Shark PowerDetect Speed Pet Pro Auto Empty Cordless Vacuum

Great self emptying

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the hoover around a week and a half ago. Certain features I really like, the fact it self empties and you can bend the stick of the hoover to get under furniture. However the ability to pick things up on the detection mode when hoovering the carpet is poor. I generally have to switch to the more powerful mode to do the carpet better. The battery life isn’t great either.

Speed clean and empty pet pro

Absolutely love my new machine, I have bought shark over the last few years and I would not buy anything else now. The suction is great, it’s not too heavy a machine and it’s just so easy to empty when needed to be emptied.

Just brilliant

Excellent vacuum cleaner and well worth the money, better than the dyson

Great vacuum with some very good features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this hoover over a week now.I vacuum every day, so didn't expect it to get much out of the carpet but how wrong was I . We have different types of flooring, the vacuum is very quick to respond when going from carpet to laminate. The scution automatically increases around edges. The vacuum has really lifted the pile on our carpets and if like a lot of people you like vacuum lines in carpet you will definitely get them in longer pile carpets. The handle is quite chunky compared to my last and may be a bit uncomfortable for some. I vacuumed the entire house and the battery had still some power left. The crevice tool is clever as it's 2 in 1 so you don't need to be changing tools it's a dusting brush as well. I thought the emptying station was a bit of a gimmick but I really like not having to empty it after a couple of uses( and will now look for this feature on future vacuums. It is a little loud when emptying but only last a few seconds so not a problem for us. The only thing I would change is the length of the cable as it's not very long. We live in an older house so not many sockets.

Not living up to expectations

Somewhat disappointed with the product. Seems to clog up rapidly needing disassembly and unblocking frequently. Difficult to use on carpets due to clogging resulting in frequent stops to clear the tubes and reservoir. Initially pleased but subsequent use has shown up its faults.

Disappointing Performance

I’m slightly disappointed in suction as research prior to purchase indicated better performance . Doesn’t suck up to the edge as indications suggested. The lights are excellent in showing you what’s been missed . Easy to use, excellent emptying and not too heavy.

Great features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic hoover, light weight and easy to manoeuvre. The lights are a great feature and its picks up much more than my previous hoover.

10/10 hoover!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this hoover last week and so far I love it! It’s a big adjustment from my old hoover but I love having it not plugged in! The light and detect mode is my favourite. Very lightweight. Will just take some getting used too!

a must buy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this hoover. I have had other shark hoovers in the past which I was happy with but this is definitely an upgrade. I have a large washable rug in the lounge which often got sucked up with my old hoover (very frustrating), this hoover adjusts the suction perfectly. I love the blue light as it makes seeing dust and dirt to make sure I don't miss anything as it is often hard to detect on my light wooden flooring. the auto clean feature is amazing as it means I don't need to empty or clean the chamber. the rubber bristles are definitely an upgrade as it is easier to clean and wrappers do not get stuck when accidently hoovered up. the stand had storage for the attachments which is great as they have a place to store, rather than sticking them in a drawer to get lost. overall I love this new hoover and I'm so thankful that i got chosen to be a product tester.

Nearly 5 stars!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Firstly well done shark for using zero plastic packaging, well protected using just strong paper and cardboard. Easy to assemble and feels well made, I did think it was a little heavy but once you start hoovering then it doesn’t seem so bad. Love the automatic dirt detect mode, switching to high suction when needed and also when detecting edges to the room, carpet's look noticeably cleaner as it does such a good job. The smaller head attachment takes a little time to get used to, but once you understand the angle it has to be operate at, it works well on the stairs. The automatic emptying is brilliant, as soon as it’s placed on the docking base. No more dust flying everywhere when manually emptying! The addition of an anti odour cartridge is a nice touch too. Surprisingly the charge gives you a good run whilst always using high suction and is also fairly quick to charge. Now why I only gave the product 4 stars… firstly you only get a basic “quick start guide’ in the box. The full instruction manual is only accessible via the QR code, which is frustrating when you’re still “learning” and need to refer back to the instructions or when something goes wrong. Would be so much easier to have a physical copy in your hand, instead of having to use a phone or tablet. (My parents would be a bit lost as they don’t use smart devices). Seems to be the norm for shark/ninja products nowadays, didn’t have one in my ninja airfryer either. Another downside is that the vacuum will just abruptly stop when either needing to be emptied or out of charge, it would be helpful if the display flashed red when it’s about to stop. Last time it stopped the screen showed I had approx a quarter battery left moments before, so I thought it was due to needing to be emptied. But it never started again so I guess it was for both reasons. Overall a great vacuum and does a brilliant job, a couple of design tweaks would have made it 5 stars in my opinion.
