“DuoClean Technology” means a combination of a bristle brush and soft roller for fine dust and small and large particles on both carpets and floors
“MultiFLEX Technology” folds over for compact, free-standing storage and provides flexible reach to get under beds, couches, and tables
“Anti-Allergen Complete Seal Technology” captures and traps 99.9% of dust and allergens inside the vacuum, including pollen, plant spores, pet allergens, and other particles, down to 1 micron.
“Active-Glide Technology” provides a smooth ride over thresholds and across bare floors
“Noise Reduction Technology” for a quieter experience compared to older shark Rocket models
Removable dust cup for easy emptying and a brushroll garage for quick and easy access from the top of the vacuum
Converts to a handheld vacuum to easily clean stairs, furniture, and other above-floor surfaces
Under-Appliance Wand Extends to clean underneath hard-to-move appliances and furniture. Flip extension over to clean the underside of appliances.
Pet Multi Tool - Two cleaning tools in one. Stiff bristle brush removes stuck-on debris from a multitude of surfaces. Detach the bristles to reveal an upholstery tool for cleaning stubborn pet hair.
Duster Crevice Tool - Also two cleaning tools in one. The crevice tool provides extended reach into small spaces, while the dusting brush cleans a multitude of surfaces.
Did you know that headlights on vacuums date back to the late 1800s/early 1900s when homes that had electricity would often only have light sockets, so to vacuum one would have to unscrew a bulb and plug the vacuum into the socket. Anyway this vacuum has LED lights on the nozzle too

I usually just skulk around here and buy the occasional thing. But I bought one of these dual-brush babies a while back - at retail.
Lemme tell you: that soft brush at the front is revolutionary: It softly picks up the finest dust and the biggest chunks of cat food and whisks them toward the mama brush - which puts them away without blowing them somewhere else. I can clean dust right up to the baseboards because the soft brush deforms slightly when pushed up against a flat surface, and thus cleans in the little gap that a solid cylinder misses.
I’ve owned probably two dozen vacuums in the last 50 years. And this is - by far - the best.
Also: the mama brush has two speeds - slow and gentle for hard surfaces, and fast and aggressive for carpets. It’s great on cat hair.
@jrisken I agree. I actually bought the last shark vacuum sold by meh. It has the two rotors and it is a game changer! In addition to cleaning the floor (tile, carpet, and even our thick area rugs) the brushes are easy to remove and clean.
Same with the air filters: they are easily removed, and you can clean them with water and put them back instead of having to buy new ones.
Lastly, the light weight and small size of the vacuum is awesome. It makes it easy to pick up to vacuum spider webs off the ceiling and it also makes it really maneuverable.
Buy this vacuum. It will make your house 70% cleaner, and your wife will love you 140% more whenever you remind her that you bought her a shark vacuum from meh for your anniversary. Doing so effectively ends 30% of our arguments before they even start.
Shark makes my favorite non-canister/bagless vacuums in the Rocket series, and this is a Rocket with a bendy bit in the middle. I don’t think the bendy bit adds enough utility to justify the price increase at retail - I’ve never had any trouble getting the brush head under something tall enough to accommodate it even without it - but this is a pretty good deal regardless.
These are light, store small, have an actual powered brush head, and provide a lot of suction in a small package.
The only significant complaint I have about these is the capacity of the bin - if you’re doing more than about 1,000 square feet at a time, and/or if your floors are really dirty, expect to have to stop and empty the bin a couple times. Even that isn’t really a big deal though, as the bin comes out easily and has an internal cover to keep all the crap inside while you take it to the trash.
For folks with mobility issues who have trouble lifting or dragging around a canister vacuum, these are the best bang for the buck.
@RedOak It happens! Who among us hasn’t dreamed of a more efficient way to eat corn on the cob? While he may have failed rather catastrophically in that endeavor, there is a silver lining: If he orders one of these vacuums, he can let us know how well it picks up teeth.
I’m going to give it a shot - we have a long-rangey house with a small second story and scattered vacuum situations throughout, This sounds like what we need, instead of dragging the old Kenmore canister around. Besides, we need to get up to our national vacuum ownership average.
My in-laws have this vacuum and it has a few non-obvious design flaws: 1) it’s 10 lbs, but 8 are in the handle, and 2) it doesn’t stand on it’s own in vacuum mode. Both flaws make much less easy to use than you expect. It’s a workout to cover larger areas and you can’t easily pause to move stuff out of the way.
Problem with Shark vacuums?..they do not support parts suppliers or vacuum stores with parts or accessories or warranty service. In fact, you void your warranty if a vacuum store touches any shark vac. Everything has to go through Shark including repair.
I know that for fact as I am a Miele-Dyson-Riccar-Bissell dealer in the Midwest.
@fastharry That certainly is an issue unless it is so cheap you treat it as disposable. Of course then you contribute to the landfill problem. And, of course, who has room to keep the original box to send it back?
@Kidsandliz yep, that’s right…all it takes is 3 minutes of search to learn about how unserviceable they are. I have taken them apart…all little wring running everywhere, micro switches, relays, snap together plastic…Absolutely NOT designed with service (even changing a belt) in mind.
Just got a Dyson Cinetic Animal for $30 more on another site. I have had a version of this Shark vacuum for a couple of years and it works great on hard floors but not as great on carpet.
And boy oh boy, does this thing suck up allergies.
“Suck up allergies” - you mean put the head of this thing in your mouth and it sucks your allergies right out of you so you are permanently cured? (smirk).
I’m sold. I am in need, regardless of money. My Dyson cordless sucks (no pun intended) for real vacuuming. House is really to small for my BoB Jr bot to work properly.
Woohoo! My new vacuum is here! Already? That completely threw me for a loop. How is my vacuum here, but not my stealth shirt? I will report back on the vacuum.
I am so happy I took the plunge with this vacuum. It’s so nice going over a spot once, rather than multiple times with my dyson cordless. It is very quiet, and the smooth turning of the swivel head is impressive. It has two settings for bare floors and carpet - when you put it on the carpet setting, hang on, this things has got some pull to it. I also like the fact you can easily access both rollers from the top of the head unit. I haven’t used the attachments yet, but I will try them soon. I love the long cord as I can almost vacuum my whole small house from one plug. With a small home also comes storage concerns. The fact that this folds up to store helps me immensely. My dyson will now be limited to handheld spot vacuum status where it belongs. I am very happy with this purchase.
I cannot believe that I am the only person who purchased one of these to post about it. Followup: I had a DIY home disaster that required a major cleanup. Had I only had my cordless dyson I would have been screwed. This baby, devoured up the entire mess in no time. I also had a chance to use most all of the attachments for this mess, which made my life easier.
I’m giving a BUY recommendation for future sales.

Glad to hear your vac is working out!

This thing sucks.
Suck it up meh—Shark taking a bite out of grime
This isn’t one of my three favorite objects perhaps you’ve heard of them
IRK Plushies
Mehgic 8 Ball (all responses: Meh.)
Squatty Meh! Potty
@reclaimercube A Mehgic 8-ball would be awesome. Although I think it might need a couple of other responses, such as “why not?” and “/buy”.
@ArmchairGamer I mean… I would love for it to have a variety of meh responses. “I guess”, “mehbee”, “uhhhh”.
This deal blows
Anyone know if this is a decent vacuum for hardwood floors?
@Hanky it works great on hard floors. The front brush picks up smaller particles and polishes while you vacuum.
Did you know that this vacuum could suck a MEH face pop socket right up…if I had more of them at least, but nope they haven’t sold any since April.

I am disppointed. Meh is selling non-refurbished products now.
@hchavers
/giphy refurbished candy corn
@hchavers Now that sucks.
This is about as exciting as a used condom.
Please but up expired candy corn tomorrow so I’ll have something for the kids to play with on halloween

@Aspirant_Fool
TL:DR
It’s quicker to say, crap don’t buy
Thanks for the heads up though
@Aspirant_Fool apparently @Woody1 got into the liquid intoxicant again.
Just look what he willingly did to his teeth, above.

This thing is FUGLY
I’m going to give it a shot - we have a long-rangey house with a small second story and scattered vacuum situations throughout, This sounds like what we need, instead of dragging the old Kenmore canister around. Besides, we need to get up to our national vacuum ownership average.
My shitty vacuum just burned out yesterday. In for 1.
This really does seem like a solid deal for it not being a refurb.
Will it work on 220V?
@sandrokv no
@Geirskogul @sandrokv Yep, but twice as fast.

a true disposable POS.

@Kidsandliz
Yes! I would gladly stick my nose into the sucky part. <fwooooop>
Huh…neat vacuum. I like how it folds down for storage. Too bad I already have a little round robot slave that does all that for me.
If it’s not cordless…not interested.
I’m sold. I am in need, regardless of money. My Dyson cordless sucks (no pun intended) for real vacuuming. House is really to small for my BoB Jr bot to work properly.
encouraging-hard-ice
@mfladd you would pick that photo.
@RiotDemon It beats…
I bought this last theme around. Fabulous. Light, easy to clean, no regrets. Good warranty.
*the last time around
Woohoo! My new vacuum is here! Already? That completely threw me for a loop. How is my vacuum here, but not my stealth shirt? I will report back on the vacuum.
@mfladd My 2X (wish it were a 3X) shirt came in a couple of days ago. Maybe yours is being held up so they can make it a 3X?
