Shark HV322 Rocket Deluxe Pro Corded Stick Vacuum with LED Headlights, XL Dust Cup, Lightweight, Perfect for Pet Hair Pickup, Converts to a Hand Vacuum, with Pet Attachments, Bordeaux/Silver

UPDATE: I received this vacuum on 1/21/22 and used it for the first time tonight (1/28/22). AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL! I attempted to use it for my 10x12 dining room wood laminate floor. Epic fail. This thing has no strong power. I used both the bare floor setting and the carpet setting - neither impressed me. After all of the positive reviews, I had such high expectations. What a letdown. I had to make multiple passes over all areas of the floor and still had to use another vacuum to get the job done. It’s only been a week since I vacuumed my floor so, it wasn’t so dirty that I should’ve had to make multiple passes with this hunk a junk or have to use a second vacuum to take care of a simple bare floor. I’m just disappointed. I’m very happy that so many buyers love it. I did not and I own other Shark products. I already started the return process. The vacuum is packaged just as it was when I received it. As soon as our snowstorm passes, I’ll be anxiously returning this Shark. I’m coming to the conclusion that new Shark products are high priced and low quality. I will not purchase any other Shark products in the future. My search begins - again - for a new vacuum for my hard floors. Shark, you’ve lost a customer. Note: I have NOT used the vacuum yet. I just returned a different corded stick vacuum that I purchased because I wasn’t pleased with it and decided it to “stick with what I know” (I own other Shark vacuums), spend the extra money and purchase a Shark corded vacuum. I don’t care about cordless features because I don’t want to worry about charging the vacuum and still having limited time to use it before needing to recharge. I chose the Shark HV322 Rocket Pet Plus Corded Vacuum. I have a dog and a houseful of people so I thought this would be perfect. Upon delivery by Amazon, I brought the package in and began to unpackage so that I could give my new purchase a try. The first thing I noticed is that the outermost brown cardboard packaging that the vacuum arrived in was from Shark. It had the correct model number (see photo) but said Shark Rocket Ultra Light Upright Vacuum as the description. This raised flag #1. I removed the actual product box from the outer packaging and that description matched what I thought I purchased and received (see photo). Upon taking the vacuum parts out of the box, I then noticed that the Owners Guide said Shark Rocket Series HV320. I know that it’s not uncommon for an owners guide to have multiple model numbers in one guide. I continued removing the parts and noticed that the main vacuum head makes no mention of being Pet Plus. That says Rocket Deluxe Pro (see photo). Clearly, I have no idea if I received what I purchased. This is NOT the fault of Amazon. This is 100% the fault of Shark! I have owned 3 other Shark products. My first 2 were great and well worth every penny spent. My other current Shark vacuum is lackluster at best but I’m making it work because I can’t return it to Target (it’s only 1 month old) and I’ve thrown away the packaging. The quality of Shark products seems to have decreased while the pricing is definitely increasing. Shark should be ashamed of themselves for selling products that don’t match what their packaging says. As I said, I have not used the vacuum yet as I was too annoyed that I’m not sure if I received what I was supposed to. I’ll update after I’ve actually used whatever this corded vacuum is. Im going to post this review on Shark’s website as well to alert all buyers. I’m no longer sure that I’ll invest or recommend any Shark products.

This is the Sthil Chainsaw of carpet vacuums. Honest, Ive been around for a long time and this thing runs circles around Grandmas Kirby or Electrolux. Turns an old carpet into like-new.

I just recommended this vacuum for the umpteenth time (to our company owner, for our office and because hes interested in a new vacuum for his home). Since I love it so much, I guess I should take a couple minutes to review it. I am not a domestic diva by any means. So its a big deal that I love this machine. I decided against a cordless model since cordless always means a big heavy battery pack, and this has a long enough cord that it doesnt have to constantly be plugged and unplugged. Its not heavy but the suction is great. In fact, if you have lightweight area rugs, be careful because it can grab them pretty easily. The motor head has a light, which helps tremendously, and it swivels and lays flat making it easy to get around and under furniture and other obstacles. It also seems to vacuum my vinyl floor pretty well. Someone mentioned that its too loud but it doesnt seem any different than any other vacuum Ive used, so I guess the noise level depends on what youre comparing it to. When you dont need the motor head, you just step on a lever and it comes off, leaving you with a handheld vacuum that can reach the cobwebs in the corner of ceilings (depending on your ceiling height). If you want an even more compact vacuum for vacuuming stairs or your car interior, its easy to remove the stick portion. Ordinarily switching out a lot of parts makes it a cumbersome affair but its easy with this vacuum, and just as easy to click the parts back on. I bought this model earlier in 2022 but I see it has been upgraded since then, so the attachments store on the body. That addresses one of 2 issues I had with this. The other issue is that you cant leave it upright--I have to rest it against the molding of a doorway or a piece of furniture. It really hasnt been a problem but I thought it was worth mentioning. I do not have a pet so I cant comment on pet hair, but I shed a lot of hair myself and it seems to pick it up fine. It does have a bagless cup that I empty after each vacuuming session. Overall, I highly recommend this model and look forward to having one in our office to get all the paper scraps, etc. on my office carpet that the cleaning crew doesnt get to. Best vacuum Ive ever had and the only one I have ever loved (probably the only cleaning tool I have ever loved, in fact). No regrets at all. Thanks to Shark for a well-designed machine!

After reading thousands of reviews on tons of different products, we officially decided on this one and we are so glad we did. It’s a phenomenal vacuum. We have 4 cats and 2 dogs all indoor, and we need something that really tackles the hair and this product definitely does the trick! Another thing we really love is the length of the wand. That sucker is so long! We can clean the rafters and the ceiling fans so easily. The only to cons are: it doesn’t free-stand, and it is corded. Neither of those things really mattered to us if the vacuum was strong enough and did a great job, and it does. Hopefully it lasts a long time!

We have one very sweet little cat that seems to lose its weight in hair every month - its everywhere. Not to mention kitty litter and dried up bits of food that coat the floors in all of the rooms week upon week... Ive only ever had $60-80 vacuums and with all of the trouble they have caused with clogged filters, lack of power and loss of suction, I decided to invest in this Shark and I have to say, its a darn good vacuum. When Im using this thing, I believe I actually have a look on my face similar to the woman in the pictures - like were content to vacuum all day long and possibly for a living. It truly is a joy to use - very lightweight but still has some heft in the main motor unit so you can tell it is built well. And it is powerful - I havent kept up with the technological advances in home vacuums and havent done the tests with nuts, bolts, marbles or a bowling ball - but it does hurt when you get it stuck to your face - FYI. All of the attachments connect to the unit with a satisfying click and are effortlessly removed. The carpet sweeper unit helps propel itself forward on even the thicker carpets which is a treat because the older cheapo units would get stuck in some areas. Maneuverability and getting under low clearance objects is now done with total ease. The hardwood floor attachment with the terrycloth pad that wipes while moving it across the floor works well too. And though the dual lights on the carpet sweeper and the one on the main unit look really cool (like Audi supplied headlights for this thing), I was surprised to find that they actually light up the carpet/floor and work very well in spotting areas you may have missed. The smaller upholstery sweeper is my favorite attachment and after using it on two of my sofas, I was amazed (and then equally appalled) at how much dirt and hair was deposited into the bin. And the bin is small - like others reviewers stated, I had to empty it 3-4 times after doing the whole place on the first use. However, like a lot of them said, that was just the first time going through what I previously presumed to be my clean apartment. The next week yielded far less and I only had to empty twice (and thats because I leave the bin clean for the next use to gauge how dirty things get over the week). Its a cinch to empty and clean - unlike the last Hoover I owned...I dont want to talk about that. The other truly wonderful thing about this vacuum and my main reason for buying it is its small footprint. Its not designed to stand upright on its own but if you live in a 1 bedroom apartment with valuable limited closet space and a girlfriend/wife that wants all that limited space to herself for her stuff, you dont want a vacuum taking up space where your Taylormades clearly fit and absolutely belong. A plastic wall/door mount hook comes in the box and I now have it mounted on the wall close to the ceiling inside my precious tool closet where it fits perfectly and is totally out of the way of anything else stuffed in there, the bag of attachments hanging right next to it. The only slightly annoying part is cord management (and I say this coming from a vacuum that had a retractable cord so dont take it too seriously unless you currently have one with that option and have gotten used to the bliss of not having to wrap and then unwrap when you are told you missed an area that needs cleaning). There is a cord hook on the main unit and then a hook on the carpet sweeper and the floor sweeper. If you have the cord wrapped around the hooks on the unit and either of those attachments, you cannot remove that attachment from the extension pole without unwrapping the cord completely. Its a small hassle and easily remedied by just wrapping the cord around the main unit handle and dust bin instead of using the hooks. That way, you can interchange and store the way you want without fussing with the cord first. As you can tell, Im not getting technical on this review - I dont know much about vacuums because they arent my thing and it took some deep reasoning and soul searching for me to pull the trigger on a $250 (with tax) dirt sucking machine - I was simultaneously looking at any other FUN electronic item for the same amount before I clicked buy. But, all-in-all, Im happy with the choice and thanks to all the reviewers who helped me make it. If youre living with someone who has de facto control over all of the storage space in a 1 bedroom apartment with 4 small closets but only 1.5 you can call yours and everything of communal use has to go in your closet exclusively, this is the vacuum for you. If you have more space to work with and call your own, good for you - very happy for you. You will like the vacuum too.

This is a great, lightweight, yet powerful vacuum. I really love it and I’m glad that I finally found a vacuum that works for my needs. I would have given it 5 stars, except for one little detail. The replacement filters that came with it are not the right ones for this vacuum! Not only that, but you know how we see recommendations for other things that people buy, along with our main purchase? Suggesting we add more to our carts…? Well, the suggestion was wrong too. The replacement filters are way too big. They are not the right size. I only discovered this after the return window was closed. The good news is that the nice people at customer service are allowing me to return them anyway, but I am having to pay a $3.70 restocking fee. I’m not too happy about this. So, beware of this problem! Don’t buy the suggested replacement filters! I am now having to research this to find out which ones will fit my new vacuum. Luckily, they are washable. So maybe I don’t even need to spend yet more money to buy replacement filters.

Its a great vacuum but does not include the tool clip shown in photos or a wall mount for storage. The manual shows both items as well. Id have purchased a different version had I know this.

The low, small, swivel head easily gets into and around and vacuums places my prior vacuums couldnt even get to. I vacuum about 5:30am and I turn on lights only when I have to. The light on the head takes care of that. No doubt the hand vac works great but I have not used it that way yet. Bad parts...it will not free stand with the motor attached and the cord is too short.

2 Great Danes that shed like you wouldn’t know… does a fantastic job getting all the hair and dust. Also gets all my cat litter my cat drags out the box! Highly recommend - I hate having to deal with the wire but I’m sure battery ones wouldn’t work as good as this one does!! 10/10 recommend

I have 7 cats and only 4 areas with carpet, so I didnt need a big vacuum since most of my home is hard flooring. Found the HV322 when it was 43% off, so $150 for a vacuum wasnt a bad cost. Ended up filling the cup twice using it for the first time in my smallest bedroom and let me tell you, that was eye opening. Im sure any brush roller vacuum would have done the same job but what I like about the Shark is: -lightweight -easy to maneuver -2 power modes -bright light -decently long cord -easy to remove dust trap -brush roller indicator light -quick release is high on the stick so you can separate the motor portion, add a crevice tool and hit those tight spots -caught it at a good sale price What I dont like about it: -doesnt stand upright on its own -dust bin requires you to use your hands to clean out fuzz/hair that collects around the filter. Not a huge deal but does make the process a bit messy. -absolutely worthless on hard floors. Youll feel all the trash get kicked back onto your feet and legs from the rollers. This is on the low setting, which Im guessing the brush rollers only turn from the air being pulled past them and not powered by the vacuum. Still, at that low setting, its too much brush action. I have 2 x Mieles I use for hard floors and nothing will ever beat them at that.
