HV302 Rocket Pet Corded Stick Vacuum, Lightweight with Swivel Steering for Carpets & Hard Floors, Converts to Hand Vacuum, Includes Crevice Tool, Pet Multi-Tool & Precision Duster, Orange

Yall. This vacuum is the literal best I’ve had in my 15 years of adulthood. I used to buy those $50 big vacuums with the hose that’s bendy and never picks anything up. I finally was able to upgrade and this does NOT disappoint! My house hasn’t been this clean since we moved in 4 years ago. My broom and old vacuum couldn’t reach the places this one does. It fits easily under the beds with ease, no bulky dustbin in the way. It bends, so going around my kitchen counters was a breeze. I LOVE the detachable hose feature! Unlike those other vacuums, this one is easy to hold steady and doesn’t crumble. It picks up everything with ease, and the suction is unbelievable! Also, I wanted something good with kitty litter and boy howdy, this thing killed it. Using the hose, I was finally able to get every last piece of litter hidden in the nooks and crannies of my 1000sqft home. I did have to empty it a lot as I went, but my house was also messy (since this found the spots my old vacuum and broom couldn’t). I don’t like that the cord is attached to the dustbin, but luckily the cord is very long so it worked out. I kept it plugged in while I emptied it. Also, a few times I did have to keep going over the same piece of dirt a few times before it picked it up, but for the most part it worked amazingly. I felt like a kid on Christmas. This was the best investment I’ve made in so long!

For decades I have had a wall vacuum unit and I thought it was just okay. Recently the brush head broke and I came onto Amazon to price a replacement. Over a hundred dollars just for the brush head unit! Since I was never in love with the system I started pricing Dysons...all but the cheapest unit was out of my price range and I wasn't overly impressed with the reviews. So I headed over to the Shark reviews, looked at the various units and found I could get a nice unit for about $50 more than the replacement part for my wall system. Easy to assemble in a minute or so, easy to understand how to use...nice accessories. Since I was in the kitchen when I was putting it together, I decided to try it out first on an area rug my dog lays on (he's a short haired breed). The rug was about 2x4 no big area here...to say I was impressed was an understatement...I was shocked at the amount of dust and hair the unit picked up effortlessly...actually it was kinda creepy to know all that dirt was in that little rug, it filled the cup about halfway! I put on the floor dusting attachment and finished the kitchen, the cup is now full. Easy enough to empty the cup, I didn't understand all the whining about this feature in the reviews. Moved onto the dining room, nearly filled the cup again in just that room and it had been recently vacuumed. Moved onto the living room and got about 75% of it done before I had to find a new outlet, I was plugged into the kitchen and I have a big house over 2000 square feet! Filled the cup again and...maybe it was my imagination but my bare feet on the carpet felt cleaner. Easy to maneuver, you don't have to push it, it self propels forward saving a lot of backache. The other attachments were pretty much what you get with all other units with the exception of the mini ones that can clean you keyboard...I think it might suck up my laptop it's so powerful, I haven't used it yet so I can't comment. Used it some more the next day on more floors and bedroom carpets and was shocked at the amount of dust and hair in the cup. Now I will qualify my statements by saying I have never owned a Dyson, I've never even used one so I can't compare the two. For the difference in price, there is nothing that the Dyson could offer me that I would want or need that the Shark doesn't already give me. I will also add that I was shocked how light the unit was, with all the "bones" up high by your handle, I thought reaching high with the attachments to get cobwebs off the ceiling would strain my wrist...nope, it was effortless. My ceilings are really high, 20 feet in some areas and I was able to get to all but the highest points and those areas I could get with a small step stool. As far as how long the unit will last...for the price if it only lasts until the 5 year warranty runs out I will be happy, I've spent a whole lot more on units that only had a fraction of the cleaning power that this baby holds. I feel I got a really great value for the price. That you can't stand it up on it's own is a minor hassle I can deal with. I recommend this unit highly!

Original Review (UPDATE AT BOTTOM): I bought this hoping to replace my current Dyson DC33 vacuum with a vacuum that's more portable and convenient. I have multiple dogs in my house that shed hair like crazy and I vacuum very frequently to keep everything clean. The box advertises that it cleans better than an upright Dyson but after thoroughly testing it out on the different flooring and different rooms in my house, unfortunately I feel it didn't work well enough to replace my Dyson. Don't get me wrong, the Shark Rocket did outperform the Dyson by a long shot on different flooring and I am keeping it because of that. The following are the tests I performed (note I went two weeks without vacuuming prior to this test and I cleaned both vacuums out between tests): After unboxing it, I tried vacuuming one of my carpeted hallways. I have regular short carpeting and I noticed that the shark kept pulling away from me the whole time and kept skipping across the surface. I could tell the vacuum is too light to get a good deep clean. I tried holding it at an angle and putting a bit of pressure down on it and that seemed to help a lot, it was just awkward and uncomfortable to hold and maneuver like this. The shark picked up a lot of hair and dust and I had a full canister at the end. I then used my Dyson over the same carpet I just cleaned with the shark and noticed the difference. The Dyson filled up almost a quarter of its full size canister with hair and dust that the Shark missed. Next I moved one of our rooms that has hard wood flooring. I ran the shark with its included hard wood floor tool and was amazed by how well it cleaned the floors. The white micro fiber cloth was dirty afterwards and the floor felt much cleaner than it did with my Dyson. I also was impressed with how easy it was to use to clean under the bed and desk in that room. After using the Shark I went over the floors like I normally do with the Dyson and the Dyson picked up nothing. To make sure that I wasn't being bias I cleaned out the two vacuums, went to the other room I have with hard wood and tried using the Dyson first. I then went over the floors with the Shark and again it out performed the Dyson. The Microfiber pad that the Shark has cleans the hardwood floors significantly better than the Dyson could and the Shark gets under beds and desks much better than my Dyson. Next I tried using the shark in one of my bathrooms with bathroom tile. I had the same outcome as I did with the hardwood floors. I started with the Shark, and then went over the floors with the Dyson. The Shark's canister was about halfway full and the Dyson picked up nothing. I cleaned them out and moved to my other bathroom with tile in it and tried using the Dyson first. The Dyson picked up quite a bit but again the Shark outperformed the Dyson. Finally I have a large area rug in my living room and I used the Dyson first on one half and then went over it with that same half with the Shark. The Dyson got most of the hair and dust out of it but I noticed that the Shark picked up about a quarter of its small canister that the Dyson missed. I believe it's from the edges of the rug, the Dyson's suction always pulls up the edges of the rug and is too difficult to vacuum close to the edges. The shark on it's lower setting cleaned the outer edges of the rug without having this problem. Next I cleaned out both vacuums and used the Shark first on the other half of the area rug. It performed very well and filled its little canister up with hair pretty quick. I went over that half with the Dyson and it did pick up a little bit (barely noticeable amount) that the Shark missed but in my opinion, the hassle of the Dyson pulling up the edges of the rug isn't worth it, the Shark was much easier to use and cleaned the rug very well. Overall the Shark Rocket outperforms my Dyson DC33 upright on hardwood, tile, and area rugs but the Shark just doesn't work well enough on carpet to completely replace my upright. I'm impressed enough with the performance of the Shark that I am keeping it to use on all my flooring except for carpet. The only other thing I noticed is that my hand and arm did get tired from holding up the Shark the whole time cleaning and the Shark won't stand upright on its own, you either have to hold it the whole time, or lay it on the floor between cleanings. If you are looking for a good and convenient vacuum for hardwood, tile, or area rugs, I would highly recommend this vacuum. If you are looking for a vacuum to replace an old upright and plan to use it on carpeting, buy another upright, not this. This a great vacuum to use to clean quick messes on carpeting but I don't feel it cleans carpet well enough to fully replace an upright. UPDATE: I've had the vacuum for a few weeks now and after frequently using it, I still feel the same as my initial review above, this is a great vacuum but I don't feel it's good enough to fully replace an upright with. Yesterday I decided to try using the vacuum to clean out the inside of my car and I was impressed with how well the micro cleaning kit (included in HV302)cleaned all of the usually hard places to clean. I used the micro cleaning kit to vacuum out the vents, cup holders, dash board, and other places in the car that are too difficult to get with a rag and it worked great. I also used the regular accessories to vacuum my cloth seats which worked very well and they are noticeably more clean. I started using the vacuum on the floors of my car but I quickly changed my mind after it sucked up a few small pebbles which immediately started bashing around the inside of the canister which I feel would have caused damage to the vacuum if I kept going. As far as this vacuum as a car cleaner, I would suggest using a shop vac on the floors of the car (if you have a gravel driveway like me) and then using this vacuum to clean your seats, vents, and other hard to clean places. If you plan on using this vacuum to clean your car, I would HIGHLY recommend getting the micro cleaning kit, it made cleaning my car that much easier.

Love this vacuum. Wish I had bought one years ago. I gets in all the tight spaces and wow the suction is awesome. I can see what comes up out of my carpet. Easy to operate and light weight.

Day one, I am in love with this Shark Rocket vacuum. My expectations were pretty low after reading some of the reviews, plus I’m a vacuum snob, but I bought this mainly in hopes that I could finally get my carpeted stairs clean. I actually still haven’t tried to clean the stairs properly yet, but I was totally surprised by how well it works on carpet and tile. The image shows how it picks up lots of super fine dust that my stand-up Hoover missed. It picked all of that up in just a small area of “clean” carpet. That Hoover is already out in the garage, waiting to be dumped or sold! After vacuuming several rooms with this Shark Rocket, the white filter was almost completely grey with fine dust already. I definitely don’t mind replacing filters often if it’s keeping that out of my house and sinuses! By the way... my carpets haven’t been this fluffy in years! I couldn’t be happier. The suction is very strong (YAY!!) so I would be careful with area rugs and delicate surfaces. It out-performs every other vacuum I’ve ever used (including Dyson, Hoover, Bissell, and more, including two brands of robot vacuums) when it comes to tile floors. Every other vacuum would shoot/spray out debris back towards my feet as I was vacuuming. So frustrating. This Shark Rocket doesn’t do that! It picks up everything without spraying junk all over the place. The only things it couldn’t pick up were larger feathers dropped by our medium-sized parrot. Of course it is quite top heavy... and my arms got a good work out while using it since you basically have to carry the weight of it the entire time you’re using it. You do need a bit of hand strength since the heavy part you’re holding on to is also vibrating a bit. It is easy to detach the heavy motor/canister when you need to take a break or set it down without it falling over. Setting up the vacuum was as easy as clicking the motor to the pole and the pole to the vacuum head. It was ready to use in seconds after unboxing it. One thing I wish they would’ve done is make the power cord detachable. The cord is pretty heavy, and it isn’t convenient having to carry it around and hold it out of the way when you need to empty the canister. Also, the swiveling vacuum head kinda has a mind of its own, and always seems to swivel directly into furniture, walls and corners that I’m trying to vacuum around. 🤷🏻‍♀️ It does shoot hot air straight back towards you as you’re using it... it would have been a plus if they could’ve made it shoot the air out to the side instead. I had to untangle a few hairs and fabric threads from the rolling brush, but it wasn’t an issue. Keeping up with that regularly so it doesn’t get unmanageable would be a good idea. Due to the weight of it that you have to support, I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone with strength or mobility issues. For me, it is one of the best purchases I’ve made in years, and I actually look forward to cleaning my floors again. I will update this once I start using the attachments/if my opinion changes.

Very pleased! More powerful than I thought it would be. I thought my carpet was clean but I gave it a go and lots of other stuff came up. Goes right under bed, chairs, etc. which I love. A bit top heavy in your hand (I have a bad thumb) because of the motor but I’ll let that slide because it works so well and I only need it for short runs in my apartment. It can’t stand up on its own but it has a little bit of rubber to protect your wall which I wish covered the edges of the flat space in case it goes a little bit sideways when you lean it on the wall to put away. Has a cord but I feel I’ll get full power for longer life over time. No disappointment because I got a “second hand” one for less. (Boxing and other wrapping was like new.) $SAVED A LOT$ It won’t pull MY long hair out of my sisal carpet (I don’t expect it to) but coupled with a rug rake, everything is SO clean!

Love Love Love this little machine... First because it is simple... I'm tired of all these fancy vacuums that have too many filters... too many corners for the dirt to go around.. belts for this belts for that.. bags that you have to hunt all around town to find... all which get clogged up or stretched out and you have to purchase continuously. My old Hoover clogged up so easy that I had to tear apart the whole machine every time I used it or it would just suck in dirt in the front and throw it all over my feet and the floor behind it. This little machine has a washable (or replaceable) filter.. a powerful motor, a container for the dirt and a head to push across the floor or more appropiately "hang on" while the suction pulls you across the carpet. Second reason I love it is .. it is lightweight. I have issues with my back and the bigger ones caused pain when I used them. Twisting and turning trying to get the clunky machines around furniture. The Rocket practically goes around the furniture itself, you just have to guide it. I have a two story house and I used to have to have two vacuums - one on each level- because I could not haul the heavy ones up and down the 13 step -steep stairway.. This one is so lightweight that it is no problem. Third, the main floor cleaning head is smaller than most vacuums. I live in a 100 year old renovated house which has lots of smaller spaces, closets, This smaller brush head makes it easy for me to get around the nooks and crannies of this old house and under the antique furniture. No longer have to get the dust mop out because this machine lays flat to reach way under the furniture. Also it comes with a hard wook floor dusting attachment, with a washable pad... EXCELLENT! Which brings me to the 4th reason. The attachments... It comes with the regular brush head, the hardwood floor dusting head, three upholstery cleaning heads. One is a velcro type head which is excellent gathering up and getting rid of pet hair. (We just recently acquired a house cat for the first time and he has claimed a certain chair as his.) And it has a collection of smaller heads for cleaning things like your keyboard and computer fans. Also is very portable, it will rock in vacuuming the car carpets. Fifth reason is that is is small enough to hang on the wall. It comes with an attachment so you can hang it up and a handy bag for all the attachments. The old vacuums had to be moved here and there because they were always in the way, even in storage. Being in a 100 year old house, the house wasn't designed for storage of electric appliances and tools. We had to store it in the porch that goes out the back door and had to move it every time we wanted to go out the door. This one I can hang in the coat closet .. out of the way. I also love the long cord. I plug it in in one spot and it reaches my whole house on that level. Sixth reason is the price. It was affordable for us. We are on a tight budget and it fit in with that. No having to go to the bank to take out a loan for something to clean your floor. It is more powerful than my big clunky Hoover and I will look forward to cleaning now. If I had larger floors and more spacious areas I may have bought the bigger floor model Shark, but with my smaller spaces and bad back, this is the one for me.

I’m about to hit the seven year mark of owning this vacuum. I wanted something lightweight that had all of the pieces connected to the main unit so I didn’t have to go searching for them and this one fit the bill. I have a long-haired dog and a long-haired cat and I am constantly vacuuming as you can imagine. It is still working exceptionally well and I’m hoping that it lasts several more years. The way electronics and appliances are made these days- the fact that it’s lasted more than two years speaks to the quality. I am purchasing a second one as the cordless vacuum, I keep in my kitchen is about to die. Even though this one has a cord, you should know that the cord is exceptionally long. As I said, I like the fact that all of the pieces are on the single unit and it’s easy to detach to get to the long hose or to detach to make it a Dustbuster. I would highly recommend this. It picks up dirt and dog hair on wood floors, tile floors, as well as carpet. It is easy to clean and easy to dump the contents. As others have mentioned, it is slightly top heavy however you get used to it momentarily and it has not been an issue for me over all of these years.

This vacuum is amazing. I mostly use the hardfloor head because that’s what the majority of my house is. I have a cat, a dog and two toddlers - it takes a lot to keep my floor clean (I have to sweep or vacuum at least 3 times a day to keep them even presentable) and this vacuum makes it SO EASY. I got into corners that I’ve NEVER been able to clean, and the suction power sucked things out from under my baseboards (I definitely didn’t know stuff and snuck under there!) It is definitely top heavy(though still very light), and the dirt canister is quite small (though I am able to do all of my hard wood floors without emptying it - in the rooms with rug I can barely do an entire room before it needs to be emptied) I also love how easy it is to maneuver and use on my couches! All in all it’s an amazing product. I read a lot of reviews on this before buying and I don’t regret it at all!

Melhor que já conheci...muito funcional.

Nos gusta mucho la astpiradora, funciona muy bien con los pelos de gato, ya que tenemos dos gatos de pelo largo. Lo uso mucho en los muebles y en todo lo que tenga pelos y funciona muy bien. El aditamento que lo hace ser muy largo es muy útil también para limpiar telarañas y ventiladores de techo (al menos por encima). El contenedor de basura es fácil de descargar y algo que me encanta es que los filtros sólo los lavas una vez al mes... no como la aspiradora anterior que tenía que lavarlo cada vez que se llenaba. Lo único que a mi esposa no le gustó es que es un poco pesada para ella, le cuesta un poco moverla cuando está en modo aspiradora de piso, pero es por el cepillo. Si le quitas la parte de abajo no es tan pesada. Igual la recomiendo, ya que queríamos una aspiradora con potencia y que pudiera lidear con pelos de mascotas y funcionó muy bien.

I did a lot of research before buying this vacuum and I’m very glad to say it has lived up to expectations. The suction on this is incredible and I find it very easy to use to get dust on baseboards and furniture. I’ve vacuumed so much more since I’ve gotten this. The storage cup is small so you will have to empty it regularly, but I don’t mind as I usually have a trash can near by to do that. I live in a condo so I’m also not covering a lot of space. I will agree with other reviewers and say it is heavy on the wrist, which might be too much for some. I work a physical job though and am a young mom so it only took me a few days to get use to and now I barely notice or care. The biggest selling feature to me is the fact that it stands to store. I didn’t want to have to mount a vacuum on one of my walls and so that more than anything sold me on this model. The second suction level does an incredible job on my rugs and with two cats and two kids that’s a big plus too. For anyone worried about cord length, I can reach my from the front entrance of my condo all the way to the back of the living room (+35ft) with ease from a single plug in the middle. So unless you have a huge house or a closed off layout you should be able to do at least 2-3 rooms. Over all if you’re comfortable handling the weight of it I would 100% recommend this vacuum.

Llego en el tiempo mencionado. Muy bien empacando. Esta perfecta para labores sencillas, no es tan pesada, pero si después de un tiempo es cansado. La potencia de succión es muy buena. Y la cantidad de accesorios es creo la adecuada. Muy buena compra!! La recomiendo.
