The Shark PowerDetect Clean & Empty (IP3251) system is the ultimate cordless solution for powerful, intelligent, whole-home deep cleaning. It features an Auto-Empty system that charges & empties your vacuum after every clean, reducing dust exposure by 1000x* vs. traditional emptying. PowerDetect is powered by Shark’s most powerful cordless suction** PLUS a redesigned DuoClean Detect nozzle with dirt-detecting intelligence and multi-directional cleaning, making it THE BEST debris cleaning*** of ANY cordless vacuum.
