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

I wanted a vacuum that was lightweight, could function as an upright as well as a more portable vacuum, and with attachments that were easy to switch out. My other vacuum is a 13-year-old Dyson Animal – I like it, but it’s heavy at 19 lbs., hard to lug up and downstairs, and requires a lot of thumb pressure to remove attachments. I wanted high quality but didn’t want to spend what I did on the Dyson. The Shark Rocket TruePet Ultralight Vacuum checked all my boxes, and then some. 1. The “rocket” handheld part is only 4 lbs. Perfect for when I constantly need to suck up ladybugs that have squeezed their way inside in the autumn. Or for many other quick vacuum needs. When paired with the long wand and rotating floor brush it’s still only about 8 pounds. 2. Attachments easily click in, and easily detach with a rocker switch. 3. After I received the TruePet, I carefully vacuumed a couple rooms first with the Dyson, and then followed with the Shark. It picked up a little more dust than the Dyson. 4. Less than half the price of the Dyson! 5. The LED lights are awesome. They are on both the rocket and the rotating floor brush, and highlight stuff you wouldn’t otherwise see. 6. The TruePet Motorized Brush is why I sought out this particular model. Shark has several models in the HV320 series. Their website isn’t good at showing how they differ. I think they all have the same rocket, but are accessorized differently. And including the motorized brush makes this a good deal because it’s the same price as the others in the series. This thing has really good power. I have a similar accessory on my Dyson, but it is big and clunky and will fall off the hose if you don’t hold onto it. Shark’s brush clicks in securely so you don’t have to worry about it. 7. Flexible hose. It’s only about 12 inches or so, but it’s a handy extra to have when you need extra reach to get into smaller spaces or just need the flexibility. Kudos to Amazon for being the only online retailer that I could find that even mentions this accessory. Even the box doesn’t tell you everything that is included, until you open the box and see the list on the inside flaps. That was frustrating, because I bought a different model in the HV320 series first only to find it didn’t come with what I wanted. Kudos also to the reviewer(s) who posted photos of the box contents. That really helped! 8. The dust bin. This holds plenty for its size, and is easy to remove and empty without making a big mess. 9. Pushing this as an upright is a breeze. I do have low-pile carpeting, but it feels like it’s self-propelled. I can feel the resistance when I pull back, so I know the suction is good. 10. Loved that Amazon’s packaging came with not only a bigger Amazon box to hide the contents, but the original box was snugly inside another plain box from the manufacturer. Well protected and nobody had to know what had been delivered. 11. Some comment that it doesnt stand upright by itself. Not a big deal to me because its really easy to detach the rocket and hang it on the wand near the floor. Negatives? Like others have mentioned, it would be nice to have a hard floor brush tool available without having a microfiber cloth. Applications would be basement floor or if its dirty enough that youd like to pre-clean before using the tool with the attached cloth. Since the first stroke on a surface isnt always a forward stroke, the microfiber pad would stay cleaner longer if there was suction behind as well as in front of the pad. The wand attached to the hard floor tool (the one with the pad) doesnt lock in and stay upright whether the rocket is hanging on the bottom of the wand for storage or not. It would be nice if the on-board tool clip allowed you to click in the accessories instead of just staying on with friction, because they have a tendency to fall off. But then the accessories meant to go on that clip dont click in to the vacuum either. The rolling floor brush doesnt slide all the way under my coffee table, which has a shelf 3.5 off the floor. It will slide in 8, up to the point where the rolling brush meets the handle. Thats still at least 6 further than my Dyson can go, so at least its an improvement.

This vacuum had excellent suction, but a terrible design. It is advertised as light-weight, but it is top heavy due to the hand vac feature, which makes it difficult to push. If youre hands are very strong, and you dont mind leaning it against something to keep it upright, then go for it. The vacuum is so top heavy, that it actually is painful to push. I knew within the first minute it was going to be a problem. Every time you stop it, you have to find something to lean it against. While the hand vac is probably a nice feature, it doesnt compensate for the inconvenience of the design. Back it goes.

I love this for laminate and hardwood floors. Very good on rugs as it does eat the rug. Doesnt have a lot of suction for carpet or removing pet hair. I do love it though.

It’s lightweight and the swivel lets you get into tight spots. However- 2things: 1. It won’t stand on its own. To park it for a minute, you have to click it into upright position(easy) then prop it against a wall on its rubber thingys to keep it from rolling off. 2. Note the height of it. A 5’1 friend wanted to test it out & the long nozzle in the upright position was way to long for her height. I’m 5’7 so it was no issue for me.

Besides the one and only downfall that its kind of hard to stand up unless you have the hook, this vacuum is the best. Its powerful suction, its lightweight, easy to clean and versatile roller makes this vacuum one of the best vacuums ever. Dont let the price fool you, do not hesitate to buy!

Replaced an older Dyson that finally quit. Unbelievable how much pet hair and other debris this pulled out comparatively. Knap on the carpet looks better than it has in years. Super light weight and easily goes under furniture and beds.

Its a genius design. I absolutely love the fact that they made this so lightweight and powerful at the same time. I tried my sisters out and fell in love. I went straight home and bought my own. I ordered it on a sunday and had it by tuesday. Crazy fast shipping. I felt like a kid on christmas morning. It was so easy to put together. Just snapped together no instructions needed. I have 4 dogs and 1 very fluffy cat. They all go outside several times a day. And they bring the outside in with them. I sweep, dustmop, and swiffer several times a week. And lug out our vacuum once sometimes twice a week. Its not a giant old school vacuum, but its still very heavy. And I hate it because its so heavy. The shark however. Is like a dream to use. Im not talking fairytale princess, dancing in the living room with my ballgown and crown dream. But, this makes my vacuuming easier, dream. lol It cleans so well. I love the swivel head. Its much quieter the my other vacuum I have. The cord is so lightweight that it just flows with it the vacuum. I dont have to fight with the cord to keep it out of the way. I have shoulder problems and my arm will go numb pushing and pulling on my other vacuum. The shark however is a weightless in comparison. Its easy to pick up and move if I have to. And its small head gets under an in between things so great. Its so nice not having to move everything when its time to vacuum. With the shark I could vacuum everyday if I wanted, and not dread it. And extremely easy to take the canister off, and its easy to dump. It has 2 lights on it 1 at the top shining down and 1 on the head itself shining forward making everything visible so you wont miss anything. It has 2 settings bare floor and carpet. I used it on my entry rug. Its a rubber rug with scrappers on it. Ive tried everything to clean this thing. Nothing worked. Used the shark on it with capet setting and now it looks new. It comes with 2 extra tool / heads. My only complaints is theres no place on the vacuum to put the extra tools. And you have to buy the wall mounting plate separate. Other than that everything else is great!!!

It works great and so easy to use

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.

Only used on laminated floors and a large area carpet, Id say it works absolutely fine. Doesnt have the suction like my old Kenmore canister but it serves its purpose just fine. It didnt cost an arm and a leg so if I have to replace in 5 years so be it. Would I buy again, probably unless I ended up with carpet throughout our house, then Id bite the bullet and spend the money for a higher end quality vacuum.
