It features the new DuoClean Detect nozzle which includes two brushrolls and a network of proprietary sensors that automatically sense and react to hidden dirt by boosting suction and brushroll speed when you need it most across floor type, corners, edges, and it even detects direction for powerful suction in forward and reverse to grip and capture more dirt, debris & hair than Shark's original DuoClean nozzle. Large piles, fine dust, and & pet hair are no match for DuoClean Detect. Shark’s Odor Neutralizer Technology guards against bad odors inside your vacuum to help freshen your home. Plus, Anti-Allergen Complete Seal with HEPA filtration seals and traps 99.99%** of dust, dander, and allergens inside of the vacuum, and out of the air you breathe.
