Compare Shark Rocket Complete DuoClean HV380 Series vs Shark Rocket DeluxePro HV320 Series Difference (updated in May 2020)

2 Replies


images from manufacturer

Both of these 2 Shark Rocket series are Ultra-light Upright vacuum cleaners.
The Shark Rocket Complete with DuoClean HV380 Series includes several models such as the HV380, HV380W, HV381, HV381C, and HV382.
The Shark Rocket DeluxePro HV320 Series also includes several models such as the HV320, HV320W, HV321, HV321C, HV322, and HV324Q.

The main difference between the HV380 and HV320 series is the floor nozzle design.
The HV380 Series features dual brushrolls, a soft velvet brushroll and a bristle brush, to clean small, large, and stuck-on particles from hard floors and carpets, they call it DuoClean Technology.
While the HV320 series models only has a bristle brushroll. However, the HV320 models can use the HARD FLOOR ATTACHMENT that will not work with the HV380 models to clean hard floor surfaces.
With the HV380 models they do not require this tool as they have the soft roller on the floor nozzle for cleaning bare floors.
Maintaining the Brushroll.
It is easier to remove anything that wrap around the brushroll on the HV380. You just press or slide buttons to remove the rollers from the HV380, whereas the HV320 requires you to use a coin or other tools to unlock the three locks on the bottom of the floor nozzle to access the brushroll to check for or remove any blockage.
And the rollers of the HV380 series are removable for cleaning up whereas the brushroll on the HV320 series is not removable.

Power Specifications
HV320: 120V, 60Hz, 500W, 4.2 A
HV380: 120V, 60Hz, 600W, 5.0 A

Weight
The HV380 is heavier than the HV320.

If you want to learn comparison of specific models, such as hv322 vs hv382, the accessories included are the only thing to be added to the above comparison info.
Take HV322 and HV382 for example:

HV322:
HV322 name may be Shark Rocket TruePet Ultra-Light Upright, or Shark Rocket Deluxe Pro Ultra-Light Upright.
Its early version may include: a Duster Crevice Tool, an Upholstery Tool, a TruePet Mini Motorized Brush, a Dust-Away Hard Floor Attachment with Washable Microfiber Pad, a Flexible Hose, an Onboard Storage Clip, a Wall Mount and a Storage Bag.
But now it may come with a Pet Muti-Tool, a Duster Crevice Tool, a Multi-Angle Dusting Brush.
Or a Pet Muti-Tool, a Duster Crevice Tool, Hard Floor Hero Attachment(does not use pads).
Or a Pet Muti-Tool and a Duster Crevice Tool.
Or a Pet Multi-Tool, a Duster Crevice Tool, a Multi-Angle Dusting Brush, a Hard Floor Hero Attachment, and a Wall Mount Storage Hook.
etc.

HV382:
Like the HV322, there used to be a HV382 version came with a lot of attachments: an Onboard Tool Clip, a Duster Crevice Tool, an Upholstery Tool, a Dusting Brush, a Wall Mount, an Under-Appliance Wand, a TruePet Mini Motorized Brush, a Hair-Removal Tool and an Accessory Bag.

But now, it seems that this version is not available any more. It now comes with less tools.
It may include a Duster Crevice Tool, a Pet Multi-Tool, a Wall Mount, and an Onboard Tool Clip.
Or it may include a Pet Multi-Tool, a 12″ Crevice Tool, a Wall Mount, and an Onboard Tool Clip.

The included attachments may be different when purchased from different retailers. And may be different from time to time even purchased from the same retailer. And it seems that no retailer offer a package that includes the Mini Motorized Brush which many pet owners like now.
They have many similarities.

Shark Rocket vs Shark Rocket Powerhead which is better for your needs?

Shark HV300 vs AH452
images from manufacturer

Though both of the Shark Rocket original and Shark Rocket Powerhead are lightweight vacuum, they belong to 2 different types of vacuum cleaners. If you do some research, you will find that they are very different from each other and they meet different cleaning needs. So you’d better learn the main difference between them before placing an order so that you buy the right one.

Design
You can use the Rocket as a stick or a handheld vacuum whereas the Rocket Powerhead is just a compact upright, it cannot transform into a handheld.
The Powerhead is designed for cleaning floors only, it has no attachments, it does not support any attachments.
The Rocket is a more versatile vacuum, it can connect with tools to clean upholstery, curtains, crevice, etc. It has cleaning wand that allows you to vacuum high and low areas.
So, if you want a vacuum to clean everything, anywhere around your house, you definitely would not like to buy the Powerhead.

Power
The Powerhead is more powerful, its technical specifications are 600W, 120V., 60Hz, 5A versus 500W, 120V., 60Hz, 4.2A on the Rocket.

Suction Control
The Rocket has no suction control.
The Powerhead has suction control on the nozzle.

Cleaning Width
They both have low profile head to get under furniture, but Rocket has lighter and narrower head to get into smaller spaces.

Storage
The Rocket is wall mountable whereas the Powerhead does not.

Weight
They are lightweight vacuum cleaner, both weigh less than 9 lbs.
The Rocket has a motor on the handle part, so it is a little too heavy at handle. And this also disable it from standing by itself.
The Powerhead has most the weight on the floor because the motor and dust cup are on the head, you feel almost no weight in the handle.

Hard Floor Cleaning
The Rocket comes with Dust-Away Floor Tool with Microfiber Pad for getting your hard floor dust free.
The Powerhead has a all surface brushroll for cleaning from carpets to hard floors. Some Powerhead models like AH452 also include an interchangeable Gentle Touch hard floor brushroll that is designed specifically for bare floors.

Similarities.
They are corded and bagless, dust bin is small, needs to be emptied often.
They have washable filter, fingertip control, motorized brushroll with 2 speeds, swivel steering.
They have no brush off control nor manual carpet height adjuster.

If you need a lightweight vacuum cleaner for quick pick ups, vacuum stairs, under bed, cobwebs, etc., the Rocket is a good choice.
If you want a low profile compact vacuum with more stronger suction for only carpet and hard floors, the Powerhead meets your needs.

Navigator Powered Lift Away vs Rotator Powered Lift Away

Both of the Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away and Shark Navigator Powered Lift-Away are Powered Lift Away models.
The “Powered Lift Away” vacuum cleaners not only allow you to lift away the canister pod, but also allow you to use the motorized nozzle in lift away mode to vacuum under those hard to reach areas such as under the low profile furniture.

Here we will discuss some differences between the Rotator Powered Lift Away, such as the TruePet NV752, and Navigator Powered Lift Away, such as the NV583 and NV581.

Power Control
The Rotator Powered Lift Away has the Power Switch on the handle whereas the Navigator Powered Lift Away has the Power Switch on the top of the canister.
So the Rotator fingertip power button provides more convenient control than the Navigator.

Floor Selector and Suction Control
The Navigator has 2 surface options – Hard Floor and Carpet, it also has a Suction Control slider that allows you to adjust the suction power depending on your preference.
Whereas the Rotator has 3 surface options – Hard Floor, Carpet/Low Pile, and Thick Carpet/Area Rug. But it does not offer a Suction Control to let user get variable suction power. The 3 preset floor modes offer different suction level, the Hard Floor generates best suction, and the Thick Carpet/Area Rug produce low suction.

LED Light on Handle
The Rotator has LED light on the handle which the Navigator does not have.

Warranty
According to user manual, the Rotator carries a 7 year limited warranty versus 5 year on the Navigator.

Cord Length
The Rotator has a 30 ft. cord versus 25 ft. on the Navigator.

Bin Capacity
According to the FAQs on the Shark website, the Rotator can holds 3.3 dry quarts versus 2.6 dry quarts on the Navigator.
