Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the best purchase I’ve made. I love the vacuum.

Good suction. A little heave to lift to clean baseboard with hand held portion.

Bought for our new home with 2 dogs, a cat and a toddler running around. Cordless was definitely the way to go. The charging/empty station is really convenient. Depending how big your home is, you may need a 2nd battery for longer vacuum sessions to finish your home.

Awesome thanks best vacuum on the market lot's of power

This vacuum stick is very versatile and easy to use in difficult locations. Is you’re not the type of person that would clean there home all in one sweep and can wait until it charges it will thoroughly clean a 2b/2b in 2 charges. The auto cleaning factor is also a big win for me.

Wow got this on sale and it does the job with no issues.

Love the Shark, the suction adjusts to the type of floor. Self empty wotk great. High recommended.

Lightweight and seems to be durable. Good for stairs.

This vacuum is great! Love the convenience of the auto empty! The detect really makes it feel that you are truly cleaning the house and the easy fold lets you access all the places that you never really clean when you say your cleaning! Great value great buy!

Good but not great. Works well on my tile floors but struggled on carpet areas

It is very powerful, and worth every single penny.

I guess I didn't know what I was missing by not having such a cool and efficient vacuum! I love the auto empty and accessories are easy to change out. You won't go wrong with this baby!

Greats++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This is nice, however, it is not ideal for homes with dogs that shed a lot. Pet hair gets stuck in the front and needs to be manually removed.

Shark is top quality. Way better price then dyson with more features.

The Shark - PowerDetect Clean & Empty Cordless Stick Vacuum is a very nice, powerful stick vacuum with many great features. I have tested it out and vacuumed my house several times with it. Following are my observations: - It was easy to assemble, with an easy-to-follow Quick Start Guide and instructions on the top of the box. You can also scan a QR code for instructions on the assembly and operation of the vacuum, and to register the vacuum. - It is a nice looking vacuum and base and feels like very solid construction and well made. - It took 5.5 hours for the first full charge. Instructions say it takes 6 hours for a full charge on a depleted battery. - The battery is removable, which is a nice feature if you have a very large house and wanted to have a second battery to vacuum the whole house at one time. - The instructions say it has up to a 70 minute run time, which seems about right if running on Eco mode. However, if you are running on a mode with more suction, then it doesn't last as long. I like to run it on Detect mode, where it will run for about 35 minutes on a full charge. - There are lights on the battery that indicate the amount of battery left. It is recommended to run the battery all the way down to condition the battery during the first use. - This vacuum comes with a flex hose that I really like. It works great on tight spots and under furniture. - It comes with 2 brush rollers that allow you to use it on all types of floors. The vacuum suction works in both forward and backwards directions. - It comes with both anti-Allergen and Odor Neutralizing filters. - It runs in three modes - Eco: saves battery power and has lighter suction; Detect: heavier suction and detects the amount of dirt or debris in the area you are vacuuming; Boost: increases suction for heavy work. - The default mode is the "Detect" mode. In Detect mode it gives you lighting that tells the amount of dirt detected. Dark purple - heavy amount of dirt/debris, light purple - dirt is being cleaned; white - cleaning is complete. I really like this feature and have started using the Detect mode most of the time. In areas that have less traffic, it will go to white after a pass or two, however, in heavy traffic areas it will show dark purple and it can take a few passes to get to light purple and then more to get to white. This amazes me, as I have never had a vacuum that can detect this. In the past, I've done a few passes in a heavy traffic area and to the eye, it appears the carpet is then clean. However, with the Detect mode on this vacuum, it is now apparent there is still dirt and debris in the carpet so it is very nice that it can detect this and let you know when it is finally totally clean. I now realize my carpets were not as clean as I thought after vacuuming with my previous vacuums. The level of suction on the Detect mode is very good too. - There is a moon icon on the dock that represents a quiet mode button. If you push the button to engage the quiet mode, it causes auto-emptying to not occur when you dock the vacuum. You can then turn this off when it no longer needs to be quiet and it will auto empty. - The pre and post filters are easy to clean. Just rinse with water and let them fully dry before re-installing. - The rollers are also easy to clean. You can just use a coin to loosen and remove the rollers by turning the release button on the left side of the nozzle. - I love the auto-empty feature of this cordless vacuum. It is great to be able to finish vacuuming and just dock the vacuum on the base and it goes to work emptying the vacuum into the dust bin on the base. Much better than having a small bin on the vacuum that needs to be emptied each time you use it. The Dust Bin Full indicator light comes on when it needs to be emptied. It is easy to empty by lifting up the bin on the back, then press the release button on the side to open the bottom of the bin to empty. This is a nice setup and allows you to empty it without any mess. Overall, the Shark PowerDetect Clean & Empty Cordless Stick Vacuum is very lightweight and easy to use, with a lot of great features and it has really good suction. I was shocked at how much more dirt and debris was lifted out of our carpet using the Detect mode. It also does a great job on my hard wood and tile floors, and the handheld works great on my furniture too. I highly recommend this vacuum.

So far this is holding up pretty good. Suction is good.

This vacuum is excellent on hardwood floors, and the auto-empty feature is a fantastic upgrade. However, the "auto shut-off" is incredibly sensitive on carpets; it constantly triggers, thinking the vacuum is stuck. After speaking with support, switching to Eco mode helped slightly, but it still shuts off far too often. I loved my older model because it worked perfectly on all surfaces, but I only upgraded because the auto-empty on that unit broke. Disappointed that the newer version struggles with basic carpet.

[Employee of bestbuy] Such a good vacuum for the price! I can’t believe I’ve gone this long without one!

The Shark Power Detect is your answer for the best all in one vacuum. It's cordless, and has a run time of up to 70 minutes, based on the mode and debris encountered. It's extremely versatile. The vacuum head can be turned effortlessly at almost any angle needed without the user having to make any changes in your path. The low profile vacuum head fits under most furniture and even has an extra bend point in the middle of the stick to get deep under furniture and other objects so that  manually moving everything in the room for a good clean is not necessary. The vacuum head also has lights on the front and back of the unit to easily spot debris in any area or lighting. The vacuum by itself is about 8lbs, and probably around 5lbs without the vacuum head. Making this very easy to cart around to use in different rooms, as well as vacuum your furniture and drapes. After I vacuum the floor, I just lift the unit up a little higher and pop it down on the couch. It works great at keeping the furniture clean and free of pet hair. It's just as easy to use this in the car with the different head attachments. The vacuum head has two rollers that work in unison to pull debris in and push it up into the stick. The vacuum head has a kind of comb that the front roller spins against to  help keep strings and hair from winding around the roller. The comb actually works great, and it's easy to just wipe away the accumulated string and hair. There is also a set of flexible fins located on the bottom back half of the vacuum head to help keep debris from getting tossed around while vacuuming on harder surfaces. The fins also work to aid in capturing debris while vacuuming backwards. The PowerDetect has sensors inside the vacuum to detect debris. The lights on the unit (on the vacuum head and main display) turn more of a purple to indicate heavy debris and get white once no more debris is detected. There are also sensors around the vacuum head to determine hard floor surfaces vs carpets and rugs, and then adjust the rollers and suction accordingly. The side sensors on the vacuum head detect wall edges and increase the vacuuming force to help pull dirt away from the wall and edges into the unit. The suction is on par or better than most corded units. I actually pulled more debris from our rug with the IP3000 than our older corded upright. I used the corded unit first and then redid everything with the PowerDetect and was amazed that the PowerDetect still pulled additional dirt from the rug. The Dock works great and is easy to slide the vacuum into and out of. The dock comes with one Odor Neutralizer Puck that helps to keep the recirculated air smelling fresh and clean. The Puck can easily be changed as it's located on the top of the unit. When the vacuum is placed in the dock, it starts charging as well as empties the dust cup. You can turn off the auto empty feature if you don't want the noise at the time of docking the unit. The dock uses it's own vacuum suction to empty the dust cup, and then activates the Vacuum stick's suction power to shift the debris in the dust cup, and then reactivates it's own vacuum to grab the rest. The whole process is pretty quick at maybe 30 seconds and is very effective. The dock kinda compacts the debris so it makes a quick exit when it comes time to empty the unit. The dock can hold at least 10 times the debris held in the dust cup. Maintenance is pretty easy, especially as most of it is automatic, except for emptying the dock and cleaning the sponge filters. Overall, this vacuum works great and can easily be used in so many ways and locations. The best part is that it does so much on it's own with adjusting the suction power and rollers to grab as much debris as possible. It even changes the lighting colors to let you know if an area has been cleaned enough or if more vacuuming is needed. I am not only impressed with the vacuum's suction, but also the ease of use.
