Shark - UltraLight PetPro Corded Stick Vacuum HZ702

My wife is totally in love with her Shark Pet Pro corded. It is lightweight but has enough power to actually lift the carpet. Honestly, it is a good little vacuum. It's $250cdn.

I agree, I have a shark also and they are GREAT VACUUMS!!! It might be the pet-pro, but I don’t remember it’s exact name and I’m not home to check. It’s the one specifically for pets because I have 2 cats with lots of fur also. I kid you not, I have had this vacuum for coming up on 10 YEARS this summer and it still works and looks like the day I bought it with normal upkeep, and the only thing I’ve needed to replace is the filters (it has 3 different ones) which I buy on Amazon for super cheap!

Hi! I recently broke my favorite vacuum I ever owned—-the Shark Rocket Ultralight (I think I got it in 2018 or 2019). I tripped over the cord and the metal outlet prong broke off ☹️ After looking at every vacuum on the internet and watching countless review videos…. I’m getting the exact same vacuum, but the new one 😀😃😄😁 What I like about this vacuum 1) suction….its powerrrfulll. As long as you clean the filter (I just purchase replacement filters on Amazon for $18 for a pack of 8. I change them about every month-6 weeks. I prefer this to washing it and waiting for it to dry…but that is also something that is not hard to do). My family sheds like a doggy daycare. I swear between all the girls with long hair that’s always falling out, husbands body hair everywhere, my hair, we have 2 cats…plus we live in Riverside so dust builds up quickly. I don’t have to go over the same spot a dozen times (which I hate doing). 90% of the time it gets everything the first swipe, two or three at most will get everything even in tight and hard to reach places…you don’t have to have the nozzle right there or in contact with the surface. 2) great variety of attachments

We only have carpet in upstairs and lower floor is all wood. We have a shark ultralight powerfin "hairpro" corded. We chose this one because it can do hardwood and kitchen floors and then single button press for carpet. Does a fine job for us.

I have the same problem. The only solution I've found is 1) use a scraper to get the visible hair out of the carpet first. I know it's tedious, but it'll extend the life of your vacuum significantly. 2) clean the vacuum! Follow the manufacturer's instructions exactly. 3) Don't be cheap with the machine. It's better to get a $300 machine that will last for years, than a $100 machine that will last for a few months. Shark vacuums are good and reliable. I use a shark petpro and it's fantastic.

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 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.

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.

Have a shark hand held anti hair wrap one. Find it great. Definitely heavier than a Dyson hand held but stronger suction & long battery - does our whole house no issue. Also a light which is very handy. We have no carpets but busy house with kids and pets

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.

I have a Shark Duo that eats Border Collie hair. Retired my 25 year old Miele cat and dog. It would clog in 20 seconds.

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 have a Shark (don’t remember the model) but it has these “power fins” instead of brushes and they never get tangled with anything.

Forgot to add, it was just under $500 so it’s not a budget vacuum. The suction is next level. I love it so much.

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.

I got a barely-used Shark Navigator from cleaning out a relative's condo (after they died) and it lasted me 9 years of regular use due to a high-shedding dog before the wheels broke. I saw replacements on ebay and videos on how to replace, but none for my exact machine, and I had to weigh ER copay from impaling my hand as I tried to pry things apart vs buying new. I got a new one with the lift-away feature and self-cleaning brushroll for $99 in a black Friday sale, and it's been heavily used so far a few years. I'd be going through bags like nobody's business with the amount of hair I vacuum up if my main vacuum was bagged.

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.
