Customers Say
Powerful suction and effective on pet hair and various floor types. Lightweight and easy to use with useful features like auto suction adjustment and LED lights. Some concerns about battery life, weight, and occasional blockages.

New hoover
Have only had it a few weeks it appears to do what it said it would. Time however will tell if it retains its power and suction. Happy with how it has functioned so far. Much better than former well known brand machine, which had lost most of its suction.

Very poor product
I normally love shark hoovers had them for years, this is my 3rd Shark and it is the worst purchase I have ever made. The performance is poor on hard floors, doesn't get close to the edge, Only had it a couple weeks and already making an awful whistling sound from the motor. Having to recharge the battery off the hoover is inconvenient also it sticks out when the hoover is stored, unlike other models that are much neater for storage. It is awkward to handle, top heavy. Empting the dust pan is messy and difficult to keep clean. I would not recommend this model.

Outstanding Performance
Absolutely brilliant cleaner, lightweight with powerful suction. Very happy with my new Shark!

Perfect - wonderful for dog hair
Been using this vacuum since mid April 2026. I know some reviews find fault with it, but i only have 3 words to say about this product. I HAVE PUGS And this handles the pug hair so superbly! And folds very neatly. The only thing I don't like about it is I usually take the wand off for running around pointy corners and really you need to use an enclosed attachment for that purpose. But in the round, I LOVE this vacuum. It automatically adjusts the suction again skirting boards/cupboards/walls etc and when going from my beautiful but so impractical black floral carpet onto wooden floor. 10/10

Very easy to use and cleans well - would recommend! Love the light that highlights all the dirt and the variable speed that responds to the level of dirt.

Great vacuum
Pickup excellent particularly with 3 dogs. Would have preferred 2 batteries
JACPWC, 65 or over
Easy to use
So far so good. Bought to replace different make. i have an equal amount of hard flooring and carpeting so it does go from one to the other easily and suction is good for both types. Only negative point is it does not automatically rechange you have to take the battery off to do this (the automatic emptier and charger was too much extra money),

The guarantee covers faults in materials or quality construction under normal use. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse or normal wear and tear.
Yes, as that is the only charger available at the moment for the Shark PowerDetect Cordless Vacuum.
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.
