Customer Ratings & Reviews

vacuum has multiple features. easy to handle. light weight

The suction power on this vacuum is quite amazing. It’s a lot cheaper than the dyson but don’t let that fool you. It’s super light, small but mighty which means it’ll fit in the tightest spots with no issues.

We have had this for a couple of weeks now, and it’s fantastic. We have pets, and it deals with all their fur just fine. The attachments are great. Super easy to use. It’s nice and light as well.

The suction power is strong. The carpet looks great.

This vacuum is very powerful but still small. We didn’t want a big and bulky vacuum. We can vacuum under so many places with the vacuum itself. The attachment is also a plus for reaching higher spots.

I love this vacuum. Very light weight easy to use.

Lightweight, easy to use and great on hard floors.

This is one of the better purchases I've made, much better than the Dyson stick vac it replaced. The soft roller is great, I don't feel like I'm scratching the floor and it helps with the massive amount of dog hair in my house. I really like how the dust cup detaches and empties. I also like that the buttons to push for things like taking off the dust cup and detaching the body from the stick part are clearly marked and easy to figure out. Accessing the roller bar for cleaning is so easy, which is great since someone in my home has long hair that gets tangled up in the roller. It works great and I'm really happy that it has good performance on area rugs, something my Dyson stick vac didn't have. My only complaint is that it's top heavy by design, so you have to pay attention and not try to stand it upright. I love that they made it where you could remove the body and hook it onto the rest of the vacuum for stand up storage. Overall a great purchase!

Powerful......Light.......Easy to use.......Works seamlessly on hardwoods and carpet.......Best vacuum I have ever had............And alot cheaper than the Dyson..........Can't beat a Shark!

This sweeper has plenty of good things going for it. Plenty of power to get any and every job done and done right. A number of possible configurations to allow for just about any type of cleaning, and it is so easy to change from one configuration to another. Beside the full vacuum, we like to take just the motor section, add a brush tube to it, and we have something just about as portable as a Dirt Devil for smaller jobs, like cleaning out the exhaust fan grill in our bathroom. So easy to clean, parts snap apart and back together with ease. Our favorite vacuum EVER.

Using this in an 1000sq foot apartment and it’s been a godsend! Gets under all of our furniture and tables with ease, goes from hardwood to carpet and rugs seamslessly and stores without a fuss. I’ve been using attachments to clean gunk off of vents and exchanges that haven’t been touched in years previously and this thing doesn’t groan or hiccup. Cleanup couldn’t be easier (as far as canisters go. I am still partial to HEPA bags as the most hygienic solution). If you need the flexibility and the space- this is a no brainer. I haven’t mentioned the cord because it’s a non issue for most.

Love the roller in front as it helps clean hardwood floors as it is vacuums up per hair and dirt. Overall, works great on a variety of surfaces. We have four pets and this sucks up hair from carpet as well as hardwood or tile. Only thing I would change is for it to have a larger catch bin to catch more and allow for fewer trips to empty it.

I had a more basic model Shark Rocket, but felt an upgrade was in order. This one holds more dirt/pet hair than my other one, plus it works better overall (especially on hard floor's...it doesn't bunch stuff into a pile, it sucks it up,). Great vacuum.

Very good suction power and light weight. Easy to maneuver

I love this vacuum because it’s small, lightweight and moves from carpet to hard floor with no problems. Great at picking up messes from a 2 year old. Love how it reaches those hard to reach areas!!

While top heavy, it's highly maneuverable, stores in very little space and it's extremely easy to get to the rollers and filters for cleaning. I think it's great that I will no longer have to buy filters or bags. Of course, I'm sure the filters will have to be changed eventually, but not every year like on most other vacuums.

The Shark Rocket Complete HV381 is very well engineered. It's basically two units in one attractive package. Fully assembled, it is an upright vacuum cleaner that has a smaller (smaller than full-size) powered floor head with powered brush roller and an additional powered soft roller. Coupled with a two-speed power switch on the upper unit, this vacuum works very well on carpet or hard surfaces. You can get debris very close to your wall base trim as well. It has powerful suction for it's size, and there are no bags to buy since the Rocket uses a dust cup that detaches for emptying. It also comes with a full compliment of accessory tools for specialized cleaning needs. It has 30' of electrical cord so you have plenty to move around with. The powered floor head easily turns left and right and is designed to stay flat on the floor/carpet when turning. It is very maneuverable and smaller than a regular size upright so it can get in places and under places that a normal upright cannot. You can easily detach the upper powered unit from the floor unit while leaving the extension wand attached to the upper unit. From there you can attach any of the accessory cleaning tools to the end of the wand to provide added reach for above-floor cleaning. Of course, you can detach the wand from the upper unit and attached any of the accessory cleaning tools directly to the upper unit for closer in work such as for use on steps or furniture. One of the accessory tools is a under-appliance wand that is very flat so it will fit under such things as the kitchen stove and washer/dryers. This tool allows you to extend the flattened part for extra reach or shorten it according to you need. The Rocket comes with a wall mount should you desire to hang the whole unit up off the floor such as in a closet or storage area. As far as cleaning the Rocket, the floor unit comes apart in seconds so you can keep the rollers clean. It even has an on-board hair/string removal tool that makes cleaning the brush roller much quicker and simpler. There are two foam filters that the manufacturer recommends washing about once a month to keep suction at optimum levels. There are two things to keep in mind if you're considering purchasing the Rocket. The powered floor head is more narrow than a standard upright, which makes the Rocket more suitable to a smaller apartment/home. Even in a larger home, it will make an excellent vacuum for one floor while having another unit on a different floor. The second thing is that the upper powered unit is a little heavier than what you may be used to if all you use now is an upright. In a standard upright, all the weight is primarily in the floor unit with the bag and such attached above it. When you roll it around, the weight all rests on the floor portion of the upright. With the Rocket, some of the weight rests in the upper unit because it has the dust cup built in there as well as one of the motors for use for above-floor cleaning when the lower powered floor unit is detached. The upper unit weight is not great and is balanced on the rest of the unit while using it to vacuum floors/carpets. Just keep in mind that there is a little more weight in your hand than with a traditional upright. The weight isn't great, but you will notice it. Having said all that, this is a powerful, flexible vacuum unit that is easy to use and quite versatile.

By far my favorite vacuum. Lightweight easy to use. Long cord makes it easy to move from room to room. Easy to clean

Outstanding product! I HATE vacuuming but, after using this Shark vacuum cleaner I actually look forward to vacuuming my house. It is so easy to use that even I, a lifelong bachelor can use it. Would definitely recommend this product!

Has great suction and pick up power. "garage door" is the perfect feature to clean the removable brush heads. Handle can be a little heavy and awkward when using tools. If you have a lot of pet hair or debris the canister is small.
