    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.

    Love this vacuum!
    I bought this a month ago, and I am so happy I did! It picks up my dog's hair and anything she tracks in! It also is great on the couches-I used the pet brush and the motorized hand tool I purchased extra. It also is fabulous for cobwebs up high that I don't need a ladder to get or stand on a chair. I bought it mostly for dog hair since I have hard flooring more than carpet, but it also works so well on the carpeted areas and area rugs. Note: on very thick pile, it uses battery life faster. But, it charges well! The auto emptying is probably one of the best features of this vacuum!

    Quit Auto Empty
    I bought I assume last years model. Shortly after getting a small spring fell out and it no longer does the automatic emptying and doesn’t pick up very well anymore either. Can’t find anybody in my city that works on Sharks

    Great performance
    I purchased the shark cordless about a month ago. I replaced my Dyson v10 as I was unhappy with its suction. I am quite impressed with the power detect. I like that it sits on the charger, the suction is really good which matters most. I do hope more accessories come out.
