Shark - Rocket® Pro DLX Corded Stick Vacuum

Shark Rocket Deluxe Pro ( the Maroon one) https://preview.redd.it/d60l8bkq5ive1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0efc36e9277e8b91377e499670d852cad036d0ac Mine is about 8 yrs old now and still picks up great.

I think they have a new model now.. so hair won’t wrap in the roller part. I definitely would clog mine up and have to cut the hair off the roller after awhile - when I had 2 cats and 2 long haired dogs.

Shark rocket pet delux i use one at home & i have 4 cats i have another i use for my cleaning business which includes some industrial shop settings with some narly heavy dust. Even with heavy use i haven't been able to kill one & the little things i have broke were easy to repair. I always stick with the corded ones the battery ones are lacking in power. Edit im going on 4 years with the business one & i just replaced the filters it still works like new.

I have a shark rocket pro. It's a rechargeable stick vac with a detachable hand held. It's pretty powerful and comes with a crevice tool and brush. It's not very heavy either so I will pick it up and use the regular vacuum part on the couch, it has a bristle roller brush. You also have the option to turn the roller on and off so fur doesn't fly away when doing hard floors. I also use quilt type blankets to cover the couch so the fur doesn't get embedded and I can switch them out to wash. I've seen a lot of good reviews for a chom chom roller thing but I don't know how well it would do on embedded fur. The covers have made a huge difference. And if you don't like having them on all the time just take them off when guests come or when they aren't shedding as bad. I also have a eufy robot vac that I have set to run twice a day. I have hard floors throughout and not a huge house so it does an amazing job. It's crazy how much fur short hair pups can shed. And of course brushing whenever you can will obviously help some. I have an off brand furminater.

I bought a Shark Rocket Pro with XL dust bin for $119 on Amazon.

I got a Hoto vacuum but it developed a problem where the vacuum cup attachment would not twist on and stay on the body. However their customer service (after I sent them a video of the problem) is good and they sent me a brand new full unit even though they could have just sent me the attachment. I also bought a Shark handvac in the mean time and that works very well too.

I don't think they are a known vacuum brand. They make a variety of tools. I have their screwdriver too. [https://hototools.com](https://hototools.com) This is what I have. [https://hototools.com/products/compressed-air-capsule](https://hototools.com/products/compressed-air-capsule) The hoto is compact so I was keeping it with my coffee gear. I bought the Shark Wandvac as soon as the Hoto broke and while I was interacting with Hoto's customer service. The Shark works fine and has a bigger chamber. The draw back of the Shark is I can't just leave it with my coffee stuff in the kitchen and it uses a special cradle to charge. The Hoto charges over USB-C. The Hoto also works as a blower so you can attach a bunch of nozzles it comes with on the opposite end to blow out stuff or inflate flotation devices etc. Suction wise both are the same. I haven't even opened the new Hoto package and it has been a few months.

I got a (corded) handheld Shark last week. It has revealed that I am a pig who has been living in her own filth for 5 years.

Corded shark rocket works for us.

We have a shark rocket, corded. It's got more power than you would believe. You see everything it gets because clear canister no bags. I would not get a cordless.

This. My Shark corded Rocket? I think it amazing. I have a house that eats vacuums. I’ve had my Shark for years now.

Yep. I hated my cordless Dyson. I couldn’t even get through the living room because I have cats and used the deep clean setting and went slow to get all the hair. It would die after 15 minutes. I bought a corded Shark Rocket and love it as much as one can love a vacuum. The cord is super long so it’s not an unplug/plug situation.

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.

I've used that one at a couple houses. Neither had a lot of pet hair, so I couldn't comment on the hair situation. I do agree though it's a good vacuum and the cord is nice!

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…

Sharks are GENERALLY unfixable. I don't think they're necessarily THE WORST for the money, but theyre certainly not made tp last. I happen tp have a corded Shark Rocket at my office. Its fantastic. It's also made by a contract manufacturer for Shark and as a result, was a pain in the ass when I bought it and needed it fixed under warranty. Shark ended up sending me a new vacuum instead of fixing what I sent them. Meanwhile... my Miele C3 Cat and Dog has been a workhorse for the last 8 years. I've had it serviced once. If I need a major repair, almost all vacuum places can fix it or refer me quickly to a place that can. Miele also has its own competent repair network. For me, fixability/durability is very worth paying a little extra. Buy once, cry once, you know? The Miele C3 is a HEPA vacuum with multiple filters. I have allergies. The C3 has been life-changing (less sneezing). I can't get that level of clean from Shark at home. Consumer Reports ... they're reviewing products in the current calendar/model year. Brands like Miele or Sebo or Henry... don't churn out new products quickly. They sell a couple really fantastic goods, with new models when necessary. I'm curious what their selection method for comparison was for this list.

For that price? Get it, OP!!! BRAND NEW for under $100: Shark Rocket **CORDED.** It's the only cheap vacuum I will ever recommend because its durable, LOTS OF ATTACHMENTS, and it does the freaking job for cheap. *No frills, just reliable suction for cheap.* You can also try to find a used Miele or Sebo.

CORDED Shark Rocket. Its just under $100. **The cordless Shark Rocket sucks ass.** For whatever reason, the CORDED Shark Rocket does more than reasonably well on carpet, given the price. Buy extra filters for the Rocket and change them like once a month, or more frequently. Be sure to dump the dust from it.

My corded shark rocket is about 9 lbs, which isnt much. When the carpet roller attachment is on, most of the weight is distributed there..... definitely less heavy than OP's Bissell

I'm probably in that mix. I don't *hate* Shark, per se. I have a *corded* Shark Rocket in my office that's been there for 12 years. It's.... not exactly doing heavy cleaning. Insofar as it does that extremely minimal amount of office floor vacuuming with low performance expectations.... its great. THIS is the use case. The Shark Rocket ended up *in the office* because it is NOT cut out for all aspects of household vacuuming. No way. No how. No ma'am! I bought a Miele C3 Cat and Dog 10 years ago and haven't looked back. I saved a ton of money buying accessories/attachments used. It's truly the finest "all around household vacuum" I have EVER used. Like the air SMELLS DIFFERENT before and after vacuuming. Miele and Sebo are expensive, though. Not everyone can afford that price point, and they deserve clean floors too! For a cheap NEW vacuum, Sharks start at about $100-150. They're okay, compared to other NEW vacuums *at that price.* They cannot be easily repaired- set long term use expectations extremely low. Personally I think if OP has cash money and doesnt need a vacuum urgently... spend a week or 2 cruising used ads on marketplace or Craigslist and buy a USED Miele C1 or a used Sebo for about $150.

\*Update\* Decided to go with a Shark Rocket Ultra-Light Stick! Let me tell you....it is amazing to replace a broom with. It is not the best for high pile carpet which I am kind of bummed about but it makes up for that since you can detach the top and use it for dusting or furniture! It is a must have for pets!

Yeah the shark rocket vacuum is great

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.

We have 3 of their rocket stick vacs - the oldest is probably 15 years old. They have been great, although they seem to have redesigned it so I don't know how it is now. I bought my brother one a few years ago because he liked mine so much, and I sent him a pack of refill filters, too, and the filters don't fit. That's how I know they changed it.

Shark Rocket for life!!! Stick vac with 30ft cord, washable filters, lightweight, pet hair, carpet to no carpet, amazing for stairs…, I can’t say enough good things about it. Affordable to boot!

It has a 30ft cord, no battery, and I love that about it because batteries die. I have been disappointed by all cordless vacuums in homes over 1,200 sqft. The long cord means I have a great range and am never troubled by low power.

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.

How many times have you seen this exact issue posted about the exact vacuum? That's all you need to know about Shark.

You'll have to buy a generic part from Amazon or something because Shark doesn't sell one. Your best bet is to buy a vacuum that has support from the manufacturer. What's your flooring?

I used a Shark Rocket when I lived in a 600 square foot cottage for 5 years. It was excellent for that purpose but now that I’m in a 2500+ square foot home I’m back to my Oreck XL21. I wouldn’t trade it for anything and it’s probably 15-20 years old now

Handheld vacuums are typically the smaller options that you would use for small nooks and crannies, and things like your car. For your apartment, you probably want something bigger.  Does it have to be cordless? Vacuums with a cord will be more powerful. When I was looking, I was specifically looking for “stick” vacuums for my small apartment, because I don’t have a ton of storage and needed something I could shove in my coat closet.  I found [this database of vacuums](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jcYjwx_fqSUOVxAn4F_UbbskkHCNPiPU48CZRgM4eAg/edit?gid=0#gid=0) that you can sort by type, and I ended up with the Shark Rocket. It works great, so far! It was cheap too, under $150 USD.

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.

Hey, I own a Shark myself and I have no problems with it yet. My last Shark was a Shark Rocket that broke after about 6 years. Still, reviewsvacuum's YouTube channel is very informative about all kinds of vacuums. He has a huge collection of vacuums and is very knowledgable about repairing all kinds of vacuums. Of course he is biased, as he makes a living off of selling specific brands of vacuums and repairing those that are brought to his shop. Of course he isn't going to like vacuums that are unrepairable because that means he gets no business. You can't really fault him for that. To be honest, is it really so great for consumers, either? Not really, unless you are okay with having a disposable vacuum. There is nothing wrong with having vacuums that only last a few years and can't be repaired if that is all you can afford. I have learned a lot from him about making better choices in the future, though. I like my Shark Stratos but it was $450 when I bought it and I understand now that I kind of got ripped off. Now that I have been here for a while, if I could do it again I would have got a bagged machine and saved money. I am saving up for a Miele or Sebo (haven't decided yet - that is why I am still here and reading) because the next vacuum I buy I want it to be the last one I ever have to purchase and I want to make the correct decision for me. I really like vacuum cleaners and think they are an important appliance in the home. They help keep us healthy and they are pretty fun.

Shark rocket. Hands down.

I love the Shark Rocket. I’m on my second one, first one lasted almost 8 years. 3 dogs, more than half the house then was carpet.

Personal opinion, I ask my clients to provide a solid, efficient working vacuum. All of my clients have one except for one and I bring my company vacuum. They are charged a nominal maintenance fee because it’s time consuming to clean a vacuum and care for it. It’s not good to have a community vacuum and definitely dicey if they aren’t the cleanest people. I’ve got one client who has a severe allergy to pet dander and others who have multiple dogs. Nobody has a shared anything and my clients appreciate that. Personal opinion aside, because I use many vacuums I’ve been fortunate enough to figure out which ones are great and which ones are terrible. A lot of it is just personal preference however, Shark is still the leader for me. They have some pretty great vacuums, equally great attachments and are really easy to maintain and care for. I don’t care for the cordless models but the Shark Rocket corded model is one that I use for clients if they need a vacuum. My own personal vacuum is a Shark Navigator. I just keep going back to it because it’s so good. Dyson is decent but heavy. The Dyson Animal works well but it’s super bulky and difficult to carry up stairs. They make a cordless model that has a great battery life on one - that version is 4 or 5 years old and is FAR better than their newest model that has the green light bar on the head of the vac. Max 45 minutes run time so you’ve got to be real careful about when and how long you use it without having to charge it again. A lot of the cordless models also have the charging stations so you’ll have to buy multiple batteries if you travel with it. If you’re going to invest in a vacuum though, Miele is a terrific brand. Not talked about enough but it’s by far the Porsche of vacuums. It is the lightest vacuum I have ever used. The suction is adjustable, it’s ridiculously quiet and they last forever! It’s a canister vac and can be difficult to get used to BUT…I’ve never used a better vacuum. There are a few cleaners in here who use the Sebo backpack vacuums and I know they ride real hard for them! I’m sure one of them will show up soon 😂 Other frontrunners are Bissell. The Clearview is lightweight, easy to use and has great attachments. Comes in a bagged version as well. Hoover has come back into the game recently and they have a pretty stellar vacuum that is comparable to the Shark Navigator. I avoid water vacuums at all costs. Just not practical. I’m sure this is far too much to now think about but now you know 😎

I think this is a fair assessment of the Dart.https://www.reddit.com/r/VacuumCleaners/s/CptdbfcM4y Cost of ownership is a bit higher than suggested by those that suggest it. I would add on another $60 to $80 a year for the filters. If it lasts the mythical 20 years, I haven't seen one posted here. I would calculate the cost at -- $600 for purchas of vacuum, $1800 (60*20), 4 service visits ($400). This is a cost of at least $2800. If you want to maintain an optimum suction. You need to change the bag more often in my experience with the Sebo e3. I had a Shark Rocket that lasted at least 12 years. I've had lift away from Shark that are 5+ years and going strong. I've gifted to others. In your situation, I wouldnt hesitate to by a mid range shark or a Henry or any brand.

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’ve got the same one, honestly. That exact spot is absolutely awful for stuff getting stuck in there. It’ll get clogged and then there’s no suction, so you gotta tear it apart and clean it out pretty regularly. GL OP

Shark 100%. I have 9 cats (2 Longhair) and vacuum every day. I've had my shark for a good 8 years. Use it every day, just change the filters and keep the roller clean.

Rocket. I have mostly hardwood floors but does great on low pile carpet as well

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.

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

our Shark is still going strong after 6 or 7 years. I have made it a habit to clean it quite often. We have 2 other shedding beasts along with our corgi. So, by often, I mean I vacuum every other day. So I clean the vacuum after every use. Outside of coarse. I need to buy stock in the compressed air can company.

Shark, always sharks. Best I’ve ever used, clean regularly and they will last forever. I prefer stick style (corded) I clean 2-3 jobs per day and it has not let me down yet. East to sanitize between homes as well. Full cleaning takes about 5-10 minutes at home and I do that once a week, but sanitize after each use when I am working.

If you really need to clean carpets, you need corded. None of the cordless options in your price range are going to properly clean a carpet. The shark corded sticks - avoid avoid avoid. They block up for fun. You'll be cleaning the filters constsntly to maintain suction. Of your above choices, the hoover upright is the best one. If you want to save more money, get a vax air. They are relatively cheap, and while they lack a lot of the fancier features, they clean carpets very very well. They have aggressive brushes which agitate and groom surprisingly well for the price.

I appreciate the relatively long back and forth your question spawned…. The real answer is I didn’t spend enough time to check. We’ve since moved to a new place with multiple floors and more laminate flooring than carpet so we ended up getting a new Shark corded stick vacuum for a bit over $100 on clearance. It’s half the weight and way easier to slog up and down stairs.

Corded shark stick vac. Not as powerful but man they're easy to move around. I also have a more powerful shark that's a traditional canister. Not as easy to move around but the suction is noticeably stronger.

I’ve used my sister’s Dyson and own Sharks. I prefer my Sharks. We have a cordless stick, a corded stick (used the most), and a Liftaway. They all work really well, I just got sick of hauling the Liftaway up and down stairs so we got the correcting.

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.

The Shark Stick Vac does a great job. You can get it cordless or with a cord. If you end up with the Ryobi, you could always get a tool that has the same battery and use for the vacuum. I love all of my Ryobi outdoor tools. I have a lot of different tools, including the zero turn mower and push mower, plus a lot of hand tools. They all work great. The leaf vacuum does a great job mulching, too.

I’ve had the same Shark stick vac for 15 years. It’s nothing special, and there are some functionality features I’d change, but it works well. I only use it on hard floors. It’s quick and convenient. I use it daily in the kitchen. It fits underneath the cabinets where my upright doesn’t.

We have a Shark stick vac that is pretty dopefor smaller jobs If you all have power tools with swappable batteries (like Ryobi, DeWalt, etc) check out what vacuum offerings they might have

I have a shark stick vac, Rocket going on 10. Dropped it off a truck, so we have to tape the dirt cup closed. I keep waiting for it to die so I can get a cordless one but it just keeps sucking.

I've always found them to be hype. Used to have a Dyson corded that I got from my dad second hand. it was good, until I decided to replace it with a Shark corded. The first time I used the shark, you'd have thought I'd never hoovered the carpet, honestly the amount of engrained hair and dust it pulled out was insane in comparison to the Dyson which looked like it was doing a good job, it's not that it didn't pick anything up but I would say the recovery rate was probably 65% in comparison to the shark. I then bought the shark stick handheld and was using that but when I split with my ex it stayed at the house. My new partner has a Dyson V8 and it's crap in comparison, there is stuff I know my shark would of picked up easily and the Dyson struggles. I also have a V7 my dad gave me which I just replaced the battery on as that had got to the point where it would only run for 30seconds before switching off so will see how it is with the new battery but tbh don't hold high hopes.

Agree. My Shark pet-friendly corded vacuum beautifully handles both my cats (one with med/long hair), as well as my own very long hair. I’ve had it ~4yrs. (Meanwhile my brother does nothing but complain about his Dyson pet.)

I’ve had a corded shark pet vacuum for probably 9-10 years. It still works great. I definitely recommend a shark.

I don't recommend shark. We bought it, it's alright, but we still use our corded shark for the heavy lifting.

Corded Shark, I got my second one after 10 years. We have dogs, cats and kids. It does very well, would recommend.

I have a corded Shark. It sucks... but in a good way.

You may get different answers, but I don't think so. I've got a shark now, and don't find it works any differently than my old dyson, and it was quite a bit cheaper. I prefer corded models though, so not sure about other models.

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.

Got one. Thought it was pretty good. Suction started getting worse and worse. Had to replace dust door gasket. Paper filter became uncleanable after a while. After many complaints my ex finally went and bought a cheap ass Shark corded vac that was very similar. Difference was dramatic. Shark got lots of crap Ryobi couldn’t handle. This happened over about two years so it probably worked ok out of the box.

I have a shark corded for a few years now. Very happy with it. Just make sure you clean the filters regularly and maintain it and they're fantastic, same goes for most vacuums ,most go to shite cos people don't maintain them properly

I've had two Ryobi stick vacs for several years. I don't know whether the design has changed, but the part on the end of the brush is plastic, and as it spins it generates heat and starts to melt, and then gets noisy and smelly. I only feel safe using it for several minutes at a time. I have two precisely because they sent me another one when the first one had this problem. I feel like I may have replaced the head a second time already. Would NOT buy again. I love my corded Shark.

I just got a shark for my new apartment, but when we actually get a house we'll probably go with a sebo. Finally did upgrade to a corded though, lol.

Yeah my corded Shark is a beast! It’s been going strong for many years now. Longest I’ve ever owned a vacuum cleaner.

My experience is similar but not fair. My brother has a Dyson battery powered and he swears by them. So he buys a new one every four years or so. We had our first coffee shark for at least ten years. I shopped for months last year between Dyson, shark, Mielle, and another he and like Mielle I cannot remember their name. Anyway, after using them all it came down to a formula from my Public policy class - I could get almost 90% of the performance from a shark for only $249, or spend $700 for 100%. I was willing to spend up to $1000 but it just didn’t make sense. Shark gets everything I need at a fraction of the cost.

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 my corded Shark vacuum. I just bought a new one after the one I had for 8yrs broke. Tho old one still works but the hose finally cracked. I could have rigged it with tape but I honestly wanted an excuse to buy another lol

I also got the corded one and I love it.

Everyone here saying they love their LG CordZero but I can’t stand mine. But then again I haven’t had anything to compare to in the cordless stick vacuums area. My simple Shark corded vacuum I use on carpets is just so much better and easier to use. But it’s not as convenient as the cordless sticks. I was about to buy a Dyson V10 from Costco that’s on sale for $399. Maybe I’ll reconsider

I love my shark! It's been great with 2 dogs & 1 cat. Mine is corded and I will never go back to cordless. I vacuumed 3 times when I first got it because it was just filling up, I was so embarrassed.

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

I have both. We live on a small farm with kids and a dog so lots of vacuuming! We use the cordless stick for quick messes like crumbs or dog hair and then the Shark corded for regular twice a week vacuuming. With the Shark make sure you clean the air filter every couple weeks or it starts to lose alot of suction. I actually have a rainbow vacuum too that I had previous to any of the others but it's so heavy and burdensome I rarely use it.

Buying the upper range of Shark corded is definitely better. I've owned both. I like Dyson stick vacuum products but wouldn't own one as my primary vacuum in a large residence. In a smaller residence with no pets I could see a great argument for a primary stick vacuum and a shop vac backup for glass breaks.

Really like the dyson cordless! Didnt buy the fanciest. Bought a shark corded and absolutely hate it after using the other.

We’ve got a corded shark and it’s amazing and has lasted 5 years and still going strong. We also have a Dyson but feel the shark cleans the carpets better 

I bought a corded shark to replace an aging Dyson animal and it was way better, just the bog standard £120 lift away one.

Same with me. Had a cord break but had been running great until then. Replaced it with another Shark

I have a Dyson V10 cordless. I had a shark cordless forget the name but it was the top range 2-3 years ago, and that was better then the Dyson. I have now got a shark corded vacuum, going back to corded was and unbelievably eye turning move, I will never get a battery vac again unless it's a robot vacuum, but I can highly recommend shark in general, but I would recommend corded over battery as the power difference and pickup on high pile carpet is much better

I second this. We have a corded shark and it is great. We bought the LG chargeable vac and it was awful. Wouldn't pick up the litter at all.
