Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good vacumm, convenient features, does as advertised.

Too Bulky and Heavy for me. Was looking for a more lightweight cordless vac. It works fine, however, if you use full suction it only operates for 15 minutes maximum. Would have preferred something lighter and less expensive.

Overall decent vacuum, best part for me was it sucks the trash into the bin wnd easy to dispose.

I have owned this vacuum for about three months now and it has been great. I'm amazed at what it sucks up when it seems like our house is pretty clean already!

Love it! Takes a while to understand all the settings, but once I did it’s easy-peasy. Very versatile

Wonderful product and I use it every single day ….

Due to a medical issue a couple of days before I received my Shark - PowerDetect™ Clean & Empty Cordless Stick Vacuum & Auto-Empty System with Powerful Suction, a friend came over to help me clean, so she was the first to use it. As she does it for a living, I asked if she’d tell me what she thinks of it, so you are getting two points of view in this review. She was pleasantly surprised at how well it was packaged. The setup instructions were super easy to use and understand and she had it together in minutes. Once she opened it, she plugged in the cradle station and let it charge for a good 4 hours while she went about cleaning other things. We both found it super easy to use the power button on the control panel, and above that is an easy-to-read battery indicator light. Upon starting and using this thing it has an amazing sucking power. She did use it on carpet and on hardwood floors as I have both. She was able to get in around and under things that haven't been thoroughly cleaned in a while due to my physical limitations (and I’ve never been great at vacuuming anyway). She was able to get leaves that were embedded in the carpets which appeared to be mulched as I didn’t notice any when she showed me the tank as she was excited about picking up leaves. This machine was able to get super close to the walls, again cleaning a hard-to-clean place for me. It has handy little lights on the front for finding and detecting more dirt. This Shark has a self-propelled swivel steering head. It moves forward well and speeds up when necessary. Backward was a little more difficult for her as it was resistant as if it didn't want to go in the direction indicated. Moving forward was easy, but the backwards vacuuming was a little wonky for her. I did not find that to be an issue, but I also haven’t used it as long continuously as she did. The battery life on this is about 2 hours straight as she, bless her heart, vacuumed every room, including the pet’s favorites and kids’ bedrooms. She wanted to make sure she got everything she could while she had the excuse. And it worked fantastic. For the amount of area covered, the storage tank held everything beautifully. The vacuum was easy to get back into its holding cradle and emptied itself. This went much quieter than expected. The attachments went on and off smoothly. The only Cons we both have is that for a person around 5 feet tall (my size) or shorter, this was a tall product. Also, the weight of the top portion with the dirt canister and the battery was a little heavy, particularly as short as I am, though age and physical conditioning could also be a factor. While my friend felt the weight, it didn’t bother her, but she gave me a heads-up before I used it. Overall, we both think this is a great machine.

Beats a regular vacuum and not as expensive as dison

I love the idea of this vacuum! Would be perfect for everyday use for me but it clogs up very easily.

We were due for a new vacuum cleaner and decided it was time to upgrade to one of the more expensive models with more options. This one is not it! The power detect mode is annoying and very loud when on the high suction setting. We have mainly hard surfaced floors with area rugs for accent and this does not do well on the rugs. While trying to use the attachments it would act like it was overheating and shut itself down after about 10 seconds. The one function that I did like was the auto-empty system, as it was very convenient. Returned it to the store and went back to the more economical and more basic design.

It works good, the only issue is it does not work well with dog fur that is long. We have a Australian Shepherd and the front of the vacuum head gets fur stuck in the guard near the rollers.

Phenomenal vacuum. Shark detect works very well. Light on the front helps greatly.

This vacuum works well. It took a minute to get the charging correct. The contacts are sensitive to perfect positioning

Amazing great quality, easy to set up and so convenient with the self empty bin!!

Love it!!! Works great and easy to maneuver. Docking station ensures it's always charged and empty ready to go.

Very good cordless stick vacuum. The auto-empty is super convenient. Only issue we had is that the soft roller broke and we had to buy a replacement which was about $50

This vacuum has diferent speeds for different types of floors like carpet, tile, etc. So that makes cleaning easier.

We have used the vacuum for over a week now and it works great on hardwood and carpet flooring.

Absolutely life changing for keeping the floors clean with dogs and kids

It was time for an upgrade from the vacuum I was using for the last 7 years and I’m glad I made the necessary upgrade. Works fantastic and the self emptying feature is top notch.
