Shark Power Detect
Absolutely love this hoover, easy to use and carry around

Great Product, looks good and easy to use not too
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great Product, very impressed with the performance
Debbie, 65 or over, Glossop
Battery poor
The vacuum itself is very good but the battery life seems very poor. It does not last long. Tried to buy a spare from the website but none in stock. I registered to be notified when back in stock a month later still nothing. How can a supplier have no stock for so long.

Shark PowerDetect Cordless pet Vacuum Cleaner
This is my second cordless vac and it is vey powerful and excellent for all my floors. The only problem I find is that using the attachments that are provided I find the unit is heavy to use because of the weight of the battery.

Worth the change from my previous one.
After trying several vacuum cleaners over the years, the Shark Upright Vacuum has genuinely impressed me — it’s a real step up, even compared to my previous Dyson. Right away, the suction power stands out. The Shark has noticeably more suction than the Dyson, and you can see (and feel) the difference in how much dirt it pulls out. My carpets actually feel fuller and fresher again, almost like they’ve had a deep clean rather than just a surface tidy-up. One of my favourite features is the illuminated cleaning head. The built-in light shows exactly where the dirt is — which is both brilliant and slightly addictive. I find myself chasing every last speck until the beam shines completely white! It also handles hair brilliantly. My wife’s long hair has always been a challenge for vacuums, but this is the only one that’s managed to pick it all up without clogging or wrapping around the brush. The battery life is excellent too, lasting long enough for a full clean of the house without needing a recharge. Overall, the Shark Upright Vacuum easily outperforms my old Dyson in suction, cleaning power, and practicality. It’s powerful, easy to use, and leaves carpets looking (and feeling) like new — definitely worth the upgrade.

Great cleaning
So well taking care of hair from a moulting German Shepherd dog, and great not to have to scrape hair off the brush, the hair-wrap feature works well. Tools are functional, coped with car pet hair well. Would be great to have a fine suction nozzle to get into tight spaces in the car, otherwise great.

Brilliant
I bought this recently and am very impressed It goes under the bed and couch easily and the attachments are easy to use I like the charging unit as I can use it anywhere in the house Suction is spot on

Great Item. Easy to use the different modes
Easy to use. Good number of attachment. Powerful. Different attachment s ade it easy for different floors and made carrying around easy.
Pavlo, 35 - 44, England
Lots of positives but not Pawfect
Lots to like. Powerful manoeuvrable light easy to put together. Battery/charger not too big. Negatives - filter to waste container fills fast and blocks long before waste container filled up. Means emptying more frequently which a bother. Purchased as a pet model so would expect it to cope with pet fur and not block so quick
Jazza, 45 - 54
Broke after 2 months
I loved this initially but just 2 months after buying it, it no longer works.
Vacuum Cleaner, 35 - 44
Emptying is manual, this model has a 0.7 litre dust cup that opens from the bottom with a release button, and the cup can be removed for cleaning. It does not recharge on a wall bracket. The removable battery charges in the included charging sleeve and plug, and the vacuum stores freestanding by folding with Flexology, no wall mount needed.
Yes, the Shark PowerDetect Cordless Stick Vacuum comes with built-in LED lights on the DuoClean Detect nozzle to illuminate your cleaning path.
This unit does not include a wall feature. To switch the vacuum to storage mode, press the Flexology wand unlock button while folding the handheld vacuum forward until it leans against the wand. To release the vacuum from storage mode, unfold the vacuum until the wand straightens and clicks securely back in place.
Yes, it can.
The Body Motor Watts for the Detect Pro Cordless Vacuum Cleaner IP1251UKT is 380W.
Certainly! This unit features Anti Hair Wrap Plus technology, designed for exceptional hair collection and prevention of hair tangles. Its specially engineered bristles effectively lift hair while you clean. The chevron pattern guides debris and channels hair towards the center of the floorhead, where it is efficiently captured by the anti-wrap combs. This ensures powerful hair removal, making it ideal for all types of hair, including long, short, and pet hair.
The design allows for complete bending, enabling convenient storage and charging with Flexology. This adaptable wand easily maneuvers under low-profile furniture, such as deep sofas and beds, reaching tight spaces without the need for heavy lifting. With just a button press, it folds down for compact, upright storage.
