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

This vacuum is light weight and easy to use!! My other shark would not pick up cat litter. It would always kick the litter back out! This shark on the other hand is great! Must have!!

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 thing really works and if you watch closely, the price typically drops to the $145 range. Dyson can never beat this price and having own one before (and returned it) the Shark brand has never failed me. We use the Rocket daily on hardwood floors, floor rugs, and medium pile carpet. It really picks up the dog hair, dust, and pollen! Its a bit clunky to assemble / disassemble after every use (the head sits near the base opening the tube), but our family overlooks this design flaw. Its biggest flaw is that this upright vac (like many) is top heavy so you cannot stand it upright and lock in place if you need to step away from the task at hand (e.g. move a piece of furniture or something laying on the floor to continue vacuuming). You will need to lay it down on the floor; leaning it against something likely will not work either. Another flaw is that the head moves around very fast (up, down, left, right). This feature works great on smooth surfaces, but if vacuuming stairs its a nuisance when using the telescopic tube attached to the brush roller. Ive yet to attach the suction head to the roller. Overlooking these design flaws, the vacuum does what its suppose to do. We went from vacuuming daily to every other day. Winner!

I like this style so much this style of the Shark Rocket Vacuum this is my 3rd one in 11 years. (So roughly last around 5 years on average). I got the original one when it first came out. I have had two of the HV301. Now I want to try this supposedly improved model HV322. This is lighter than the HV301. I love the ease of use and versatility. You can use on your car too. I do have some of the extra attachment that belong with the HV301, and I am happy that is backwards compatible. Specially the powered small roller brush for furniture. The Suction power is comparable. This one the dust cup/container can be removed from the body. It’s a nice feature but I wish they kept the design of the original container where there is no curvature. When you release the latch, this curve at the bottom cover causes some of the dust to be trapped and does not all go in the trash versus the original just plain straight bottom cover. The main thing that happens to it over time is the hose at the bottom of the floor brush roller breaks. (See picture side by side HV322 and HV301 Floor rollers) I think it’s safe to assume that I would have to replace this hose too, usually every 2 years or so. (Very annoying) They do sell the hose on Amazon. The other issue is the plastic this is made of, becomes brittle and the wheels at the bottom of the floor roller breaks at the snap on (usually happens at year 3 after the warranty is over). The snap latch at the top where the filters are also breaks over time. (Which is what triggered me to buy a new one). The plastic this is made of has a short lifespan. Just enough to get thru the warranty period. But it is a nice convenient vaccumm.

so I was very excited to get a new vacuum cleaner, my last shark vacuum didn’t last very long; the hose completely fell apart and that was very disappointing. so the first thing I noticed with this new shark vac is that it came with two basic tools, and no way to attach them to the stick. How inconvenient is that? also no way to attach it to the wall so that I can store it upright. why these two necessary pieces were not included in my purchase is beyond me. Everybody trying to make extra bucks these days I guess. not only was that very disappointing but the suction power is weak. Once again, shark does not know how to design vacuum cleaners for people who actually use them —I couldn’t even vacuum underneath my couch because of the way they designed this thing. And the dirt cup is so small you have to change it before you can even finish vacuuming, do not buy this vacuum cleaner, you will be disappointed.

This light vacuum is awesome I use it on all my floors hard wood, tile, rugs and even on my porch. Picks up everything.

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!!!

This is a great option for those like the convenience of a stick vacuum and power of a regular full vacuum. I was able to put together and use this vacuum within 5 minutes out of the box! This lightweight vacuum does great on my carpet, rugs and hardwood floors. Perfect for picking up all that holiday glitter and tree or decor fallings around the house. No more having to use my hand or other tools to empty the carpet/dirt debris around either the filter or motor. The XL cup is separate and very easy to detach and empty. The plug in cord is extra long too. Besr part: No more having to wait for recharging to clean my whole house from top to bottom. Lightweight to carry up and down the stairs / around the house with ease. I wish it came with the an accessory clip to hold the 3 cleaning tools but planning to purchase separately for convenience. Other than that, I luv it so far, I am totally happy with my purchase!

Update: Just wanted to mention that after using this vacuum for a while, weve now ordered a second one to give to one of our friends as a Christmas gift...we like it that much. Great little vacuum cleaner! Original review here: We have a large, two-story house and wanted a compact vacuum cleaner to keep on the bottom floors, more for touch-ups than anything else. So, when this product became available via the Amazon Vine program, I decided to give it a try. This vacuum cleaner really is an engineering marvel. It is very powerful, yet feels lightweight in the hand. We have ended up not just using it for the touch-up work I mentioned, but it is actually our main house vacuum now. It might be worth noting that we have a cat, so something with power is definitely a feature we need to get rid of the ever-shedding cat hair around our place. Here are some key things to note about it: It comes with quite a few attachments, including a powered carpet cleaning head, a mini motorized brush to pull pet hair out of difficult areas, a crevice tool, a hardwood floor attachment that includes a washable pad (we use it on our tile floors), a dusting brush, and an upholstery brush. It comes with a black bag to store the attachments in. We also keep the manual in there, which is very well laid-out and easy to follow. It has a very bright light, plus it can be reduced in length to be similar to a portable, hand-held vacuum (see photo). All sections come apart easily and go together easily. It is loud, but POWERFUL. It is surprisingly powerful for such a small, compact device. It has a LONG cord. I measured it at 29 feet in length. 29 feet! Of course, you have to loop it up yourself after using the machine....no self-winding cord with a unit like this, which I suppose is obvious. It has a little hook on the side to hang it on. It can be wall-mounted, making it easy to store out of the way. It has a switch for two power settings...one on high, for deep cleaning, such as carpets and heavy rugs, and one for lighter cleaning...bare floors, bathroom rugs, etc. It has a dust cup to catch the dirt, which is very easy to snap off and empty. No bags to deal with. Yes, it will fill more quickly than a large disposable bag, but since it is so easy to empty, this is not a big deal for us. It also has a filter, which like the dust cup, is very easy to access, remove, and hand wash. You would think in looking at this vacuum that you might tire over time when you use it, since the motor is up near the handle. We have not found this to be the case. It really well-balanced and hardly produces any strain at all, particularly when using the motorized carpet attachment, which provides a wider base for it to rest on when youre using it. Overall, I highly recommend this vacuum cleaner...it is practical, powerful, and easy to clean. I hope this review was helpful. Please feel free to ask me any question you may have and I will do my best to answer. If things change as we use it more, I will update the review...thanks for reading!

Works great but top heavy. Wont stand on its own so need to store leaning or laying down if you dont have a place for the hook.
