There’s a rule I hear thrown around a lot about shopping for women, and every time I hear it, it makes me cringe. Marketing companies for years have been spreading the rumor that women don’t like practical gifts. And, while this might be true at some points in a woman’s life, like when she’s going through tough times or has had a life changing event happen, it absolutely is not a written-in-stone “rule”. I, for one, love a good practical gift. Really, the more practical, the better. My favorite gifts in recent years have been 1) camera equipment that I needed for work, 2) a bread box, and 3) a new pair of boots. Honestly, the absolute best present ever is one that I really, really need – and maybe one a little nicer than I would be fine with. So, if there’s a deluxe version of a super practical, needed item, go with that.
That’s exactly what the new Shark® Rocket® Complete with DuoClean™ Technology is.
DuoClean is an integrated system with two brushrolls – a soft brushroll and then bristle brush for deep cleaning – all in one single head. DuoClean technology offers you unmatched cleaning on both hard floors as well as carpeting and gives you amazing cleaning power, no matter what size objects you are picking up.
Seriously, this vacuum head is amazing. You know how some vacuums require you to make one pass over the entire floor, and then you return to certain spots to vacuum over and over again in hopes of getting all the teeny tiny pieces? Prepare yourself for one and then done cleaning where one pass is as clean {or cleaner!} than a few passes by an inferior vacuum. The Shark Rocket Complete also has a feature called the brushroll garage that provides quick access to the brushroll from the top of the vacuum. As someone who has been known to run over shoelaces, small scarves, socks, etc., this feature is absolutely amazing to me since it makes maintenance quick and easy. The Shark Rocket is ultra-lightweight at under 10lbs and it converts to a 4.6lb hand vac for versatile above-floor cleaning, vacuuming stairs, and transporting from room to room. It’s even light enough that my 8 and 6 year old can easily manage it on their own {baby just likes to pretend}, which means the big kids can actually vacuum for me when they go and drop their science stash and all of the little pieces of nature scatter on my floor… again. Honestly, I hadn’t considered lightweight vacuums a huge benefit before, but I can’t even tell you how many times in the last few weeks I’ve celebrated having a vacuum that is so lightweight that it could be used just about anywhere, by anyone. And, not only does it go anywhere, it’s also equipped for anything with a whole collection of cleaning accessories. My favorite accessory is the TruePet Motorized Brush that can handle upholstered furniture, stairs, car interiors, and so much more. Since it’s sweater season, I find that my favorite knits are shedding on furniture and in the car frequently, so I love being able to grab the TruePet motorized head to tackle anything and extract dirt, dust, and allergens from deep inside. My next favorite accessory would be the Extendable Under Appliance Wand that gives you access to hard to reach places, like under fridges and stoves, behind heavy furniture, and reaching super high areas. It has been an embarrassing 8 years since we’ve been able to clean under most of our appliances, so you can probably imagine how nice the Shark Rocket was to have on hand for deep cleaning this month. It also comes with a Dusting Brush, a 12” Crevice Tool, and an On-Board Tool Clip to attach accessories to the vacuum. For any extra accessories and instruction books, you can store them easily in the included drawstring bag. For storage of the vacuum, you can simple hang it up on the included wall mount, or you can detach the hand vac portion and hang it on the lower vacuum above the DuoClean head. I would highly recommend checking out SharkClean.com and seeing all of their amazing vacuum technology. I bet that no matter what you’re looking for, you will find it there first!
This is just what I need this year. I’m adding it to my list!
