Shark Pet Cordless (Rocket Pet Pro)
Verdict
In this meta-focused review, the blue Shark Rocket Pet Pro lands in last place: despite good max-power runtime and some standout performances on specific carpet and edge maps, it suffers from mediocre suction, the only failed filtration fog test, non-removable rollers, and awkward maintenance. It may appeal to niche buyers who value long boost time and certain carpet strengths, but the reviewer generally does not recommend it.

Overall opinion ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 3.5Overall, the blue Rocket Pet Pro is framed as a lower mid-pack cordless with strong runtime but disappointing filtration, maintenance, and performance consistency, leading the reviewer to discourage most buyers from choosing it unless they have very specific reasons.
-
Carpet — High-Pile Pickup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.5Carpet and boss-style tests reveal that while the Rocket Pet Pro can perform well on certain carpet-heavy maps thanks to its brush design, it still ranks near the bottom overall compared with higher-end sticks.
Cons
-
Filtration / Dust Containment ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 3.3Filtration is a weak point here, as this model uses a simpler cloth filter that fails fog-style tests, allowing more fine particles to escape than HEPA-equipped vacuums from Dyson, Levoit, or Samsung.

Hard Floor — Fine Dust Pickup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.0On hard floors this model now shows inconsistent performance, struggling with low damage and slow clears on some maps while improving on others, leaving it behind Dyson and Samsung for general hard-floor use.
-
Weight ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.0A relatively light body with a somewhat heavier head gives the Rocket Pet Pro an overall mid-pack feel for weight, neither especially fatiguing nor notably effortless to use.
-
Maintenance requirements ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 1.5Maintenance is hampered by non-detachable rollers and a screw-dependent access design that the reviewer criticizes sharply, making deep cleaning awkward and discouraging frequent brush upkeep.
