Replacing any household appliance or gadget can be a frustrating task, especially with the many different models available to choose from and the ever rising costs, especially those of the latest and greatest models. With these things in mind, it was with great pleasure that I accepted the opportunity to work with Shark to review one of their innovative Shark Rocket Powerhead models. It was just the thing my family needed to help make our vacuum relates chores easier and to help me from losing my mind while trying to choose between all the brands and models available on the market today.

Developed by SharkNinja Operating LLC, Shark is one of several house-care brands owned by CEO Mark Rosen. By providing highly functional, innovative products products, SharkNinja has made a place for themselves in a significant market share in the housewares industry. Since getting their start, in Boston three generations ago, SharkNinja has become one of the leading companies in their niche. From innovative products like their chemical-free steam mops to their state of the art blender systems, SharkNinja products have been positively impacting the lives of people in homes all around the world!The Shark Rocket Powerhead is the latest addition to our favorite appliances. It’s compact design makes it super easy to take just about anywhere in our house and only 9lbs so it’s incredibly easy to lug around without having to ask for assistance, unlike some bulkier models that make you feel like your arms might just fall off just from moving it from one room to the next!

Benefits of the Shark Rocket Powerhead include:

  • Fingertip controls that allow you to switch from carpet to hard floors seamlessly.
  • 9lbs for ease of portability.
  • Multiple Surface Brush.
  • 2 speeds to choose from.
  • Pop up dust cup with quick release foot pedal.
  • Brushroll Garage that include removable and rinseable brushrolls.
  • Gentle Touch hard-floor brushroll for enhanced hard-floor cleaning.
  • Additional brushroll holster that attaches to the wand of the vacuum for easy brushroll exchange.

I’ve always been a huge fan of Shark products, particularly my steam mop, but I admit that I didn’t think this vacuum would compare well next to my Oreck XL. Boy, was I wrong. The Shark Rocket Powerhead is not only easier to manipulate but picks up more dirt and dust than my Oreck (for much less money, I might add!). The other thing I love about the Shark compared to my old vacuum is that it has a dust cup versus a bag for collection. It might seem like a minor thing but it’s very frustrating to be in the middle of house cleaning and realizing that your vacuum bag is full but you don’t have a replacement!

If you are considering a new vacuum for yourself to help tackle all that cleaning before holiday guests, or if you’re looking for a great gift for anyone setting up house (think: college kids!), this vacuum is most definitely worth the investment!
