I’m a longtime Shark owner. I still have my second Shark vacuum and added the Rocket for the parts of my home my five house rabbits reside in. Since they must have sufficient hay all the time, I have a difficult time keeping up the hay they have tossed out of their litterboxes.  And I’m allergic to their hay so I need to keep it up as much as possible. I use a rubber broom to get larger pieces of hay up, but the Rocket helps me keep the rooms clean without moving the larger vacuum through the place. It’s easy to empty, and has great suction. It’s really helped me with my allergies as well thanks to getting all the dust and such up and the HEPA filter. I don’t think I will ever use another brand of vacuum!
