Our Verdict

Shark Rocket Corded

Shark Vertex UltraLight Corded

The Shark Vertex UltraLight Corded and Shark Rocket Corded have different advantages, so depending on your needs, one might suit you better than the other. The Vertex feels better built and has a longer overall range.  However, the Rocket is a little bit easier to maintain.
