    It is hard to find a cordless that works well on carpeting. This seems to clean my carpet as well as my corded Shark vacuum. The auto empty is a great addition. I would highly recommend this to anyone with a mix of carpet and hard flooring.

    Have used this for three days mostly on hardwood floors. Its cleaning ability is as good as our corded canister vacuum. Even though the head is small, its ability to get into corners and the breakdown system to get under furniture is amazing. I highly recommend this the best cordless vacuum I have had to date.

    This is one the best vacuums that I have had by far ! It picks up dirt that I didn’t even know was there. The light is also very helpful in seeing dirt and dust in areas that are restricted to any light. I recommend to anyone looking for a reliable cordless vacuum.

    Have had this vacuum for a little over 6 months now. I will be returning it. It was disappointing. Suction is low, battery runs out before I'm completed cleaning. I do like not having a cord and the stand is nice to have. 2 stars - will go back to a regular corded shark - I loved my old shark, this one not so much.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Posted .

      Hello there, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that the suction and battery life on your Power Detect vacuum haven’t met your expectations, especially after using it for just over six months. That’s definitely not the experience we want for our customers. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the cordless design and stand, but we understand how frustrating it is when performance doesn’t match what you need. We’d love the chance to troubleshoot the suction and battery concerns, or we can look into warranty options for you. Please feel free to reach out to our customer support team at 1-855-427-5127 (Monday to Friday: 9 AM to 9 PM ET and Saturday: 9 AM to 6 PM ET). We’re here to help make this right. Kind Regards, Shark Clean
