About this product
Experience Shark's best cleaning cordless vacuum with new reverse clean technology, and Shark's most powerful cordless suction. The Shark PowerDetect Clean & Empty is a powerful, intelligent, deep-cleaning cordless vacuum that charges and empties after every clean – locking away dirt and debris for weeks at a time.
Always ready, always charged: The Auto-Empty base holds dirt & debris for up to 45 days, and automatically empties and charges the vacuum while docked, so it's always ready for the next clean. Anti-Odour & Anti-Allergen Complete Seal.
DuoClean Detect: Two brush-rolls and multiple sensors react and adapt for optimal performance. DirectionDetect: Designed to work in both forward AND reverse. DirtDetect: Senses embedded dirt and boosts cleaning power.
EdgeDetect: Senses edges & corners and increases suction. FloorDetect: Senses floor type and adjusts brush-roll speed and suction. Anti Hair Wrap Plus provides powerful hair pickup and anti-hair wrap performance.

We really like our new vacuum
I've now had this vacuum cleaner for around a month and I and my family are generally very pleased with it. Before we had a Dyson cordless, which was pretty good when we first bought it, but it's now old and has deteriorated (certain parts broke, and overall it just didn't work as well). The Shark is considerably better - it does more, and overall cleans better on both hard and carpeted floors. It is maybe a little more awkward on the stairs than the Dyson was, but it collects more dirt. We like the lights that make it clear where the dirt is, particularly on the hard floors. It saves a lot of messy trips to the bin that the Shark empties itself into the base, though this obviously takes up more room. The only slight snag is that it has many filters, on the vacuum cleaner itself and on the base. They are not particularly difficult to remove and clean, but it takes longer than it did with the old machine which had only one easy-to-remove filter. It is maybe an issue that Shark send links to several videos about how to use the machine before it even arrives. That's in principle very helpful, but in some cases what's shown in the videos is a bit out of date - the machine has evidently been changed in some ways since the video was made. This initially caused us some confusion with what should be in the delivery box, but it was sorted out.

Great for the first 5 months
I originally loved this vacuum but after 5 months the electrics to the charging bin completely stopped working so could not be used. I contacted Shark and they were really helpful and have arranged a collection.

Should have gone for the manual empty version
Having used this vacuum for a few months I can definetly say I regret choosing this model. The auto empty function doesn't work well if you have much pet hair - it just doesn't come out and results in a fiddly and messy job of emptying in manually, something it wasn't designed for. Also having moved from a Samsung I do find it heavy and you need strong wrists! On the pkus side it is very powerfuk and cleans well with the light showing up dirt on hard floors you don't realise is there,

Best Vacuum Ever
This is the best vacuum I've ever had. It knows where it has to work a bit harder and it glides onto laminate from carpet. The self empty and clean is a game changer. I would advise everyone to have one.
