    Overview

    The Shark PowerDetect Clean & Empty system is a game-changer in cordless home cleaning, delivering powerful suction, intelligent dirt detection, and hands-free convenience. It's innovative Auto-Empty dock charges and empties the vacuum after every clean, sealing away dust and allergens with up to 1000x less dust exposure than traditional emptying. The PowerDetect technology utilises Shark’s DuoClean Detect system, featuring two brush rolls designed for all floor types and multi-directional cleaning—capturing debris in both forward and reverse strokes for faster, more efficient results.With an impressive 70-minute runtime, this vacuum keeps up with whole-home deep cleaning without interruption. The MultiFLEX wand adds to its versatility, allowing you to easily clean under furniture or fold it for compact storage. The vacuum also features Odour Neutraliser Technology, which helps keep your home fresh by reducing unpleasant smells inside the unit.Equipped with intelligent technology, the Shark® PowerDetect Clean & Empty system detects dirt levels, floor types, edges, and corners, automatically boosting power when needed to increase cleaning performance by up to 75%. The Auto-Empty dock means no more touching dirt, and no more dust clouds—just effortless cleaning from start to finish.
    Included accessories like the 8” Duster Crevice Tool, Pet Multi-Tool, and Motorised Hand Tool make it easy to tackle pet hair, upholstery, and tight spaces.This is Shark’s longest-lasting cordless vacuum yet, designed to capture more dirt and debris with every pass. Whether you're dealing with pet hair, fine dust, or stubborn messes, this smart, self-maintaining system ensures a powerful, hands-free clean every time.
    MultiFLEX technology

    MultiFLEX technology makes cleaning and storage effortless. The flexible wand bends to reach under furniture without the need to bend down, while its foldable design allows for compact, space-saving storage. Enjoy greater convenience and flexibility for a hassle-free cleaning experience.

    Reverse Cleaning Technology

    Most vacuums only clean when moving forward, but the DuoClean Detect nozzle works in both directions—picking up debris as you push and pull. This reverse-cleaning technology ensures faster, more efficient cleaning, reducing the need for extra passes and saving you time.

    Automatic Charging & Emptying

    The Auto-Empty dock takes care of the mess for you—automatically emptying debris into a sealed base and recharging the vacuum after every clean. No more handling dust or dealing with messy bins, just effortless, hands-free convenience for a cleaner home.

    Odour Neutraliser Technology

    Odour Neutraliser Technology helps keep your home smelling fresh by preventing bad odours from building up inside the vacuum. It actively neutralises smells from dust, pet hair, and debris, ensuring a cleaner, more pleasant environment every time you clean.

    Best Vacuum for People with Pets
    The vacuum is amazing! I have two black sister cats who shed like crazy. With my other vacuum (which I loved except for the cat hair issue) I could move side to side and rotate around - it was wonderful. But it would just roll the cat hair into long strips that no matter what I did the vacuum would not pick them up. It drove me crazy. The Shark picks up everything with no issue - I love this vacuum! It makes my life so much easier. My only negative comments are: 1. it is very heavy - I work out and my right arm was still sore the next day after I used it for the first time; and, 2. No little manual was provided. How to get started was provided. I had to go online to look up information. This may save you money - but for the cost of this vacuum a manual should be provided. Yes, times are changing, everything is online but that doesn't work for everyone - think please about it.

    Worst shark vacuum I’ve ever used.
    This is almost the worst vaccum I’ve ever purchased. Not worth the money. Prefaced with- I LOVE the shark brand. I love the way they clean- I do not think they have a good lifespan but they clean so well that it’s worth it. Absolutely not the case with this vacuum. It doesn’t clean well at all, and it’s already loosing a lot of life. Just a word to the wise for the mamas out there who depend on a good vacuum.

    Powerful and lots of helpful features
    This is a powerful, light and easy to use vacuum. The stick has joints that can flex so you can vacuum under things that others can’t. It can temporarily get stuck on highly textured carpet but can be manipulated to work. I love this vacuum however, it is extremely powerful and can quickly plug the foam pre filter . The pre filter must be cleaned more often than you think, there are no signs like loss of suction. This can damage the motor. It does require more checking than a normal vacuum but easy cleans more effectively.
