Hi all. In this review, we are going to take a closer look and, give you our thoughts on one the leading vacuum cleaners on offer today. It’s a product from the pioneering household appliance company, SharkNinja.
They are based in Boston and develop inventive, groundbreaking house care products that provide great value for money. So, if you are searching for a new vacuum cleaner, you could do a lot worse than to buy yourself the Shark Ultralight Rocket HV322.
This is an extremely versatile and adaptable machine. It is able to clean in all manner of different spaces, including ‘above the floor’ tasks. The HV322 will provide you with continuous power that will not lose suction, even if you use it for long cleaning sessions.
So let’s get started on this Shark Rocket TruePet Ultra-Light HV322 Review…
(4.2 / 5)Contents
Suction Power
We love the power and suction from this vacuum cleaner. It is very much up for the job, whatever surface you are cleaning. You can give your bare floors a thoroughly good clean with just a brush over. For carpets and textured surfaces, the HV332 will really suck up the muck, giving you a really deep clean.
Whether you are vacuuming a floor or raising it up to the ceiling, suction performance is not affected.
Dust Capacity
Shark has managed to double the storage capacity from previous machines. So, you are good for 0.20 of a gallon of dust. That is an impressive amount to intake, and it means you can keep going for two to three rooms before there is any need to empty it. If you are a regular ‘vacuumer,’ who always likes to keep on top of household cleaning duties, then you will increase this vacuum range.
Size And Weight
Shark makes a big point with their marketing, and even include in the name, how lightweight the HV322 is. Weighing in at just 8 lbs it is an exceptionally light and maneuverable home vacuum cleaner. With a floor to ceiling ability, you really will not be struggling to use this lightweight machine anywhere. It also turns into a handheld vac for when you are cleaning furniture, stairs and on raised surfaces, for example.
The tall, slender size means it will easily store away in your closet or broom cupboard. It is even wall-mountable, allowing you to hang it up if you so wish. For reference, the dimensions are 22.8 x 10 x 31.9 inches.
Input Power
You get so much suction from the HV322 because of the powerful 500-watt electric motor.
Usability
The HV322 is a vacuum cleaner that provides ideal suction performance for whatever cleaning task you have in mind. Not only is this great for floors, but it is also able to turn into a handheld vac for raised obstacles.
The slim design with the handy wand also allows for great reach underneath furniture, narrow spaces, and in corners. On the nozzle and hand vac Shark have placed LED lighting to illuminate your cleaning area. This is a neat little feature that greatly improves the ability allowing you to see hidden debris that you would otherwise miss.
The brush head for floor vacuuming is articulated and will swivel around any objects. This means you can give a continuous glide across your carpets or flooring, catching all the dirt as you go. At the same time, it means you can make an easy go of it, not running yourself into a puff as you work.
The 30-foot power cord means there is no need to be changing power points constantly.
The brush roller has two speed settings. This allows you to vacuum on all kinds of surfaces. If you want a thorough clean of your carpet or cloth furniture, for example, you can set it for deep penetration. For a quick, gentle run over any hard floors, the lighter setting will suffice.
These features easily make it one of the best shark vacuums currently available.
Accessories
You will receive an extensive amount of useful accessories when you purchase the Shark HV322.
These include a duster crevice tool. This is designed to really get into spots where the dust and dirt really can cluster.
If you have any family pets, a dog or cat, or other little furballs, then the pet and upholstery tool will be a welcome extra. This is specifically designed to vacuum fur and hair, while not getting clogged up as some regular cleaners do all too easily with such matter.
You also get a flexible hose that will bend to the particular area you are aiming for.
For the vacuuming of uncarpeted spaces, there is a dust away hardwood floor attachment, which makes it one of the best vacuums for hardwood floors.
A dusting brush can be used to go around more delicate items like ornaments and picture frames on shelving. This is also a handy device to have for dusting/vacuuming door tops, and other high and harder to reach surfaces.
And it goes on; there is also a special car detailing brush to spruce up your car interior.
So, it is easy to see how well equipped, and versatile the HV322 really can be. It is suitable and ready to go in all manner of cleaning situations. These accessories can all be stored onboard the machine so, whichever you need, wherever you are, they are always at hand.
Pros And Cons

Conclusion
Well, you certainly can’t go wrong with the Shark Rocket HV322 vacuum cleaner. A completely competent machine that provides versatile floor to ceiling cleaning.
What really impresses us is the number of different accessories that come with this model. You have all manner of changeable heads right there attached to the body, ready to switch for whatever kind of surface you are concentrating on.
One small irritation that can arise is that the dust bag, for some, is considered too small. If you are on a marathon vacuum session, then you may find you have to empty the bag a few times. However, this is not something that we think should dissuade you from buying one.
It is a super lightweight vacuum cleaner, and Shark has designed it with that aim in mind. The dust bag is fixed to the lead, so you have to take the whole machine to the emptying station.
All in all, there is a lot to like about this model and we hope that this Shark Rocket TruePet Ultra-Light HV322 review has been of help and you now know if this is the perfect cleaner for you.
Thanks all, and happy cleaning.
