Not good at allllll the worse vacuum I’ve ever bought I wish I can return it but it’s to late it’s standing in the closet for no reason

Works as advertised wish it was a little better. Not as loud as other vacuums and doesn’t scare my pets easily.

The Shark Rocket cordless vacuum is a very nice vacuum cleaner. The best features are that it is both cordless (power comes from a built-in lithium-ion battery) and lightweight. That makes it easy to move around whatever you’re cleaning (the floor, a sofa, your car) without having to drag a cord or heavy base unit around, which is a huge convenience in my book. There are only two main parts, the head unit with the dirt collector and the power switch, and the extension (called the “wand”) that reaches the floor if you want to use it like an upright vacuum cleaner. The floor unit has a powered roller and a built-in light to illuminate the floor in front of you. The dirt collector is made of clear plastic, so it is easy to see when it is full, and emptying it is easy as well. With the floor extension removed, the head unit itself can be used much like a hold-in-your-hand dustbuster as the attachments fit onto the end of it. There is a broader fitting for cleaning something like a sofa, and it has a brush attachment for vacuuming dusty surfaces. There is also a crevice attachment for getting into narrow places like between couch cushions or between seats in your car. Accessory connections are made with a positive click fitting, rather than the usual press-fit connection typical of vacuum cleaner attachments. I find this a nice feature as well as I always have trouble keeping press-fit attachments from coming loose. The power switch has two settings, depending on whether you’re cleaning bare floors (low speed recommended) or carpets (high speed recommended). The difference is the speed at which the roller spins. There is also a trigger much like the trigger on a gun you can pull for a “boost” mode to give a momentary extra suction power. It is not meant for constant use as you must keep the trigger pulled. We have two pets (dog and cat), so we have pet hair on the furniture all the time. I first used this unit in the hand-held mode with the brush attachment, and it did pretty well on removing the hair from the cushions where it tends to cling pretty tenaciously. It certainly did no worse than our conventional vacuum, and it was much more convenient to hold and use. The battery is not removable, so you’ll want to keep the battery charged if you vacuum often. Indicator lights on the head unit gives the state of charge, and a full charge takes about three hours. The unit was charged about two-thirds out of the box, so I did not have to charge it before use, and it did not run down during the vacuuming session I put it through. While this unit is not necessarily a substitute for a full-size floor vacuum, especially in terms of how often you will have to empty the dirt collector versus how often you have to change the collection bag on a full-size vacuum, it holds its own very well, and the ability to switch between floor and hand-held vacuuming makes it useful even if you already have a conventional vacuum cleaner. In many situations, this unit could serve as your only vacuum cleaner. I highly recommend it.

It was fine for about a year and then completely lost suction. You now have to use the "turbo" button for it to suck up basic crumbs otherwise it'll just move the crumbs around. It's also takes getting used to that the brush will pull the vacuum forward which makes pulling it backward feel awkward. It's fine I guess and probably because it's so light.

Great on carpet but not on hard floor or tile pick up is not so good. You have to go over it several times

We have all hard floors. This thing is amazing and convenient. Struggles to pick up large pieces but overall does what it says.

Not the best of the best. I have an older model that worked better, not enough power for this one.

Doesn’t work on carpets or bathroom rugs. Red error symbol appears and stop working. Alittle too top heavy.

Vacuum simply doesn’t have the power to do the job. Switching back to Dyson.

Unfortunately did not work. I was excited to use it in my new home but when I started it the suction piece wasn't functioning.

Honestly, the worst vacuum ever. It did not have good suction or pick up anything after the first two months. I recommend either spending your money on a Dyson or buying a Bissell for the same price

Works well, just not much power. Wouldnt but again.

We took it back didnt work good felt bad but it was not working

I don’t know how this can be labeled a pet vacuum. All it did was move the cat hair around my hardwood floors. And it has no power over rugged areas. A complete disappointment. Yes, fully charged and new filters.

Not worth $200. This is a $50 vacuum at most. $50 is being generous.

Great cordless option. Good value! Satisfied with all my shark purchases thus far.

Wouldn't recommended this vacumm with those that have pets. Doesn't pick the hair up very well. And i do not like that there is not much suction, unless you you the power botton. I qould jave thought it would have been regular suction and then added suction. Its not.

I used the vacuum for 6 days . It worked well until it quit and the battery would no longer charge. Lights flashing indicated that the vacuum needed service. It was returned to store and replaced with a new one.Will see if new one works better.

So this works great for a few minutes. Battery dies too quick. I wish the battery was removeable to allow swapping but its builtin. Also it charges too slow.

Decent, but the battery life per use is incredibly low.
