The vacuum cleaner works well: powerful, I love the led light in front, making it easy to spot dirt. Being with the cord, is much more powerful than other cordless competitors, still it is light enough to be used easily and quickly. However, after two month of use, I noticed some wearing off of the rubber plastic of the handle. It hasn't been exposed to any chemical, it just started peeling off out of regular use. Not really a sign of good design, or quality materials.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
This isn’t our usual standard and we apologize for how frustrating this must be. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we take it seriously. We’ll pass it along to the relevant teams for future development.
I bought this on the recommendatin of a friend. It really cleans/picks up . But it is top heavy. It needs a counter balance on it. Have to lay it down every time if you stop for example to move furniture. Hopefully something can be down about that in the design future.
I bought the Shark Rocket corded stick vacuum almost 15 years ago! Just today I've lost the hinge that holds the debris door closed. Been thru the trash 3 times, but to no avail. I'm going to order another right now. It is the best light weight vacuum I've ever owned.
This vacuum has seriously strong suction—it picks up everything, even from carpets and tight corners. It makes cleaning feel effortless. The only downside is the price. It’s definitely an investment, but if you’re looking for power and performance, it delivers

It falls over if you try to stand it up and more

There are 2 things I don't like about the Rocket. First, the hair gets really bound up around the roller. I have to cut it off after each use. Second, the Rocket can not stand up on it's own. It falls over. You can store it by taking the motor part off and putting it on the hook which isn't bad but when you are using it the falling over part is bad. If you try to pick something up to vacuum, it can fall over. I always lay mine on the floor. Third, the filters get filled up fast which does mean it is picking stuff up. It does have good suction for a small vacuum and the price is fair. I would not buy one with out the anti hair wrap feature.
