    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.

    Dissappointed
    While this vacuum does indeed have good suction, I am so disappointed with it in almost every other way. The motor head is not high enough off the ground and does not steer well at all - I think it only has 2 functional wheels? Because it is so low to the ground, as other reviews have said it flat out does not work on area rugs (even on the ECO setting) because it just sucks right to the rug and doesn't pick up anything. I am relatively young and fit and can barely push it along my rug. I though the other reviews were exaggerating this - they are not. I have two long haired dogs - there is still hair wrap on the rollers, which I expected and am fine with, however more often than not, the "clean and empty" function does not work because the hair in the vacuum cannister is stuck. So I still have to manually empty it rendering the clean and empty part useless. Which lead to another thing - opening the filter/cannister compartment of this thing is so unnatural and difficult to do. I have had a couple other shark vacuums (corded and cordless) and they were always so intuitive to take apart. Not this thing. -Last couple issues: the 'detect' function is slow to react to the level of dirt present, and I've never seen it react any differently along edges as advertised. I also have a tough time just putting the vacuum on the clean/empty station - it's awkward and the heavy weight of the vacuum makes it tougher to lift. Overall very disappointed. I usually am a fan of Shark products and was very excited to treat myself to this "upgrade." I would return it if I hadn't prematurely thrown out the box.

    Other brands are better. Very short battery life.
    Bought this product and was disappointed in the battery life also service support they were horrible Too many robot and when I got to a live person they don’t know what to do or help with the battery issues. They keep trying to go through unnecessary steps for clogged hose. Asking me to drop a penny down it. What the heck does that have to do with the battery. Only last like 5 to 7 mins. Needs a recharge.
