Shark Vacuums With Attachments: Rocket Sticks and Navigator Uprights

Best for
Quick desk-area cleanups with headlight help

The Shark Rocket Pet Plus Corded Stick (HV322) is a sub-10-pound stick that converts into a handheld for stairs, furniture, car interiors and the cramped space behind a PC tower. It includes a Pet Multi-Tool for embedded hair and a Duster Crevice Tool with extended reach, which is the one you want for keyboard trays, vents and cable channels.

The slim floor nozzle gets under couches, beds and cabinets, and LED headlights reveal dust in low light, a real help under a desk. It has swivel steering, a 10-inch cleaning path and a foam filter. The listing disagrees with itself on the dust cup: one feature says 0.68 quart while the spec sheet says 0.9 gallons, so plan on the smaller figure. This stick suits anyone who wants fast daily cleanups. It gives way to the Navigators if you need HEPA filtration or more tools.

• Converts to handheld
• Pet Multi-Tool and Duster Crevice Tool
• LED headlights and low-profile nozzle
• Swivel steering, under 10 lbs

Best for
Allergy-aware homes needing lift-away reach

The Shark Navigator Lift-Away Vacuum NV360 is a navy upright whose pod detaches at the push of a button, so you can carry the motor and canister while cleaning stairs, furniture, curtains and blinds. The box includes an upholstery tool, a crevice tool and a washable HEPA filter, and the anti-allergen complete seal is designed to keep dust inside the machine.

Brushroll shutoff lets you switch from carpet to hard floors, which matters if your desk sits on a rug over hardwood. The listing gives the dust cup as 0.9 quart in the features and 0.9 liters in the specs, so treat it as roughly a quart. This model suits a mixed-floor room where you want lift-away reach and HEPA filtration. It has fewer tools than the NV356E.

The Shark Navigator Lift-Away Upright Vacuum NV352 is the lavender version of the Lift-Away design, and it lists the biggest dust cup in this group at 1.1 quarts, plus the widest cleaning path at 11 inches. It uses washable HEPA and foam filters with the anti-allergen complete seal, swivel steering and brushroll shutoff.

The features mention a wide upholstery tool and a crevice tool for baseboards and tight spaces, but the listing does not include an itemized “what’s in the box” list, so confirm the tools before buying. It suits a larger room where fewer trips to the trash matter. Choose the NV356E if you want a pet brush included.

Best for
Pet owners who need long hose reach

The Shark Navigator Swivel Pro Upright Vacuum NV151 skips the Lift-Away pod in favor of an extendable hose with up to 11 feet of total reach. That hose is useful for ceiling corners, shelves above a monitor and stairs without carrying anything heavy. It ships with a Pet Power Brush, a crevice tool and an upholstery tool.

The HEPA filter and anti-allergen complete seal are rated to trap 99.9 percent of dust and allergens based on ASTM F1977 for particles 0.3 microns or larger. The spec sheet also lists a headlight, washable HEPA and foam filters and a 0.87 quart dust cup. This model suits pet owners who want a long hose and a powered brush. If you need to lift the canister onto stairs, a Lift-Away model fits better. For more options in this style, see our guide to Shark vacuum cleaners for home.

• Up to 11 feet of total reach
• Pet Power Brush, crevice and upholstery tools
• HEPA with 99.9 percent capture claim
• Headlight listed in specifications

Best for
Lightweight stick for small setups

The Shark HV302 Rocket Pet Corded Stick is the lightest model here at under 9 pounds. It converts to a handheld at the touch of a button and includes a crevice tool, a pet multi-tool and a precision duster, which is handy for delicate surfaces like shelves of collectibles or console vents. The handheld hangs from a hook on the wand for storage.

Swivel steering and a low-profile design help it slide under furniture. The trade-off is a small 0.31 quart dust cup and washable foam filters rather than HEPA. This stick suits a small apartment or a single gaming room where storage space is tight. For more corded stick options, see our Shark stick vacuum with cord guide.

The Shark Navigator Lift-Away Vacuum NV356E has the fullest tool kit in this roundup: a Pet Power Brush, a dusting brush and an 8-inch crevice tool, along with a washable HEPA filter. The Lift-Away pod detaches for stairs, upholstery, baseboards, curtains and blinds, and brushroll shutoff protects hard floors.

Its HEPA and complete seal carry a 99.9 percent capture claim based on ASTM F1977 testing. The dust cup holds 0.87 liters, and the cleaning path is 9.25 inches, narrower than the NV352. This model suits a reader who wants every tool in the box and lift-away flexibility, especially in a home with pets. If a handheld fits your routine better, see our Shark handheld vacuum roundup.
