There's crazier choices of vacuums you could pick for industrial use. I got a Dyson DC-something series (the big uprights with the multiple clutches and automatic leveling head) and it was used by a RV vinyl awning manufacturer to clean their lobby floor, breakroom, entryway, etc with. All that fine dust, let's just say it didn't last long in that environment. I bought it, but it needed a new circuit board for the electrics in it. The little chip must have overheated and fried. The plastic and rubber dust got absolutely everywhere in it in places you wouldn't believe. Also the entire soleplate was ground down to just the thickness of tissue paper from being run over concrete.
I'd read the warranty carefully again with the Shark. They will not cover it if it was used commercially. Also when Shark warranty a vacuum, they don't repair it at all. They just ship an entirely new one out once they say you are clear to receive a replacement. This can cause a delay in logistics which of course is not good when it involves business purposes. If using a Shark Rocket in a commercial setting, I'd set aside some money to have on hand to replace it. I have the newer purple Rocket as well as the early model that has that weird swappable brushroll for carpet and hard floors that you carry in a container, and I couldn't imagine them holding up long term in a home environment more or less in a office with paperclips, toner dust, tacks, rubber bands, etc. Just a lot of little hazards hiding around that could cripple it. All my Shark vacs have the weird issue I never could work out where they work great for about 3 months then they fall off a cliff and stop picking up as good as they used to. I have no idea why. All the filters are spotless and I even changed filters and it still persists. I suspect maybe there is a purge valve that sticks open or falls off I have no idea. |
