Our Verdict
Shark Rocket Corded
Shark Stratos UltraLight HZ3002
The Shark Stratos UltraLight HZ3002 is better than the Shark Rocket Corded. The Stratos feels sturdier, takes up less room when not in use, is fitted with an onboard HEPA filter, has a longer range, and has a more powerful suction motor, resulting in better performance on most surfaces. However, the Rocket is a little lighter.
