Shark - PowerDetect Clean & Empty Cordless (IP3251)

Lots of people may be against Shark but I just bought one of these with the auto-empty and it rocks. Have an husky-type dog and a cat so it's used several times a day. Not having to constantly charge the battery and empty the bin makes me happy.

Second this model. It picks up so much from just one pass over all our surfaces (hardwood, tile, and wool-loop). We love it, and Sharks product support is also awesome. Called to ask a question about cleaning and they literally have someone domestic sitting at a desk ready to go through a service manual with you. Also was the top pick on Vacuum Wars

https://www.sharkclean.com/products/shark-cordless-powerdetect-clean-empty-system-zidIP3251 We got this one after having a cordless stick Dyson for a while. This battery life is 100 times better than the Dyson. Dyson does have a new one that’s battery life is apparently awesome, but I don’t have it so I can’t speak on it. This vacuum is great and the auto empty feature makes it so that you don’t forget to empty it after every use which makes the filters smelly.

Shark power detect. Game changer in affordable(kinda, still like $400-$500) cordless vacuums. Since you spoke about animals. MAKE SURE YOU GET THE ONE THAT AUTO EMPTIES!! It saves the filters and plastics from absorbing the pet smell(that is what causes that funky smell everytime you turn the vacuum on) because it auto empty’s after every single use. https://www.sharkclean.com/products/shark-cordless-powerdetect-clean-empty-system-zidIP3251?utm_source=GOOGLE&utm_medium=cpla&utm_campaign=Shark_DTC_CordlessStick_Shopping_Brand_Google&utm_adgroup=PowerDetect&utm_content=cordless-stick&utm_term=PRODUCT_GROUP&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20649415808&gbraid=0AAAAADofSimwk4HHdgNlB-1ht7EsCSarS&gclid=Cj0KCQjwuKnGBhD5ARIsAD19RsYKKpU1wrKWVyyZrr4f0MADSfBi6r8OWGhex0Q44tvRIG-hV7y-CNgaApSIEALw_wcB

A lot of the power detect sticks are corded which a lot of folks miss. These ones are not corded [Shark PowerDetect](https://amzn.to/4mE23qW). The Startos in my opinion is stronger and more consistent when it comes to suction and the PowerDetect is more convenient (auto-empty, smart detection) but comes with weaker suction.

Top contenders: Henry Quick, Miele Duoflex or Triflex, Samsung Jet Bespoke AI, 85 or 75. LG A9 Cord Zero, Shark PowerDetect, Shark Vertex Pro. The Henry, Samsung Bespoke AI and Cord Zero A9 all feature a bagged mechanism of some kind which make them hygienically a step above the rest. The Henry is the only cordless that actually has a bag which is unique to this category.

I have the base PowerDetect (without the self empty), and I like it. It folds up nice and small so storing it is easy. I recommend it as well.

I have a Shark PowerDetect and like it for the most part. I just wish the accessories were better, but the cleaning power of the duo clean head is good.

I got a shark powerdetect and it’s a beast. Probably not BIFL but with proper maintenance it can last a long time I assume. But I’m stoked on how well it cleans everything

I bought a Shark Upright Liftaway in 2023 for my upstairs (I have a large house) and I liked it so much that when my main-level vac died I got a Shark "Powerdetect", description includes "with Powerful Suction for Pet Hair Pickup". These vacuum cleaners have the strongest suction I've ever seen and the ability to lift off the canister and just use that is really useful.
