    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.

It features a convenient "Power Detect" function that senses dirt and debris, increasing suction when needed. The lightweight and maneuverable design with a flexible wand allows easy cleaning under furniture. The self-emptying dustbin automatically empties into a larger bin in the charging dock, reducing mess and hassle.

    Exercise in Frustration
    I received this vacuum as a gift almost six months ago. Initially I was really pleased as I loved that it was cordless and it seemed to have great suction with the floor head and I liked the wall suction feature. Over time the fuzzy strip on the floor head is almost impossible to keep even somewhat clean. The suction with the main wand is terrible and the opening is not angled properly to pick up dirt along the baseboard or anywhere the head misses. Plus the head is finicky about how it moves over carpet pile. It prefers only one direction and resists going from the opposite way. The price on this vacuum isn't that much cheaper that the other higher end cordless vacuum brands and so one would expect comparable innovation and functionality. Using it is a continual exercise in frustration and I vacuum on an almost daily basis. Overall, this is a huge disappointment. I liked my previous shark upright except for the fact that the cord was really short. I've also had the handheld shark vacuum stop working for no apparent reason.

    Long Hair? No problem!
    So far I’m loving our new Shark PowerDetect™ Cordless Vacuum Clean & Empty System. We have a French Bulldog who sheds like crazy, and 3 long haired people in our house. This vacuum powers through all the hair, and it doesn’t get bound up on the roller at all! No more picking clumps of hair out of our old canister vac! The self emptying feature is very handy.

    Wish I had trusted my gut.
    I have not been a fan of this since the day I took it out of the box. This is my first shark fail. Suction isn’t great in fact it’s less than my cheap Amazon stick vac. The auto turn onto auto sense I hate which there was a separate button not under my finger where I often hit by mistake. Overall I really don’t like the design at all
