Shark vacuums really suck and when we say this we mean they clean up the worst messes that anyone can throw at them. Do you have pets? Many people do, they are such a part of the family that most people would not know what to do without their pet, so they begrudgingly put up with pet hair, but it doesn’t have to be this way. There are many excellent vacuums that work well in the Shark line-up. Here we have a look at top Shark pet vacuums for cat and dog hair in this short review.
Top Shark Vacuums for Pet Hair
1. Shark Rocket TruePet HV322 Vacuum
The Shark Rocket True Pet Ultra-Light Upright vacuum cleaner, model HV322, is a lightweight upright vacuum cleaner. It has a cyclone system so it doesn’t loose section as it fills up, while having twice the capacity of some of its rivals. Unlike some similar products, it is a corded vacuum, so it won’t run out of power half way through the job. This vacuum has a head that can handle hard floors and comes with a motorized brush. It weighs eight pounds with the full wand and even less if you’re using it as a handheld brush. Note that you do have to carry it around instead of push it around as you work, so if you’ll be carrying for an hour to spot clean where the pets hang out, it will wear out your wrist. The vacuum has storage for two of the specialized tools on the vacuum itself.
One of the downsides of this model is the price, around $300. You have to pay extra for a micro vacuum attachment kit. However, it comes with the mini-motorized brush for picking up pet fur off carpets and upholstery. While this vacuum takes up little space, it doesn’t stand up on its own, so know you’ll either need a hanging rack spot for it or lean it in the corner of the closet.
2. Shark Navigator Lift-Away Professional Upright 
First up, we took a look at the Shark Navigator. This versatile machine is easy to manoeuvre because it swivels around furniture and under heavy items. This vacuum is lightweight and has a large capacity canister that can be lifted away from the rest of the vacuum to move up stairs or into small spaces.
The vacuum seals in allergens and has a HEPA filter to prevent dust from re-entering the air. The Navigator never loses its suction and always works hard to clean any surface. There is a special hard/bare floor attachment that has 2 microfiber pads. Pet hair does not stand a chance against the Shark Navigator lift away.
3. Shark Rotator Professional Lift-Away NV501
The Rotator lift away does not lose suction, ever. It is three vacuums in one and can be used as a powerful upright, a lift away portable pod or a canister vacuum. The canister features a very large dust cup and an anti-allergen seal to trap nearly 100% of dust inside the vacuum. The power cord is 30 feet long which provides the best range for cleaning large spaces without constant re-plugging.
There is a dust away attachment which features a microfiber pad that traps fine dirt and dust so that the bare floor will be free from pet hair and spotless. Enhanced swivel steering provides superior control around obstacles and the unit performs well on carpet and on bare floor equally. If you have pesky pet hair, this machine is perfect for picking it up and works well in homes with multiple levels and problem areas. You can easily tackle carpets, hard floors and furniture using a variety of on-board tools.
4. Shark Rocket Ultralight Upright HV302
The Shark Rocket is an ultralight upright that won’t lose suction no matter what you throw at it. It is a full size upright but is not heavy. It can clean bare floors and carpets, removing pesky pet hair instantly. The steering mechanism provides control which helps you to get around furniture and other obstacles that are set in your path.
This versatile vacuum can be used on a variety of surfaces from your floor right up to your ceiling. There is a wand attachment that helps you to get to narrow spaces and the handheld option allows you to clean furniture and stairs. The vacuum has a slim design which is good for getting under furniture. Onboard tools include a crevice tool, pet upholstery tool, dusting brush, microfiber pad and car detailing kit. Remove pet hair from your home, your car and your life!
5. Shark Navigator Freestyle Cordless Stick Vacuum SV1106
This Shark cordless stick vacuum can be charged up from dead in four hours so that it is ready to go. There is an extra-large dust cup that can be easily emptied so that you do not need to spend time hassling with fresh bags.
Pet hair is removed quickly with this powerful vacuum. There are two speed settings that can optimize removal of pet hair from carpet or from the bare floor. Pet hair will no longer control your life; you will get rid of it once and for all with this powerful cordless stick vac.

I have a Shark Pet Professional canister vacuum. When I first bought it I was amazed at how it picked up pet hair and dirt with ease. During the warranty period I had get the power head replaced and the dust canister twice (the clasps for ease of emptying break off easily) . Suction began to drop after warranty expired, so I decided to take it apart. I was disgusted to find dirt clogged on the insides. There is no way to easily clean the insides, so unless a vacuum is designed so that you can clean it properly I would refrain from buying it. I feel I wasted $300 + on this vacuum. Do your research to avoid disappointment.
