Shark - POWERDETECT Ultra-Light Corded Stick Vacuum HZ4002

Starting using a corded stick Shark ultralight power detect and I LOVE it. Shelved my Miele. So many awesome features. I love the dual rollers. The soft roller does a great job on hard floors. I’ve used it for two months and it truly is a no tangle brush roll . I haven’t cleaned out the brush roll once. There is a light, which really is a must. (Miele fails in this department except on the annoying large powerhead) The handle removes and turns into a handheld vacuum. There is a foot pedal to remove the wand from the powerhead, which is great for quickly vacuuming a corner. The handle portion removes and can be stored on the wand making it incredibly portable for moving in and out of the car. I’m under no delusion that it will last as long as my Miele commercially, but the cost of Miele bags in a year would cover buying a new one yearly 🤷🏻‍♀️ [https://www.amazon.com/Shark-POWERDETECT-Self-Cleaning-Anti-Allergen-HZ4002/dp/B0DBX61C2N/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?adgrpid=164506963818&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.JZ_4FgSoCMst2ACpqk6h3bsK0tbixSNNPaRH5N_qVR2kDH4EeZ02JUBLjQQgmO-hnYdx6F6agYk4hVaLHnq-Voo10qXmKJkZCv3hpH__oIB8O-qiAq0UNQNvV5v-Cpr51UsjZUuKil_YYoDGQ-BcOPTH8wesmaz1KocFfE0D6q1AUOeLiTLebO3aR2AOL89nkhVJa2GbsqnaljJSv4P7YA.f1zDsoSKaH35Iwh8gbHkEwcbhkuI3tOd5EbH96Fi57U&dib_tag=se&hvadid=702191181064&hvdev=m&hvexpln=0&hvlocphy=9010222&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=14419393305407424970--&hvqmt=e&hvrand=14419393305407424970&hvtargid=kwd-2400904115753&hydadcr=27810_14519777&keywords=shark+powerdetect+stick+vacuum&mcid=aa47e881bd72361b93c57f37e2d94f6b&qid=1767127962&sr=8-1](https://www.amazon.com/Shark-POWERDETECT-Self-Cleaning-Anti-Allergen-HZ4002/dp/B0DBX61C2N/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?adgrpid=164506963818&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.JZ_4FgSoCMst2ACpqk6h3bsK0tbixSNNPaRH5N_qVR2kDH4EeZ02JUBLjQQgmO-hnYdx6F6agYk4hVaLHnq-Voo10qXmKJkZCv3hpH__oIB8O-qiAq0UNQNvV5v-Cpr51UsjZUuKil_YYoDGQ-BcOPTH8wesmaz1KocFfE0D6q1AUOeLiTLebO3aR2AOL89nkhVJa2GbsqnaljJSv4P7YA.f1zDsoSKaH35Iwh8gbHkEwcbhkuI3tOd5EbH96Fi57U&dib_tag=se&hvadid=702191181064&hvdev=m&hvexpln=0&hvlocphy=9010222&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=14419393305407424970--&hvqmt=e&hvrand=14419393305407424970&hvtargid=kwd-2400904115753&hydadcr=27810_14519777&keywords=shark+powerdetect+stick+vacuum&mcid=aa47e881bd72361b93c57f37e2d94f6b&qid=1767127962&sr=8-1)

I got a (corded) handheld Shark last week. It has revealed that I am a pig who has been living in her own filth for 5 years.

i had a henry, then upgraded to a shark, and I CANNOT believe i ever spent money on a henry. not even in the same league. henry was just gently ceressing the hair and dirt instead of sucking it up by comparison 

I'd say that's actually my main complaint about my Shark. I've considered googly eyes at least but idk

it was definitely not broken, just useless on carpet. didn't touch the layers of dog hair at all. It was fine on hardwood, but the head needed cleaned a lot because hair (dog and human) got stuck. the shark is the flagship, with this fancy roller that isn't even a brush so hair doesn't get stuck to it at all, and after i used it the carpet basically changed colour because it picked up all the hair straight away. it's quieter, it has LEDs which i didn't even know i needed. just 10/10 hoovering experience by comparison. i literally don't know what people praising henry are smoking

yes! I'm very pleased with it and how it handles dog hair particularly

hard disagree. I bought one thinking it has to be good because it's everywhere, and i cannot believe how poorly it performs. 

corded shark - absolutely phenomenal 10/10 cordless vax - fine? nothing heavy duty though Henry - a piece of shit. Had to buy like 4 replacement heads in the space of 2 years, and i just assumed carpets could never be totally clean. I upgraded to the shark and I could not believe the amount of dust and hair that it was able to suck up that i thought was just a permanent feature of the carpet now. 

If you’re still interested in bagless, you could get a shark corded vertex, last i checked they were 250 dollars on amazon. The corded powerdetect is their latest model of the same configuration and is 350 i believe. Amazing power, and it has a duoclean brushhead that works perfect on both carpet and tile (this way you don’t need to follow that silly flowchart). Vacuum wars youtube channel has great things to say about them.

I got a Dyson Light Ball around a decade ago. Idk exactly when, can’t remember but it’s whenever the Light Ball first came out. I clean the filters monthly and it still works like a dream. I also have a Shark Duo something or other, it’s the Shark with the soft brush roll in addition to the regular brush roll. If I go over my carpet with the Shark and then immediately follow it with the Dyson, the Dyson picks up more in the second pass than the Shark did in the first So I just use my Shark for my hard floors and the Dyson for my carpet, since the Shark is better for hard floors due to the soft brush roll I think a **corded** Dyson is very well worth it

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.

Shark power detect all the way, I had a Dyson v15 and was constantly having to reach into it and dig the dust out. The shark power detect is like $300 cheaper and honestly way better

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.

Just returned the Shark PowerDetect to Costco last night after having it for 3 months. I have a Great Pyrenees and needed something that could handle the hair. It did great! Until it got clogged and I tried to take the roller out to get the clog out. It was then that I discovered the actual roller doesn’t come out. At all. So there’s no way to clean out your vacuum. I called Shark because I thought surely I was crazy, who would make a vacuum marketed to pet owners that can’t be cleaned? Their response was that this lack of access is actually a feature! Now I don’t have to clean it because it can’t be cleaned! And that I shouldn’t need to clean it anyway because it’s self cleaning. I said well, no, if it was truly self cleaning, I wouldn’t be having this conversation with you right now. Turns out Shark now doesn’t make a single model that has a brush roller that can be accessed for cleaning. The only thing you can take out is the soft hard floor brush in the front. Sucks because otherwise I was super happy with it otherwise but if it was already caked in hair on either side of the roller and needing a good cleaning in 3 months, I hate to see what it would look like in a year!

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
