I love shark vacuums and have had several in the past- they are affordable, reliable and work well. I currently have a cordless Dyson as my primary vacuum, so adding this Shark Rocket Pro corded machine to my lineup is perfect. It has a nice long cord for ease of use, has great suction power, and works well on both hard surfaces and the area rugs we have. I like the generous size of the dust collection cup as well. Overall I’m really pleased with this machine, and thank Influenster and Shark for the opportunity to test this out!
