Does the brushroll really stop hair wrap?

Shark designed the brushroll to self-clean hair as it spins, and owners report far less tangling than with standard brushrolls. Very long hair may still need an occasional check.

How does it compare with a cordless Shark stick?

It has no battery, so suction stays constant and there is no recharge time. The trade-off is the cord and a smaller dust cup than most cordless models.

Can it clean stairs and upholstery?

Yes. Press the release to convert it to a handheld, then fit the crevice or upholstery tool for stairs, couches and car seats.

What comes in the box?

The Shark Rocket corded stick vacuum, a crevice tool and an upholstery tool.

Is it good for pet hair?

Yes. Strong suction, the anti-wrap brushroll and the upholstery tool make it a solid pick for pet hair on floors and furniture.

How often do I empty the dust cup?

The cup holds 0.68 quarts, so expect to empty it after most whole-home cleans, and more often with heavy pet hair.

Where is the Shark Vacuum Cleaner cheapest?

Our take on the Shark Vacuum Cleaner

The Shark Rocket is a corded stick vacuum that converts to a handheld with a button press. Its self-cleaning brushroll is built to clear long hair and pet hair without wrapping, and the swivel head plus LED lights help reach under furniture and into dark corners. It is a good fit for pet owners and apartment dwellers who want strong suction without battery limits. Against cordless rivals it never runs out of power, but the cord and the small 0.68-quart dust cup mean more plugging in and more emptying.
