Very easy to maneuver
Very easy to empty cup - i mean easier than trivial -- very well designed.
Very helpful design for recharger connection -- can find hole for recharger without looking, slope of the area near the hole guides you in. (they thought of small things like this while designing the product)
Very good roller - catches cat hair and anything on bare floor. Has never wrapped around despite long fibers and long hairs being picked up... don't know how they managed this but so far it is perfect in that respect.
Very good pickup on shallow carpet - leaves nothing behind.
Very good suction at edge - picks up everything along a wall.
Very good suction at front when pushing into a wall -picks up everything
Very compact for storage. it folds in half -- top bends down so that it is only half as tall during storage and stands up on its own in this position.
Fits correctly under toe-kicks on cabinets and the front edge of many pieces of furniture (furniture that is taller it can reach underneath)
Very useful (and simple) click for reaching under furniture. (knew this existed but did not figure i would use it, use it every time for 3 pieces of furniture that it can reach under. This is extraordinarily well designed.. one click to allow the wand to bend to the floor. No clicks to bring it up back into position. - it is trivial to go back and forth when needing to reach under something. Reach is about 3 feet under furniture which allows me to almost reach the wall when vacuuming underneath the sofa.
Very easy to instantly disconnect into two different lengths for hand held (short and long wand length) these can be separated while the vac is on and reconnected while the vac is on,, so if you see something in the corner that you just cant reach with the brushhead- pop off the wand and/or brushead -- suck it up -- put it back together and keep on going.. no need to shut it off, no need to stand it upright takes 2 seconds.
This has a transparent piece on top of the brushroll so you can see it, and a transparent cup for catching the debris.... it is a vacuum cleaner so these obviously get dirty and clouded over time.
Not built for deep shag carpet but it will pull dirt out of it and lint and fur off the fibers. I might suggest using an upright for the shag carpet but this vac for everything else.
Not a silent running vac, but not at all too bad, certainly not as quiet as a melie, but not as loud as any upright, lowest setting -volume is fine for talking. high for carpet and high for suction make it more noisy but you can still hear what else is going on in the room while you vacuum unlike an upright.
Does not stand up on its own in full upright mode.. BUT has rubber grips in the right places so you can lean it against any wall or counter and it will stand/stay put without chance of sliding down and falling.. these rubber grips were placed in exactly the right spots as part of the exceptional design even for small details. Note when storing it will stand on its own since it folds to half height and balances perfectly on its base in this position for charging.
I've been using this for about 5 months now and can easily say it is the best vac i have ever owned. I don't see any wear of concern on it.
I considered and mapped out how i might do a 2 minute video showing me actually using it in my living room.. but I'm not quite ready for camera and microphone.. so this written review will have to do for now.
If you are looking for a vac in this category.. i would highly recommend this one.
+ Great suction
+ Better on carpets than other stick vacs like it
+ Great with pet/human hair, self cleaning brushroll really works
- Gets weighty fast
- Feels cheap
- Small dirt cup
*For reference, we have a long hair German Shepard, a short hair mix, and a med hair cat as well as a kid, spend a ton of time outside and bring in dirt and dust all day long AND we're in Florida so...sand!
Overall, this isn't a bad vacuum at all. But when I had this AND the P50 in hand, the P50 felt better in almost every way specifically for my needs so I sent the Rocket Pet Pro back.
First off, the build. It's lightweight but in a way that makes it feel cheap. The brushed aluminum stick portion looks nice but when you really feel it, it feels thin and cheap, like the slightest bang is going to dent it. I did not test its durability but that's how it felt. As I vacuumed the whole house, this model's weight at the hand began to feel heavier and heavier. Especially as I moved to use it in hand-held mode. I had to use two hands, one to hold the handle and one to steady the stick as it's VERY long and the added hand-weight made it feel unsteady. I had to bend and struggle more to get the head detached as the connect point is literally at the head and there's no foot-release or anything. When using just the hand vac, without the extended stick, again the same problem in disconnecting it being difficult as well as it having zero length and all the weight of the unit is in the hand. It's not really usable in tight spaces at all without an attachment head.
Conversely, the P50 stick is shorter but easier to detach (higher off the ground and a simpler push-release) and with almost no weight at the hand, as the weight is in the lift-away body which you hold in your other hand, was much easier to use. Using the hand-held without an attachment is easy, too. I ran the battery out on the P50 several times doing a full house clean and my hands/arms never felt overly fatigued.
Secondly, the performance. The suction is great! On carpets it moved easily and you could see it pull the dirt up in layers. It really gave a deep clean that our old (old old old old) vacuum could not. Our only carpet, an area rug, is a quite plush geometric design with hundreds of variations in stitch/direction with some areas raised more than others. It was able to just glide over every part and clean efficiently. On hard floors, it picked up dirt and hair with ease and after checking it several times, it barely had two short hairs on the brushroll, not even wrapped up but just sitting there. The self-cleaning brushroll really works! It was easy to maneuver but at times felt like it was TOO easy. A slight flick of the wrist and it would turn 90 degrees. It was also easy to get under furniture with no change in configuration.
On the other hand, the P50 was not as good on carpets. It glides and picked up dirt but not as well as the Rocket Pet. On hardwood, though, it did MUCH better. The soft duoclean roller almost polishes the floor and removes dust and sand/dirt particles the Rocket Pet's all-plastic roll could not. However, it DOES get hair stuck in it. It needs to be cleaned after every use to ensure the best performance. So that's an added bit of work at the end that you won't have with the Rocket Pet. You also need to remove the lift-away body to get alllllll the way under furniture as it will not fit otherwise.
Since 98% of our home is tile with only that large living room area rug, the important part of the vacuum we chose had to be its performance on hard floor and not carpet. Therefore, the P50 won for us. If we had more carpet, I might have picked the Rocket Pet. The ability to easily switch to hand-held, with or without the extended stick and without -needing- to use an attachment, was also very important as we have many nooks and crannies from our oddly shaped (geodesic) home. The weight of the unit with extended use, with the floor head or without, was the final determining factor and the P50's lift-away body in the non-dominant hand design won it for me.
Overall, if you don't have any physical ability problems and have as much or more carpet than hard floor and have pets, I'd say the Rocket Pet Pro is a great choice.
