Rocket® Pro DLX Corded Stick Vacuum

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.

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 think I understand why you didn't like the Sebo K3. With the carpet powerhead it doesn't clean hard floors the best and it is an extra step to put on the parquet brush and switch back. Some people just don't like how corded canister vacuums manuever which is totally fair too. It's quite a difference from stick vacuum to canister. I agree and think you should check out the Kenmore Intuition. It's a small upright vacuum about the same width as a stick vacuum. It has swivel steering and liftaway mode. It has the added benefits of a hepa bag, a hose and tools, and it can stand upright. Downsides are a short hose and limited tool storage on board, there's only 2 spots and many models give you 3-4 tools. I also agree and I think you should look at a new corded Shark Rocket. I'm not a fan of Shark vacuums but if you find it works the best for you then that's the most important. The more expensive Sharks are less reliable because they have more parts and electronics that break. They have also made it harder to clean and repair their machines. But if you've been able to keep a Shark Rocket going for 8 years then you know how to keep it running. The more problematic Sharks are the ones with dual brushrolls and cordless vacuums. My prefernce would be a Sebo Felix, but that is bigger and heavier and it also has the extra steps of switching between powerhead and parquet brush. I like that I can take it apart and order the exact replacement parts. I think if you want something just like your old Shark Rocket check the Kenmore Intuition and a new corded Shark Rocket. Thoughts?

I would look for your exact model. If you still have it look for the information sticker near the motor and look for the model number. Otherwise, look for a standard brushroll; it cleans better than the blades, and it's more reliable than the duo clean brushrolls. The Shark Rocket Pro DLX HV371 looks like it has the standard brushroll and headlights. It might not last long so keep your receipt.

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…

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.

hey, i totally get the struggle. i had a cheap vacuum too, and it was just a pain. i’ve been using the [shark rocket pro](https://oklookup.com/review/shark-rocket-pro-vacuum/) lately and honestly, it’s been pretty solid. super light, which is great for those stairs you mentioned, and it has a detachable handheld feature that makes cleaning easier. the dust bin is decent too, but it can fill up kinda quick, so you gotta empty it often. just a bit annoying, but overall it’s been a good investment. the others you listed are alright but this one's been my go-to. good luck!
