Looks great, and equipped with an electric power nozzle to boot. I know some love them while others hate them, but it's always good to see more choices in that particular category. The machine itself seems rather quiet too, especially for a bagless, and that removable chassis is genius.
What kind of separation system does it have - is it a Dyson clone of sorts, or direct filter, and how resistant is it to clogging? Got to say some of the Shark and Morphy Richards vacs coming out at the moment do look very good, even more so when you compare the price to the competition. And they seem to be getting a lot of positive reviews as well from what I've read. Enjoy, and let us know more about it as you put it through its paces! |

well first impressions are good, i'd happily pay good money for a decent bagless cylinder with a powerhead. I hope Shark take off in the UK |

You have no idea how loud the Rocket is. I bought one from China Mart to try out, and took it back the next day. I thought the tornado sirens were going off. Deafeningly loud. The power nozzle on the cylinder vac is the same as the nozzle on the Rocket. If any part of it breaks (wheel, brush roller) the entire assembly has to be replaced - no individual parts for it.

That actually sounds rather pleasant. I think it looks pretty good and sounds pretty good for a Shark. It also has a wire reinforced hose versus most of the springy hoses that come with canisters today. I wonder if it will come into production in either the U.K. or the U.S. |

As far as bagless cleaners go, the morphy Richards/Shark vacuums are the ebst in my experience. I also think that these types of cyclones - single, as the most efficient. They never seem to clog. I am still impressed with my morphy Richards branded navigator lift away and am thrilled that the rotator has landed in the UK.
So is this model a mass market cleaner? Only I cant see it on Shark US product page. I will admit it looks great. And di it really pull that muck out that even your Miele left behind ? Also, how decent is the brush bar? Are the bristle soft, dense or both? Only that is a slight problem with the previous sharks, which I found on ymy hall and living room carpets which are densely pilled. |

Josh, I'd be looking at the Dyson stick copy Rocket can't wait for them to launch it, really hope they Lso offer the accessories that they do in the US like the powered turbobrush and the hard floor tool with microfibre cloth!

The brushroll look the same as the shark navigator lift away, minus the strip to cut threads, maybe the extra suction power helps, either way this is very impressive looking.
Well, that is interesting. Well if you look on shark US homepage, there is no mention of this. However, id you message them back with your opinion of it, considering you did test and evaluate it ? |

Well, I must say this new Shark canister looks really good!! It will give Dyson a good run for their money, especially since Dyson has decided not to design new powerhead canister models & stick to the turbinehead models instead. Consumers won't like that & will look for alternatives like this Shark. And it doesn't hurt that it is quiet, has swivel steering & overall good design. If this comes to Canada, I am definitely buying one!

The Shark Rocket stick vac is the one I bought, and returned due to being excessively loud. You can't begin to imagine how loud that tiny little motor would be, running on 240 volts. Until you get one, you can't imagine the shrill scream of that motor, and it's close to your ear because it's in your hand. The capacity is minimal, it feels heavy in your hand, and the filters dirty immediately. Given a choice between the Dyson hand vac and the Shark, the shark is a better value BUT it's so loud in use that you can't and won't want to, use it very long.
That's not the only Shark canister prototype. Tacony has the prototype for the US version in the engineering department. It was sent to us by the manufacturer (not Shark), as we were thinking of sourcing the power nozzle for a Fuller Brush brand canister. You wouldn't believe how many prototypes we receive from China of machines that appear one or two years later under assorted brand names. |
