Product Overview
The Shark HV322 Rocket Deluxe Pro is an electric stick vacuum for hard flooring, carpeting, stairs, upholstered furniture and pet hair. This product has a lightweight frame that allows users to easily transition from a full-sized vacuum into a portable hand-held vacuum which makes cleaning the tops of shelves or inside tight spaces much simpler.
This product contains the built-in LED lights on the end of its floor nozzle to illuminate dark areas to assist users in locating dust/dirt/debris. It also includes various accessories for cleaning pet hair, tight spaces and details around furniture & stairs.
Customers Say
Many consumers have expressed satisfaction with the cleaning performance as a result of its strong suction, and stated they are satisfied with how well the Shark HV322 performed on all types of floor (carpet & hardwood). Consumers have repeatedly stated the Shark HV322 cleans pet hair, crumb, dust and other household debris efficiently from their floors, and does so without the weight of a full size vacuum cleaner.
Another highly praised feature by users was the ability to convert the hand held section off of the main body. This allows the user to clean stairs, furniture, cars and anything else which may need to be cleaned from above. The LED lights also allow the consumer to find dirt/debris in areas where it would have been easily overlooked.
Some common issues complained about this product include the management of the cord, as opposed to a cordless model; the top heavy design of the product makes long time use with the hand held portion tiresome; and the dust cup requires regular emptying. Additionally some consumers reported that pet hair will get wrapped around the roller bar of the product and must be manually removed.
