Shark Rocket Complete: Here’s Why This Vacuum Shines So Bright in the Rocket Series

The Shark Rocket Complete with DuoClean Tech is an impressive stick vacuum that can be seamlessly turned into a handheld vac, which can easily outperform most more expensive stick vacs and even many of the full upright vacuums. With the Rocket series, Shark have really upped their game in recent year, and the Shark Rocket complete models are some of the best of the line. 

What Makes Shark Rocket Complete So Popular?

Ever since its release, Shark Rocket Complete has been an instant hit with the masses. Thousands of real purchasing users just can’t stop giving it rave reviews. We combed through those vacuum cleaner reviews and found some positive things that most users agree on and that make the Rocket Complete models shine so bright in the series. 

Weight

At nearly 10 lbs, the Shark Rocket Complete with DuoClean is relatively lightweight and a great tool for people with joint or back issues or for seniors overall. It is top heavy, which might upset some users, but the overall vacuum is very light for what it does. After all it is a stick vac able to outperform heavier upright vacs.

Compact

Another strong point of the Shark Rocket Complete is its compact construction. It takes little storage space, which makes it ideal for small spaces like small apartments and dorm rooms. 

Bagless

Forget about the added expenses a bagged vacuum cleaner incurs. This vacuum cleaner comes with a user-friendly emptying system and a 0.91-quart dust-cup capacity. The dust bin is rather small, and it might need to be emptied after each use, but for a stick vac, it is a rather accomodating one.

DuoClean Tech

The absolute strong point of all Shark Rocket Duo Clean models is the DuoClean system itself, which allows them to move effortless from one type of surface to another without having to manually change the attachment. The Shark Rocket Complete is an amazing tool for multi-floor homes, being able to clean both carpets and hard floors equally well with the push of a button. 

Plush carpets are no match for the Shark Complete either, as this machine is an incredibly powerful little sucker on the high setting. Hardwood floors or linoleum are in safe hands with this vacuum as the roller for hard surfaces is as gentle as it can be. You will not have to worry about large crumbs on hard floor either, as the dual brush design will take care of the problem for you.

Versatility

The Shark Complete models are insanely versatile vacuum cleaners. From the floor to ceiling, there’s an attachment or way of using them to get the job done superbly. On the floors, this vacuum lies flat enough to get in hard to reach places such as under the furniture. It also picks up well along the edge of the walls. 

High ceilings are no match for this machine either thanks to its 3 ft wand which can be detached to turn the stick vacuum into a handheld for furniture, car, and other things that need some spot cleaning. The Shark Rocket Complete comes with some handy attachments, like the TruPet motorized tool (often sold separately).

The attachments usually vary between the Rocket complete models. For instance, the HV382 comes with the motorized pet brush while the HV381 comes with a suction driven one.  On the other hand, some models, such as the HV381, have all the critical accessories provided, while for the HV382, for instance, you’ll need to order those separately. Reading a review of the three Shark Rocket Duoclean vacuum cleaners compared to one another should give you a better grasp of what you should expect from each model when ordering one.

LEDS

This vacuum cleaner shines bright, literally. It has powerful LED lights on the hand vac and power nozzle to help you spot every speck of dirt even in low light conditions. 

No Batteries Required

The Rocket Complete comes with a 30-ft long cord so that you can easily reach every corner of your home with ease. Since it doesn’t run on batteries in handheld mode either, you won’t have to worry about it needing to be charged every 10 to 15 minutes or so. Unlike older vacuums, it doesn’t require a LR44 battery or a SR battery either (you can learn about the difference between LR and SR batteries here), which is also a big plus.
