The Kitchen Table

I just ordered a Shark Rocket

7 years ago

Do you have one?

Shark Rocket Deluxe Pro

I need three vacuums in my house to eliminate the need for hauling them up and down the stairs. I have Shark Navigators downstairs and upstairs. My attic is carpeted, and the cats hang out up there a lot, so it has its own vacuum--a Home Depot model that is failing.

So when Sam's Club had their one-day sale yesterday, I ordered the Shark Rocket at a good price: $139.99. It seems to have great reviews.

Any KT reviews?

My order is going to be delivered today! I'm so excited--it's like Christmas! I'll post a pic of new babies as soon as I can. On another note--I received a bunch of leaves to start yesterday from CVViolets on EBAY. All labeled and iin great shape. These were seller's choice and this is what she sent: Louisiana Lullaby Storm Eye King's Ransom Rmba Red Lilac Fanfare Winter Smiles Ozio Double Jeopardy Designer Star Beauty Goddess Cajun's Royal Knockout Carolina Elegant Affair Apache Gem Tropical Sunset Silent Prayer Simpler Times I've had some fun googling to get colors/habits of these with a wide variety of results. Anyone have any experience and can offer some practical advice? Thanks!

ordered seeds for cucurbita ficifolia -Shark Fin Melon

Christie I would be in the mood to grow something now if winter wasn't coming. We have had rain and some beautiful days. Is the melon supposed to be sweet or does it have other uses. Sometimes I don't know what to do with the Asian produce at Webb City farmer's market. Thanks Glenda I got your seeds yesterday. I used to have flowering tobacco that reseeded but that was before those two global warming years we had. I don't know if anyone gets to Neosho, but there is a good bakery there on Wood Street just off the square. I bought apple bread there for my company on Tuesday, Oct 14. We had it for breakfast Wed. and snacks Thursday evening and breakfast Fri. so It keeps long enough for company for several days. There was other food and snacks but they went for the apple bread. The oatmeal raisin cookies are also really good. I have been known to cheat at Thanksgiving and burn a spicy candle that smells like pie or something. This would be better because you can eat it. I don't know how busy she would be on a holiday but I will run to the bakery from now on when expecting company.

Shark Steam Mop...what am I doing wrong?
Q
Comments (42)
I've had my mop since Fall '07 and liked it a lot. Last week it stopped producing steam, even though the power was still on. I called and a man told me to refill it 2-3 times slowly and pump the mop, what kind of water was I using, was the pad wet or dry? The trick didn't work. When I called back today another man said I'd have to ship it in for repair, $17+ and $10 for shipping. Or I could have a new mop for $39.95 plus shipping. I told him I haven't even had this 2 years, why would I trust them to fix it or buy a new one? He had no other solutions for me. I paid $100 for a freakin mop, I'm not about to pay more for shipping/repair/replacement!

Hey greats, finally somebody bought one so we can gets a review that means something. Hope if performs well for you. Everybody gains when there is competition, with just 2 players in the game now, they charge what they pretty well please, and both BS and Capital have been guilty of raising prices in spite of our lousy economy, that's gotta stop!!!---sooner the better!

I love my shark navigator and would get more sharks in a minute. I have not tried the rocket but I too have seen good reviews. I am sure it will be a great asset to your cleaning. That picture is darling!

I only have 2, a new Shark navigator and an old Hoover...I love, love the new navigator and would highly recommend any Shark product...We have 2 inside cats and I swear, every time I use that Shark, it picks up enough fur to build another cat...And I thought I was a fairly good house keeper, yikes........

I just check Sam''s Club and it's now out of stock and in every club in my area! I would love to hear how you like it once you get it. I'm thinking of replacing my Dyson canister for something easier to store.

We have the floor/carpet Sonic cleaner and it is a keeper for the deep cleaning days or spots. I would try the vac if I needed one,, since the floor cleaning is so good.

I really need one of those for the rv. I have the little hand held one and some other cheap brand of vacuum we picked up from Walmart for like $40. It's not worth that. If we weren't living in the rv it may be sufficient but these days I need one of those sharks.
