Shark HV322 Rocket Pet Plus
Score: 77/100
Black+Decker PowerSeries 16V Max
Score: 64/100Rankings
The Shark HV322 Rocket Pet Plus is a corded stick vacuum offering a powerful 500 W motor, LED headlights and an XL dust cup for robust pet-hair pickup. Its main limitation is reduced mobility due to the power cord and a relatively noisy operation. Best suited for pet owners who prioritize suction strength over cordless convenience.
The BLACK+DECKER BHFEA420J 16V MAX cordless stick delivers 40 minutes of runtime, AUTOSENSE technology, and a convertible handheld design. It is heavier and offers only a single speed, which may affect versatility. Suitable for small to medium homes needing a versatile, budget stick vacuum.

Professional reviewers and editors commend the Shark HV322 for delivering upright-level suction in an ultra-lightweight, corded stick format. They highlight its XL dust cup, pet-focused TruePet brush, swivel steering and long power cord as differentiators, while noting the trade-off of reduced portability and higher noise compared with cordless rivals.
Everyday users generally rate the HV322 positively, emphasizing its compact size, strong pet-hair pickup and ease of use on stairs and furniture. Common praise centers on the sleek storage and effective cleaning, while occasional complaints focus on packaging presentation and perceived weight differences in different configurations.
“Sleek, compact storage; effective pet hair removal; lightweight for stairs/furniture”
“The convenient on/off switch (vs. trigger) and corded reliability without battery issues”
Professional reviewers highlight the vacuum's solid construction, balanced feel, and premium-grade features such as AUTOSENSE, LED floor lights and an anti-tangle brush, noting that it delivers strong suction and good performance on both carpet and hard floors, though runtime drops on carpet and the unit feels heavy for prolonged handheld use.
Everyday users generally praise the strong suction, LED illumination, and the convenience of the handheld conversion, especially for pet hair and quick spot cleaning, while recurring concerns focus on the weight, shorter carpet runtime and the single-speed limitation.
