Rocket Stick Vacuum HV302

I’m crazy about my Shark Rocket. I bought a new one when my old one broke (it was my fault!! The prong on the plug broke). The best damn vacuum I’ve ever owned. I think I’ll go use it now lol

I would never spend that much on a vacuum either, an I vacuum every single day. I think $190-$260 range gives many amazing options. I’m thrilled with my shark rocket ultra. Liked it so much I bought a new one when my old one broke from the plug prong breaking

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?

Good to know thanks for pointing out that they changed. I’m here because my 8 year old rocket stick vac has officially died. I wasn’t sure if I should stick with it or try something new. It went to an early grave because contractors in my old apartment used it as a shop vac…

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.

Shark Rocket Pro Deluxe. The maroon one. It’s easy and comfortable to use, and it’s a monster. Best thing for stairs (get the attachment) sand leaves no cat hair behind. A work friend recommended hers to me some years when I asked her about stairs. I bless her every time I used it. I have 2. I bought a third for the 3rd floor but I got the ultralight pet version. It’s ok but not as good. You can get for deep discounts on amazon. Keep watching. They ‘ll probably discount it soon for the holidays.

Totally agree with other poster. I actually have a shark Rocket corded stick vac that's going on 13 years old and works like a champ (under $200, usually $150)..to augment my $1100 Aerus canister which I rarely pull out.....when Shark dies (unless I do first, lol)..I'll start getting my money's worth by forcing myself to use the canister! cheers!

Kenmore Intuition best......if must be a Shark, Shark Rocket corded

I think you can still get corded Shark Rockets. Mine is 13 years old still works like a champ (I do maintain it).

Sharks are great. We have a corded, stick vac and a handheld one in our house and they all work well. Great suction, easy to clean and decent battery lives.
