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.

Novel approach to vacuums
I am delighted with this purchase. It is easy to use and the suction is amazing. I love how it empties when returned to the charging station for storage.

Excellent Product.
We have had Dyson Hoovers for as long as we can remember. But this is undoubtedly way ahead in ease of use and flexibility in cleaning.

Brilliant with dog hair
Brilliant little machine. Copes well with dog hair, I have eight dogs and it copes well. It’s easy to take apart to clear any blockage or to clean rollers. I did struggle at first when the tank was overfilled ( my fault) to get it all open to empty into the bin but a quick five minute video on YouTube sorted it out !! It charges quick and battery lasts a while.

Perfect for Pet Owners – Reliable and Much Improve
The new Shark PowerDetect Clean & Empty Cordless Pet Vacuum Cleaner IP3251UKT is the best so far. One of the biggest issues I had with the older model was the internal steel plate design. It often caused dust and debris to get trapped, restricting airflow and eventually leading to the vacuum losing suction or even stopping altogether. It was frustrating, especially during deeper cleans or when dealing with pet hair. With this new model, Shark has clearly listened to customer feedback. The redesigned internal layout allows dust and debris to pass through much more efficiently, completely eliminating the clogging issue I used to face. Suction remains consistent, and the vacuum doesn’t struggle even when tackling heavier messes. The Clean & Empty feature is another game changer—emptying the bin is now effortless and hygienic, which is perfect for pet owners. Overall performance feels smoother, more reliable, and far more user-friendly. This is a solid upgrade in every sense. If you’ve used the previous generation and were put off by the design flaws, this new version fixes those problems brilliantly. Highly recommended.

Great stick vac- very pleased
Bought this after returning a Halo which was a similar price but unbalanced. The Shark is well balanced not too heavy and excellent suction especially on carpet. Not so good on uneven stone floors. The docking is a bit awkward but once done is great to have it emptied for you with no dust plume. The dust bin must hold a huge amount of dust as I still haven’t emptied yet after 3 weeks. Eventually found the filters and think they will want regular rinsing to keep the suction good. Easy to do under furniture with it “breaking” in the middle to save my back bending over. Overall very pleased with it and would recommend it.

Not what I expected
Bought this hoover as it was recommended for homes with pets. It is not built for multiple dog owners, maybe 1 or 2 small ones but it can't cope with long haired German shepherd dogs of which I have 2. I have to clean the filters and the rollers every time I use it the suction is not brilliant and hair gets trapped. Totally disappointed in it . I gave 2 stars because of the self emptying gadget.

Excellent vacuum
After much research I chose the PowerDetect self emptying vacuum. It has not disappointed me. It's well made and powerful enough for my everyday needs. I gave little consideration to the fact that it bends to go under furniture but this has been a real plus. Love that I don't need to empty it afer every use.

10/10 hoover. Would recommend.
Amazing, does exactly what it says it does. The hinge to be able to get under furniture is great and so practical. 3 different modes to choose from is also perfect for a household with all different flooring.

Poor machine
Had this a year now and it is constantly getting blocked in awkward places. Suction is good but it has never hoovered along edges very well. I wish I had realised sooner as I would have returned it. Removing the bottom to do the edges and the top is heavy and clunky. Buying the filters are not easy to find online as with other makes. One good thing about Shark is the light as it really shows up where you haven't hoovered fully.

Great product
I bought this product a few weeks ago and I am very happy with it. It sucks very well. It is very easy to handle. The cleaning device is perfect. I recommend this product with confidence.
