Shark Rocket DuoClean Ultra-Light Corded Stick Vacuum HV382

Verdict

The Shark Rocket DuoClean HV382 is a long-lasting, lightweight corded stick that delivers strong multi-surface cleaning and excellent hard-floor dust pickup even after years of use. It is a great choice if you want near-upright cleaning performance in a compact form and do not mind managing a long power cord and occasionally clearing hair from the brushroll.

Pros

  • Versatility 5 reviews 4.8
    Lightweight stick-and-handheld design with DuoClean head and multiple tools lets it handle floors, cars, furniture, and tight spaces with a single machine.
  • Suction & Airflow 6 reviews 4.8
    Reviewers highlight very strong everyday pickup, with the dual brush system grabbing fine dust and large debris in one or two passes and even pulling flour from floorboard cracks, giving near-upright cleaning power for a compact stick vacuum.
  • Hard Floor — Fine Dust Pickup 4 reviews 4.8
    Handles fine dust on hard floors very well, typically clearing flour and similar particles in a couple of passes and lifting dust from gaps between boards.
  • Hard Floor — Large Debris Intake 4 reviews 4.8
    Excels at large debris on hard floors, quickly removing rice, cereal, and oats in a single pass with minimal scattering.
  • Ease of use 5 reviews 4.7
    Simple handle-mounted controls, swivel steering, wall mount storage, and quick-swap attachments make it very easy to use for everyday cleanups, and the straightforward design with easy bin and brushroll access keeps the experience intuitive for a wide range of users.
  • Accessories & Tools 3 reviews 4.7
    Ships with a good selection of tools and a wall mount, can carry a couple of attachments on the wand, includes a storage bag to keep extra accessories organized, and even a small hair-cutting brush tool that makes clearing the roller easier.
  • Headlight & LED lights 3 reviews 4.7
    Built-in LED headlights on the floorhead make it easier to see dust and debris, especially when cleaning under furniture or in dimly lit areas, adding useful visibility without extra effort.
  • Maneuverability & Handling 5 reviews 4.6
    Users find it easy to steer and pivot thanks to the swiveling head and balanced design, so it turns with a simple twist of the handle and feels nimble around furniture and tight spaces.
  • Overall opinion 5 reviews 4.6
    Reviewers consistently rate this model among the better corded sticks, with testing awarding it one of the top overall scores for its powerful cleaning, versatility, and value while accepting trade offs like noise, a small dust cup, weight, and reliance on a power cord.
  • Convertible handheld design 4 reviews 4.5
    Converts from a stick into a handheld unit, giving it flexible reach for cars, stairs, and tight spaces where a full-size upright would struggle.
  • Price & Value 4 reviews 4.5
    Often highlighted as a strong value pick because it delivers near-upright cleaning performance and DuoClean features, though its price creeps into a higher tier compared with some sticks, making it best for shoppers who prioritize cleaning power over a rock-bottom budget.
  • Hair Pickup — Hard Floors 2 reviews 4.5
    The main brushroll picks up hair from hard floors effectively, though long strands may still collect on the roller over time and need periodic cleaning.
  • Under-Furniture Pickup 2 reviews 4.5
    Reaches far under furniture while keeping the head flat on the floor, with reach more limited by handle angle than by the cleaning head itself.
  • Accessories & Tools 1 review 4.5
  • Controls & UI 1 review 4.5
  • Cord management 1 review 4.5
    A quick-release cord hook lets you flip a lever to drop the wrapped cord all at once, making setup faster than manually unwinding it loop by loop.
  • Edge & Baseboard Cleaning (Hard Floors) 1 review 4.5
    Offers strong edge and baseboard cleaning, usually leaving only a few stray grains behind even in the tightest corners.
  • Hair Pickup — Carpets 1 review 4.5
  • Overall durability/longevity 1 review 4.5
    Owners report using the vacuum for five or more years without major issues, suggesting solid long-term durability for a compact corded stick.
  • Suitability for small spaces 1 review 4.5
  • Upholstery / Above-Floor Pickup 1 review 4.5
  • Carpet — Low-Pile Pickup 4 reviews 4.4
    Delivers solid low pile carpet cleaning, usually picking up all debris with one or two passes though it can leave a little dust behind on the first sweep.
  • Cord length 2 reviews 4.3
    The power cord is fairly long, allowing users to cover multiple rooms or larger areas with fewer outlet changes than shorter-corded sticks.
  • Pet-Ready Features 2 reviews 4.3
    Handles most pet hair on hard floors and carpet effectively, though owners with heavy shedders may need to clear collected hair from the brushroll periodically.
  • Weight 6 reviews 4.2
    At around 10 pounds it is heavier than many stick vacuums yet still much lighter than a typical upright, so while some users find the handheld section bulky and tiring for long above-floor sessions, others describe it as lightweight and easy to manage for carrying between rooms and quick cleanups.
  • Carpet — Medium-Pile Pickup 2 reviews 4.0
    Performs well on medium pile carpet overall, especially with cereal and larger debris, but may scatter some grains before collecting them with extra passes.
  • Aesthetic design & finish 1 review 4.0
  • Build quality & durability 1 review 4.0
  • Bin & Bag 4 reviews 3.8
    The compact dust cup is easy to access and empty thanks to its improved design, but its small capacity means it fills quickly and may require frequent trips to the trash in larger homes.
  • Storage footprint & upright-stand stability 3 reviews 3.5
    Stores neatly on the included wall mount or by docking the top section lower on the body so it can stand more stably in a closet or corner, but it cannot truly stand upright on its own so many users still end up leaning or hanging it between uses.
  • Maintenance requirements 1 review 3.5
    Brushrolls and rollers are easy to access via snap-open panels, and the soft front roller can be rinsed with soap and water, though parts need to dry fully before being put back into service.

Cons

  • Noise level 5 reviews 3.3
    Some owners describe it as fairly quiet for a compact corded stick, but lab-style testing has still ranked it among the louder models, so motor noise remains clearly audible and may be noticeable in smaller homes or over longer sessions.
  • Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance 4 reviews 3.1
    The DuoClean brush design can move some hair off the roller and into the bin, but longer pet hair still tends to collect on the front brush, so occasional manual detangling is required.
  • Filtration / Dust Containment 3 reviews 3.0
    Lacks advanced sealed HEPA filtration, so it is less suited to allergy sufferers despite otherwise strong cleaning performance.
  • Cordless convenience 3 reviews 2.2
    As a corded stick it offers unlimited runtime and strong, consistent suction but no cordless freedom, so you have to manage a long power cord and it best suits buyers who do not mind being tethered while vacuuming.
