Shark - Rocket TruePet Ultra-Light Upright (HV322)

I find uprights to heavy.  I love the Shark Rockets.  Light weight,  swivel head, 2 head lights, removable head for attachments or remove wand for hand held.  I buy a couple at a time when I see a great sale price.  I also always by corded.

If in the U.S., purchase Shop-Vac 12 Gallon. Minimum 6 HP. Anything less than 6 HP has significantly less suction power. I use this vacuum in my home and for our cars. This vacuum comes with many tools. Suction power leaves no dirt behind of any kind plus you can vacuum up water with this vacuum too! I’ve had my Shop-Vac for 18 years following witnessing tradespeople use this vacuum in my home following construction work. No dust, no dirt crumbs left behind! I’ve vacuumed up many gallons of water following hurricanes in 2016 and 2018! Be sure to purchase the HEPA filters. These filters last much longer and are far better for air quality in your home and cars. This vacuum is light to lift, carry up and down stairs and has wheels to roll vacuum from room to room. I love it. I vacuum my mattresses before turning monthly. I use this vacuum for deep-vacuuming prior to carpet and floor steam-cleaning. Second vacuum choice is Shark Rocket TruePet vacuum - HV322. We foster and rescue kittens and cats. This vacuum is super-light, never loses suction, super easy to empty the dirt cup. This vacuum gets up all of the cat hair! This vacuum also comes with tools. All are easy to use and leave no dirt behind! I received this vacuum as a gift following our first kitten rescue 20 years ago. This vacuum still works as if brand-new. Be sure to change your filter. Key to strong suction for dirt and pet hair removal.

Oh boy you constantly learn new things as a vegan 😅 so I have a shark. I think it’s a rocket? I really like it because I have a lot of carpet in my apartment and I have to vacuum a lot. I also have broken like…4 vacuums with my hair. It sounds crazy but my hair is really long and thick and it will literally wrap around and strangle the bristles 😅 so I feel like it’s pretty good. Idk if it’s vegan though I think you’d prob have to email them.

I’m a professional cleaner. Sharks all the way. I love my shark rocket stick vacuum. I love my shark navigator for carpet. Had a shark handheld that I used daily for years. You could easily get two of these for less than the price of a Dyson. Dysons are mid. THAT BEING SAID, I ADORE my Hoover porta-vac. Its suction is insane for hard floors. Has a bunch of useful attachments. Super long cord. Can’t get enough of that thing and it’s $125 on Amazon.

We have 2 cats (used to have 3) and have used shark for years. We've had many sharks over the years. Specifically the lift away, power lift away, navigator I think it's called and then a rocket. Rocket died in like 3 years but the lift away lasted almost a decade. the power lift away can't remember but I think it lasted a few years. Navigator I can't remember lmfao. Currently we have a dirt devil "endura reach" I think it's called and a Kirby avalir. Both are pretty good. Endura reach has a pretty short cord tho. But most sharks or some have anti hair wrap technology on their brush rolls. That's already worth every penny if you've got cats. So I'd look at a shark if you've got pets. Hope this helps.

The Shark Rocket is amazing for cleaning up hard wood and upholstery!

I have the shark it breaks down and that's why I love it. I could have more of a suction tho but still works great. I forgot what kind ok went and looked it is a shark rocket... when i get another it would be shark and it would be a retractable cord... not cordless a when we are doing cleanings we don't have time for a vacuum to be found dead on us and sometimes we will have like 5 cleanings a day. So 40 to 60 mins isn't long enough

I live my shark! I have the corded stick one. It’s great for a small house.

A stick vacuum isn't going to be effective for thoroughly cleaning carpeting. It is okay for quick pickups but that is about it. I had a Shark corded stick vacuum for 6 years as my main vacuum and it didn't clean my carpeting well at all. I have a corded Shark Stratos now. It does a way better job than the Shark stick vacuum. However, my next vacuum will be a bagged machine. I hate washing the filters and emptying the dust cup.

We have 5 cats and foster 5-7 more at all times. Tons of hair, dust, cat litter on carpet and on wood floors, not to mention the people mess added to that. We have two bagless Shark corded ultralight vacuums with the pet hair roller - zero hair gets wrapped around it. We have had them for three years (one upstairs and one downstairs,) and I have never had to cut hair off the roller, which was about once a week with the Dyson, even with their pet brush. Tons of pick up power. I use them daily and no issues with either one. The filters are cleanable, but I replace them about twice a year for about $25 for each vacuum. Best vacuum I have ever had. I replaced a similar Dyson vacuum with these two, and these have much more power, are lighter, more maneuverable, and cost me less for both than for the one Dyson($699 compared to $299 each.) I replace a Miele (around $600) with the Dyson about two years before that. The Dyson was better than the Miele, but the cutting hair off the roller absolutely sucked - same issue with the Miele. Even with tons of attachments, $1200 for a non robot vacuum is ridiculous.

shark duel pet ain’t in here good. don’t buy it. terrible suction power and doesn’t do 2in1 job well

I have a shark but I can't think of the model but I feel like it was specifically for pets. I have a long haired german shepherd, and it works well even with her fur. My last vacuum was regularly jammed by her fur.

After having a Dyson stick, I opted to get an LG. It does a fantastic job for hundreds less. I have a corded Shark for pets, probably close to 10 years old I use it a couple times a week. Other than new filters and keeping it clean I’ve never had any issue with the Shark.

I’m in sort of of the same boat. My wife trains service dogs and we have 5 dogs (and 3 kids) in the house. Also, because 5 dogs, my back yard is a mud farm and everything is coated in a layer of dirt. We have a tinneco pure 1 (it’s a stick vacuum with a base compartment). We vacuum the main part of the house where the dogs are (living room, laundry, entry, kitchen dining room). The living room really is the place we vacuum, 3-4 times a day but everything listed gets hit at least once a day (maybe twice in rainy days). We decided that making vacuuming convenient was more important than doing it super well (cause let’s face it, it’s gonna be dirty again in 5 minutes) and reliability took a back seat to convenience. So for us convenience > reliability > performance. We didn’t think ANY vacuum would make our floors 100% clean, so we didn’t try. Just get them 80% and but clean often. Then we mop probably every day or every other day…..(why do we have this many dogs again?) THEN we keep a corded shark in the basement where we keep their kennels. The shark is 5 years old and it sucks up everything but it’s heavy, so it stays in the basement) we also use this one to vacuum their kennels. We found that doing some work on our yard and cleaning the dogs as they come in, helped a ton. We still haven’t found a great solution yet. I rambled a lot. If you have any questions or suggestions for us. Let me know.

Shark Cordless (don’t remember model number but was great on hardwood, horrible on the rugs). We also tried variety if stains (cordless and corded) from friends and they all failed. Currently we’ve gone back to a 10+ year old corded shark that performs ok, not great. But very heavy and cumbersome. Main floor for house is 50/50 hardwoods and rugs. Rugs are thin bc they are all washable (pets). Upstairs is wall to wall carpet but gated off to keep pets downstairs. Budget…honestly anything at this point. I guess I’d like to keep it under $700 but at this point I really don’t even care. We haven’t tried any canisters, open to that is they aren’t too cumbersome, I have RA, so easy to maneuver is pretty important.

I LOVE the Shark corded vacuum. Easiest to clean, switch out parts, consistent suction, power not limited by battery. Win-win!

Get a Shark. So much better than a Dyson as a fraction of the cost and their attachments use synthetic bristles. We had a top of the range cordless Dyson and we’ve had multiple corded Dysons and they’ve all been terrible. This corded Shark one I’ve got now is amazing, most powerful vac I’ve ever used. In general I’d avoid cordless vacs unless you live in a tiny place, otherwise it won’t even clean your full house before it needs charging.
