Would recommend

Great Vacuum! I love the power detect when I am using it on different surfaces and if there is more materials on the ground to be vacuumed up it adds power. I can do my whole house with the amount of battery time so the battery life is no issue for me but I know I read reviews where it wasn't as long as some people preferred. Additionally, buying the empty system was worth the money! I highly recommend this vacuum if you are comparing to other brands and/or types.

Don’t hesitate, just BUY THE VACUUM!!

I meant to buy this during Amazon Prime Week but it got sold out! I kept researching and researching this vacuum because I’ve been wanting it for months, and I finally found in stock at Walmart! 💙 Walmart is a lifesaver, AS ALWAYS! Back to the review… setting up the vacuum was really easy and I also watched a YouTube video to ensure I did it right. This vacuum is super light!!! It does take a little bit to charge, but it is definitely worth the wait! I love that it has 3 different settings and I especially love Detect mode that changes colors according to the level of debris it senses! This vacuum is very powerful and you can feel the pull when you’re vacuuming. It could easily zoom away if you don’t have a firm grip on it! 🤣 It really picked up all the additional debris that my old vacuum couldn’t! Imagine how long we’ve been living in that! I could really tell a difference after using this vacuum as the carpet felt super CRISP. I am so happy to have a cleaner, more breathable home. Also, the Auto Empty/charging dock is a game changer! It even comes with an odor eliminating puck that has a light and pleasant smell! I am so glad I finally purchased this vacuum and I know it will last a while. It really motivated me to clean and made the whole cleaning experience more enjoyable 😅👍

Long Hair? No problem!

So far I’m loving our new Shark PowerDetect™ Cordless Vacuum Clean & Empty System. We have a French Bulldog who sheds like crazy, and 3 long haired people in our house. This vacuum powers through all the hair, and it doesn’t get bound up on the roller at all! No more picking clumps of hair out of our old canister vac! The self emptying feature is very handy.

Works great, as advertised.

This vacuum is amazing. It's easy to operate, move around, and clean up. The self empty works flawlessly every time. And the base is easy to empty and clean once in a while. The edge detect, floor detect, and dirt detect all work like magic. Battery lasts a long time, easily do a 1500sq.f home and still have lots of charge left. I am quite sure this is a DC brushless motor. So don't worry about running it in smart mode like some customers have shown concern for, because the motor is constantly spinning up and down to adjust to floors and edges. This shouldn't be a problem for a brushless motor. Now the only thing remaining is that hopefully this product will last for a long time.... A of one month later, it is definitely recommended.

Good first impression

The vacum is as advertised, it's brand new so I can't speak to longevity. Works amazing, it pulls me on the carpet and does a fantastic job, wood floors great also. Sucks the dirt out haha with no dust etc, I really like this shark better than my old one.

Incredibly convenient and on par with corded vac

As someone who has always used a corded vacuum, this vacuum has made my life so much easier. The suction is on par with my corded vacuum, even on carpet. It's no longer a hassle to do a quick mid week clean or vacuum upholstery/stairs/cars. Very happy that I treated myself to this. Reason I dropped one star is I wish you could manually empty the dust bin from the vac as well as using the clean and empty system. Seems like only way to empty dust is to use the charging station.

Great, with a learning curve

Great, with a few learning curves. Changing the vacuum power settings wasn’t immediately obvious, and it won’t charge without the power head attached which I don’t love, but can work with. So far it’s tackled everything I need it to, and with two major shed dogs, and a minor shed dog, the dock hasn’t needed emptying yet after almost a month. So it’s working out fairly well!

Pretty good

Pretty good but still room to improve. A bit heavy for dusting ceilings,walls…etc. And would be nice to have maximum suction power without rug roller on.

Power is great. Edge pick up is not.

It has great power for a stick vacuum, it works really well at picking up small debris and pet hair and I like having the emptying container more than I thought. However, the comb/grate at the front of the unit by the small roller builds up pet hair fast. So, the vacuum picks it up, but I have to scrape out the built up bits several times (I have dogs) per vacuuming session. The edge pick up is not as good as Shark claims — it does not pick up anything alongside a wall.

Hi Renee, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback on the PowerDetect. We're sorry to hear that pet hair is building up quickly around the brushroll cover and requires frequent cleaning during use. We also understand your disappointment with the edge-cleaning performance, especially when it doesn't meet your expectations for cleaning along walls. To help optimize your vacuum's performance, please take a look at our troubleshooting guide here: https://support.sharkninja.ca/en-CA/article/IP3000-Series-Shark-POWERDETECT-Cordless-Vacuum-Troubleshooting-Guide-ca Kind regards, Shark Home

Terrible vacuum.

Terrible vacuum. The low settings don't suck anything up and the high setting automatically shuts the thing off (some sort of protection setting). I've cleaned the filters multiple times (supposed to help keep the motor cool) but as soon as I start to clean the floors, the filters get dirty and the thing shuts off again. So frustrating!!!

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, we really appreciate it. We’re sorry to hear your PowerDetect hasn’t been working as expected. These problems you’re experiencing, with it not picking up properly and shutting off during use, sound like the unit may be triggering a protection feature. This can sometimes happen if there’s a restriction in airflow, even if the filters have already been cleaned. We’d really like to help you through some troubleshooting to get things running the way they should and improve both suction and runtime. Our team can take a closer look and guide you step by step. Feel free to reach out to us here: https://support.sharkninja.ca/en-CA/contact-us Sincerely, Shark Home
