Why Get the Shark Rocket TruePet?

We love our pets. Nothing can change that. But, boy, can they be hard to keep up with at times. Their hair tends to get deep into furniture and carpeting. And just when you think you’ve got it licked, more creeps up.

This is what the TruePet was made for. It gets ground-in hair and fuzz thanks to its tiny, tough bristles. And with its detachable handheld mode, you can get loose fur in the hardest-to-reach places of your home.

With versatility like this, you’ll spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying your pet’s company. We’re going to look at what makes the TruePet the perfect companion for any pet owner. In the following section, we’ll show what our tests revealed and how you can benefit from its many features.

2-in-1 Design

It’s not often that we immediately fall in love with a review product. We generally have to run several tests to see what works for us and what doesn’t. With the TruePet, the first five minutes proved it to be quite the blessing.

Our pets shed a lot. They climb over everything and leave nothing unscathed by their loose fur. With traditional vacuums, it’s a backbreaking challenge to get every nook and cranny clear of debris. Oftentimes, the vacuum’s attachments simply can’t get to the places where hair has collected.

Shark’s TruePet changes all that. Its flexible 2-in-1 design makes it easy to reach both high and low places in our home. From cobwebs on the ceiling to underneath the sofa, the TruePet handles it all with ease.

Being so light and versatile, it’s an absolute breeze moving it from room to room. It glides easily under furniture and cuts the time vacuuming stairs in half. We wanted to thoroughly test the limits of the TruePet. Not only for the sake of our review, but also to finally get all the loose pet hair throughout our home.

After a few minutes of use, we were sold. Jobs that usually require a lot of work were finished in no time at all. Our furniture looked fabulous and our floors were left spotless. This is all thanks to the excellent design of the TruePet.

Once we finished with the floors, we switched over to the convenient handheld mode to attack the furniture. Getting down into the cracks between cushions, this handy little vacuum picked up more hair than any of our upright models ever dreamed.

The tough bristles made short work of everything we put in its path. Even the most ground-in of pet hairs were sucked up in a matter of seconds. We took it over every inch of the sofa, recliner, throw rugs, and more.

It left our home cleaner than it’s ever been. But what’s most important is that it was easy. At no point during our testing did we get overwhelmed or strained. This lightweight little vac is simply a pleasure to use.

One of the most difficult areas for us to clean is our long stairway. It’s carpeted, and our pets use it often. As you can imagine, it is littered with their hair. Hauling an upright vacuum up and down each step is a workout and a half.

Shark’s TruePet allowed us to knock this part out in five minutes flat. Its handheld mode weighs only a couple of pounds, making it an absolute breeze to use. Combined with its powerful suction, those hair-covered stairs didn’t stand a chance.

In standard stick mode, the TruePet works flawlessly on both hard floors and carpeting. Our kitchen is another area that collects pet hair. Sweeping with a broom just doesn’t cut it. But with the TruePet, we were able to get more hair than we’ve ever collected. This proved to be true in every room of the house.

Now, this handy 2-in-1 mode does have a couple of shortcomings. Being so tiny and lightweight, Shark had to construct it with a rather small dust container. If your pets shed as much as ours, you’ll be emptying it out often.

There’s also no cordless mode. You’re always tethered to the wall during use. This is true for the handheld mode, as well. Usually, we would say this is a big setback for a stick vacuum. But when you consider how powerful the suction is and how much hair it picks up, the trade-off is well-worth it.

Attachments

Shark gives you everything you need to make short work out of anything you throw at it. Difficult jobs that used to take forever are made easy thanks to TruePet’s line of attachments. You get a crevice tool to help you get hard-to-reach corners. This one came in handy when doing the stairs.

For hard surfaces, you get a special attachment that’s equipped with a microfiber pad. For picking up fine debris, there’s a dusting brush. This works well on vents, too.

But what we found to be the most useful was the pet hair tool. It’s a miniature version of the main floor unit. It sports powerful brushes that work to get deep down into fabrics. With so many wonderful and useful tools, vacuuming has never been so easy.

Lightweight Performance

To be such an incredibly versatile machine, Shark needed to make the TruePet as light as possible. But they also had to ensure that it packed a punch. The end result is a well-balanced unit that is easy to handle.

Weighing in at 7.5 pounds, the TruePet is comfortable to hold and a joy to use. Its lightweight body is what makes tough tasks like stairs so easy. Even without a cordless option, you never feel bogged down or overwhelmed.

It’s rare to find this kind of power in such a light package. Coupled with the handy 2-in-1 design, you can now knock out all those jobs you’ve been putting off, like cleaning out your vehicle.

Thanks to TruePet’s lightweight body, it’s such an effortless task. No more fighting with awkward hoses and bulky vacuums. Your back will definitely appreciate the difference.

Conclusion

Our time with Shark’s Rocket TruePet was nothing short of exciting. We were sold the moment we put it to work. We’re confident you’ll love it, too, and we can’t recommend it enough. If you’re tired of fighting with pesky pet hair, it’s time you made the switch to TruePet.
