Shark Rocket is an amazing deal - a great vacuum cleaner! I paid $129+tax at Target - but the swiffer attachment wasn't included. The suction is absolutely amazing. In a 4 x 4 ft section of carpet I filled the canister (granted, the carpet hadn't been vacuumed in years). This is much better than my mother's electra. The design of this vacuum reflects lots of experience. For example, when the main head is detached from the motor, it is able to stand alone. Can't vouch for allergy sufferers. I don't notice that it has any dust coming out of the exhaust. I do notice that when I vacuum even the couch, it catches a lot of dust and sand in the canister. Five stars!
I have this vacuum . I'm fine with it. Have had my Shark for a couple of years and won't purchase another vacuum cleaner till mine quits. Anyone know the website that I can order a longer nozzle attachment from so I don't have to hurt my back using the smaller lengthwise nozzle?
My family owns a full size vacuum it's the cheapest model of the fullsize. We just bought the shark rocket and I can say the shark does extremely better than the dyson with cleaning our carpet. Our carpet is medium pile. The dyson suction is as good as the shark so if your in the market get the shark. It's way smaller. It also has many attachments. Only thing that sucks is that the brush is always on and can shoot large debris away if vacuuming hardwood or tile
CNET has really done a horrible job comparing the 2. First off, a cordless vacuum versus a corded one. They do not even bring the Dyson they are comparing to on the stage nor do they even using the shark as a working model. Sharks are known to burn out quickly while Dyson last for years. Owned the 2nd version of Dyson which is over 12+ years old and it still works perfectly to this day. I don't see where the Shark keeps up with the Dyson at all. Poor showing of the actual title.
Annnnnnnnd You compared a new Shark Vacuum to a 12 year old Dyson. Brand names and build quality change over time. Dont be a slave to what a brand once was thats just stupid.
Not really. CNET did an excellent job. They showed the advantages & disadvantages of both machines. You may not have had issues with Dysons but generally they are not built very well. if you think Dyson are quality, you obviously havent tried a SEBO. Dyson maybe cordless and Shark has a cord but users are still limited by the poor battery life. The Shark can go on longer obviously!
Shark Rocket. I bought it; I tried it; I RETURNED IT. This vacuum has poor suction. The TV ad is a lot of hype. There return policy is 60 days as I recall. To their customer service credit they responded well and returned my money. I wanted a vacuum for hardwood & ceramic flooring, it just didn't perform. I ended buying a Miele S4212 vacuum at Costco and it works extremely well.
My parents' dyson dc07 never lost suction and it is 11 years old and still more cyclones than the shark rocker upright, and it steers easier than the shark navigator I onced used to clean up a room in a dental office project with my dad. The shark handheld bagless vacuum I used when I was 6 years old broke because motor burned up when the vacuum is only 1 years old what a chinese made piece of junk.
Stupid comparison when one is corded and the other is cordless. How can the shark clean the car when the car is not near the house? It cannot. Dyson wins hands down.
rob p . Not possible when the car is over a main road. I cannot put a cord across the road. Besides . My comment says one is cordless and the other not. Stupid comparison just like a stupid wee man you are.
That's bull. The shark weighs a ton while the Dyson is lightweight. It's like comparing a Buick to a Mercedes. I own the Dyson for good reason. It's in everyway better
Unless you spend $1300 on a shitty dyson that works perfect for two years and burns the motor out suddenly. And the useless customer service from them totally ignores me. Lol... yeah i am not buying dyson again... Bring on the rocket.
Katrina Hunt You spent $1300 on a dyson ... that is your problem. First it is like 350 - 500 dollars. And no the motor does not burn in two years I have owned one for more than 2 years.
If the shark is corded then what the hell are you doing comparing it with a cordless vacuum? I can get a £30 corded that will be more powerful than a cordless but I still wouldn't buy it because I hate having a stupid cord. Compare like with like next time, but you never do that because the british Dyson vacuum would utterly destroy the American shark cordless vacuum and that just wouldn't do in America. Luckily others have made the comparison that shows what I say is true. Check out the Dyson V7 vs shark duoclean video. It shows how far ahead of Shark the Dyson cordless vacuums are.
