Shark Rocket Video Review – The One Vacuum That Does It All

Shark Rocket Video Review – The One Vacuum That Does It All

By: Ashley

clip_image002I am already a true fan of Shark products. A Shark Navigator was one of the first purchases I made after we moved into our new house. When I found out I was going to get to review a new Shark Rocket, I was thrilled! Shark provided the product for this review, but all of the opinions are my own.

Shopping for a vacuum is tough. You want to find the one product that can do it all: carpets, area rugs, tight spaces, stairs, bare floors… and you want that vacuum without having to skip your mortgage or rent payment for the month. With a MSRP of $179.99, the Rocket is an affordable (yes, expensive, but not ridiculous) vacuum that handles any job in your home with ease. Check out this video review to see the Shark Rocket in action, find out how to use the attachments, and see how to store your vacuum.

 

The Shark Rocket has some serious deep cleaning powers when it comes to carpet. After just vacuuming our living room the day before, the Rocket was able to pull up all kinds of dirt, dust and general yuck. (Check out the before and after pictures below.) It never has any problems cleaning up pet hair and the canister is super easy to empty.

I absolutely love how well it cleans bare floor. I noticed that the hardwoods seemed super clean when I used the special bare floor attachment, but even I was surprised at how well the Rocket passed the oatmeal test in the video! I also love how the Rocket makes vacuuming stairs as easy as it can be. It’s one of my least favorite chores, but the self propelled action and the light, easy to maneuver vacuum make it so much better.

The Shark Rocket is available at most major retailers. I know most people would tell you that getting someone a vacuum as a gift is a horrible idea, but I completely disagree. This is a tool that will make your day to day life a little easier… and a lot cleaner!

Here’s the product description from Shark:

ROCKET TECHNOLOGY – Shark re-engineered the full-size vacuum, focusing on the high-performance essentials and trimming away every unnecessary ounce to give you the ultimate in vacuuming versatility without sacrificing performance. 
ERGONOMIC HANDLE – Comfort handle with rubberized grip provides more control and prevents slipping. 
TWO SPEED BRUSH ROLL – Two powerful settings for all your floor needs. Deep cleaning carpets by removing embedded dirt, and gentle on bare floors and delicate area rugs. 
EASY TO EMPTY DUST CUP – Hold the dust cup over the trash and press the bottom door release button on the front to empty. 
CLEANING WAND – Quick release wand for extra reach when cleaning above floors. 
WASHABLE FILTERS – High quality filters require minimal maintenance and never need replacing. 
STORAGE HOOKS – Slot on the bottom of the dust cup that hooks on to the bottom of the wand or onto a wall with the wall mount. 
WALL MOUNT – Wall Mount for unit storage without taking up closet space. Great for hanging the accessory bag too!

Experience The Shark Sonic Duo Ultimate in Floor Cleaning

June 20, 2013 by Momstart Leave a Comment

By Rachel

Awhile back, Louise asked me offered me the chance to try out this nifty floor cleaning machine called the Sonic Duo made by Shark. Ever since we moved into this house a year ago, my floors have been a constant stressor for me. Why? Because the hard floors are all wood and the carpet is almost white! Sounds wonderful to anyone who does not have 3 kids and a dog. But for me, it’s a disaster! I’m constantly reminding my kids to take off their shoes, not to eat in rooms with carpet, put a lid on your cup, don’t let the dog in with muddy feet, etc. But still, dirt happens. It’s part of life.

When it came time to use it, my son put assembled it for me. He said it was a snap. We decided to attack the carpet in the family room for our first trial. Hubby moved all the furniture out, I got it all vacuumed, and then it was time to take pictures. SCARY!

That big dark streak is not a shadow. That’s the piece of floor directly in front of our couch.

So then it was time to read the instructions, fill up solution bottles, attach the right cleaning pad, and actually clean this nasty carpet!

clip_image006

My first thought was that it look kind of futuristic. It’s very light and compact. NOT like a typical heavy, clunky carpet cleaning machine.

My next thought was, “how in the heck is that going to clean my carpet with a pad?” There were no brushes or rollers, and no suction!

clip_image008

It was kind of cool to watch this thing work. It’s back and forth motion is so quick, and, believe it or not, it really did clean my carpet.

clip_image010

clip_image012

The spot in front of the couch is still a little bit visible, however, we forgot that we had a bottle of the pretreating Carpet Stain and Odor Remover. It probably would have come out better if we’d started with that. What I really appreciated was that the carpet cleaner solution is low moisture, meaning the carpet was dry in just a couple of hours! You just vacuum your carpet like you normally would and you’re ready to go!

So next I had to try it on my wood floors. I found the right solution and the right pad and got to work.

clip_image014 clip_image016

The best thing I noticed was how easy it was to push around. The head swivels , so you can get it anywhere, at any angle. It’s very maneuverable around obstacles like toilets, and you can pretty much get it right, flush up against the wall. Even better than that is the low profile front, so I could actually get it under my kitchen cabinets and into that place where nothing fits except crumbs and splatters.

AND, I guess it worked:clip_image018

Additional Shark Sonic Duo ($249 MSRP) features include:

  • 180-degree swivel steering and enhanced air glide maneuverability

· Safe for all floor surfaces including carpets, area rugs, hardwood, tile, marble, stone, laminate and linoleum

· Non-toxic, biodegradable formulas that are safe for children and pets

  • Additional features include:

o Activating Pretreater Carpet Stain and Odor Remover

o Two reusable bottles for carpet and hard floor cleaning solutions

o Low Moisture -No-Rinse-Carpet Cleaner

o Wood and Hard Floor Cleaner

o Wood and Hard Floor Polish

o Carpet/Rug Cleaning Pad

o Hard Floor Cleaning Pad

o Hard Floor Polishing Pad

o Carpet Scrub ‘n Stain Pad

o Storage Tray

I would say Sonic Duo lives up to the Shark name and reputation.

I Love O-Cedar ProMist Wet or Dry Floor Cleaning System Giveaway

August 16, 2010 by Momstart 663 Comments

I’ve been struggling to clean my floors for a while. The Swiffer Wet Jet has not been my friend, and my neighbor told me that he’s been having trouble with his too. So much so that he pushed so hard on his that the snapped it in half. The problem is, it doesn’t scrub the floor it only wipes it off. I have the same problem and figured that I’ll be spending the rest of my life on my hands and knees getting those stickier messes off of the floor.

image Then, O-Cedar sent me the ProMist Wet or Dry Floor Cleaning System for free to review. I like it for quite a few reasons, the biggest being that it CLEANS my floor without me having to get on all fours.

The other reasons:

image

It does not use a battery to spray.

I can use my own solution, and I like to use hot water and soap. We’re only supposed to be using soap and water on our hard wood floors so it’s nice to know that I’m taking care of our floor.

It does Dry mopping and wet mopping

There are different kinds of pads

The pads are re-usable

image image image

 

 

My neighbor liked it too and wanted to know where you can buy it. So I wanted to make sure that I included that information in this review. It can be purchased at quite a few locations Costco, Kmart, ACE, Target, Walmart, Winn Dixie, and Wallgreens. Of course the location list goes on.

The only negative is that the spraying isn’t consistent. But I still love it!
