    Great cordless stick vacuum for all surfaces

    TL;DR - One of the best cordless stick vacuums I've used, even compared to other leading brands I've owned that cost more. The only thing keeping it from the 5th star is the lack of a smaller powered brush head for sofas and the difficulty in vacuuming on thick/heavy pile carpet, mostly due to the strong suction power. If I could give it 4.5 stars, I would. I've used the Shark PowerDetect Clean & Empty for about a week and vacuumed both carpet, tile and hardwood flooring. The power brush head does a great job of vacuuming up hair and other debris in both directions, and I find the lights on both sides of the brush head convenient. The battery lasts long enough for me to do a quick vacuum on high power for about 1500 square feet of floor area. The auto-empty function works very well and the new process where it empties the bin in two cycles works well to clear almost all of the hair and dust from the bin, although there still is a fine layer of dust left in the cup after. I appreciate the ease of use in emptying the collection bin in the base and it's nice not to have to purchase bags to refill. The design of the bin will make it easy to wash out with the garden hose outside when the time comes to clean it. Overall, this is a great cordless stick vacuum with some innovative features and design that makes quick work of fast cleanup tasks while having the battery stamina to power through a whole-house vacuum session.

    Shark PowerDetect Vac

    I have had several Shark vacs as well as other vacs from the other major players. The latest from Shark specializes in the ability to detect dirt or ‘not clean”, dynamically. Call me skeptical but I really wanted to add a stick vac to my cleaning repertoire. I have always been jealous of my son and a few others who had these high-end competitors, mostly due to their flexibility and maneuverability of them. I liked how they get under furniture while also easily getting into and around areas that were more difficult with a corded vac. Enter the new Shark Stick Vac. Wow, this thing is impressive! Not only is it light and maneuverable but the dynamic capability to detect dirtier areas took a bit of getting used to but once you do, you can see that this vacuum can be detected when an area still has more to do. You start out and it will up the rpms of the motor for more suction as it “detects” dirt and dust. The lights on the head start out with a purplish glow while it is seeing more dirt/dust and as you vacuum over that area, the lights will turn white to indicate that it is clean now. It also does the same thing at the top of the handle. It is intuitive but also showed me how my rugs at the doors essentially were dirtier than I thought. I would have to go over those areas more times with it revving up until it turned white and the motor would go back to a normal sound. I will say that this can be a loud vacuum. Its noise is variable based on the amount of dirt/suction/speed of the motor as it is cleaning. That is really the only thing that I noted that that some people may see as a negative but compared to any other of the vacuums we have used, the difference is negligible. I think the only reason you notice is because it varies. If you are just doing hardwood floors each week for example, you most likely will hardly even notice it and it’s as quiet as any other vacuum we have tried. One of the most amazing features of this vacuum is that it can finally recognize corners and edges. I know, some of you are saying, what? What do you mean. Ok….so how many times are you vacuuming and you know that most normal floor junk will move and gravitate to the edges of the baseboards in rooms or most especially in corners. Well! They have the vacuum for you ! I have to admit that I was blown away when I moved the Shark Stick next to a baseboard that not only did the light on the side that was aligned to the baseboard light up ( and do the purple/white light) but it also greatly increased the suction on that side/corner of the vac! To ensure that everything on the edge and corner was caught! GENIOUS! I cannot tell you how many times when I was vacuuming with another vac that I was SO frustrated with it’s ability to get stuff on the edges of the baseboards. This vacuum solves that! Lastly, this has an automatic empty feature where you don’t have to touch it. You dock it after you finish, push the button and it sucks all the stuff down into a bag in the base, amazing! So far, I LOVE this Shark Stick Vac! It is my go to for quick and easy clean up. It says 70 min, I didn’t take it till it died but I got about 50 min with one section/bar left. I will try to double ck to make sure I get the full 70 min but I am loving this….i was able to get under a few things that have been neglected for months.

    Great Vacuum for Multi-floors and Multiple Rooms

    I have owned a few Shark cordless vacuums and have been very pleased with them. After learning Shark was releasing a self-emptying PowerDetect vacuum, I had to try it. Just like my other Shark vacuums, this one came with a removable battery in case I want to purchase a replacement or spare. Setup was a breeze and after a quick charge, I was ready to clean. Setup/first impressions Since I did not read the manual, understanding the vacuum took a little time. I mostly used the self-detect option and discovered the purple light means it was detecting more dirt in the area. Once the lights on the display/sweeper head turned white, you could be sure the area is clean. I also discovered that the suction power would intensify on the side of the vacuum when near a wall to ensure no dirt was left behind. Other features I noticed, using self-detect option, was the brusher rolls slowed when on hardwood to prevent flinging dirt. When I moved back to the carpet, the roller brush automatically sped back up. Most stick vacuums can fit under furniture, but this vacuum took it to the next level. Since the vacuum head had a low profile and the shaft could bend with a push of a button, this vacuum was able to reach spots no other vacuum could. The only complaint I had was that I had to use the self-emptying feature frequently since the canister was small. Battery life The battery life is amazing. I cleaned the dinning room, living room and basement and still had a lot left (unsure of the percentage). Pros Cleaning indicator light (purple/white) Cleans all angles Self-emptying Able to fit under furniture Long battery life Auto-detect carpet/hard floor No hair around roller Cons Smaller than normal canister This is an awesome cordless vacuum. I highly recommend it and give it a 5-star rating.

    I have used a Shark cordless vacuum for several years and it is still going strong, with original battery. So, I was really looking forward to trying this new model out. Very easy to put together. The base does take up a tad bit of floor space. Thoughtful design and seems sturdily built Replaceable battery. Charging is simple as you just drop into the base, however the only indicator of charging is a little light on the battery. Would have been nice to have a better indicator. The unit is a tad top heavy but moving from hand to hand helps. Power on/off is a button on top of the handle. You have a choice of ecco, auto and power modes which are changed by pulling the trigger (seems to me these functions should be switched?). Each increases suction but reduces run time. Using auto mode, I got around 32 minutes vacuuming carpet and edges only and got 45 minutes “mixed” (carpet/hard floor). These times are consistent with my current shark, but this has a much more powerful motor and enhanced “duo” floor attachment. There is a battery indicator on the top of the handle, but it is four little ‘corners” indicating 100%, 75%, 50% and less than 25%. Why not have a timer? Seems like a big miss to me. Dirt indicator light on handle and on floor attachment is nice. I thought this may be just a gimmick, but it indicated “dirty” areas (purple light) exactly where our walk patterns are, whether hard floor or carpet – it was kind of eerie. Also, when it encounters these “dirt” areas it increases its suction. After going over these areas a couple of times the indicator light goes white – except for a couple of carpet spots where I probably need to shampoo the carpet. I did have problems using the vacuum on some of my area and throw rugs. It just wouldn’t move easily or tended to suck up the rug, even using ecco mode. However, if I tried moving vacuum in opposite direction it seem to be much easier to move? After vacuuming our main bathrooms tile floor, I used a light I have that shows any dirt. The floor was virtually spotless. Vacuum head has LED lights. I don’t vacuum in the dark but its great to be able to see under beds, etc. Another great added feature is edge cleaning. When running along the edge of a wall it senses this and turns vacuum power to the edge that is along the wall. It works on either side and indicates if “dirty” area (purple) or clean (white). I also use robot vacuums as well as other manufacturers cordless vacuums and none of these cleaned the edges like this unit does. It occasionally got a little confused if running a long a door, etc. but overall, this worked great and was the most impressive part of vacuum for me. Multi-flex wand allows you to bend the long extension to 90% to allow easy use under beds/cabinets, etc To empty you drop the unit onto the base and it opens the little “door” on the vacuum and sucks out the dirt into the base dust bin. I had to try to “dock” the unit a few times and press down hard to get it to empty. There is a lot of play when docking I would have preferred a more tactful/solid connection feeling to docking. It is very loud when emptying but there is a “switch” on the base to not empty (just charge), which is nice. You can empty the handle yourself which is good as I like to clean the handles dust bin with compressed air from time to time. The bagless design on vacuum and base is nice. But the base dirt bin is not clear so there is no way to know how full it is. Another design miss for me. Filter is easily accessed within the handle and cleaned using soap/water. 2 un-powered secondary attachments – dust crevice and a pet multi tool. The attachments can be used without the wand, allowing close-up vacuuming. Odor neutralizing “puck” that screws into base to stop odors. 5-year warranty on vacuum Overall, this is a nice step up from my current Shark and while not perfect in some design details it does clean very well, and I would recommend it.

    Awesome Powerful Cordless Vacuum

    Being a family that owns and has owned many vacuums, we were hesitant to try the Shark Cordless PowerDetect with Power Suction. Let's start with the assembly. The vacuum was packaged well and safely. The trouble began with assembly. I admit I was not sure of which part went where. The included instruction manual was really lacking. It was very vague and the pictures were not very clear. I wish Shark took the time to make a clear, full color set of instructions. I winded up going to the Shark website and looked at the pictures there to figure out how to assemble this thing. After visiting the website and seeing pictures, I was able to put it all together. It was not exactly sure how the vacuum was to be placed in the holder, but eventually I figured it out. I let it charge for several hours and then it was time to vacuum. This is where the vacuum shines! I was literally blown away by the suction power of this vacuum. This thing cranked and picked up so much dirt and hair. I had used a different cordless stick vacuum over the area first. When I used the Shark, it looked like I never vacuumed there! Within minutes the vacuum was filling up with dirt! Lots of it! After vacuuming, all you have to do is set it back in the base and press a button. And boom! The dirt is automatically emptied from the vacuum and dumped in the holding compartment for later removal. The suction is good enough that this thing literally pulls you along. You can tell it senses the different surfaces of the floor and adjusts accordingly. This is great for people who have areas with carpet, hard wood floors, and area rugs. It keeps adjusting to each different surface. The only thing to note that may be a negative for some is the real estate this thing takes up. It requires a lot of room for the base and the vacuum. I wish there was a better attachment system that held all the attachments and got them off the floor. To me, the ease of use and suction power makes me oversee the assembly and size of the unit. I can definitely see this as a replacement for a corded vacuum for most people as it works that well. I love the build quality and all the components are well made and designed. Besides some minor quips, this Shark PowerDetect vacuum is a winner. I can say I highly recommend this vacuum for almost anymore. It will take a bite out of your dirt! Get it!

    We had an older Dyson that we thought was doing a good job. We bought this because it was cordless and easier to do stairs with. When we first used the Shark we didn't think there would be much since we just vacuumed the day before with our Dyson. Were we ever wrong! This thing is awesome! It took up so much that the Dyson left behind! The power automatically changes from hardwood to carpet too. Easy to maneuver, light weight & love the fact you just put it in the charging cradle and it automatically empties! All around great Vacuum! We got it on a sale, but it's worth the full price! 5*****

    This Shark PowerDetect vacuum cleaner and dock seem like overkill. The concept was so odd to me, that it took a while to figure out just what it was that I had acquired. Instead of having a canister that holds a decent amount of debris and can be dumped into the trash after each use, this vacuum has a small “dust cup”. That is an accurate description because it holds less than 2 cups. Instead of dumping the contents in the trash, the vacuum is attached to the docking station after each use. The contents of the dust cup are sucked into the dock canister and the dock canister contents are then dumped in the trash. The dock/charger is huge and is very heavy. A 2 foot x 2 foot space close to an electrical outlet is required to accommodate the docking/charging station and the vacuum. About 6 inches more are needed if the vacuum is in the folded storage position. I don’t know where this is supposed to fit in an average house. I’ve seen it pictured stored in a living room, but I don’t want this thing in my living room - although that’s where I had to put it to test it. The only potential spot I found was in the garage, and I’m not even sure there is enough space there. The included instructions were fairly well written. Sometimes it was difficult to tell if the instructions referred to the vacuum itself or to the docking station. There is a parts list on the lid of the box, but there were 2 items in the box that were not on the list. One looks like an extra filter and I think the other is a hanger for the brush attachment. There is a slot on the docking station for the crevice tool, but not for the brush. Instructions with more detail are available on the website. The box included a neutralizer puck that attaches to the docking station. I am allergic to scented things. When I opened the bag, the smell of the puck was so intense that it gave me an immediate headache, sore throat and burning eyes. I had to remove it and reseal it in another bag. The LED lights on the brush/roller section change colors to indicate the amount of debris/dirt on the floor. If the light is dark purple, keep making passes until it turns white. The white light is very bright, and showed cobwebs and dirt I didn’t know were there. It does a good job of self adjusting between different floor types. It does not do well with floor rugs. It detects them as carpet and tries to suck them in, which stalls the motor. One thing it does very well is get the dirt out of the carpet. Even though I had just vacuumed with a standard type vacuum of the same brand, the dust cup on the Shark PowerDetect was full after going over the same areas again. The contents of the cup were mostly fine dust that was deep in the carpets. The vacuum system has a 5 year warranty, which is impressive. The vacuum itself is heavy and not self propelled. It is very noisy and gets even louder when it encounters a dirty area. It’s not for the weak. After 5 minutes of using it on the carpet, my shoulder started to hurt and I had to switch to the other hand. It’s designed for a stronger, taller person - or for non-carpeted floors. The difference between it and a standard vacuum that is easy to push is that most of the weight of the Power Detect model is at the top. Because of the design, I’m carrying, pushing and supporting 4 - 5 pounds instead of the weight being distributed to the lower section. The heavy part is the detachable handheld section for use with the attachments. It's much too big and heavy to use for anything like vacuuming out a car. I wasn’t impressed with the run time. I only got through 3 carpeted rooms before the battery died, although vacuuming did take longer than normal because I had a lot of purple areas that I went back and forth over until the LEDs turned white. I'm hoping that next time I’ll be able to vacuum the whole house on a single charge. Hard floors go much faster, which may be where the 70 minutes estimated run time comes from. It is possible to dump the contents of the vacuum dust cup directly into the trash and not use the docking dust bin. To try it, I detached the top section of the vacuum, held it over the garbage can and pushed the “trash” button. Instead of ejecting the trash, the entire plastic section ejected into the garbage can. After retrieving it, I found that pushing a pink lever opens up the plastic dust cup. It’s a little complicated getting everything reassembled and in the process the leftover dust in the dust bin ends up on the floor. Which could be a good reason to use the docking dust cup evacuation method instead of the manual method. I’m absolutely impressed with the suction power of this model. It gets under furniture and along baseboards easily. But the size of the docking station makes it very difficult to store. I like to put all my cleaning appliances in a laundry room closet. I can’t store this one anywhere in the laundry room because I don’t have floor space or an available outlet. There are instructions for charging the handheld section separate of the dock, but the necessary cord isn’t included. The port is there, but the cord has the wrong configuration. I’m trying it with an extra cord I had. If it works I can bypass the charging/dock station and just use the vacuum. It’s a powerful vacuum, but the docking station takes up too much space and the vacuum itself is the equivalent of lifting a 4 - 5 pound weight for 30 minutes. Maybe it will be good exercise for me in the end.

    My shopping experience was amazing at the store. I went in looking for this vacuum and took it home that afternoon. It was a bit of a strange high pitch noise compared to my corded shark that just broke, but then I heard my next door neighbor vacuuming and it sounded the same. I enjoy the auto empty. I thought for the size of the container it would be full by now but I’ve emptied into it many times over a month and it’s still not full which really has been worth not having to empty 3-4 times. The container just on the vacuum was much larger too. I can now get through my whole 872 sq foot apartment in one pass and just put it on the auto dump charger when I’m done, where I had to unplug at least 2 times and get dusty emptying into the trash with my old shark. I also enjoy the suction happening forward and backwards. Haven’t seen another do that. I enjoy the auto floor detection too. My floors seem cleaner, but only because the dirt detector makes me think that. Probably just as good as the 13 year old one but it’s definitely more convenient. Love having a cordless vacuum!

    I am so delighted to have been asked to review this product. Wow. I am a big fan of Shark vacuums in general- well made, intuitive, easy to clean and easy to clean with! This new cordless model with auto-empty provided way more than I expected. The box came with a list of the parts on the inner flap and quick start instructions on a single sheet of paper. NO USER MANUAL, but instead a QR code to access said manual. I wish they had either included the manual in the box, or given a short URL to access it (not everyone can read said manual on their phone!). That is my only ding against the IP3000. The pieces go together flawlessly. Make sure you put the wand and handheld vac together and charge it fully on the charging dock before you get started. Then, it's easy to clean! The power button is on the handle and this area also displays the vacuum mode (eco, detect, boost) and the status of how much battery is left. All quite visible while using as a floor vac. The three modes are eco (uses less power) auto detect (sucking power changes based on amount of dirt) and boost (max power all the time). So, I live on a ranch and one Great Pyrenees has access to the house. We are covered in white dog hair most of the time, PLUS the sand, dirt and dust. I had been pulling out a industrial shop vacuum every day. I had the ideal place to challenge the IP3000! Let me say that I am extremely impressed. Check out the photos. This vacuum is phenomenal, sucking up loads of dog hair and dirt with east. I thought for sure that I would clog the hose, but no matter how much hair I vacuumed up, it never clogged. A couple of times, hair did accumulate near the roller, but that was an easy fix to just pull it off... Zero hair wrapped itslef around the rollers! Wow. The best part was I can see when the dust bin is getting full and just place it on the stand and -whoosh!- the auto empty features sucks it all out. The flexi-swivel floor nozzle gets five stars on its own. It is small, yet can swivel and flex under most furniture. The wand flexes as well and I found it simple to vacuum under the sofa and buffet and bed without getting on my knees. Switching from floor vac to hand vac takes one simple button to remove the floor nozzle and snap on a different tool. I used the pet multi-tool to clean the sofa AND the celing! We had dirt streaks near our central AC vents and I was able to vacuum them clean with the pet tool. I used the duster crevice tool to clean the tops of the baseboards and the juncture between baseboard and floor. Clean! No bending or scooting along on my knees! Now that I have established that this is the perfect vac for a pet owner, here are some things I picked up. When you start the floor vac, it doesn't really sound like its working that hard until you hit a patch of dirt or hair, then it revs up. Be prepared for that! When you place the handvac on the charging/emptying stand, it will whoosh out the dirt, followed by a reverse little whoosh, and the whoosh out again. Keep your filters clean and gently wipe off the sensors frequently. This will maintain your machine for years to come. Also, if you have a lot of pet hair, when doing the floor, stop and turn the floor nozzle up and make sure that you have not developed a wad of hair. If you do, just pull it out and throw it in the trash, and vacuum some more! I also recommend you take the trash can outside when you go to empty the bin in order to avoid releasing dust into the house. Finally, the odor neutralizer must work as my husband hasn't complained about 'vac odor'. Thank you to the Shark designers for making my life easy! Since I don't have cords and hoses from the industrial shop vacuum, I can just pluck this beauty off the charging stand and do a lot or a little without having to pick everything up!

    I just bought one of these from Best Buy for $400. I hadn't seen many reviews on it, probably because it's so new, so I was nervous. No need to be nervous: it is amazing! I thought all of the fancy Detect things would just be gimmicks, but they really do make a difference. Dirt detect helps battery last a lot longer; I vacuumed hardwoods and area rugs for over a half hour and it was flashing 1 bar of battery, but still going. Edge detect is incredible because it kicks on and really does pull in dirt off the baseboards in ways no other vacuum has for me. Even light detect is nice because the light is always on the show dirt in front of the vacuum, but light detect also helps light up the room if it is dark. I've had two Shark Navigator LiftAways. When I bought the second one, I noticed that they kept the general design the same over the years but improved the engineering on a few things (like adding structural fins to plastic parts prone to breaking) so I've been a Shark fan since noticing that. My previous cordless is a Bissell ClearView XR which was neat, but not super effective. My area rugs feel like new. So much nasty dust was pulled out of the fibers. And the fins of the roller fluffed up the fibers. Seriously my rugs haven't felt this soft in years. This vacuum is amazing. 100% do yourself a favor and get the Clean & Empty version. Having a base to put the vacuum in which pulls all the hair and dust without any of it going into the air is such an improvement. With the Bissell, I'm always holding my breath when I empty it, my garbage can gets dusty, often I spill on the floor by accident. With this new Shark, it sucks it all down (base, then the vacuum does a little rev, then base again quickly) and I supposedly should only need to empty once a month, which means it is going to the outside bin no problem. Oh, and it charges from that base too so it's always ready for you. And today I found that I could use the vac in handheld mode *with* the powered floor roller attached. Total game changer for vacuuming carpeted stairs! A shorty vac! Can't recommend this vacuum enough! Hope this review helps; I would've appreciated finding one before purchasing so I wasn't nervous for no reason!

    The Shark PowerDetect Cordless Stick Vacuum is an exceptional cleaning tool that has transformed my approach to household cleaning. Its powerful suction ensures thorough cleaning across various surfaces, from hardwood floors to carpets, effortlessly picking up dirt, debris, and pet hair. The HEPA filtration system is a standout feature, as it effectively traps allergens, making it a great choice for households with allergy sufferers. The cordless design provides unparalleled convenience, allowing me to clean without being tethered to an outlet. The Auto-Empty System is a game-changer, saving time and reducing contact with dust and debris. Additionally, the PowerDetect technology automatically adjusts suction power based on the cleaning surface, optimizing both performance and battery life. One minor issue is the dustbin size, which fills up relatively quickly, especially in larger households or after deep cleaning sessions. However, this is mitigated by the Auto-Empty System, which makes emptying the bin hassle-free. Overall, the Shark PowerDetect Cordless Stick Vacuum is a highly efficient and user-friendly vacuum that delivers outstanding results. It’s a worthy investment for anyone seeking a versatile and powerful cleaning solution. Highly recommended!

    Love, love, love this vacuum! I have hardwood floors and area rugs. It moves flawlessly from one surface to another. The self emptying feature is amazing! After years of looking for a perfect cirdless vacuum I finally found one!

    Very impressed with this version of Shark. We have had two previous ones but this one is far superior in all qualities. Much better suction and cleaning power as well as how long the battery lasts… twice as long as previous ones. The auto adjustment for power based on what it senses is fantastic as is the self cleaning feature. It is light and easy to use. All in all a wonderful purchase. We no longer use a corded vacuum we had which we felt we needed to use periodically to catch what previous vacuums did not pick up. Great on carpet as well as tile. Only drawback is does not work well on thicker taller pile carpet

    I have four cats and one dog, and this thing keeps my house clean. I have litter boxes in my basement, upstairs and downstairs. I use a big corded vacuum for power cleaning, but this little cordless vac is great to have for quick cleanups. I keep one of these upstairs and downstairs for convenience. I got tired of fighting my robot vacuum that seemed like it was always on a union break. Now I just grab my stick vacuum and I'm done in a couple minutes each day. This is much faster at attacking problem areas. I didn't know what I was missing out on with these cordless stick vacs. I also have a Dyson Gen5 outsize I keep in my office. But what I like about the Shark the most is the dual head. It handles hard and carpet floors without having to change heads. The auto empty is also a wonderful feature. Keeping my floors clean has never been so easy for me!

    I absolutely love this vacuum. Shark products have never let me down. This light weight vac allows me pickup messes with ease and have to go get my corded Shark vac that ive had over 10 years and still has great suction by the way. I keep this one downstairs for easy access. I love the self empty feature it has and the scent tab that it comes with. The vac doesn't take up too much space which i love. I did notice that it doesnt like thick carpet but thats not too much of a big deal to me because i still have my other vac to tackle thicker carpet

    This vacuum is a beast. I have the 1st one from 8 years ago and its still working. I use it for my basement now. But this new pro version works great. The battery last a while for me. I have 1700 sqf of carpet and hasn’t went dead yet. It picks everything up. I use it on the auto setting. And the auto empty if a fantastic feature. This thing is hassle free. It is a little bit pricey but if you want a good vac you have to pay for it. Blows dyson away. I also have a corded shark for upstairs which is also a beast. But its pretty heavy. If you can afford this vacuume then you wont regret it.

    The Shark - PowerDetect™ Clean & Empty Cordless Stick Vacuum & Auto Empty system is a dream come true for those of us that have multiple pets, in my case 3 dogs, that shed like crazy. For years, I have been looking at all types and kinds of vacuum reviews by people with pets and what their recommendations are. Oftentimes, they identify something, but many vacuum their floors numerous times each and every day. So, what does that tell you is the most important thing-it has to be simple, effective, and an easy process for the vacuum user. The system that I saw most highly rated was this one and I had decided to wait for the upcoming seasonal sales to see if Shark would be discounting it, all these goodies do come at a cost. It was fate that shortly after I had made this decision, this item came up for request in the Tech Insiders Network, but all the units had been taken by the time that I saw it. However, it was fate that made me go back onto the website and see that someone must have canceled their request, so I was able to get this, I am so grateful for that. Just like anyone else, I want a tidy home, especially since I have put a lot of time, money, and energy into its decoration and furnishing. Last year we took all our carpet out and replaced it with hardwood floors. Two of the three dogs that I mentioned in the first paragraph are my husband's dogs-a straight hair Border Collie and a Belgian Malinois. During the day they are kept in a kitchen/ sunroom area. My goodness they not only shed terribly on the hardwood floors, but in their beds, on furniture, even if they are not on the furniture-it just flies everywhere. I am so glad that I get to own this machine to make my life easier. Why do I love this machine? One, with all the technology it is very easy to assemble-no problems. Two, I love that it is a self-cleaning machine. All my other vacuums have plastic collection bins that require the user to either push a button or a lever to open and then, over a trash can dispose of the inside dirt, yucky. In a couple of cases there is some sort of filter that is in the bin, and it falls out into the trash, to which I need to then fish it out of the trash or get my hands dirty extracting some of the contents that do not automatically fall out of the bin, yucky again. In any case all the dust is going into the air and with self-cleaning it is self-contained. Three, tis battery charges on the base, the base also has two bump ups that you can attach 2 of the 3 accessories, and there is another free-standing plate with a bump up that you can put the 3rd accessory on. Third, the length from motor to floor cleaner is jointed and allow the user to bend the bar and be able to easily in a low profile vacuum under a table, a chair, etc. Fourth, the floor cleaner has a no hair tangle technology and it picks up dirt as it is coming and going, making for a more efficient way to pick up dirt. There is also a great side detect and pick up when vacuuming up against your floor base boards, the base of your kitchen cabinetry, or furniture. Also, there is a lever on the motor that allows the 3 different power levels- power-detect, full, or eco. Power detect will figure out how much dirt is on the floor and the floor type to determine how much oompf is needed to pick it up. That power requirement will also make determine the motor loudness-less or more. I am very happy that I got this vacuum for my floor, upholstery, stair, up and down cleaning.

    Really enjoy the self empty feature and auto rollers. A few things i would change but all depends on the person you are. Would like the auto empty into the base to be into a hepa bag with single button disposal vs having to empty the bin. Battery life is good but not whole house worthy which keeps it light.

    The Shark PowerDetect Cordless Stick Vacuum is an impressive cleaning tool making it a great choice for their cleaning routine. One of the nice features of this vacuum is its suction capability. The machine can automatically adjust the suction power based on the surface being cleaned, ensuring the right performance on carpets, hardwood floors, and other surfaces. The cordless design provides freedom of movement without the annoyance of tangled cords. Additionally, the auto-empty system eliminating the need for frequent emptying of the dustbin. This feature has been one of the best features of this unit. Overall, the Shark PowerDetect Cordless Stick Vacuum is worth considering as a cleaning tool. The suction, filtration, and design of the unit make it an excellent investment for anyone wanting to simplify their cleaning tasks in their home.

    I recently purchased the Shark Power Detect Hand Vacuum from Best Buy, and it has exceeded all my expectations! This compact yet powerful device is perfect for quick clean-ups and tackling those hard-to-reach areas. The suction power is incredible, and the Power Detect technology adjusts seamlessly to ensure nothing gets left behind. It’s lightweight and easy to handle, making cleaning a breeze. I especially love the long battery life—it lasts long enough for me to clean my car and spot-clean around the house in one go. Plus, it’s easy to empty and maintain. The staff at Best Buy were super helpful in recommending this vacuum, and I’m so glad I took their advice. If you’re looking for a high-performance hand vacuum, the Shark Power Detect is worth every penny. Highly recommend!
