    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.

    High hopes were had
    Having used my Shark for about 10 months now, I have opinions. I’m going to start with the good. I absolutely love the bin emptying process. It is the easiest I have ever experienced with any vacuum in my life. 5 stars for that. I oddly love the headlight. So weird. I never would have thought I would need that, but I love it. It is lightweight…almost too lightweight sometimes if that could be a thing. It almost seems like sometimes I’m lifting it off the floor when I shouldn’t be. Now for the things I don’t love. The suction is not as great as I had hoped it would be. It is not sucking up kitty litter from a tile floor which I would think would be one of the easiest things in the world to do. It does not suck dirt from the sides as it claims to do. I have made sure there are no clogs. If I use it for more than 20 minutes, it seems to overheat and die. Sometimes a quick reset on the base fixes it, other times I just have to give up. Overall, I would not purchase again, nor would I recommend it to a friend. I would give it 4 stars, but considering how expensive it is, I give it 3. I always go back to my first Shark navigator to compare my other Shark vacuums, and as much as I llove the cordless feature, I’m not sure it’s worth the price.

    It picks up debris very very well.
    I bought this a couple weeks ago, the dust cup does not empty, the suction is great at picking up debris on the floor but I find it hard to maneuver around so I'm not really all that thrilled with it.j

    One of the good ones!
    Really love all shark products! This vacuum is great. Easy to set up and use. My favorite feature is the self-emptying feature. Alway assured a good clean with any use.
