Shark Rocket DuoClean Ultra-Light Corded Stick Vacuum HV382

Pros

• Assembly and Setup 4.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.7
  Assembly is portrayed as quick and low-friction, with picture-based guides helping users get running fast. Installing the wall bracket is sometimes cited as the most time-consuming part of setup.
• Hair Pickup — Hard Floors 4.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.6
  Hard-floor pet hair and litter pickup are described as strong in owner reviews, aided by the DuoClean head and pet attachments. Longer hair can still migrate to the brushroll, making periodic cleaning important.
• Maintenance requirements 4.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.6
  Maintenance is generally viewed as user-friendly, with washable filters and unusually easy access to both brushrolls for cleaning. The main recurring maintenance need is removing wrapped hair, especially in pet homes.
• Under-Furniture Pickup 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.5
  Testing and owner reports highlight strong reach under couches and low furniture, helped by a low-clearance head and the ability to get close to flat. The handle can be the limiting factor at the deepest reach points under very low sofas.
• Pet-Ready Features 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.5
  Pet-focused tools like the TruePet or mini motorized brush are repeatedly highlighted as effective for fur on carpets and upholstery. A recurring caveat is hair tangling on the brushroll, which shifts some burden to maintenance.
• Overall durability/longevity 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  A long-term owner report (multi-year use) is strongly positive, suggesting the vacuum can hold up with routine care. Several reviews also cite a multi-year warranty, though long-term part availability may vary if the model is discontinued.
• Suitability for small spaces 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  Multiple reviews frame it as a good fit for apartments or smaller homes because it is compact, wall-mountable, and quick to grab for daily messes. Cord routing and the inability to park upright can still be inconvenient in tight living spaces.
• Hard Floor — Fine Dust Pickup 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.5
  Fine-dust pickup on hard floors is frequently praised, with the soft front roller described as lifting dusty film that otherwise needs wiping. One lab review disagreed, reporting poor kitchen-floor pickup without switching tools, suggesting surface and technique may matter.
• Floorhead design 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 8 reviews 4.5
  The DuoClean dual-brush floorhead is repeatedly credited for combining fine-dust pickup with large-debris intake and reducing snowplow effects. A downside mentioned in testing is that the brush can collect hair or contribute to a self-propel pull on carpets.
• Cord length 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.5
  The power cord is widely described as long (around 30 feet), enabling larger areas to be cleaned with fewer outlet changes. This helps offset some of the inherent inconvenience of being tethered.
• Versatility 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.5
  Versatility is a defining strength, thanks to multi-surface cleaning, handheld conversion, and an attachment set that covers upholstery, tight gaps, and under-appliance spaces. Multiple reviewers describe using it for whole-home cleaning, quick pickups, and even car interiors.
• Low-profile design 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.5
  A low-profile, near-flat cleaning posture is cited as a practical advantage for getting under furniture and reaching low edges. This complements its strong under-furniture reach in both testing and owner use.
• Tool-change simplicity 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.4
  Attachment changes are generally described as quick and intuitive, using release buttons or a foot pedal. One review notes some tools are friction-fit rather than snap-on, but they still stayed put during use.
• Area Rug Handling 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.4
  Area rugs are commonly cited as an easy transition surface, with DuoClean helping move between rugs and hard floors without swapping heads. The vacuum’s pull-forward glide can be helpful or annoying depending on preference.
• Crevice / Groove Pickup (Hard Floors) 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.4
  At least two reviews specifically note good crack and crevice extraction on hard floors, including pulling fine flour from between boards. This suggests above-average suction geometry for grooves compared with many stick vacs.
• Headlight & LED lights 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.4
  LED headlights are repeatedly praised as genuinely useful for spotting debris in dark corners and under furniture. Some reviewers even cite the lighting as a key differentiator versus other tested stick vacs.
• Maneuverability & Handling 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.4
  Swivel steering and a nimble head make it easy to snake around furniture and into tight areas, with strong under-furniture reach noted in testing. Some users report it can pull forward aggressively, making backward strokes feel more effortful.
• Stair Cleaning 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.4
  Handheld conversion plus a mini motorized brush make it a capable option for stair treads and edges. The main limiter is comfort, since the handheld configuration can feel heavier and more wrist-fatiguing than smaller hand vacs.
• Edge & Baseboard Cleaning (Hard Floors) 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.3
  Edge performance is generally strong, with tests reporting very little debris left along baseboards. Tight inside corners can still leave a few grains or require a second pass depending on debris type.
• Accessories & Tools 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.3
  Across sources, the accessory set is a major strength, with frequent mention of the under-appliance wand, crevice and upholstery tools, and a mini motorized brush. Even more critical reviews frame the attachments as the main reason the vacuum remains useful.
• Onboard tool storage 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.3
  Onboard and included storage solutions are a plus: multiple sources mention carrying a couple tools on the vacuum plus an accessory bag and wall mount. This helps keep frequently used tools accessible without a separate caddy.
• Upholstery / Above-Floor Pickup 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.3
  Above-floor cleaning is a highlight when paired with the mini motorized brush and upholstery tools, tackling furniture, curtains, vents, and shelves. Comfort can be limited by handheld bulk during longer sessions.
• Suction & Airflow 4.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 9 reviews 4.2
  Most reviews describe strong suction and cleaning power that can feel close to an upright, especially on hard floors. One lab-style review called overall suction weak and found hard-floor pickup inconsistent, so performance impressions are not unanimous.
• Hair Pickup — Carpets 4.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.2
  Carpet pet-hair pickup is generally strong, especially with the mini motorized brush, which is reported to lift embedded hair without stalling. Some tests note the front brush can collect hair rather than sending it fully into the bin in one pass.
• Cord management 4.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.2
  Cord handling features like quick-release hooks/levers are appreciated for speeding setup and put-away. Detailed cord-management feedback is limited, but the available mentions are positive.
• Ease of use 4.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 8 reviews 4.2
  Ease of use is broadly rated high thanks to swivel steering, quick mode switching, and straightforward tool swaps. The biggest ease-of-use negatives are cord hassle, the inability to park upright, and occasional need for extra passes on some carpets or debris.
• Overall opinion 4.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 9 reviews 4.2
  Overall sentiment is largely positive, emphasizing strong pickup, useful tools, and easy maneuvering. The main dissent focuses on inconsistent hard-floor pickup in one test and frustrations with weight, noise, and upright parking stability.
• Convertible handheld design 4.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.2
  Reviews consistently note that it converts into a handheld quickly for cars, furniture, vents, and spot jobs. The tradeoff is that the handheld unit can be bulky or heavy compared with smaller dedicated hand vacuums.
• Hard Floor — Large Debris Intake 4.1 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 8 reviews 4.1
  Most sources report strong pickup of larger debris like cereal, crumbs, rice, and oats, often in a single pass. In contrast, one test found it dropped rice and macaroni on hard floors, indicating outcomes can vary by test setup or debris type.
• Build quality & durability 4.1 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.1
  Build quality is generally described as solid for the category, with sturdy plastics and some metal components. The reviews do not surface widespread breakage patterns, but durability discussion is secondary to performance and handling.
• Price & Value 4.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.0
  Many reviewers position it as strong value, especially when priced well below premium cordless rivals, given its corded power and tool set. Others flag that pricing can creep up and that alternatives may be lighter or cheaper, so value depends on sale price and priorities.
• Comparative performance 4.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.0
  Several reviews claim performance that rivals uprights or outperforms many stick-vac competitors, especially in suction and hard-floor pickup. One comparative review is less impressed, arguing that lighter, cheaper, or more powerful options exist.
• Emptying & Mess Control 4.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.0
  Emptying is usually described as simple and quick via a bottom-release bin, with convenient removal from the body. Mess control can be affected by hair clinging inside the cup or needing frequent dumps because of limited capacity.
• Aesthetic design & finish 4.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0
  Design notes are generally positive but not a central theme: it is described as sleek and modern with a contemporary color scheme. No major finish-related complaints appear in the provided reviews.
• Support & Reliability 4.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0
  Warranty support is mentioned positively (multi-year coverage) in owner-oriented reviews. However, one test review notes the model is discontinued, which could affect long-term access to parts or official support.
• Carpet — High-Pile Pickup 4.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.0
  Reviews reference a high-pile mode and generally positive rug and plush-carpet cleaning, but quantified high-pile results are limited. Expect workable performance with occasional extra passes, rather than deep-cleaning equivalent to a full upright.
• Controls & UI 3.9 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 3.9
  Controls are mostly straightforward with simple power and floor-mode switches, but at least one detailed review found the mode labels confusing because they mainly change brushroll speed rather than suction. Once learned, operation is generally viewed as simple.
• Carpet — Medium-Pile Pickup 3.9 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 3.9
  Medium-pile cleaning is described as decent overall, though some debris can flick sideways and may need additional passes. Pet hair removal on medium pile improves notably when using the mini motorized tool.
• Self-propel feature 3.8 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.8
  Many describe a self-propelled or gliding feel that reduces push effort and makes it fun to use. Others find the pull-forward effect tiring on backstrokes or in tight control situations, so preference plays a big role.
• Weight 3.8 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 8 reviews 3.8
  Weight is polarizing: it is often called light compared with uprights but heavy for a stick vacuum, with quoted weights around 9–11 pounds depending on configuration. The handheld mode can feel top-heavy, which matters for stairs and above-floor work.
• Carpet — Low-Pile Pickup 3.8 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 3.8
  On low-pile carpet, performance is generally good but not flawless: some residual fine dust may remain without extra passes. Lab-style testing results cited in the reviews place it in the competitive middle-to-upper range for stick vacs.
• Bin & Bag 3.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 3.7
  The bagless dust cup is described as convenient to remove and dump, but often considered small for upright-style cleaning, leading to more frequent emptying. Some users report hair and debris sticking inside the bin or on internal surfaces.
• Noise level 3.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 3.6
  Noise impressions vary: several reviewers call it not overly loud or quieter than older Shark sticks, while a test-focused review labeled it among the loudest in its group. Expect noticeable sound on higher power, with tolerance depending on user expectations.
