The video first discusses the three groups of Shark Rocket Cordless vacuums. Namely, the Shark Rockets, the Shark Rocket Pros, and the Shark Rocket Pet Pros. We have a Shark Rocket Pro – model IZ140C which comes with a 2 tools, a charger, filters, a quick start guide and an owner’s manual.

We like that the Rocket is both a stick vacuum and a handheld vacuum. By simply removing the wand you get a handheld vacuum. Tools fit on both the end of the handheld or on the end of the wand – if want extra reach. In addition, the tools snap securely into place and can only be removed by depressing a button. They are not compression fit and as a result do not suffer from such issues as falling off while you are vacuuming, or becoming stuck such that they are difficult to detach.

The tools provided with the vacuum are also fairly robust. They do not feel flimsy in any way. The crevice tool is quite long and the upholstery tool head swivels.

The Rocket Pro cordless is a slim machine. This is nice as it makes it fairly easy to store (doesn’t take up much room). In addition, the cleaner head is low and therefore capable of getting under low furniture. The unit is lightweight at about 7.3 lbs and the cleaner head swivels quite easily by twisting your wrist and arm. We find it easy to move and to steer.

There are three filters on the vacuum and they are easy to access and to maintain. To access the filters you need to remove the dust canister and there is a canister release button on the side of the handheld unit. There are 2 pre-motor filters - 1 felt and 1 foam. Both can be rinsed in water. There is also a post motor filter (it is not a HEPA filter in our model). The post motor filter can also be rinsed in water and reused.

We find emptying the dust canister quite easy, despite having to remove the wand in order to open the dust canister door (which some folks don't like).

We show the brushroll of the NV682 which is traditional – a couple of rows of bristles. Alongside this we show the Shark Rocket Pro brushroll which has no bristles at all but rather fins. We discuss how different this approach is.

We undertake cleaning tests on low pile carpet and bare flooring (tile). We test the Shark Rocket Pro cordless against the Shark IONFlex (IF252) and the Dyson V8 Absolute. Percentage pickup is calculated, shown on a white board, and discussed.

A cleaning test using short white pet hair and long black human hair is also done using the Shark Rocket Pro and the Dyson V7. You can see the hair pickup and also the resulting hair wrap on the brushrolls. The Shark Rocket Pro has Zero-M technology which is designed to limit hair wrap on the brushroll. In the video you can clearly see that this technology works.

I would like to point out that I make every effort to be unbiased in my videos. If there is something about a product I do not like - I will let you know!
