Our Verdict
Shark ION F80 Cord-Free MultiFLEX
Shark Rocket Corded
The Shark ION F80 Cord-Free MultiFLEX is a better overall vacuum than the Shark Rocket Corded. As a cordless vacuum, the ION F80 has an unlimited range, and it's only just a bit heavier than the Rocket. It also feels slightly better built, and there are even variants of this vacuum with more included tools, which is nice too. However, you'll need to replace the post-motor filter of the ION F80 every six months.
