very impressed, good suction, practical
had this for a month now and i absolutely love it. i have hardwood floors and a few carpets and it tackles the different surfaces really well. pros - different suction modes are so handy and effective - empty system which holds over a months worth of dust - empty system has a scent pod so no nasty smells - folds in half to reach under couches - dual roller heads don’t get so much hair wrapped around them as normal vacuums do cons - a little bit heavy to hold in the beginning but you do get used to it - the vacuum is a little bit loud but that’s the price you pay for good suction - will suck up cables if you try to vacuum over them

Amazing
Excellent product. Battery lasts to do the whole home 4br. I purchased a spare battery as I’d read reviews the battery didn’t last long but it’s not required for our house when we run the device on auto. It has great suction power and collects an incredible amount from floors and carpet. It’s not as heavy as I anticipated. I love that it’s cordless! Love it and would 100% recommend.

Quality product
After having a similar shark vacuum for many years I decided to upgrade to a more powerful model. I am more than happy with it. You can't beat the automatic emptying system and charging dock.

Power full
This vacuum is powerful and convenient to use. However, if you have very thick, high-pile carpet, it may not be the best option. It works well on hard floors and standard carpets.

Effective
The suction power can auto-adjust based on the amount of dirt detected and whether it is vacuuming the edges. The stick can also bend to allow easy vacuuming under low areas without having to bend over. The charging station is great too, you can choose to auto empty the canister everytime you put the vacuum back in the station and recharge it. I also like how you can easily swap out the battery if need be. Highly recommend.

Shark Cordless Power Detect Clean and Empty System.
This is a great cordless vaccuum. Very powerful but the battery life on full steam runs out after about 15mins. How ever it is very powerful so if you have tiles and wooden floors it would be ideal. I like this cordless vaccuum the best and I have had most of them including the LG cordzero.

Things to consider
Battery runtime is shorter than some premium cordless vacuums, so may require recharging for larger homes or extended cleaning sessions.
Pet hair performance score
8/10 - Excels at removing pet hair from floors and upholstery, with a brushroll designed for fur pickup.
Carpet vs hard floor suitability
Performs strongly on both carpets and hard floors; PowerDetect adapts suction for optimal results.
Portability rating
9/10 - Lightweight and cordless, making it easy to move around the home or carry upstairs.
Noise level vs category average
Slightly quieter than average stick vacuums, suitable for use in apartments or shared spaces.
Allergy friendliness
High - Sealed filtration system and hands-free emptying help reduce allergen exposure.
Key benefits

- Lightweight Construction: Easy to carry and manoeuvre, reducing fatigue during extended use.

- Easy Storage: Compact design and wall mount option save space when not in use.
Q: Does the auto-empty dock mean you rarely have to empty the vacuum yourself?
A: Yes. The dock is designed to empty the onboard bin after each clean while also charging the vacuum, so day-to-day emptying is far less hands-on. That is especially useful if dust exposure during bin emptying is a concern.
Q: Is the 70-minute runtime realistic for cleaning a whole home?
A: Yes, for many homes it can cover a full clean on lighter settings. Shark lists 70 minutes runtime, but like other cordless stick vacuums, battery time will be shorter when using higher power modes or a motorised floor head on heavy carpet.
Q: How does the DuoClean Detect floorhead help on mixed flooring?
A: It is designed for homes that move between hard floors and rugs without constant head changes. The floorhead also aims to pick up debris on both the forward and reverse stroke, which can reduce the back-and-forth scattering seen with some stick vacuums.
Q: Is this Shark a good option for cleaning under beds, lounges and low furniture?
A: Yes. The MultiFLEX wand is made to bend for lower reach, so it is better suited to cleaning under furniture than a rigid stick design. The same feature also helps with more compact storage when the vacuum is not in use.
Q: What kind of buyer benefits most from the odour neutraliser feature?
A: Homes that vacuum frequently, have pets, or deal with lingering dust smells will benefit most. Odour Neutraliser Technology is designed to reduce bad odours inside the vacuum itself, but it is not a substitute for regular floor and bin hygiene.
