GreatVscuum

The vacuum works well. Love the self emptying function. Also the light on the cleaning head as I can see the dirt on my floors and see that it is actually picked up! Run time is also good as my old vacuum would run out of battery before I finished cleaning.

Cordless Vacuum

I love this vacuum. I had a different brand with a cord and it was so heavy to lug around the house. I love how durable and easy to use this is. I really like the light to show all the dog hair in my living room (it was truly invisible to the eye). I clean often so I was surprised there was so much hair but the vacuum did the job! I also love the self cleaning aspect.

You will not be disappointed

Bought this model for son and daughter in law, they were so happy with it bought the same model for myself. We have hardwood, area rugs and tile and this cordless vacuum works great on all surfaces. Have a corded shark stick vacuum which has worked great for years but wanted a cordless vacuum and now wonder why we did not go cordless long ago. Not at all disappointed with our new shark and the auto empty is great.

Lightweight Powerhouse w/Self-Emptying Convenience

I absolutely love my Shark Power Detect vacuum! It strikes the perfect balance between power and maneuverability. The lightweight design makes it easy to transition between floors and use for extended periods without fatigue. The suction is impressive as it tackles dirt and debris effortlessly. It also cleans really well along walls and baseboards. Many vacuums miss these edges, but this one gets right up against them. And the self-emptying unit is a game-changer. No more dealing with dusty canisters; it empties itself automatically, keeping things hygienic and convenient. Overall, excellent design and performance. Highly recommend!

So far - wonderful vacuum.

I will need more time as I have only had a week and half but have vacuumed about 3 times and love it. My floors and rugs actually feel cleaner and I had a Shark duo before. I love how it detects dirt with color light change when clean. Just love the clean & empty system. Too cool. Hope it continues being the best

Best vacuum I’ve owned

I’ve only had this for about a month but so far it’s been life changing, from the commodity of cleaning without worrying about a cord, to reaching corners, under furniture without crazy maneuvers , cleans furniture very easily. I love it so much! I can only hope it’s durable and lasts a long time! For an apartment it’s perfect! For a house I’m not sure if the battery will be enough to clean it all in one charge. Nonetheless if you find this on a discount don’t overthink it and get it !!

Hard floor cleaning wizard.

This thing cleans hard floors like nothing else. Edges, stairs, and sucks out decades old dirt from hardwood. Love the folding handle, now I dont have dust bunnies multiplying under the bed. Head fits under edges of almost everything we own. Love the auto empty system as well. I think the auto sensing stopped working properly, seems to only run at one speed unless it's on carpet. Will not work on any mats we own, it sucks them into the head.

Amazing

So great for picking up animal hair and dirt. I prefer picking my own setting vs using the sensor, especially when switching from hard floor to an area rug. I love the self cleaning/charging dock. It's almost perfect aside from when it sticks if you turn it too far to one side.

On Carpet it is amazing

Review after one month of using my first cordless vacuum. My comparison is vs our central vacuum with powerhead and a canister Miele with powerhead. Positives: On carpet the big powerhead picks up everything. If you have pets - the amount of hair it will extract will blow your mind vs what your old vacuum was missing. Negatives: On hard floors the big powerhead pushes debris away from you instead of vacuuming it up. Run time isn't able to fully vacuum 1200 sq ft and recharging takes much longer than is practicable (hours). The small included powerhead attachment does not pick up anything. There is no "normal" brush head like every vacuum on earth has. It includes a wand type brush for horizontal blinds. It is top heavy so if you try to stand the vacuum up by leaning it against something when moving chairs out of your way it will probably tip over and the dustbin will detach from the unit when it hits the floor.

Hello Glen, Thank you for your feedback. It's truly disheartening to read that the Cordless PowerDetect hasn't quite met your expectations, especially when you've noticed debris being pushed around on hard floors, the smaller powerhead struggling to pick up, shorter runtime, and the vacuum tipping over when moved aside. We can understand why those issues would stand out, particularly when you're comparing it to your previous vacuum. It's great to hear the main powerhead is doing such a good job with carpet cleaning and pet hair. For the hard floor pickup, try making sure the vacuum is set to the correct floor mode and move a little more slowly over debris, as faster passes can sometimes scatter particles rather than lift them. It may also help to check the nozzle and brush roll for any blockages or wrapped hair. For the smaller powerhead attachment, check for any blockages, make sure it's securely attached, and ensure the filters are clean and dry. It can also help to test it on different surfaces. To help prevent tipping, make sure the vacuum is locked upright when not in use and avoid leaning it against furniture. If you need to pause, securely park the vacuum or lay it flat on the floor. We've also noted your feedback on the runtime, attachments and overall design, and we'll be sure to share it with our product development team for future consideration. If the suction issue continues, please follow the steps under "My vacuum has no or low suction" in the guide below. Once completed, we'll take it from there, including reviewing your warranty options and arranging a replacement where applicable. https://support.sharkninja.ca/en-CA/article/IP3225-Series-Shark-POWERDETECT-Cordless-Vacuum---Troubleshooting-Guide Kind regards, SharkNinja CA

Underwhelming

Eats rugs, inconsistent detection regardless of floor types. Plastic wheels scratch floors. Clunky head dings walls and furniture, a little bumper padding would go a long way. The angle necessary to keep it from snapping close is unusually low. Upholstery head looked promising but it just doesn’t work right, what ever happened to bristles? The only good thing is the auto empty. Disappointed to say the least. For the price and hype I can honestly say not worth it.

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We're sorry to hear that the vacuum has not met your expectations. We understand how frustrating it must be to experience issues with rugs becoming caught in the floorhead, inconsistent floor detection, and wheels that you feel are marking your floors. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the floorhead design, particularly the impact on furniture and walls, as well as the angle required during use. We're sorry to hear that the upholstery tool did not perform as expected and that several features have left you disappointed, especially given the price and expectations surrounding the product. We're pleased to hear that the auto-empty feature has been a positive aspect of your experience. Your feedback is important to us and helps us improve both our products and overall customer experience.
