Mom bought a Shark Rotator from Sam's last sale, and she loves it. I'm in a smaller place, thus my decision to get this size when the Rocket went on sale. It's great for what I need as a light alternative, and compact when it's done with what it does best. Would buy a stick vacuum again.

Pros: Picks up so much dust! Good size to vacuum under the bed. Easy to use and store. Dust cup is easy to empty. Like the washable filter. Cons: Took me a little while to get used to it not standing up on its own. The cord is a little shorter than my last vacuum, but I'm getting used to the new length. Gets heavy to use since the motor is at the top of the wand, so I have to be careful not to aggravate my arthritis in my hand.

It's lightweight. It's got great suction. It's so easy to empty the dust canister. The canister will be super easy to rinse out when it needs to be cleaned. The one thing I would like to change about it is you must lay it down when when you are not vacuuming. It is too top heavy to stand up.

Vacuum does not pickup dust or small debris very well on laminate or tile. Edge cleaning around baseboards is not very good either. We have a couple of furniture pieces that the vacuum won't go under. It does fairly well on carpet, but the canister is small, fills up fast and since it's not a bag, dust particles go everywhere when you empty it. I've decided it's going back and I'm going back to a bagged canister vacuum...

I have a lot of back and neck pain, and a large vacuum is just painful to use. This vacuum is so light I dont have a problem using it. It is easy to switch between the floor brush roll and the handheld use as well. It picks up our pets' fur from the hard wood floors like a dream (and there is a lot of it). We have an area rug (medium pile) and this vacuum just seem to sink in making it nearly impossible to vacuum. I dont know if something is wrong with it or if this particular model just doesn't work well with carpet. But for how quick and easy it is to clean the majority of our house, I'm keeping it.

The Shark Rocket Self-Cleaning Vacuum is lightweight and nimble. It picks up very fine dirt that you wouldn't even know is there. Dust cup will get you through a thorough cleaning before having to be emptied. The LED lights allow you to see in dark spots such as under beds and furniture. The vacuum will stand up on its own by attaching the handle to the powerhead and the metal tube on top. Takes up very little room! If you are thinking about this model then go ahead. You won't be disappointed.

It has great suction. I like that I can detach the wand for portable cleaning and upright storage on the bottom of the vacuum pole. The cord is nice and long so there is no disruption during cleaning. Only dislike is that it is unable to stand upright by itself while everything is attached because of how heavy the wand is compared to the body. I'm still happy with my purchase though.

I have had two Rocket Vac's, and loved them (one for each home) so when I saw this one on sale, I bought it for my sister. Mine didn't have the self-cleaning brush roll, and this one did. My sister has fur babies and she loves the vac. The only thing she mentioned is that it has to lean up against something to store it. I highly recommend this vac.

I bought this for our camper. We need something that is powerful but compacted stores in a small cabinet. We have not used it in the camper yet. I have used it in the house and it does a great job. The self-cleaning brush head does what it is supposed to do. We have a cat and my wife quilts. There are threads wrapped around every other vacuum brush but not this one. Great power. I am amazed at how much I empty out each time I use it. Really works great.

I purchased this vaccum about a month ago after doing lots of research, and I'm so happy I did. Vaccum is lighweight and makes for easy cleaning. I can effortlessly vaccum my various floors, stairs and it picks up stubborn pet hair. I would highly recommend this vaccum.
