LED lights on the head.

NO. Get the shark! I regret my Dyson purchase so much. This week I used a family members wired shark rocket and it was amazing. Switching back to wired shark from wireless Dyson as soon as I can afford to replace.

Yup, shark is great. I got a wired one because I can’t stand a dying battery when I need to do chores, but I hear the battery ones are good. Look for sales on them at Canadian tire or London drugs.
